Mortgage Interest Rates Fall This Week - 03:15 PM

autoupdating mortgage rates widget

Mortgage rates fell this week. 30 Year mortgages fell from 6.13 to 5.87. 15 Year rates fell from 5.6 to 5.27. It looks like lenders are trying to stay away from ARMS due to the heavy losses they are taking from ARM's from foreclosures. Although rates did not fall as much as the .75 points the FED cut the discount rate by last week but its encouraging that rates did fall somewhat as the last few FED cuts in 2008 failed to push mortgage rates down.

It's A Buyer's Market in Silicon Valley: Why Won't The Seller Take Your Offer? - 01:17 PM
Home buyers are surprised when they make an offer and it is rejected or countered high. After all, this is a buyer's market in Silicon Valley, isn't it? Shouldn't the sellers be thankful that there's an offer at all? Shouldn't they just take any offer they get?That's how a lot of buyers view the "lay of the land". But even if only one in five homes is selling in Los Gatos, those homeowners do not want to feel like they are "giving away the home". And they'll tell you so.Buyers want a bargain and sellers want top dollar. Somewhere in between, … (0 comments)

A lot of people use Blogger because it's easy to get started and use, it's supported by Google and most importantly, it's free.However, when using it in it's standard form, you will reference it with a generic domain name, such as "myname.blogspot.com"  (blogspot.com, being the general domain name for Blogger.)If you want to publish and access your Blogger blog by a unique domain name, it's relatively easy to do.  It will require you to have a registered domain name, or you can purchase one through Blogger's Dashboard setup facility.  To begin, you need to log into Blogger, select "Dashboard" and "Settings" for your blog, then … (5 comments)

      My father dutifully filled baskets and hid them when we were little...one was always in the milk chute (a first time buyer asked me what that hole in the wall with a door was the other day..) one behind the chair and my sister's always in the bath tub.  My Dad would have been 87 on Easter Sunday,...I was with him every day for the last 3 months of his life...most of it spent in intensive care trying to battle the devasting effects of a staff infection and guilliam barre syndrome.  I miss him every day....but holidays are especially … (3 comments)

Mesa Gateway Plans - New Vision for Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Arizona - 11:38 PM
Tourists have discovered our Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Located in the southeast valley in Mesa, close to Gilbert, Queen Creek, Apache Junction and Gold Canyon, it has become "the" airport for more than 100,000 passengers in just the past three months. 70 percent of these passengers were visitors to the Valley. Carrier Allegiant Air studied the routes since startup and determined only 24 to 25 percent traveling out of Gateway are Arizona residents.I've written about the airport before, and am excited to see that it is becoming a convenient hub to fly into town. Phoenix Sky Harbor is so busy, that it … (19 comments)

Google Is The New MLS, Part 1 - 12:20 PM
I recently reread a post I published June 16, 2004 stating that 70% of home buyers began their search on the internet. That percentage has increased to 80% according to the 2007 National Association of Realtors Profile of Homebuyers and Sellers.
In 2004, the tech-savvy buyer began their search on Realtor.com. Today, due to the plethora of listings syndicated on multiple sites all over the internet, all someone has to do is type an address in Google and up pops the listing. This trend is sure to increase as a new site advertising listings pops up every day.To impress the importance of … (3 comments)
