            <title>Buyer Urgency Shows the Time to Buy Is Now</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Homebuyers are looking at the
current home prices and low mortgage interest rates and seeing an urgency to
buy now. The growing fear is that these prices and rates won't last forever.

Fannie Mae Housing Market Survey showed that 73 percent actually feel this way,
according to the March 2012 survey. This is a 70 percent increase since just
February 2012.

            <title>Warren Buffet's Latest Take on Real Estate</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Warren Buffet is a billionaire whose words demand the attention  of others. In a recent interview on CNBC Squawk Box, he was quoted as saying, &quot;I'd  Buy Up 'A Couple Hundred Thousand' Single-Family Homes If I Could&quot;, calling  them very captivating investments in the current housing market.

            <title>Beach Home Word Cloud</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
What's a word cloud, you might ask? It's a clever arrangement of words where the size of each word varies with its frequency in a given amount of text. For example, if you take all the words in the property descriptions of the beach homes that sold in the first quarter of 2012, certain words will appear with greater frequency than others. The more frequent the word, the larger its size.&nbsp;
