The cost of oil is driving up the price of everything. It is costing the trucking companies to drastically increase the price to deliver products because of their fuel costs. In other words the cost of food in our markets have sky rocketed. It has hurt the construction trade because of the cost of materials has increased for the contractors and because of the state of the economy it makes it tougher to afford new construction. This has also effected us personally because we are Realtors who have two fantastic pieces of property on the market, one on 3.9 acres in Carlisle and a piece of property sub-divided into 3 build able house lots in Westford. Builders are hesitant to buy because of the cost of materials, would they be able to recoup? This coupled with the rise in foreclosures have this country in a bit of a state of emergency. Somewhere, somehow something has to give and we hope it happens sooner than later.
As we are waking up this morning we are hearing that the postal service is in trouble because of the price of fuel. Now this sounds like another increase in postage is on tap soon. When will this all end? Everyone is affected some way or another.
