But don't pass judgment on this book until you finish reading it. Overall, it's a pretty good book. However, it bounces around from topic to topic, often without a clear, visible direction."

Stretching Your Dollars When Buying a Brand New Home

: "Before Carol Smith ordered a custom-built house three years ago, her first step was to write out a 'wish list' of features she wanted.

Marin Independent Journal - News - Marin: "Mike Metcalfe, a general contractor who lives in Mill Valley, has been looking for an investment property in Novato for six months, attending dozens of open houses and touring 10 homes before putting in an offer on a fixer-upper Saturday.
Metcalfe says the real estate market is changing.
'I've noticed that homes are staying on the market longer and prices are coming down,' he said.
That trend may be seasonal or it might be the beginning of t,he long-awaited 'flattening' of the market that some analysts have predicted.

When more than 40 percent of homes are under contract, it is considered a sellers' market, according to Patti Cohn, a real estate broker with Frank Howard Allen Realtors in Novato."

Mortgage Abuses Targeted

DenverPost.com - BUSINESS: "Mortgage brokers doing business in Colorado should register with the state and post $100,000 bonds, Colorado's top regulatory agency recommends, citing recurring broker abuses.
The recommendations from the Department of Regulatory Agencies are an about-face from 2001, when the regulators said registration wasn't needed.
