Sacramento Economy

Last week’s show was great (www.InLoveWithSacto.com). As always, I started talking to Ed “The Money Man” Wacaster (I gave him the nickname, but so far, he hasn’t complained!) Ed knows a lot about lending. So much so, that I feel really positive about sending any and all buyers his way…even if they just have questions or want to talk about a loan modification. Ed rocks. And, one thing I really like, especially with clients all over Sacto County, is that Ed is pretty darn mobile. Makes it easy to buy a house when you have a lender who not only hooks you up with the best rates, but can also come to you for the paperwork! You can call Ed at: 530-798-1400.

I also got a chance to speak with Brad Asbury with the Access College Foundation. Brad helps parents figure out how to fund their kids’ college education, but moreover, he’s filled to the brim with knowledge about how to get into private colleges, and things I never even considered. Listen to all he said, especially if you’ve got kids in school in Sacramento,  grade school up–hey, even younger if you plan on sending them to Harvard! You can call Brad at 916-607-3104.

If you are interested in the Sacramento Economy though, you MUST listen to my talk with Howard Blum. Howard is the Who’s Who in economics if you ask me. His resume and list of related accomplishments are longer than my cat’s tail and what makes it great is that he breaks down all the gibberish into language we can understand. Did I mention that Howard’s interest rate predictions and opinions on the economy have been seen on television in more than 200 countries??? So, he might know a thing or two, right?

Howard’s words were music to my ears. The one thing that stood out to me is that he indicated the Sacramento real estate market has hit bottom! Did you hear that? Hit bottom! Howard says that anyone who buys Sacramento real estate right now, will be smiling ear-to-ear later on. He says that home prices won’t get any lower, which explains the buying frenzy we’re seeing right now. Additionally, Howard has a fresh and passionate take on California politics that’s well worth the listen. (www.InLoveWithSacto.com). Visit Howard’s website for a ton of great related info: http://econonews.net.

Hearing what Howard had to say confirmed my belief that now is the time to buy real estate in Sacramento, and it gives me even more confidence in helping buyers be sure it’s a smart time to invest. Ah, it’s good to be right

Listen to the show and let me know what you think. As always, your opinion, Sacramento residents, is what matters most. If you or someone you know has something inspiring or educational to share with our community, shoot me an email and we’ll have you on the show.

Ta ta for now!
