Purple, Green and Black and Gold
Surely, the rest of the country cannot possibly be having as much fun as New Orleans this weekend. They might getting ready for a couple of days off and even the Super Bowl, but right in the middle of preparations for the Big Game, we have a whole other party starting. Friday kicks off Mardi Gras 2010 in earnest, with 5 parades rolling in the metro area (plus a couple on the North Shore as well). On the West Bank of New Orleans, this Friday is when folks that haven’t seen each other for a year meet up again on the ...
That’s Not a Drag Queen….That’s a Saints Fan!
We like to do things just a little differently here in New Orleans. And one of the things we do best is throw an impromptu parade for just about any reason. For years and years, Buddy Diliberto (affectionately known as Buddy D) was the most prominent local sportscaster. He called the Saints games and reported on sports both on television and radio. The one thing he stuck to his guns on was the fact that the New Orleans Saints were not, and would never be, a good team. Callers to his radio show that would proclaim “this is the year” were ...
What West Bank Home Buyers and Sellers Need to Know About the New FHA Guidelines
This week, David Stevens, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Commissioner, announced policy changes to how FHA loans will be handled later this year. We don’t have specific dates or all of the fine print yet, but here is the gist of the changes: The upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) will be increased from 1.75% to 2.25% of the loan This cost is typically rolled into a home buyer’s loan, increasing the monthly payment. The additional half percent MIP charge will result in negligible changes in payment amounts for most borrowers. This change is expected to go into effect ...
From The West Coast to the Gulf Coast | Your PCS to NAS JRB New Orleans
A little bird recently put a bug in my ear (yeah, I’m know I’m mixing metaphors or whatever you call them) and told me that there are going to be a good number of military relocations from San Diego to NAS JRB New Orleans in the next couple of months. If you are amongst those that leaving behind sun, sand and an ocean view, let me welcome you to New Orleans and to the West Bank. I was recently in San Diego and Newport Beach and I have to say that I was hard pressed to leave. It’s a stunningly beautiful ...
Buyer Etiquette: Dos and Don’ts When Touring Homes for Sale
I met with a seller this week who was upset. Not with me, but with a family that had viewed their home with the kids in tow. Apparently, during the showing no one was watching the 4 year old as she darted from room to room, touching and moving things all along the way. The owners were forced into the role of babysitter to protect their belongings from sticky little fingers because neither the parents nor the agent was paying attention. Unfortunately, this happens all too often. Before you begin your West Bank home ...
