In tragic accident/personal injury related news, an accident on a slush-covered I-78 in Berks County, leaves a Philadelphia man dead Friday morning. Eighteen year-old, Jonathan Medina was traveling west on I-78 in Greenwich Township when he passed a tractor-trailer driven by Richard Custer Jr., 59, of Jonestown.

Medina, lost control of the vehicle, and the car spun around three times as it traveled back into the left lane. Police report the tractor-trailer in question swerved to the left as Richard Custer applied his brakes hard. Sadly enouph for all involved in this tragedy, the truck in question struck the front, left of the vehicle and pushed it more than three hundred feet into the median barrier before riding over it! By the way if you live in or near Philadelphia and need a great Philadelphia personal injury lawyer then might I recommend the law offices of  Mark Rosenberg. Simply put, he is a top notch Pennsylvania Attorney as well as leading Philadelphia personal injury lawyer. Alright now back to the article at hand: Medina was then taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Custer, who was wearing a seat belt, did not suffer personal injury, police said.

Meanwhile, in related news, in Philadelphia, 2 police officers were killed and some 59 other folks have been injured as a result of police pursuits this year. Charles H. Ramsey, Police Commissioner, has stated that the department’s pursuit policy needs some adjustments. it is possible that the District lawyer may even get involved in this one, although that much is only my humble personal opinion….Philadelphia’s original 1994 policy, allows pursuits to grab someone suspected of committing a violent felony, or a suspect with a deadly weapon who used or intends to use it to cause personal injury, and to recover a hot vehicle under certain specific circumstances.

All in all, this may be a good time to obtain Kauai real estate, although the timing might go against conventional wisdom.
This may be at first glance appear somewhat surprising to some of you based on the real estate market and the bad economic outlook. After all, some people try to time the markets (particularly if they tend to be professional investors) and make their transaction at the peak or valley of the cycle in question.
And yet, according to the report, you often do not know when that exact moment really is until after the fact. This is also known as Monday morning quarterbacking……
All in all, the county of Kauai is now experiencing one of the better real estate markets in a while now. By the way The Kauai Board of Realtors is a nonprofit organization comprised of some seven hundred different Realtors,
Regarding  Selection: There are currently over 600 residences for sale on Kauai starting with a “Sugar Shack for $245,000”. There are approximately 550 condominiums for sale according to the Hawaii Information Multiple Listing Service starting with a “Lihue Townhouse for $160,000”.
With regards to location, the primary attribute of real estate, With the price of some properties dipping throughout Kauai, you may be able to purchase a residence in a neighborhood or project that was previously out of your price range. Perhaps you want to move to a different school district or closer to your work, there is Kauai real estate available to meet that custom need.
In general, Kauai has a large selection of “2nd-homes” and when money becomes tight, luxuries like boats, planes and second-homes are the first items folks sell to unburden their financial commitments and free up cash.
When broadly comparing the hawaii real estate market with those in various mainland states like California or Nevada, the hawaii market in general and the Kauai real estate market in particular has remained relatively solid. The State of Hawaii ranks in the middle of the US in terms of foreclosures. The median residential home price has remained fairly constant. The types of loans that have created chaos on the economy are less prevalent in Hawai‘i
 This depth and breadth of choices gives you a wide number of options when trying to find your dream home or investment property.
Of course there are other important reasons driving the real estate trends on a national level: A downturn of the stock market is forcing many investors to seek other investments, real estate, and forthcoming inflation will most likely send real estate prices higher in the long term. Paper assets are often less sound than solid, tangible real estate when high inflation comes into the picture.
