NBC wants news

Earlier today, I received a call from an NBC Nightly News producer. He was looking for a Realtor whose business has increased since the recent mortgage interest rate cuts. He wanted to interview me and clients of mine who are now hot on the trail to buy a new home since rates have gone down.

Problem: most of my buyer clients are still too scared to make a move right now, regardless of the low interest rates. The one couple I have that are eager to buy now 1) has already written an offer on a short sale and 2) are leaving for a month in India tomorrow.

I'm hoping that my buyer clients will feel differently after the new year -- these rates are pretty spectacular. I'm also hoping that housing inventory will rise -- right now, if a home in my area is priced well, it sells right away.

On another topic, how about this old-school NBC logo?

Rumor Mill: NBC Going to NOHO???

We're just saying. An insider emails: "The NBC studios in Burbank will be relocating to NOHO and their studios' site will be placed on the market." Rumor confirmation and development ideas for the soon to be vacant Burbank studios welcome.
UPDATE, 4:19 PM PST: A second trusted insider emails us confirming the rumor: "It's true." Good news for Los Angeles and all the tax revenue to be generated. Maybe the City can finally afford to build some more subways and stuff.
UPDATE, 5:26 PM PST: More info on where in NOHO/Universal City the NBC project will go here.
