Are you using “Bad Math?”

HomeWorthBlog.com, one of the RE/MAX AdvisorsWest sister sites, has a re-post of an interesting article from RealtyTimes.com.

The columnist, Kenneth Harney, provides an insightful answer to the question: “Is it a housing bust or a media-driven panic?”

If the media hype has caused you to re-think your real estate investments, check out this article.

Marsh Halberg of Halberg Criminal Defense loves living in Carver County.

Nathan Dao, State Farm Insurance Agent in Chanhassen, loves living in Carver County.

Mary Welch loves living in Carver County. But as Executive Director of the Chaska Land Trust, Mary also helps others buy a home in Chaska and Carver County.

What is a land trust? According to Mary’s web site:

A community land trust (CLT) is a non-profit corporation created to provide secure, affordable access to land and housing for community members, attempting to meet the needs of those least served by the prevailing market.

A community land trust helps lower income people own homes on land that is leased from the land trust through long-term (99-year), renewable ground leases.

Governmental and private grants further subsidize homes on the ‘front end’ thereby “locking in” the benefit of these subsidies one homeowner after another.

This innovative service is worth looking into if you think buying a home is out of reach for you.
