This cannot be good.

When you look around certain areas,

you can practically see a house for sale

on every street.

For me I am glad that we are not trying

to sell our house right now, as it probably

would not be easy.

I heard that even some of those nice

Martha Stewart homes over in Cary, NC

are having trouble selling.

People are just not sure of what the treu

value of real estate is these days.

People can’t get a mortgage because

nobody is lending money (what did

the banks do with all that rescue money).

Also, people who are self-employed,

which is alot of us in this state, have to

jump through extra hoops with the bank

these days. Far more than a few years

ago.

You would think now that things are

stabilizing in the gov’t that all this

would be getting better and improving.

It is almost as in North Carolina is

lagging behind the rest of the country.

The only place we are not lagging behind

is South Carolina, as their unemployment

is worth than ours.  That in itself is not

a good fact, becuase the economies of

NC and SC tend to run hand in hand as

a general rule.

I am wondering what the gov’t is planning

to do next, specifically to help the South

out of its lull.
