Stimulus Plan Aids Buyers of High-Priced Homes
Sometimes it’s hard for me to imagine what folks in Arkansas think when they read about mortgage problems here in California. This past weekend the New York Times did a story on what the new conforming loan limits will mean to Californians.
The article mentions a Tiburon family (currently living in a condo) that will benefit if the price of money drops. If all goes well they’ll be able to afford what will more than likely be a million dollar home in Marin. I’m sure every Arkansan (I used to live there, and yes the do call themselves Arkansans) feels bad for folks struggling to buy million dollar homes.
The story does a decent job of painting the housing situation, but it’s interesting to see how the rest of the country might be getting an up close and personal look at the mortgage mess here in the Bay Area.
