Colorado Springs idea to save money?

This morning I was watching Fox's local morning show on channel 21.  They reported that the City of Colorado Springs is going to save $50,000. by taking all the trash cans out of the city parks. 

Brilliant.  Good Idea...lets have the messiest parks in the healthiest state.  Not to mention that now you are going to have to hire more people to clean up the parks and have to pay benefits too, just because the parks are full of TRASH. 

This is idea is as good as last years idea to Cancel the 4th of July Fireworks, or not to water the grass in the parks, which you City of Colorado Springs then had to reseed, which I am sure cost more!

Brilliant.

Northwoods subdivision in Woodland Park, Co.

This is a nice subdivision for many reasons.

Meadow Wood Park borders this subdivision to the the west.  At this park is baseball fields, softball fields, soccer fields, swing set, Ice Hockey ring used during the winter, and tennis courts.

The homes in this subdivision were mostly built in the late 70's and throughout the 80's.

The Price range in this neighborhood average around $185,00 to $230,000.  Most of the homes have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 car garage.

The Northern Eastern Teller Fire Department is located just to the east of this subdivision.  Northwoods subdivision is within walking distance to downtown Woodland Park.

What a great day

Yes, it is January 12, 2010.  The Weather outside today was about perfect.  The High had to be in at least 49 degrees.  Pikes Peak covered in snow with a bright blue sky today.  Not a cloud in the sky.

That is one of the reasons I live here.

Report from Fannie Mae

Good News Bad News From RISMedia.com 

Good News is that Foreclosures are selling.  Bad news is more foreclosures are on the way

According to its most recent quarterly report, Fannie Mae acquired 98,428 homes through foreclosure during the first nine months of last year and sold 89,691 REO properties during the same period. However, at the end of September 2009, Fannie Mae still had 72,275 REO properties on its books, marking a 7% increase year-over-year.

Furthermore, Fannie Mae’s monthly summary for November 2009 showed notable growth in seriously delinquent single-family home loans held or guaranteed by the company. Up from 1.89% in November 2008, loans three or more months behind in payments or in the foreclosure process soared to 4.98% in November 2009.

So what does that mean,

That means without growth in jobs, there will be more foreclosures coming on the market.  So please call your local Realtor if you are behind on payments.  If you do not have an agent, call me I will help you find someone that can help.
