Mr Williamsburg.com How is the Real Estate Market in Hampton Roads ? - 11/10/07 05:51 AM
We have fielded many calls over the past few weeks from clients, friends and associates curious about what's going on in the real estate market. So, I thought I would take a moment and share my insights here.Real estate is a very "local" phenomenon. Unfortunately, the news media generally is not. Accordingly, consumers are influenced by national stories that may or may not apply to our local market.Here is some good news: "Hampton Roads had the fifth lowest rate of home foreclosures out of the 100 top metropolitan areas in the first half of 2007. The ranking comes from Irvine, California … (0 comments)

Mr Williamsburg.com Positioning your home/ Listing in a Buyer's Market - 11/09/07 08:12 AM

In a market with so much inventory (absorption rates on the Virginia Peninsula are currently at 6.3 months), how does a seller differentiate their listing from everyone else's? I recommend that sellers think of their property as a product; just like a product on the shelf in the grocery store. Buyers don't care how much you paid for it, or what your new home is going to cost; instead, they are going to make their purchase based solely on comparison. Is your house the BEST VALUE for the money, compared to the other houses that are available?The first differentiator is PRICE. … (0 comments)

Mr Williamsburg.com Should I hire a realtor to sell my home ? - 11/09/07 08:09 AM
Very, very few people are qualified to sell their home without the help of a real estate professional.  And, unfortunately, many people who believe they are saving money... aren't.  In fact, they may be surprised at just how much it's costing them to go it alone.
Here are some of the reasons that a professional Realtor is invaluable:
1)  Pricing in this market is tricky.  Setting a price on your home takes an insightful analysis of not only past sales, but current pending sales.  Many for sale by owners are actually over pricing their properties right now, because they don't have … (0 comments)

Mr Williamsburg.com Principal residence capital gain exclusion - 11/05/07 05:18 PM
For the vast majority of  sellers the basic rules apply and are fairly straightforward: if a seller makes a profit on the sale of their home and they have lived there at least two years in the past five, they will be able to exclude much if not all of their capital gain ($250,000 individual; $500,000 married filing jointly).  Note the amounts refer to the gain, or profit, not to the sales price of the home.  Note also that profit is not necessarily (indeed almost certainly not) the same thing as the amount of seller proceeds shown on the HUD-1.
Basic Rules

Mr Williamsburg.com "Should I wait to buy a home" ? - 11/05/07 10:45 AM

In 1984, interest rates were 14%, and the market was much different than it is today.  I've attached a chart ( courtesy of Mortgage X.com) that displays rates over the past 37 years, because it really helps to put our current market into perspective.  I'd also like to share some insights that were posted on a mortgage banking blog that I follow, which I found very interesting!
Out of the past 442 months, which dates back to the beginning of 1971 or almost 37 years, there have only been 69 months where the average 30 Year Fixed Mortgage has been offered at less … (0 comments)
