The Trees Across The Street

I looked out this dreary morning to see what I assume to be the last hurrah of color for our neighborhood trees. The day is dark and gloomy, but through the drizzle on the window the bright colors said, 'Come look at us, we'll soon be gone."

I am so thankful for the beautiful fall we have had this year. Usually in Oklahoma it is like someone flipped a switch from hot to cold with maybe one or two days of fall stuck in between. This year the changing trees lingered for our pleasure.

I love the fall colors and it creates in me a passion to cozy up my home and living space. I also think towards my clients who are looking for their dream home and it is my goal to help them find it. I wish for each and everyone a place to call home; a place that is their own.

Don't Let Thanksgiving End

Rick and Nancy Jackson — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:19:00 GMT

The Thanksgiving Holiday is over, but don't let the Thanksgiving end! I know that it has been a challenging year for almost everyone. Many have been out of work and desperately seeking employment, some have lost their homes and have had to start all over. Combine that with the uncertain political landscape and it is truly an unsettling time.

But, even if you are one of those who have had a hard year, I am confident that you will be able to look around and find many things to be thankful for. I also know that as you do take your focus on what is or has gone wrong in your life and re-focus on the things that are good, you will begin to feel encouraged.

We have all heard the old cliches such as "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", etc. When you are stuggling those types of so called encouraging words can be like salt in a wound. But truly pressure and conflict toughens and sharpens us. Oh how many times I've said, "I'm strong enough!!!" But looking back at conflicts and tough times of 10 or 20 years ago, seem so trivial and minute. So, I must be growing and able to withstand more each year, which means it takes a lot more to cause me stress and to inflict pressure.

Maybe that is why, in my observation, that 'older' people seem much happier and carefree. Their priorities are different and the simple things bring so much more pleasure. Letting go of the cares of this life can free you to be much happier too.

So, this Christmas season, if you don't have as much money as before to buy all the things for Christmas that you would like, don't stress. Tell those you love and give them what you have, yourself. That is propbably all they really wanted anyway!!

Have a Merry Christmas and wonderful holiday season.

Now that it is Fall...

Rick and Nancy Jackson — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:16:00 GMT

It is fall and it brings visions of bulky sweaters to shrink down into, cozy fireplaces and hot cocoa! Our thoughts turn from outdoor activities to the coziness of our homes and families. As you are reading this you have your own image of what I am writing about.

I love the outdoors and when fall would arrive I would grow somewhat sad because that would mean the beginning of my sequestering indoors. But I relish my time in doors now. Now I look at it as time to grow close to those most important to me – my friends and family!

I hope this fall you have a cozy home to gather your family and friends around. If not, don't despair! We can help you. Don't rejudge your size of income or credit history. Let us see if we can help make your home dreams come true.

Seeing fall in a whole new light, warmth, family and a cozy atmosphere has only served to inspire me! I hope that you will be inspired this fall too!

Is Buying a Home in Today's Economy a Good Idea?

Rick and Nancy Jackson — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:09:00 GMT

Recently when watching a news channel the discussion turned to the decline of the American dollar and the repercussion that had on the wealth of us individually as citizens.

The one thing they all agreed upon was that regardless of whether the dollar was weak or strong, the most solid investments or retainers of wealth were gold and real estate, even in this economy. Real Estate has gained 5% consistently through the years. In Oklahoma we have been fortunate that we have not seen a major readjustment to that growth. We have maintained steady growth.

In states where the Real Estate market was recently hit hard, the growth exceeded 5% growing in some areas to 25% and even 50% a year. The recent decline was a readjustment bringing that growth back to realistic values and growth rates.

Most people buy a home because they want to own their own home; a place that is theirs. But a whole other sector of the population knows and has known for some time, is that homeownership is the single largest creator of wealth for most Americans.

Even if you currently own your home, a down market is the best time to upsize from your current home to a larger, more expensive home. This seems just as contradictory as purchasing stocks when the stock market is down, but we all know that to gain wealth you much buy low. If you own your home, you must sell first to take advantage of the housing bargains out there.

I’ve heard a lot of sellers say that they want to wait to sell until the real estate market turns around. They are reasoning that they will be able to get much more for their home at that point, which may be true, but then they will spend even more to purchase a new home.

Let’s say you loose $5,000 by selling your current home now, but you are able to save $20,000 when you buy a larger home. You have actually saved $15,000. Were you to wait until you did not loose the $5,000 you would be paying $20,000 more for the new home. You have actually lost $20,000.

For most it will require a complete shift in logical thinking, but for those who truly use real estate as an avenue to gain wealth, they know, understand and take advantage of this principle.

So, if you have been considering selling your home in order to purchase a larger home, now is the correct time. Take advantage of this market to gain real estate wealth.
