The Cat's Out of the Bag..... Most of you have heard the phrase, "The cat's out of the bag".... Or maybe not.  Anyway, it is an old saying meaning that the Secret is out!   This morning, I drove over to Sound Ace Hardware in Emerald Isle, NC to buy Tanner's New Tiger Cub uniform.  First of all, let me tell you that they have everything you could possibly need for your Boy Scout of America, and then some.  From uniforms, patches, sliders & hats to camping gear, campfire games, books and more! As I was checking out, I asked, "Where's Ace"?  You see, they have a shop cat that lives inside the store and he can almost always be seen. The phrase "The Cat's Out of the Bag" certainly does not pertain to Ace!  This morning the cat was in the bag..... Sleeping! The adorable and intelligent "Ace" ...

Home equity is essential to the economic recovery of our nation because it is the key to the health and growth of small business. "The long term driver of the US economy has always been small business.," Lawrence Yun stated in his keynote address to the North Carolina Association of Realtors at The Greenbriar, WV on September 11, 2011. Small businesses do not get their capital on Wall Street with IPOs. Small business is funded with the equity value in homes. Remember a few small business that have grown to power America, Microsoft, Apple, FedEx and even GE.   See my other blog posts with Lawrence Yun videos from the North Carolina Real Estate Convention at the Greenbrier 2011 New home sales at a 40 year low!

According to Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, new home sales are at a 40 year low. On September 11, 2011, Mr. Yun spoke at the North Carolina Association of Realtors Convention at The Greenbrier. He says that builders aren't building for two reasons: 1. They don't want to build in some of the more depressed markets because they cannot make money and 2. They cannot get construction financing. All this is creating "pent up demand." See my other blog posts with Lawrence Yun videos from the North Carolina Real Estate Convention at the Greenbrier 2011 New home sales at a 40 year low!
