HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year to All!

I love looking back at 2010 to see all the great things that have happened.  The year was filled with ups and downs.  But with every down there must be an up to follow.  I hope that your year was filled with great times spent with family and friends. 

One of the most rewarding things about being a Realtor is being able to meet new people and help them with the buying or selling of a home.  The satisfaction that I feel personally when the right home is found is indescribable. Every time I meet someone new I feel my life has been blessed by their presence.

I hope that 2011 will be just as full at 2010.  I wish everyone the best of luck and may all your dreams and wishes come true!

4 WAYS TENANTS LOSE MONEY

Ah, the joys of renting! No property taxes, no maintenance worries, and the freedom to pack up and move when you feel like it. But let’s be real—renting isn’t always a walk in the park. Despite the perks, many tenants find themselves losing money in ways that could be totally avoided. Yep, we’re talking about those “gotcha!” moments that have you screaming, “I wish I knew this sooner!” So, sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s dive into the three main ways tenants lose money. 1. Skipping the Fine Print on the Lease Imagine this—you’ve just found your dream apartment, and you’re so excited that you barely skim through the lease before signing it. Big mistake. Leases are legally binding documents, and they contain clauses that could cost you big time. For instance, your lease might have an “automatic renewal” clause that keeps you locked in for another term unless you give notice within a specific period. Fail to read this, and you might end up paying for months you didn’t intend t

How Fast are Homes Flying off the Market in 2021? If you’ve looked at homes recently or know someone who has, you’ve likely heard how fast homes are selling. In some areas, it’s not unusual for a home to sell within hours of being listed. But is that the case everywhere and will it continue? Why are Homes Selling so Fast? First, everyone wants to know – why are houses selling so fast, and are we headed for a housing crash again? Experts believe we are NOT headed for a crash. Instead, the main reason houses are selling so fast is there’s a much higher demand than there is inventory. The pandemic changed the way most people think. Previously, people stayed where they were out of obligation to their job or family. The pandemic showed most people that life is too short and most things can be done remotely, which means you could live anywhere you want. Once the official lockdown lifted, it was “game on” with millions of people moving to new areas. With fewer homes for sale than buye

Fannie Mae brings back REO buyer incentives

Fannie Mae is once again offering closing-cost assistance for buyers who close on a home in the mortgage giant's real-estate owned (REO) inventory. Buyers who put in initial offers on or after April 11, and close on the sale of a Fannie Mae HomePath property by June 30, will be eligible to receive up to 3.5 percent in closing-cost assistance. The offer is only good for buyers who intend to occupy the home they are purchasing as their primary residence -- second homes and investor properties are not eligible. Offers submitted before May 15 have the best chance of qualifying, Fannie Mae said , as offers submitted after that "are particularly questionable for closing" by the June 30 deadline. In its most recent annual report to investors , Fannie Mae said it acquired 262,078 homes in 2010, up 80 percent from 2009. REO sales picked up 51 percent, to 185,744, leaving Fannie Mae with REO inventory of 162,489 homes valued at $14.9 billion at the end of the year. The comp
