2009 Outlook for my Buyers, Investors, and Sellers

Dear Buyers, Investors, and Sellers;

I hope this finds you and your family well this holiday season. As we close
out 2008 I wanted to take just a moment to thank you for making this unusual
year in Real Estate a successful one for USMILHOMES.com. As we kick off
2009, I wanted to give you some food for thought.

In case you had not heard, on Tuesday the Federal Reserve lowered its key
interest rate to 0.25% -- the lowest level ever "MSN". Several banks have
announced they are lowering their rate to 3.25% in light of the Fed's
decision. Typically the prime rate is 3 percentage points higher than the
fed funds rate "CNN MONEY". This will trickle down into mortgage rates
soon resulting in historic low mortgage rates.

For you as a homeowner or an investor this means the time to buy is now. If
you are not in the market to buy you should at least consider refinancing
your current mortgage at a lower rate. In the words of Donald Trump, "Buy,
Buy, Buy, now is the time to Buy" House prices are at there lowest and the
fed just cut the rates. Pool your money, borrow from your family talk to
your accountant, whatever it takes, get in the game now!"
Take a minute to give me a call, I am available discuss an approach that
makes sense for you. Together we can make 2009 the year you move form
working for your money to the year you start making your money work for you!

I look forward to hearing form you soon.

Sincerely,

Brady Howard, Broker Associate

For Sellers in the Real Estate Market

2008 has not been very kind. We experienced falling home values and turmoil in the financial lending that turned the Real Estate market on its ear.

The positive light at the end of the year is the current lending conditions
are looking better. For buyers the opportunities to buy are wide open. As
for sellers, I advise you look at the big picture and remember that even
though you feel like your losing on your current home sale, you stand to
make up the difference and more on the buying side of the transaction.
If your moving up in price range you will most likely be in a much better
equity position than you are now, and with interest rates at the lowest
level in history, you really can't go wrong if you have at least a 3 to 5
year time line.

Give me a call and let me help show you how you can still come out on top in
a down market!
