I am speaking a couple times at Cambridge Lutheran Church tomorrow and I am talking about the Challenge to Live a Spiritual Life. One of the main things to know is that we are sustained by the Love of God. In the introduction to the Course In Miracles it mentions that one of the aims of the course is removing the blocks to the awareness of loves presence. Lets look at this for a few minutes.
One of the questions we get is will the real estate market bubble burst? Some people are kept from buying because they think the market is going down soon or will crash. I do think it will eventually have some sort of correcting but when you hear what I share in this you will realize that it will likely be a long time before that happens.
I recently just finished my first read through of the Course in Miracles. Much of it builds upon itself and repeats itself in a similiar way which I need because I am not mister reading comprehesion. The book ends talking about the opportunity to make another choice, make a better choice when it comes to temptation.
In the course in miracles sacrifice is for the guilty and the sinful. The course in miracles is about love, forgiveness and giving.
Recently on episode #25 we talked about what you should offer on a home? This one we will cover the same topic, but talk about what likely will not work for an offer and look at a specific scenario.
You can certainly build a new home instead of buying an existing home. This video points out that there is normally not a scenario where a new home is lower cost then buying an existing home. The upside of a new home is that it is NEW and then you wont have maintenance due right away and some existing homes may have work to do on them soon after buying. There are many reasons to buy a new home but it is not likely that the purchase price will be a lower cost.
Happy Valentines Day! One of our main purposes is to give out love! Giving love and forgiveness is something we are supposed to be doing all the time. Today and each day do this to as many people as you can.
This is always a great question and it really depends on the listing and how it is priced. Not every home is overpriced. Some are underpriced. Homes still get multiple offers. We help you pinpoint what we think it will go for and help you with what makes sense to offer based on the property.
The Super Bowl was a tight game that for segments of the game it looked like the 49ers had it, and then the Chiefs had it, then maybe the 49ers again and finally the Chiefs pulled it out. In Real Estate some closings for a property sale can seem like a rollercoaster. So when is a good time to celebrate the sale?
Its Super Bowl Sunday and its a big sports day. I have always been a big sports fan. What does the course in miracles say about sports, if anything?
Sharing an example of a home search I set up for an acreage home search in a 5 county area and only 18 listings came up for under $400,000. And some of those had accepted offers on it. Thus, often you have to start with an in town home and then work your way into an acreage property.
Overall miracle update on the couple medical procedures I had. First on my eye surgery it is a miracle that I dont need a prescription for my vision. On my hearts its such a miracle to me that they can go in there and correct the heart issues how they do. I am back playing basketball and getting my legs under me! These two things are definately are a testimony to miracles.

If you are in a position where if you bought a home and your vehicle suddenly went down that you would be in trouble financial then it would be recommended to wait to buy a home. Work on your finances and budget and get better positioned to buy a property.
The market is shifting toward multiple offers on the listings that are staged and dialed in for showings. These listings are also the ones that are priced slightly agressively. Multiple offers do not happen on the overpriced listings and listings that are not showing really really well, but overall this is a shift in what I think a lot of people were thinking would happen with the market.
There is a better way of doing things. Especially if your going through strife, chaos and struggles. There is a different way to look at things to move your towards the better way of doing things.
The things that can keep you from buying are home are simple things like getting a loan pre approval. Or if you need to sell a home to buy then it may be getting your home ready for sale, so you can buy a home once your home has sold. When a buyer said the interest rates are whats keeping them from buying. At this point the rates are what they are so this is not really a reason. It just says you are not familiar with the real estate market. On those things we can help you by holding your hand and guiding you through the process.
How much do you desire peace over endless strife? Endless chasing of the idols outside of ourself leads to the endless strife. Happiness comes from realizing God is within. The practice of shifting this what I am working on with this practice. You are not likely going to be perfect but realize that God is in everything and move away from strife toward peace.
Its February 1 and we have no snow on the ground in many of the areas in Minnesota which is very rare. So how does this effect real estate? Certainly it makes it easier to view homes. However, we have low inventory again so even that more people likely are in the market to buy there is not enough inventory to create a big upswing in home sales.
