Unlike last year, the residential real estate market kicked off 2020 with a bang! In their latest Monthly Mortgage Monitor, Black Knight proclaimed: “The housing market is heating entering 2020 and recent rate declines could continue that trend, a sharp contrast to the strong cooling that was seen at this same time last year.” Zillow revealed they’re also seeing a robust beginning to the year. Jeff Tucker, Zillow Economist, said: "Our first look at 2020 data suggests that we could see the most competitive home shopping season in years, as buyers are already competing over…homes for sale.” Buying demand is very strong. The latest Showing Index from ShowingTime reported a 20.2% year-over-year increase in purchaser traffic across the country, the sixth consecutive month of nationwide gr... 03/04/2020

Our dinner conversation this evening was reminiscing on what Halloween was to us as kids, and what we used to do to scare ourselves.  My group used to seek out abandoned homes, or barns, in the surrounding MD countryside, and we would explore, attics and basements included.  This would get the blood going in this thirteen year old, as empty basements are scary, even in the middle of the afternoon! Afterwards, I started thinking about the same feeling, which I still get when previewing empty homes for prospects.  There is still the surge of adrenalin, as each room holds the unknown, until you see that it is just another empty bedroom with carpet that is a little scary!  But at least twice this year, I have truly left homes with the hairs up on the back of my neck.  One because I just got... 10/31/2011

PURCHASE AND REHAB YOUR HOME IN VALRICO FLORIDA WITH THE FHA 203(K) LOAN - Most home buyers are turned off at the sight or even thought of buying a fixer-upper; a foreclosure or an older home today. However, educated and informed home buyers are utilizing the FHA 203(k) loan to buy their new home and fix it up with no additional out-of-pocket expense. The FHA 203(k) loan is a tool that savvy home buyers, successful contractors, Realtors and mortgage originators have been using since 1978. An FHA 203(k) loan is very similar to the traditional FHA loan. The only real difference is that with the FHA 203(k) loan, the home buyer is adding money to their mortgage balance to finance-in any repair/improvement cost. Whereas the traditional FHA loan requires that certain repairs be done before th... 10/03/2011
