                      This is a special edition of Real Estate Perspective to 
                      share with you links to important analysis that has 
                      appeared in a few publications recently to assist you in 
                      making the best real estate decisions possible. 
                      
                        
                      
                      The national and international economic problems that grew 
                      after the subprime mortgage debacle appear likely to 
                      continue for some time.  Efforts to solve them are 
                      inhibited by "gridlock" in Washington DC.  Real estate 
                      assets are a major portion of the US 
                      economy.  Substantial numbers of residential and 
                      commercial properties have mortgage balances that exceed 
                      their current values and the prospects for increases in 
                      those values are dim at best.

                      Remarkable that the National Association of Home Builders 
                      seems to believe that even with the problems described 
                      above, a home should always be able to sell for as much as 
                      it costs to build.

                      Commercial mortgages have been reported much less lately.
