Dear , I would like to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving! The recent terror attacks around the globe put a little damper on the beginning of the Holiday Season but I'm going to enjoy it regardless of how dangerous the world is becoming. I think I'll have a special glass of wine on Thursday and toast to the beginning of a delightful Christmas Season in Greenville!

I have a new email address and website which I hope you will update in your contacts if I'm fortunate enough to reside there! The new site is www.GreenvilleBuyersAgent.com. Please check it out and send me an email with a little constructive criticism. I hope you enjoy this month's newsletter and I hope you will forward it to your friends, family, and colleagues who may be thinking about buying a home in the Upstate. All my best, Keith (420-0262)

November Market Update  

The number of transactions at the time I wrote this newsletter had surpassed the previous record of 10,388 which was set in 2006. We will finish the year with more than 11,000 closed transactions in 2015 and I expect the market to remain steady in  2016 with just a few less transactions as interest rates begin to rise. (if they ever do) I apologize for the abbreviated stats this month as the Association did not publish two of the regular statistics this month.

MCLEAN, VA-(Nov 19, 2015) - Freddie Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing average fixed mortgage rates largely unchanged as analyst expectation turned from world events to the Federal Open Market Committee's October minutes.

The 30-year (FRM) averaged 3.97 percent with an average 0.6 point for the week ending November 19, 2015, down from last week when it averaged 3.98 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 3.99 percent. 
The 15-year FRM this week averaged 3.18 percent with an average 0.5 point, down from last week when it averaged 3.20 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 3.17 percent.  

Review the Survey  

You should have received your tax notice some time during the middle of November and my guess is your property taxes went up! Greenville County reassessed every piece of real property in the county this year and since values have increased during the past four years it's likely that your home went up in value too. It's too late to file an appeal this year but if you would like additional information of the millage rates or the Assessor's Office click on the links below.

Developing a powerful negotiating strategy can mean the difference in thousands of dollars in your next home purchase. Listing agents often price homes based on one over priced comparable that sold in the neighborhood. The Buyer's Broker of Greenville performs a Right Price Analysis of the property based on the predominate value in the neighborhood. Then we investigate the target property's history, condition, and seller motivation. When our due diligence is completed, we'll help you develop a powerful negotiating strategy designed to accomplish your home buying objectives.
