Mortgage Rates to Fall Further: 7 Things to Know

Here's what you need to know about the Fed's surprise attack on the housing crisis. And you thought 5 percent was a good rate? After already bringing mortgage rates down near 50-year lows, Fed Chief Ben Bernanke unleashed a surprise attack on the housing slump Wednesday by announcing aggressive steps that should make home loans even more attractive. Lower rates, of course, can help push timid buyers off the sidelines so they can mop up the excess inventory that's been driving down home prices. "This is a huge step forward," Ian Shepherdson of High Frequency Economics, wrote in a report shortly after the announcement. Here's what you need to know about the development: 1. What is the Fed doing? With the federal funds target rate--which is the Fed's conventional monetary policy weapon--already down to as low as zero percent, Bernanke has been forced to get more creative in his efforts to resolve the economic mess. To that end, the Fed announced two key st...

Real Estate Outlook: Balancing the News

Sometimes bad economic news comes at you so hard and fast that you forget to notice some of the more encouraging trends that may be underway, like super low mortgage rates, record-setting affordability, new tax credits, and big sales increases in the boom-to-bust real estate markets of Florida, California and Nevada. Now, this is not to brush aside or minimize any of last week's sobering national economic news. Consumer confidence is way down and it's a serious psychological impediment to home buying. Rising unemployment is scary. And the fact remains, someone won't consider buying if they are afraid of losing their job. And of course shaky banks and big losses on Wall Street are all part of the same worrisome picture. There are, however, some genuinely positive developments out there. Let's start with housing affordability. What will ultimately get the turnaround ball rolling will be the ability of ordinary consumers, in large numbers, to afford to buy a home with thei...

How to keep from Leaving $8000 at the Closing Table

1. Who can get the tax credit ? If you are a first-time home buyer purchasing a new home or a resale-you are eligible for the tax credit. The purchase must take place on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009 to qualify for the tax credit . As it applies to the tax credit, the purchase date is the date when the home closes and the title to the property transfers to the home owner. 2. What is the definition of a first-time home buyer? The tax credit law defines a "first-time home buyer" as a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase. If you are married, both spouses cannot have owned a home. For example, if you didn't own a home but your spouse did, you do not qualify. For unmarried purchasers, the credit amount can be given to any buyer who qualifies as a first-time buyer, for instance, if a parent jointly purchases a home with a son or daughter. If you owned a vacation home or rental property not use...

7 More Great Reasons Realtors Should Blog

1) It makes you think - It becomes really easy, as a Realtor to become an information "lemming." You hear something about the market at a meeting and next thing you know, you are parroting it to your clients. Investing the time to actually WRITE about the market encourages new thought. You gather the data, and You create the information. 2) It makes you different, and different = better - One of the marketing theories I have been espousing over many years is how important differentiation is to Realtors. Realtors do what Realtors do. Do you? Don't. Create your own marketing that is different than other Realtors and writing your own original blog sets you apart as well. You need to stand out in a crowd. Blogging will help. 3) Blogs get Read by other Realtors- and they comment. This gives you feedback, often valuable constructive feed back on your ideas. It allows you to wash your ideas through others so by the time you give your VALUED opinion to your clients. it is well t...

Know your credit score.....

.....What your credit rating can say about you! What is a credit score and a credit report? Your credit score is simply a snapshot of your credit use. It's a brief overview of seven years of your borrowing history. Your credit report is the detailed rundown of your borrowing habits. Credit reports are provided by three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. How is a credit score calculated? A credit score is a value assigned to several criteria used in making lending decisions. Criteria include the amount you owe on non-mortgage related accounts such as credit cards, your payment history, and credit history. Scorers take this information from your credit report and plug it into formulas that calculate a value representing the amount of risk you pose to a lender. That value takes into account the track record of other consumers with similar credit profiles. By looking at this value, or score, lenders are able to roughly gage whether it's a good idea to extend...
