From the White House to a red brick house, President Bush buys a home

The Dallas Morning News reported on the home President Bush has purchased in the Dallas neighborhood of Preston Hollow.

The home is reported as being 8,500 square feet and sitting on 1.1 acres. Had President Bush decided to buy a home in Central Florida, he would have been able to select from 28 homes with similar living space and land size.

The homes President Bush could have viewed here in Central Florida have list prices starting just over $1 million up to over $9 million.

Too many homes were built - President Bush

President Bush responding to questions in Virginia about the economy was quoted as saying;

"Well, what happened was, they overbuilt -- or we overbuilt -- built too many homes relative to the number of buyers."

President Bush predicted the housing market will remain soft until the excess inventory is gone.

President Bush comments on the housing market

President Bush briefly discussed his view of the housing market's condition in his weekly radio address.

"Yet there have been some recent signs that our economy is beginning to improve. While the housing market is continuing to experience difficulty, the decline in home sales has leveled off recently, and sales are rising in some parts of the country."

Here in Florida we certainly hope that those who want or need to sell or buy a home will be able to do so in the months to come with less difficulty and stress.

We hope the $7500 tax credit will be of value to first time home buyers and that the new government mortgage assistance for home owners affected by the mortgage mess will allow those home owners to stay in their homes. Eliminating the over supply of inventory by assisting people with staying in their homes will also work towards helping those who need to put their home on the market.

New law may save your house

A new law signed by President Bush that will go into effect on October 1, 2008 was created to assist homeowners struggling to pay their mortgage.

According to HUD's website, homeowners having trouble paying their house payments should contact the appropriate counseling agency. The contact information is:
  • HUD.gov
  • HOPE NOW Alliance at (888) 995-HOPE
  • FHA 800-CALL-FHA

The program is designed to slow the rate of foreclosures in hopes of stabilizing the country's housing market.

How does President Bush pick a real estate agent?

President Bush was caught on video discussing in part, his need for a home after his term ends. He mentioned that Mrs. Bush was in the Dallas area trying to buy a house.

Here are the questions that come to mind.

  • How did they find their real estate agent?
  • Will they be looking at homes that are bank owned or contingent upon a short sale?
  • Will they make a low ball offer?

I wish The Bush family would blog about their house buying experience. That would be interesting.
