york county home buyers: Everyone Likes A Sale, RIGHT?? - 08/13/10 03:22 AM
Can you believe that many homes are selling for 25 to 30 percent less than they were just a few short years ago?
Do you realize that interest rates are historically low?
Put these two together and you have an awesome sale!!  We are talking savings of thousands of dollars!!
If this was a Kohl's ad, you people would be all over it!  Get out there and do your research, get pre approved for a mortgage, go over your numbers to be REALISTIC with what YOU can afford and be ready, just incase that perfect home comes on the market that you … (0 comments)

york county home buyers: How Much Loan Can a VA Borrower Get? - 08/13/10 03:07 AM
Thanks Bruce!  Good info for all of us.  I love working with Veterans!  I think the whole process can be overwhelming for any buyer.  Many buyers just have NO idea how everything works the you have the VA telling people they are able to get a NO money down loan GUARANTEED and so many other things I have heard that are a little off.  Thanks again for putting this info out there.

I’ve been covering some of the basics of VA home loans in my recent posts, including what the VA does and does NOT do for the buyer. There … (0 comments)

york county home buyers: Market Report for End of July 2010 - 08/11/10 02:04 AM
Numbers for July are in!! The number of homes sold in York County through July were up 10% over last year to 2,343.
However, the median sale price was down 6% to $150,000. Are you waiting to see how low the prices will go.  I wouldn't do that.  As the rates go up, you lose any savings that you may have had with a lower mortgage.  And NOW you are spending it on interest!!
Rates are still low and FHA is making another change that will add more to your monthly payment in Sept., so GET OUT THERE AND BUY!!

york county home buyers: Over 33,000 reasons why you should buy a home NOW! - 08/11/10 02:00 AM
Did you know that if rates go up to just 6% from 4.5% that equals about $0.93 per $1,000 of principal and interest on a 30 year mortgage? 6% might sound high right now but when I bough a home in 1995 the rates were at 9.5%.  Just ask those who bought before that when they were in the teens!
YES, that is $93 a month on only a $100,000 mortgage. That is an extra $33,480 of just interest over those 30 years!!
That is why people need to see the importance of these low rates and do whatever they can … (1 comments)

york county home buyers: Where Have All The Buyers Gone? - 07/21/10 08:45 AM
I can't believe with...
the number of homes for sale the number of price reductions the current interest rates that there are not more buyers atleast trying to buy.  Do they really need an incentive by the Govt. to jump in and take control of the best financial decision they could make in a while?  Or is the economy and the lack of jobs that serious of a situaton that the number of buyers really is as low as it appears? 
I know homes are selling but I also know I see a lot of decent deals out there and I … (1 comments)

york county home buyers: Numbers are in for January through June of 2010 - 07/14/10 06:28 AM
Numbers for June are in!! York County home sales were 2,049, up 18% compared to Jan-June '09 and the median sales price was down 6% for the same time frame to $150,000.
I am sure the tax credit had a lot to do with that. I predict these numbers will fall on the number of homes sold AND the median price will continue... to drop.
Rates are still low so get out there and buy!!  They can't stay low forever!

york county home buyers: January 2010 compared to January 2009 - 03/03/10 04:43 AM
The numbers are in... For January 2010 the median sale price in York County was up 2% compared to January of 2009 and the number of homes sold was up 6% from January 2009.
If you are planning on buying, do it now before the prices rise again. I really think if the mortgage market continues to make it harder for buyers the prices will continue to drop.  The people who NEED to sell will have no choice.  The good news is that you can get a good deal on an upgrade.
If you are interested in specific school district numbers, … (0 comments)

york county home buyers: York County PA Real Estate Snapshot - 03/03/10 04:28 AM
Did you know that York County home sales in 2009, according to RAYAC, The Realtors Association of York and Adams Counties, were only down 3% from 2008? The number of homes sold was actually up 4%.
Remember there are a lot of short sales and foreclosures contributing to these numbers.  Also, it has been mentioned that these short sales are affecting the value of all homes.  If you are thinking of selling, you want to make sure you have a good amount of equity to make it all work.
Do you have a certain School District you would like numbers on? … (0 comments)
