Was waitin’ ’till later, but you the man, Kam. As I mentioned on Bloodhound Blog earlier today, I’ve been a Bernanke guy from the get go. He’s done exactly what he said he would, and had to make up some new plays on the way.

Thanks for the link too, Kam.

Lenders have better be lending by spring 2009. Due to Ben Bernanke’s statements yesterday Jim Cramer is not only bullish on the Fed he now predicts a “once in a lifetime in residential real estate buying, investing, and refinance” by Spring 2009: http://www.cnbc.com/id/28264766

Old enough to be your Papa? Works for me. Thanks for the cool words, Chris. Much appreciated.

‘Papa’ is another issue altogether.

BG – I’m seeing value buys in SFHs. Multis are over-valued in this current market here in KC…at least as a general rule.

My guess is, and this is based on indicators and buzz, I think this Spring will bring a solid bounce. I’m not saying it will last through the rest of the year so you other readers don’t need to jump me.

But I’m predicting a pretty healthy Spring, sales wise. JoCo will of course be the first to grow a little faster. And there are other healthy spots. Stay out of the urban core of KC if you want investments that will grow.

Do you have any expectations for your market this spring?

Padres are the warm weather Royals. Can’t top that.

KC, of course, remains strong. An ever so slight softening of the rents in certain parts of town. But overall, we are weathering this storm quite nicely.

Padres? I like’m. Kinda like the Royals in warmer weather, right?

And I love the post. It’s something I’ve talked about for a while. The market is correcting itself as far as homeowner percentage goes. Renters are not bad people. They just should not be owning homes. Whether that be for financial or lifestyle reasons.
