When Will the Recession Be Over?

I walked into Garelick and Herbs the other day and a woman came up to me who had recognized me from my ads. We do not know each other but she asked me "Are we at the bottom yet?" I wish I could have answered her. As I thought about the question for several days, I read The Sunday Opinion page in yesterday's New York Times where 11 experts were asked the question " When will the recession be over"
I thought that the answer that James Grant gave was as good as any other as he relayed a story of a broker responding to a pestering client during the 1974 recession. The broker responded "When you stop asking". He concluded by saying "Today's low prices, painful though they may be, are the market's own shovel-ready stimulus. Before you know it, the stock market, and the residential real estate market, too, will be on their way back up again - just don't ask when."

5 SMARTEST HOME FIXES

Barbara Corcoran had some great advice on the Today Show this morning regarding some small things to do to your home to help you sell it in today's market. She likens it to finding a date (no sexism intended) but she says if there are 500 men out there and only 50 women, you really have to dress yourself up to make you stand out.

The five quick fixes are:
Fix up the Front Yard
Change your Main Entrance
Install New Windows
Move the Laundry Upstairs
Put in a Stainless Steel Refrigerator
