Buy Down the Interest Rate, Don't Lower the Sales Price - 11/21/10 05:59 PM
Don't Lower the Sales Price, Buy Down the Interest Rate
  Instead of lowering the sale price of a home, the seller can offer to pay for a buydown of the interest rate for the borrower on a temporary basis over the first several years of the loan.
  A temporary buydown allows a lower interest rate on a mortgage for a fixed period of time at the beginning of the mortgage term. Temporary buydowns are not a type of mortgage, but rather a temporary interest rate reduction option that can be used with most types of mortgages.

Why Is There a Drop In Inventory This Holiday Season - 11/21/10 05:47 PM
I know that seasonally we see a drop in inventory, but why is there a drop in inventory during this Holiday season.   The period of just before Thanksgiving and on tell after New Year is the most sever.  In Orange County California we are seeing a 2 percent drop in the last two weeks.  That drop equates to about 274 homes.  However, we are seeing a weakening of the market, because sellers have either given up or do not want to try to sell their homes in this climate.  Inventories have dropped Since September by 741 homes or 6 percent.

What is Going to Happen Now - 11/07/10 06:58 PM
Interest rates are held down and the new Republicans in Congress are going to tow the line on spending.  That can lead to new confidence in our small businesses and they may start to hire.  As that begins to acure consumer confidence will begin to rise.  Individuals will feel better about their employment and if that is the case they will note the low prices and the low interest rates.  They will then be free to go forward and purchase a home.
If you think that is nuts and you are here in California and you see a mass exodus out of … (2 comments)
