the gardner team: Fall Fabulosity - Five ideas to freshen up your home - 09/13/11 02:37 PM
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad. ~Edwin Way Teale
Autumn Decorating Ideas …. Continued:

1. For a fragrant treat, fill a ceramic bowl or a wood or wicker basket with oranges, lemons,pine-cones, nuts, and pieces of evergreen. Place the container just inside the front door for a special welcome home.

2. Decorate a wreath for your front door with clusters of berries, ornamental grasses, and other fall finds. Purchase a wreath form at a local crafts store, then simply attach the berries and … (1 comments)

the gardner team: Interest Rates Inch Down - 06/01/10 02:54 AM

Rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages were near record lows this week as instability in financial markets overseas had investors seeking safety in bonds and mortgage-backed securities, Freddie Mac said in releasing the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
Rates were headed back up today, however, as renewed confidence in markets had investors moving funds back into riskier investments.
Freddie Mac's survey showed rates on conventional, conforming 30-year fixed-rate loans averaging 4.78 percent with an average of 0.7 point for the week ending May 27, down from 4.84 percent a week ago. That's the lowest rate since the 4.71 percent … (6 comments)

the gardner team: Short Sale Options for Sherwood Area Home Sellers - 04/04/10 11:29 AM

According to CNN Money, banks are ramping up short sales thanks to government incentives and the realization that short sales result in lower losses than foreclosures. On average, banks lose 50 percent on a foreclosure, but only 30 percent on a short sale. 
The hang-up for many short sellers has been second liens, but the new government program gives first lien holders incentives to share and offers second lien holders and investors a $6,000 cash incentive.  Under the new program lenders must tell the seller the minimum they'll accept. When the seller comes back with a good offer, it must … (0 comments)

the gardner team: Buyers Purchasing Power NOW At An ALL Time High - 03/07/10 12:49 AM

With only 55 days left to take advantage of the tax credits, here's something very important to think about...
If interest rates increase by one-half point from the current rate, as has been predicted by many economists, a buyer with a loan amount of $200,000 will lose approximately $11,000 in purchasing power. Furthermore, if a buyer does not act prior to the expiration of the tax credit, that's an additional loss of purchasing power ($8,000 for first time buyers; $6,500 for repeat buyers). In other words, if a first time buyer takes advantage of CURRENT interest rates AND the $8,000 tax … (3 comments)

We've all been there, wishing we could be a fly on the wall or wondering what people are thinking.  While we're not phychic and nor do we have a crystal ball, we can tell you that we do our homework and have an understanding of what home-buyers are thinking when it comes to their motivation in purchasing a home.  Thanks to detailed studies recently conducted by the National Association of Realtors, we're going to answer that question for you...

Search all Sherwood and PDX area homes and land at www.SherwoodHomes.com
Annually the National Association of REALTORS® surveys home buyers and sellers in an effort to gather detailed information about the home buying and selling process.  One section of the 2009 report provided some interesting data on first-time home-buyers.  In 2009, first-time home-buyers hit an all time record high with more buyers being first time buyers than in previous years.   Shocking?  Not really, especially due to the surge brought on by the very successful $8,000 First-Time Home-Buyer tax credit first set to expire in November, 2009 - now extended through April 30th, 2010 with a generous expansion to include a $6,500 credit to Repeat/Move-up … (3 comments)

the gardner team: 2010 Said to be the "Year of the First Time Home Buyer" - 03/01/10 04:28 AM

According to the Chinese calendar, 2010 is the Year of the Tiger. But in real estate, 2010 may come to be known as the "Year of the First-Time Home Buyer."
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com, says there will be 1.84 million homes sold to first-time home buyers in 2010, compared with 1.73 million in 2009.
These buyers will invariably make some mistakes that they will come to regret a few years down the road, some experts say, including failing to use a real estate professional to help them manage the transaction.  Real estate professionals have the time and … (3 comments)
