Yom Kippur message from Town Hall | Bedford Real Estate

Dear Bedford Residents,

Members of the Jewish community throughout the Town of Bedford in our three hamlets will gather to observe Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement and culmination of the High Holy Days.

This important holy day is an opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed and plan for the year ahead.

During this time of reflection, it is my hope that  we all can recommit to creating a better, more peaceful, and secure future for all.

To all those observing I extend my warmest wishes for a meaningful day of prayer and contemplation.

Gmar Chatima Tova.

You Know It’s a Tough Market When Ben Bernanke Can’t Refinance | Mt Kisco Real Estate

Ben S. Bernanke, former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Ben S. Bernanke said the mortgage market is so tight that even he is having a hard time refinancing his own home loan.

The former Federal Reserve chairman, speaking at a conference in Chicago yesterday, told moderator Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics Inc. — “just between the two of us” — that “I recently tried to refinance my mortgage and I was unsuccessful in doing so.”

When the audience laughed, Bernanke said, “I’m not making that up.”

“I think it’s entirely possible” that lenders “may have gone a little bit too far on mortgage credit conditions,” he said.

Bernanke, addressing a conference of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing and Care in Chicago yesterday, said that the first-time home buyer market is “not what it should be” as the economy in general strengthens.

“The housing area is one area where regulation has not yet got it right,” Bernanke said. “I think the tightness of mortgage credit, lending is still probably excessive.”
