Suburban Chicago real estate promo spree hits hard times
In Wheeling and Bolingbrook a string of lavish incentives tempts buyers with free upgrades, a new car, and cheap financing as analysts note housing market distress. Economists say existing home sales fell nearly 10 percent in February to a nine year low, with distressed properties making up forty percent of those sales. New home sales are forecast near 250,000 for the year, the worst since the Kennedy era.

Girl Scouts Try GoPayment Card Readers for Cookies
In Northeast Ohio about 200 troops test credit card sales via GoPayment attached to smartphones, a move to boost cookie buys as cash use declines. The system, offered by Intuit, charges 1.7 percent plus 15 cents per sale for the lowest rate, with customers typically paying 2.7 percent. The plan could roll out to all 2,700 troops locally and beyond, aligning with a broader mobile payment trend that gained momentum after Square.
