West Palm Beach Homes For Sale

West Palm Beach, Florida - West Palm Beach Homes information today is on Home Ownership. According to the 2010 National Housing Pulse Survey, an annual report released today by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS nearly eight out of 10 respondents believe buying a West Palm Beach Home is a good financial decision. This is despite ongoing challenges with the economy and housing market.

Because of the economy and the Community Reinvestment Act, lower home prices have made it more affordable for those who could not get a Mortgage in the past. In fact, the percentage of renters who are worried that the cost of housing is getting so unaffordable that they will never be able to buy a home has decreased steadily since 2007, from 63 to 57 percent.

The National Association of Realtors’ HouseLogic is a free, comprehensive consumer website about all aspects of homeownership. They recently launched Operation Home Relief which is a new Facebook Causes campaign. This campaign aims to increase awareness, rally support and raise funding for USA Cares, a nonprofit organization that provides counseling and financial foreclosure assistance to post 9-11 active duty U.S. military service personnel, veterans and their families.

HouseLogic will donate $1 to USA Cares every time someone “likes” the Operation Home Relief Cause page on Facebook and will match individual donations made to the cause, up to $20,000.

Our U.S. military service members bravely face danger around the world every day on behalf of us, Americans. Yet, some military service members and their families also face financial dangers and hardships at home. “USA Cares’ sole mission is to help these service members and their families in their time of financial need. Their new Facebook Causes campaign highlights the work USA Cares is doing, reminding Americans of the many challenges faced by U.S. military service members and their families, and generates support via Facebook for the help that we’re offering every day.
Our Military deserves our support if anyone does.
