ISSUES TO WATCH: 2009
• May be the lowest mortgage rates in our lifetime
• Can the government get Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac working again?
• Housing starts bottom at lowest level since WWII• Home sales volume could decline 5-10% again in
2009 due to high level of uncertainty
• Oil and Gas prices • The economy is likely to hit bottom before the
end of the year; a rising stock market will be the signal
• Thousands of families will buy homes in 2009• Government intervention is quickly becoming
a problem and not a solution

entity authority to enforce uniform standards among ALL appraisal districts in Texas
• Support legislation that changes how an effective tax rate is calculated to ensure no new revenue is realized by local taxing jurisdictions when local property values increase
• ABR hearings: uniformity, consistency, and transparency
• Bexar County: Consumer report and media campaign
