rio vista: Refinancing Surge May Lead the Way to NEW MORTGAGES - 12/04/08 03:38 AM
In case you have not heard --- according to the Mortgage Banker's Association:
Applications to refinance home-mortgages jumped by a record amount, as borrowers flocked to take advantage of falling mortgage rates -- which were driven down by the government's announcement that it would step in to stabilize the mortgage market.
The number of applications tripled --- the largest increase since the poll data began back in the 90's.
Applications to purchase homes, which tend to be less sensitive to interest-rate movements, also increased, though by a smaller amount.
The surge in application volume comes as mortgage rates fell by more … (0 comments)

The good news is that today's market is a strong BUYERS market. What this means to you, the seller, is that if you are prepared to market your home in this climate --- you will sell your home.

One of the fabulous feelings --- in the real estate business --- is selling your own listing.
Recently, I had listed a gorgeous home in one of  the best locations in the beautiful, private neighborhood of Rio Vista Estates, Mahwah. After my listings sell, I like to review what works from a marketing standpoint (and of course, what does not work) so that I have a firm grasp for future home marketing plans and to evaluate the effectiveness of costs, tactics and media.

  I ran some numbers today to gleen some insight into the sales picture for Mahwah over the past 6 months. I also included the last 3 months for the homes under contract or pending sale.

Two homes in RIO VISTA went into attorney review or under contract in less than 14 days. The real estate market is LOCAL and when homes are priced well...they sell … (1 comments)
