Let's Get REAL Estate

Hi all!

As we've all heard, things are finally picking up in the economy. In our market (Southeast Florida)...even housing is picking up. One of the best ways to keep and expand the trend is job creation. I think what the Obama administration did in the last two years is finally helping with job creation but it has been slow. I think we were all hoping that the new republican house would concentrate on job creation as they said they would during all of the campaigns...but that has failed to materialize. What is happening now is of concern for the housing market as they are actually considering getting rid of the mortgage interest tax deduction. In my opinion, this is crazy! The deduction has been a major part of wanting to own a home and it should be left alone. Hopefully they will realize that radical cuts in domestic spending will hinder the recovery and especially the housing market which has always been a major economic engine for the country.
