- 02/13/13 01:52 AM
It’s likely you’ve heard the term “short sale” thrown around quite a bit. But what, exactly, is a short sale? A short sale is when a bank agrees to accept less than the total amount owed on a mortgage to avoid having to foreclose on the property. This is not a new practice; banks have been doing short sales for years. Only recently, due to the current state of the housing market and economy, has this process become a part of the public consciousness. To be eligible for a short sale you first have to qualify! To qualify for a short … (2 comments)

Where Are House Prices Actually Headed? by THE KCM CREW on MAY 22, 2012 We are often asked where we believe home values are headed.

medford real estate: 4 REASONS TO BUY A HOME NOW!
- 05/17/11 04:55 AM
As Dean Hartman said last week, the purchase of a home is a personal decision. However, we want to give everyone four great financial reasons why you should not wait before taking the plunge into homeownership.
Interest Rates Are Increasing Interest rates have increased almost 3/4 of a point in the last six months. Most experts expect rates to continue to increase through the year.

medford real estate: This Year, A House Becomes a Home Again!
- 01/25/11 08:55 AM

We didn’t worry about a roof over our heads but instead the ceiling on our interest rate. We didn’t care as much about where we raised our family as we cared about how much we increased our family’s net worth. That will change in 2011. The KCM Crew believes very strongly that real estate will return to what it has been for the 200+ year history of this country: a … (0 comments)
