Mortgage rates break all records

garyandlisa — Fri, 04 May 2012 00:47:13 +0000

Interest rates on fixed-rate mortgages broke all-time record lows, Freddie Mac said today, announcing the results of its weekly mortgage survey.

30-year fixed-rate mortgages: The average 30-year home loan was 3.84%. Borrowers paid an average 0.8 point (a point is 1% of the loan amount). That’s down by 0.04 of a percentage point from last week. This week last year, 30-year rates averaged 4.71%.

15-year fixed-rate mortgages: Borrowers scored an average rate of 3.07% on 15-year loans, paying 0.7 point. That’s a 0.05 drop from last week. This time last year 15-year rates averaged 3.89%.

Ventura real estate market hit bottom in 2009

garyandlisa — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:28:13 +0000

Have you been waiting to buy a house?? Not sure if we’ve hit the bottom yet? According to the latest statistics for Ventura, the bottom was in 2009 and now the trend is steadily heading back up! This could explain the crazy demand we are seeing in the under $450K price range. For example, we made an offer for a client on Friday and by Monday there were 16 offers over the asking price. It does matter who you work with because we were able to secure that property for our client! There is another property above the college in Ventura that came on the market last week, has 12 offers and it going out $40,000 over the asking price.

Have you been waiting to sell your house because you didn’t want to sell at the bottom of the market? Now is the time! If you own a property in Ventura County that is worth up to $450K, we can sell it for you quickly and easily. We have many fully qualifed buyers just waiting for a property to come on the market that they can actually buy without all the multiple offers.

Are you underwater on your property and don’t know what your options are? You may be surprised to know you do have choices. We have the experience and the tools to put you on the road to recovery! You may still have equity in your home….let us explain. The tax relief is set to expire at the end of 2012. If there is any chance you might need to short sale your home, DON’T WAIT. There is no guarantee the tax relief will be extended beyond 2012. It can take 6-9 months to get a short sale approved. NOW IS THE TIME TO LIST your property!

When you have real estate needs and you want professional and experienced representation, call us. Who you choose to entrust your largest asset transaction to can make all the difference in your future.

garyandlisa — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:18:43 +0000

Taxes are complicated, but some rules are simple. Respect these three rules, and you’ll reduce the chance of coming to grief with the Internal Revenue Service.

1. Keep business and personal affairs separate

2. Keep good records

3. Respect and keep those 1099s
