Good morning. Who says houses aren’t moving in LA? I just saw one moving up the freeway.

But seriously folks... News item: Countrywide will dispatch 7,000 ‘home loan consultants’ to open houses around the country beginning this weekend in a campaign it is calling ‘America’s Open House.’

From the Countrywide press release: ‘Countrywide’s sales team will join forces with local real estate agents at weekend open houses to educate home buyers about the basics of the real estate market and give them the tools they need to shop for a home.’

More: ‘’With housing prices lower in many parts of the country and still-low interest rates, we are clearly in a buyer’s market,’ said Dan Hanson, managing director of Countrywide Home Loans. ‘Our hope is to make it easy for people who’ve been on the sidelines to go out, look at open houses, and understand their home loan options.’’
