short sale specialist: Ventura County Mortgage Rate UpDate #TimeToBuy #ChrisBJohnsonRealtor - 04/28/17 05:56 PM
Weekly Mortgage Rate Update Over the past week, mortgage rates were influenced mainly by events in Europe. The outcome of Sunday's French election was bad for mortgage rates, while Thursday's European Central Bank meeting was mildly positive. The U.S. economic data had little impact. Mortgage rates ended the week a little higher.

short sale specialist: Real Estate Mogul: Here’s Why You Should Buy #TimeToBuy - 04/26/17 08:46 PM
Real Estate mogul, Sean Conlon, host of The Deed: Chicago on CNBC, was recently asked the question, should you buy? Or should you rent a house?
Conlon responded:
“I am a true believer that you save every penny and you buy your first house… and that is still the fastest path to wealth in this country.”
Conlon went on to suggest that first-time buyers put down 10-20% “if they can make it work,” and to remain in their home at least 4-5 years to see a return on their investment.
Who is Sean Conlon, and why should you listen to his advice? Within a few years … (0 comments)

short sale specialist: Be aware of the #RentalTrap! #ChrisBJohnsonRealtor - 04/24/17 12:53 PM
There are many benefits to homeownership. One of the top benefits is being able to protect yourself from rising rents by locking in your housing cost for the life of your mortgage.
Don’t Become Trapped  Jonathan Smoke, Chief Economist at realtor.com, reported on what he calls a “Rental Affordability Crisis.” He warns that,
“Low rental vacancies and a lack of new rental construction are pushing up rents, and we expect that they’ll outpace home price appreciation in the year ahead.”
In the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University's 2016 State of the Nation’s Housing Report, they revealed that “The number of cost-burdened households rose to 21.3 million. Even more troubling, the number with severe burdens … (0 comments)

short sale specialist: Measuring Your Ability to Achieve the American Dream - 04/19/17 10:48 AM
Forbes.com recently released the results of their new American Dream Index, in which they measure “the prosperity of the middle class, and…examine which states best support the American Dream.”
The monthly index measures several different economic factors, including goods-producing employment, personal and commercial bankruptcies, building permits, startup activity, unemployment insurance claims, labor force participation, and layoffs.
The national index score was rounded out to 100 in January and saw a modest jump to 100.5 in February.
Alaska represented the lowest score on the index at 80.7, due mostly to the recent collapse in oil prices. Nevada came in with the highest score at 108.8, boosted … (0 comments)

Mortgage rates are tumbling now and they're approaching record-low levels," said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com. "If you're a borrower, don't wait to lock your rate as this opportunity may not last long."
The Brexit could also indirectly benefit other borrowers if the Fed holds off on raising the central bank's key benchmark interest rate. When that rate goes up, it can raise short-term borrowing costs for banks, … (0 comments)

It could be said the words "Canada" and "health care" really don't go together because some Canadians never make it to the doctor.
Too many die untreated due to extended wait times to see a doctor, and those wait times have increased again this year.
