		<title>Waterfront Vacation Properties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While some of the hottest oceanfront and lakefront resorts have seen declines in value, these areas are very limited.

		<title>Time to Buy a Vacation Home?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay. This has been an ongoing question for two years, and the verdict is still out. The economy is in severe flux, and most of us haven't experienced these types of ups and downs combined with no clear indicators of the future. Right now, the market is rebounding or is at the top of a bear rally. Who knows?

In turn, many more foreclosures could be in the pipeline.

You can take that as a warning that every time the market/economy improves, the cost of gas, food, and energy will go up, and drag things right back down again. You can watch the value of crude oil go up with every twitch in the market. That's why it's imperative that we change our energy sources immediately.]]></description>

		<title>Are Insurance Companies Breaking The Economy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve become a nation with an insurance-poor economy, or worse, an insurance raped economy. One of the largest contributing factors to our broken economy was the combination of banking and insurance, which had been separated since the Great Depression due to the role that combination played back then. But, it&#8217;s greater than that. In fact, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Have Some Areas Already Hit Bottom?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s tough to say, but some of the most recent data in my neck of the woods suggest we have. Up here on the Maine/New Hampshire border, we&#8217;re in vacationland.
