Millions of people have been making predictions about 2012, ever since the Mayans ruled Central America.  Hollywood even made a movie about it!   So Kathy figured she would take a stab at it with a focus on real estate investing.

On this episode, Kathy explains why:

>> Interest rates will remain low
>> The US economy will grow by 2-3%
>> The number of first-time home buyers will increase
>> The stock market will hold steady
>> Oil prices will spike
>> Food costs will spike
>> Foreign investors will buy up more real estate
>> Rents will continue to rise
>> Apartments will be in demand
>> Home Construction will Increase

In Summary – things will look rosey in 2012 in preparation for elections.  Good economic news will fuel job growth, and more jobs will fuel home sales.  Expect price increases on housing (albeit quite small).  Jan-April of 2012 will be an optimum time to buy in order to avoid the buying frenzy expected in Spring and Summer.
