buyers market: Does holiday shopping include houses in 2013 for Sacramento?? - 12/11/13 05:26 AM
Recently, i've had a lot of sellers (or potential sellers) asking me about the current state of the market in Sacramento and how things are effected by the holiday season of Thanksgiving/Hanukkah/Christmas/New Years.  Last year (2012) the market was so hot that it just powered right through the holiday season and didn't even blink about the cold weather or all of the festivities.  The market went up from Jan 2012 all the way through September 2013.  Since then, things have slowed down.  There's a bit more inventory, a bit less buyers and sellers are having to compete with each other more.

buyers market: Mortgage Rates are at Record lows This Month - 09/22/11 04:29 PM
Here’s a recent article from the LA Times talking about the new record lows for interest rates this month.  I recently had a client lock into a 3.75% interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage.  They are quite happy to say the least.  It’s almost shocking to see how low rates are right now.  I can guarantee one day we will be looking back on this economy and just be amazed by how low rates got.  Who remembers when rates were at 15%??
