Tips on real estate, home maintenance, and great violin music
With the Federal Tax Credit expired, mortgage interest rates at their all time low, values down 20-80% off the peak and a pent up demand for housing, just where is this market going? If I knew the answer, I’d be Warren Buffet and even his crystal ball is in the shop…
My best guess, is that with the numbers of defaults continuing, especially on loans over $1Million, we have not seen the end of the housing collapse; which makes this, an ideal time to buy! Many buyers are paying less for a mortgage than they are for rent. Most of that is because of low rates. When I bought my first home, the rate was 8.87%…and that was a good rate. Believe it or not, there are many markets which are still entertaining multiple offers.
The time to buy is not when the economy is surging upward, rather it is when blood is running in the streets.

Opportunity knocks. Solid 3 bedroom, 2 bath cosmetic fixer tucked away from it all. Excellent pocket of homes in central location, close to freeways, shopping and BART. Hardwood floors, 2 car garage, private lot. Why rent?

In recent months, I have experienced a relaxing of appraisals on single family homes. Earlier this year, it was like pulling teeth to get an appraisal through and now with Obama getting touch with banks, we may see Real Estate transactions boosted.
Condominiums and Townhomes can still present a challenge as there are new bank guidelines which scrutinize Homeowner Associations to the gnat’s eyelash.
