House Porn

I feel like no one is reading because everyone is focused on the Texas primary. Still, because homes interest me more than politics, I pose these questions: (1) Does anyone know who coined the phrase “House Porn”? (2) Does it really matter who wins the Texas Democratric primary tomorrow as far as the housing market is concerned? I have a very smart friend who tells me the best thing we can do is elect someone who won’t pay attention to business… so that business can do just fine. I have a Barak Obama sign in my front yard because Christine is supporting him, I like Ron Paul because he’s an OB/GYN (and Trey Garrison is supporting him) but John McCain has the best home of all…

    I, too, am tired of the political blah blah. The home experts that I have spoken with don’t think it will matter who wins the White House as far as the housing market goes. They do think potential changes in the capital gains tax this fall will affect the housing market (at least in the higher price ranges).
    You can bet we’ll be watching for that outcome.
