New Year’s Forecast. By Dan Polimino. - 12/28/10 07:51 AM
It’s time to ring in a New Year and for many people, this could mean a lot of things. For me, it always symbolizes a fresh start and a new beginning. I try to shake off the bad from the previous year, learn from my mistakes, and make the next day and next year even better. A New Year in real estate could also mean a lot of things so let’s take a look at what could potentially happen in 2011.
1)  The real estate market is tied to the economy and the economy is tied to jobs. More jobs … (1 comments)

Homebuyers Benefit From Jump In Interest Rates - 12/23/10 04:40 AM
Mortgage rates shot up sharply this week. The benchmark 30 year fixed rate mortgage was at 5% according to one survey of national lenders. The current rates, while still low by historical standards, are at the highest level in seven months. Consumers looking at refinancing an existing mortgage are hearing the wake up call and locking loans. They realize while they may have missed the bottom the smart thing to do is take the money and run, if the numbers justify it.
A savvy first time buyer I have been working with is not concerned about the increase in rates. She correctly analyzed the numbers and found that the difference … (0 comments)

A Sunday Visit. By Dan Polimino. - 12/21/10 08:23 AM
It’s Christmas and as many of my readers know, I don’t like to talk business this week. There are 51 weeks of the year to do that so indulge for me a moment while I tell you a story.
My grandparents would leave Church on Sundays and go over to their friend’s house for a visit. It wasn’t a party, it wasn’t a get together, and it wasn’t planned. In fact, the friends didn’t even know that they were coming. Joe and Mary (my grandparents) would knock on the door and yell through the screen, “anybody home?” Their friends or family … (1 comments)

Is Your Townhouse a Condo? - 12/16/10 06:43 AM
We usually think of a condominium as having other units either above or below and a townhouse as having other units on one or both sides. Appearances can be deceiving. If the legal description says condo, that is what will be used for mortgage purposes. The reason this is important is that the standards are more stringent when the property to be financed is a condo.
To check and see if a project has been approved by HUD go to https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/condlook.cfm. The importance of a condo project being eligible for FHA financing can not be overemphasized. FHA is the most common type of mortgage used for purchasing or refinancing … (2 comments)

We’ve all heard about and seen the low ball offer. In fact, just about every buyer these days says those famous words: “I want a deal.” Some get the unbelievable deals and some don’t.

Let’s take a look at some common strategies that successful low ballers use to get the deal done.
1) Information is power. Low ball buyers do their homework and they get their agent … (3 comments)

The Real Cost Of The Recent Jump In Interest Rates - 12/01/10 06:23 AM
I closed a $222,000 FHA streamline loan for a client last week at 4.25% for a thirty year mortgage. The client had no closing costs and received a generous escrow credit. The loan was locked on November 9. I priced the same loan on Friday, the 26th, and the cost has increased by over $4,100!
I was fortunate that this client was astute. He was smart enough to know that he could not predict interest rates, and looked at the numbers and wisely decided to take the money and run. Of course a borrower could still do a no closing cost loan, but the rate would now be … (1 comments)
