Janesville Wisconsin and Rock County have been hit especially hard by the Recession. The local economy not only reflects the National trend, but was additionally affected by the closing of the Janesville GM Plant, as well as several other plant closings.

But, the last 20 days have shown some marked improvement in Single Family Home Sales:

1. Single Family sales have been more than double in 2009 versus 2008.

2. There have been approximately 39 sales this year versus 19 for 2008.

3. Average Sales prices have actually increased from $123,015 in 2008 to about $130,626 in 2009.

4. Finally, even days on the market improved! From 99 last year to 71 this year.

This is the Most Significant Positive change I have seen all year!

Could we have possibly turned the corner? It might just indicate that prices have bottomed out and are on the rise!

Stay Tuned!

Abandoned by McDonald's

Abandoned by McDonald's. Iceland's economy is now so bad, it can't even support a McDonald's. The owner of the country's three McDonald's restaurants said this week he was closing them all because the collapse of island's currency, the krona, had driven up the cost of importing beef and cheese. Jon Ogmunds son said that to stay in business, he would have to charge about $7.00 for a Big Mac, a price customers are not willing to pay. Iceland nearly went bankrupt last year and the krona lost 50% of it's value against the euro. The Week Magazine.

Another Email Scam

Beware of shop at home scams. I received an e-mail with an offer to get paid for being a secret shopper. This scam used a well known established name and appeared to be sent by an Internet job search. The only problem is, I am not registered at the Internet job search which appeared to send the e-mail.

It was easy to see it was a scam because the reply e-mail address was not for the company on the offer but through a free e-mail server. Major companies do not use free e-mail servers.

To check out these offers, copy and paste the name of the company in a search engine. If the company lists the address and phone number on the contact page but not on the e-mail, it may be a scam. E-mail signatures from major companies will usually contain the contact information.

This particular company included a page on their web site warning about scams and how to avoid them. One of the suggestions listed is, never send money or share financial information via e-mail.

It is usually easy to find Blog sites warning about scams.
