Where has Ruth gone? I’ve bookmarked this post checking back to see if Ruth or someone had given an update on how the speech was and what Obama actually addressed…but nothing! If anyone went or anyone heard about it I’d really appreciate the pass on.

Obama really does draw in the crowds and the media. Being from the UK the chances I have of ever seeing or meeting him are very slim. You guys are lucky too have him as president i know he will do a good job.**bob fast´s last blog post..Mortgage Lenders Face Repossession

Wow, good thing you guys have mild winters there, or all those people in line through the night would freeze! I will have to be content with hearing about the speeches.**Meg Zoller-Houston Realtor´s last blog post..Houston Real Estate Reaps Benefits of Statewide Population Growth

As a Realtor that has been personally and professionally affected by the Foreclosure – Short Sale – (lacking) Loan Modifications, etc. I will be paying very close attention to what he has to say…. I have my two questions ready if by the grace of God I have the opportunity to ask.

Although from NJ, I spent a lot of the last 6 years in Ft. Myers, FLA. I love Ft. Myers and Obama visited the area nearly 2 weeks ago now. Hopefully Fox News is kinder to Phoenix than they were to Ft. Myers. As Obama was speaking the Fox News stamp on the TV was “Ft. Myers…America’s most depressed market”….and that wasn’t the end of it..they basically made us look like we were everything short of hell!! Good luck with the media. Hopefully you don’t get any Henrietta Hughes in Phonix. Hopefully you didn’t miss that!

I got in line at 2:30am – was #463 in line and I got my ticket to hear President Obama on Wed.
For those looking to BUY a ticket… Not going to happen, the tickets were free, illegal to sell and they took our names, addresses, phone number and ticket number – all of which will be matched up with our ID’s when we go on Wed.

I think all Obama has to do is give a good speech, and give buyers a reason to be optimistic. We all know that there's no amount of government intervention that can fix the market over night, but if the President went on TV and said now is the time to buy a lot of folks would run out and buy- the ones that are currently afraid to make a move.**Jeremy Linder´s last blog post..Top 10 States for Foreclosures: Oregon at #5

Gotta love the Valley of the Sun. Even tho it’s been un-sunny lately, how could you NOT love a town where people are standing outside for hours, on Feb 16, in shirtsleeves and light jackets?

Russ S – don’t know what’s happening in Montana, but here in metro Phoenix foreclosure properties are leading our recovery. Sales volume is way up, thanks to buyers who are thinking long term things WILL be better. Our problem is that prices keep plunging. In many neighborhoods prices are way below what should have been a reasonable, affordable ‘bottom’ (think $30 to $50 per square foot!). A few minor incentives from the feds would be most welcome hereabouts.
