		<title>News &amp; Notes, June 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this issue, Part 2 of How To Buy A Home continues the process of learning what to do before you go house hunting.  Too many buyers waste time and money by not having the right plan, and the right agent.

The Dawn of Green, Had Better Dawn on Us! This article is a heads up for what's coming in the not too distant future...our grand kids are going to want something more than Granite counter tops.  And those little darlin's, now eight or nine years old, are going to be the Green Savvy buyers of the future.  Learn what these kids will want when they come to buy your home in twenty short years.

Rumors about HUD allowing the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit to be used up front with FHA loans are proving to be unreliable.  Probably too much risk for abuse.

Although some movement in the bond market, and a rumored reduction of the paper value of  US debt is causing some up movement on interest rates, they continue to be ludicrously low. Anyone complaining about anything under 6% need only to look back a few years when an 8% loan was thought to be fabulously low!  Buy now, if you can, by all means buy now.
