This event should really pack them in. With incomes on a 15 year decline, home ownership at a decade low, and a government hellbent of taking evermore the fruits of your labor in order to support a crony capitalistic system, what’s not to like?

I took this course in Lowell a few years back before I bought in Bradford…..it’s excellent believe it or not.
It may be, but it appears the demand for credit worthy borrowers is dwindling. It is also why our government likes to repeat mistakes of the past, they want to loosen credit standards again. Besides, nearly all the demand for housing is in the $750K plus range, not exactly the market for Haverhill.
