What Does Warren Buffet Think About Buying A Home?

Warren Buffet is seen by many as the greatest investor of our time. When he speaks, people listen. Like anyone else in his position of influence, he is criticized by some for using his bullhorn to promote his own business agendas at times. That makes it very interesting when we occasionally learn of how he privately advises those closest to him. Learn what he told his secretary.

Home buying more than an investment question Terry Savage A Expert on Personal Finance Anwsers

 Is now the right time to buy a place of my own? As a Realtor... I get asked this All the Time
Terry Savage.. A  nationally known expert on personal finance answers the Question so well and Honestly I just had to post this.

Thanks Terry...

Q. Home prices keep falling and we’ve been waiting to buy our first home. We’ve saved up enough for about a 15 percent down payment. But now we’re beginning to wonder if we should buy at all — or keep renting.

A. Well, you’re right about home prices. The most recent Case-Shiller Home Price Index shows that prices fell 3.1 percent, year over year, compared with January 2010. The 20-city composite index, as of January, has fallen 31.8 percent from its peak in July 2006.

In fact, there’s talk of a “double-dip” housing recession, which would be defined by the Case-Shiller 20-city price index hitting a new low — even lower than the bottom made in April 2009. As of January, the 20-city index was only 1.1 percent above that low point.

The decline in home prices, combined with previous lenient lending standards, has resulted in nearly 25 percent of homeowners having a mortgage that is larger than the current market value of the home. (Keep in mind that nearly one-third of the homes in America are owned free and clear, without a mortgage.)

Congrats to the Tivoli Movie Theatre

'Best Movie Theatre' by the readers of West Suburban Living 3 years in a row

The Tivoli Theatre, located in downtown Downers Grove, was the first Classic Cinemas theatre. The theatre pre-dates Classic Cinemas by 50 years, having opened on Christmas Day 1928 as one of the first theatres in the country built to show “talkies.” Sound continues to be a major focus today, and the Tivoli has Dolby Digital sound and an HPS4000 sound system with the acoustic power of 10 symphony orchestras.
