Testimonial 

 

I would just like to take this moment to thank you and your staff for all of the wonderful help and support you gave to us on the sale of our home. We knew we had selected the right Agent to get this thing done. By the way, we were surprised to see how close the financial appraisal was to the actual sale price. We would have been in a world of hurt had we kept the price at our earlier levels. Thanks for the sage advice! You have earned every penny of your commission!

Home Prices: It's About Supply & Demand

by The KCM Crew  

 

The real estate market continues to heat up as we head into the summer. Will this increase in demand equate to an increase in home prices? That depends. Remember, the price of any item is determined by the supply of and demand for that item at any point in time. Let's look at the facts as reported by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in this month's Existing Home Sales Report:

  • Demand has strengthened, showing a 10% increase over the same month last year.
  • The supply of homes for sale is down 20.6% from the same time last year.

Because supply is down and demand is up, many believe prices should begin to increase as we finish out 2012 and head into 2013.

7 ways to pounce on low interest rates

By Marcia Passos Duffy * Bankrate.com

 

Taking advantage of low rates

 

While go-go lending was partly to blame for the economy's current financial troubles, ironically, borrowing money may help ease the country out of the downturn. At least that's the thinking behind the Federal Reserve's recent pledge to keep low interest rates through 2014.

 

While this move has not triggered an uptick in consumer confidence, experts agree money probably won't get any cheaper to borrow than right now. At press time, average rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, home equity loans and even 60-month new-car loans are hovering around 4 percent, 6.4 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively, according to Bankrate's weekly survey of interest rates.
