“Counter-Attack:  Business Strategies for Explosive Growth in the New Economy”

Debuts at #2 in the site’s Direct Marketing Category

Rehoboth Beach, DE.  Dustin and Mariya Oldfather, one of the top sales teams at Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty, recently joined a select group of America’s leading entrepreneurs and businesspeople to collaborate and co-write the business and marketing book titled, “Counter-Attack: Business Strategies for Explosive Growth in the New Economy.”  Celebrity Press™, founded by JW Dicks, Esq. and Nick Nanton, Esq, is a business book publisher that publishes books from thought leaders around the world.

The book, released on Thursday, January 27, 2011, features lessons that business owners can use to fight against declining revenues and learn the secrets of success in the new economy.  On the day of release, Counter Attack reached best-seller status in two Amazon.com categories: Marketing and Direct Marketing.

“The book provides strategies on working within the parameters of the new economy: how to become profitable and stay profitable in an increasingly competitive environment,” said Dustin Oldfather.  “We thoroughly enjoyed working with the other book’s contributors and are delighted with its initial success.” The Oldfathers have been part of the Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty since 2008 and have consistently been one of the brokerage’s top-performing teams.

I'm often asked if this is a good time to buy a home. Some clients are concerned that home prices may fall further than they have already. They are assuming that the best course of action is to wait for the bottom in the market and then buy. The problem with this approach is that you don't know where the bottom is until you see it in the rear view mirror, meaning until you've missed it!

Home prices are one factor in determining your cost of ownership, but so are interest rates and financing availability. Even though interest rates have gone up in the last six months, they are still near historic lows. Since your monthly mortgage payment is a combination of paying down your principal and paying the interest owed, if home prices come down a little further but interest rates up, it could cost you even more to service a mortgage on an identical home!

While a home is a major investment, it is also the center of your personal life. It's important to live in a home that reflects your taste and values, yet is within your financial "comfort zone." To that end, it may be more important to lock in today's relatively low interest rates and low home prices, rather than to hope for a further break in prices in the future.

Please give me a call if I can be of any assistance in determining how much home you can afford in today's market.
