Every Sunday evening, you can find me watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition.  Each week some deserving family receives a new or newly renovated home.  I have been known to shed a tear or two when the bus driver moves that bus.

A few weeks ago while I was perusing the Asbury Park Press, I came across a story titled is 'Extreme Makeover' house for sale?  The story was about the Marrero family in Pennsauken, NJ.  The family received a brand new 3,000 square foot home that was built on donated land.  The family also received $60,000 in cash to help with uitlities and other bills. 

It appears that the house which is almost 3 times the size of the old house is an energy hog.  The father still is on a fixed income.  So once the bus has moved on out of the state, the recipients were left with huge tax & utility bills.  If a family could not afford to maintain a 1,000 square foot home how do you expect them to  maintain a 3,000 square foot home? 

As a result, a number of the recipients of these donated homes have considered selling.  Pennsauken, Philadelphia, Atlanta and there may be others.  ABC gets great ratings and we get to feel good for one hour per week.  But are we really helping the families?  Is this show a blessing or a curse?

What Should I DO??

Everyone wants to know if we have hit the bottom of the real estate market.  No one knows.  Real estate is cyclical & regional.  I always tell my clients not to try and time the market, but to buy or sell to meet their needs.  I also tell my clients to look at real estate as a long term investment (minimum 5 years).  So no matter what the market looks like, it is the right time to buy for some, it is the right time to sell for others and the time to hold for the rest of the folks.
