whittier homes for sale: How My Focus Sells Your Whittier Home - 09/16/11 04:31 PM
Here is my marketing strategy for selling a home:  I focus on the two most important places home buyers look when they find the home they are going to buy:  other Realtors® and the Internet.
The National Association of Realtors® annual survey in 2010 showed that buyers find the home they buy mainly from real estate agents and the Internet.
 
 
 
One of the first promotions I will make to sell your home is to the other Realtors® in my office.  Since there are over 100 Whittier Realtors® in the Whittier office, there is a good chance that one of … (5 comments)

whittier homes for sale: Rates Rise from Their All Time Low - How They Affect Your Ability to Afford the Payment - 12/13/10 04:56 PM
According to Freddie Mac, interest rates for home loans reached their all-time lows on November 11, 2010, when the interest rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 4.17%. 
Last Friday, on December 9, 2010, rates rose to 4.61% for that same 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
What does this mean for a home buyer?
Well, first of all, your monthly mortgage payment will be higher.
Secondly, the total amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan will be greater.
Thirdly, you may not be able to afford as much house as you could have back on November 11.
