$1.94 here and falling!!

I was excited to see $2.09 today! YIPPEE!

$1.99 here. But, I am still hanging up the real estate license on December 31, 2008. I live 50 miles from a major market so not only is it hard to sell houses, but I drive around for a $50 bpo.

I am addicted to this site though. I love BPOs! If I lived in a city where I could take pictures within a 10 miles of home and be a taximom, I would stay doing this. But, not in this one horse town. It is the good life in NE though. I will be a stay at home mom until the right job comes along. I guess I can afford to drive to work now.

I don't have deep enough pockets to wait for the turn in real estate. Our average sale price is $99,000, but I have only sold a few over that. Lately, it has been alot of $40,000 homes that are selling. Not much commission in that!

Hope you can get back into RE one of these days, Cowie cause I think you're gonna miss it. Have you looked into freelance writing? Maybe you could write about real estate!

Gas is at $1.82/gal here. BPOs are picking up a little - yeah!! And no, we do not have the volume that so many of you do, but I am still thankful for what we do have.

Keep driving your fuel sippers and leave the SUV at home and watch gas hit .75/gal. It's a no brainer. Huge amounts of people are broke, losing their jobs and 401k money left and right, and are conserving or just can't afford to drive...period. They're not spending money in general, which is why the whole economy is in a tailspin. Forget about a recession, depression is the new buzzword latey.

According to gaspricewatch.com, the cheapest gas found in the US today is in Newton,IA $1.65/gal.

1.59 in Strongville Ohio!!

I feel so guilty...but I bought gas yesterday for 1.59. Heading to Ohio for the week to enjoy some down time with the family. Not leaving today cuz who wants to drive through Columbus with The Ohio State University game at noon playing Michigan. Everyone comes out of the woodwork for that one. Traffic is a nightmare!
Cowie-best of luck to you. I think you will be gaining a great job as a stay at home mom. Don't be a stranger!!

1.69 in Minneapolis

1.59 Detroit

In ole' St Lou.....filled up for $1.47 today.. we better enjoy it while we can. it wont last long.

Wow, you guys have some super cheap gas. I was overjoyed to pay $2.19 today! When I bought my car gas was over $5 (May)

Oh Cake!!! You need to come here. $1.95/gal and falling daily. Even at the "expensive" gas stations, $2.05/gal. We never, ever got to $5.00.

Does the term gouging mean anything?

This is my first year doing BPO's through the holiday season. Does anyone know if some of these companies will still be assigning orders tomorrow.

Do any of them ever assign orders on the weekends?
