Just watched President Obama's address to the joint session of Congress.  While there was really no new information for home buyers and home owners, there was reassurance that his mortgage crisis plan will help otherwise responsible home owners struggling to make payments - and not speculators or people who intentionally bought over their heads.  And again, he promised more details in the coming weeks.

It's clear that this was a speech as much to the American people as it was to Congressional leaders.  There's been a lot of concern and frustration over the stimulus plan and the mortgage relief plan over the last few weeks.  Just check out some of these posts:

• Comments from real estate professionals and consumers with their opinions of mortgage relief plan
• Consumer frustrations surrounding messaging that "it's always a good time to buy"
• More frustrations around who may be to blame for the housing crisis

With all of the uncertainty around the stimulus and mortgage crisis plan, there's some great information for buyers and home owners on Trulia Voices:

• Top 21 questions for first-time home buyers regarding the $8,000 tax credit
• Who will qualify for the home buyer tax credit
• Families that already lost homes in foreclosure won't get assistance in the new plan

We'll keep you posted about the details coming in the next week!  In the meantime, let us know what you think about the Obama address to Congress.
