With the future of the economy still uncertain, and mortgage default notices being filed at breakneck speed, is there any reason to be optimistic about the real estate market today?

I guess that would all depend on who you are. For investors who can get their hands on some cash, this is a great market to be in. As the pendulum of supply and demand continues to swing higher and higher on the supply side, prices will continue to fall, which equals a great buying opportunity.

And not only that, but as more and more people are being displaced from their homes, the demand for rental property increases. Of course you, as the investor/landlord, will have to relax your rental qualifications some as many will have a foreclosure or default on their credit report.

Overall, it is still an unfortunate situation we find ourselves in. But for those who are able to take advantage of the situation, yet do not, only adds to the level of misfortune. The only way to turn this thing around, and for homes to start appreciating again, is to reduce the supply of inventory.

The third annual Township Jazz Festival is coming to Ridgeland, Mississippi on April 10, 2010 and will take place rain or shine. Not many communities can say they have a true musical legend right in their backyard. There are a few inspiring youngsters from Ridgeland who may be legends one day, too. The Jazz Festival will be held from 12:00pm until 7:00pm in Colony Park in Ridgeland, Mississippi, and will be hosted by Fusion Coffeehouse and Kerioth Corporation.

Look for headliner Mose Allison, a native of Mississippi Delta village of Tippo. This 82 year-old has had his songs covered by Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, The Who, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt and several other mainstays. And now he's promoting his new recording "The Way of the World."

The Township Jazz Festival began in Ridgeland when musicians who began playing at the Fusion quickly started turning out large crowds and overwhelming the small venue. They had no other choice but to look for a larger site. And they got plenty of support from local sponsors.

This is a great opportunity to get out and mingle with your neighbors and other community members. If you'll be in town looking at local Ridgeland, MS real estate or in the surrounding area, drop by the festival with your lawn chair and blanket. It will give you a good sense of how welcome you'll feel when you move to town.
