Home Price Report

Your Guy for That Friday, August 26th, 2011 No Comments

August 2011 - For the first time in a year, home prices are up year-over-year and month-over-month. This marks only the fourth time that prices have increased since June 2006. Home prices rebounded 8.9% in June with median home prices rising to $184,300. This is 0.8% above the year-ago level. Median home prices remain close to 2003–2004 levels. The combination of low prices and historically low interest rates means that home affordability is extremely favorable.

Guaranteed Low Interest Rates

Your Guy for That Thursday, August 25th, 2011 No Comments

The Federal Reserve made an unusual promise earlier this month as it committed to keep the Fed Funds Rate near zero until early 2013 in hopes of stimulating the economy and housing market.  This is an unprecedented move and one that should give home buyers a longer window in which to buy with low rates.  What a great news for anyone thinking of buying a home in the next 18 months!  In addition, phenomenal refinance opportunities abound and present a great opportunity for home owners to lower their rate.   There are a lot of reasons to refinance right now including the following:

Lower your rate and payment with a 30 year fixed rate in the low 4’s
Reduce your loan term with a 15 year fixed in the mid 3’s and a 10 year fixed in the low 3’s
Take advantage of the lowest payme… Continue Reading Guaranteed Low Interest Rates

August 2011 Market Update

Your Guy for That Friday, August 19th, 2011 No Comments

The U.S. housing market has shown increased stability in home sales during 2011 compared to the previous year. Home prices are up 18% since their low in February. Signs of recovery remain mixed in the economy—employment and GDP came in less than expected while the strong points were in consumer confidence and new home starts.
The debt ceiling has been raised without any drastic changes to occur immediately. Although this prevents a sudden shock to a weakening recovery, over the next year and a half, experts anticipate considerable changes in how the government spends and collects money. The uncertainty of what is to come and how it will impact various industries will likely cause some to play on the safe side. The good news is that the government remains solvent and will be able to pay i… Continue Reading August 2011 Market Update
