Those who think government should get out of housing matters don't really understand the bigger picture (I'm hearing political overtones too, LOL) it takes government to stimulate the industry and it's not just RE, influence run through durable goods, labor, raw materials, shipping and the financial industry, you pull the pug and the whole economy is at risk of going down the drain.

Because the Feds didn't increase the borrowing rate this week in order stimulate the housing market, one would expect an uptick in home buying this Spring.

That and to stimulate conversation on the topic.

The EconomyHow does he stimulate the economy?

Also as we moved up to larger properties where value was determined by the income of the property versus appraised values  we found that to be more stimulating.

I think the best method that works is a little of both visual and mental stimulation.

I was just in Tokyo this past winter and can confidently say you might enjoy the break from the crowds and stimulations of Tokyo for SF.

Get something more visually stimulating, like a one-piece with a double flush European button on top or a sleek Japanese design like a Toto Aquia.3.

I told them in my ad I would be sending my buyers list the auction forclosures every month so I hope that stimulates some to make the call.

Hopefully, I've stimulated thoughts of some other possibilities.Kelvin
