One of the primary objectives of owning a home is to let the home appreciate over time and become a pillar of a family’s financial strength.
But before we can discuss “wealth”, we need to identify the stages to get there.
Stage 1
Having “Emergency Cash” is the first stage. It’s having $5-7,000 liquid for life’s inconveniences (the boiler breaking down, the car needing work, etc). When faced with the inevitable challenges that arise, many people are forced to run to their credit cards to make it through. They become stuck with high interest rate, non-tax deductible borrowing.

It’s Not About Foreclosures. It’s About Pricing!
Here's an article I read from Steve Harney. I hope you find it as interesting as I did. KD
Many of our readers question why I spend as much time as I do on the foreclosure situation in the country. I want everyone to know that it is NOT an obsession with depressing news. I strongly believe that the wave of distressed properties (foreclosures and short sales) coming to market will dramatically impact house values for the rest of 2010 and probably 2011. I want to make sure that every seller and buyer remains on top of this issue so that they can best evaluate the options for themselves and their families. I hope every real estate professional understands the issue well enough to simply and effectively communicate the effect it will have on their customers’ decisions.

Pricing a House in Today’s Real Estate Market
by Steve Harney on March 25, 2010 in Pricing
A question that I am often asked is how you correctly price a home in today’s rapidly evolving market. The word that comes to my mind first when thinking about pricing is compelling. If you are looking to sell a home anytime this year, I believe you must make the price so compelling that a buyer cannot pass it up.
The reason I feel so strongly on this point is because I believe house prices will continue to fall throughout this year and perhaps well into 2011. Why do I feel this way? Let’s break it down...
