Happily, the sales in this market have gone well.  I have noticed a lessening of this market so I am hoping that the worst is over and confidence is restoring.  The lowering of the interest rates I believe are going to stimulate the market.  This could be THE  time to invest in that home you have been waiting to purchase.  The combination of low sales costs and the lower interest rates make it the time to buy.  Sincerely,  Steve Voss Remax Realty Center stevevoss@remax.net  www.stevevoss.remax.com  www.activerain.com/trainstar1  920-342-0900  12/16/2008

I am hard pressed to find a City that has grown as fast as Watertown, and at the same time it has maintained this wonderful small town culture and feeling. When I was younger we could go to Mullens Dairy Bar and you can pretty much think how nice that was. Lots of the same little restaurants and establishments are very visible. Watertown Wisconsin is located in southeastern  Wisconsin and is nestled along the shores of the beautiful Rock River, Watertown is picture perfect for residents and visitors alike.

Six Simple Steps to Ensure a Smooth Home Purchase Buying a home can be an emotional, time-consuming, and complex process. There are a few things that you can do to help make the process go as smooth as possible: 1. Check your credit.Before you apply for a home loan, regardless of your credit, it's a smart idea to obtain a copy of your credit report from the three major credit bureaus and review the information. If there are errors or things that need to be addressed, it's easier to address them before you have found a house, than after you have found a house and are trying to close your loan. If you know that there are a few blemishes on your credit, let your lender know what they are, why they are there, and why you are a still good credit risk.
