denver realtor: Waiting for the Mortgage Rates to Come Down
- 12/11/22 11:34 AM
Waiting for the mortgage rates to come down before you buy a home may not be a good decision.
If you are correct, and the rates do come down by two percent, the savings you benefit from a lower rate will most likely be devoured by the appreciated price increase.
As of 12/8/22, the 30-year fixed-rate was at 6.33% which is close to the highest level since mid-2008. If the rate drops to 4.7% in three years but the price increases by 5% a year, a $400,000 home today, will cost $463,050 three years from now.

denver realtor: Buying or Selling a Home? Where Are Values Headed?

Buying or Selling a Home? Where Are Values Headed?
Today, many real estate conversations center around housing prices and where they may be headed. Some believe rapidly rising prices have created a new ‘housing bubble’. Others believe that the sudden rise in interest rates will impact purchasing power to such a degree that it will force prices downward. There is no lack of opinions and there is absolutely no consensus.
That is why we like the Home Price Expectation Survey. Every quarter, Pulsenomics surveys a nationwide panel of over one hundred economists, real estate experts and investment & market strategists about where prices … (2 comments)

denver realtor: When Rates Go Up
- 07/09/13 06:08 AM
When Rates Go Up
Rising interest rates are great if you are renewing a certificate of deposit but not so much when you’re borrowing money. With interest rates on the rise as well as home prices, housing affordability is a concern for would-be homeowners.
A rough rule of thumb is that a person’s or family’s housing should not exceed 28% of their monthly gross income. While rental rates and home prices have been consistently increasing, mortgage rates have been soaring in the past month. In one week, according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey, they jumped by .5%.
This means that people have … (1 comments)

Millennials as Real Estate Clients: Communication is Crucial
If I have learned one thing in my time as a manager in the real estate industry, it is that the ability to communicate is a quality demonstrated by the best of the best.
Great communicators know that this quality is as much about listening and making yourself available to another person as it is about relaying a message. True salespeople can steer the style in which they communicate to suit their clients. However, the actual message they are conveying never changes. They are there to help and are the best at the job they are doing.

Farmers Markets are the freshest of the fresh fruits and vegetables. I love the corn on the cob all year long. When the markets come to town I buy all the fresh corn I can then freeze it for the winter months. We need to support our farmers. It’s a very hard job they do from sun up to sun down.
