Interest Rates on Mortgages Increase Based on Positive Housing Market Data from 2011 - 01/26/12 01:54 PM
Today, 1/26/2012, Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.98%, up sharply from 3.88% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.24%, up from 3.17% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 4.80%!
Even though rates did go up for both 30 year and 15 year fixed-rate mortgages, the fact is that the rates have stayed below 4% for quite a while. That is good for buyers who want to keep short-term and long-term costs down, and also for sellers who want motivated buyers.
A Freddie Mac spokesperson said that the rates went … (0 comments)

The 2012 Florida Strawberry Festival Will Soon Be Here! March 1st to the 11th! - 01/23/12 02:56 PM
When I lived back in the Finger Lakes area of New York State, I had to wait until June for nice tasty strawberry shortcakes. Many of you who live in northern climes will also have to wait for these treats. However, here in Florida we will be way ahead of you. We get these delicious desserts in the winter while y'all are still shoveling that white stuff off your sidewalks.
In Plant City, Florida we have the yearly Strawberry Festival which will take place this year from March 1st to the 11th. This year will be the 77th Anniversary of this event. It is no small-town … (1 comments)

Mark Your Calendars! Florida's 2012 State Fair will take place from February 9th to 20th! - 01/17/12 07:38 PM
When I lived back in New York, our state fair always took place in August when the weather was hot and the kids were all out of school. Here, our Florida State Fair occurs in February when our weather is pleasantly mild and during the week the kids are in school leaving the fairgrounds less crowded. Students get their chance to enjoy in the evenings and on the weekends.
This year the fair will be held from February 9th to the 20th at the fairgrounds located just east of the City of Tampa, Florida along US 301.
This year promises … (2 comments)

Mortgage Interest Rates Hit New Record Lows - reports Freddie Mac - 01/12/12 02:08 PM
Today, 1/12/2012, Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.89%, down from 3.91% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.16%, down from 3.23% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 4.71%!
Mixed signs were coming from labor market statistics. Apparently the unemployment rate went down, but still remains historically high. A worry to many. And some experts say that the increase in jobs was partly due to added employees needed during the holiday season, and that these jobs could disappear in weeks to come. The US Federal Reserve reported … (0 comments)
