littleton: FHA raises mortgage insurance premium and may hurt Denver Metro home values - 02/24/11 11:48 AM
The FHA is boosting the annual mortgage insurance premium charged on its home loans, a move that will increase the cost of an average FHA mortgage by about $30 a month. Effective April 18, the FHA is increasing the annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP) on 30- and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages by 25 basis points, or one-quarter of one percent of the total loan value.

littleton: Littleton Colorado Real Estate Market and Selling Your Littleton Home - 03/09/10 04:05 PM
Some might think that the market is bad but I have been selling Real Estate in the Littleton market for years and prices are stable. Sure we have all seen that foreclosure in our neighborhood go for what seems to be next to nothing but the truth is, a home in good condition still is going for top dollar and selling within a reasonable amount of time. If your thinking of waiting to move into a bigger home and are thinking it is better to wait just remember the real estate market usually goes up in percentages so if you
