whittier homes for sale: Rates Rise from All Time Low And Your Ability to Afford the Payment - 12/13/10 08:56 AM
According to Freddie Mac, interest rates for home loans reached their all-time lows on November 11, 2010, when the interest rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 4.17%. 
Last Friday, on December 9, 2010, rates rose to 4.61% for that same 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
What does this mean for a home buyer?
Well, first of all, your monthly mortgage payment will be higher.
Secondly, the total amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan will be greater.
Thirdly, you may not be able to afford as much house as you could have back on November 11.

whittier homes for sale: What a Turnaround for Whittier Home Sales! - 11/01/08 07:01 AM
The latest numbers from Real Data Strategies on home sales in Whittier and La Mirada are just amazing.  Home sales have jumped tremendously in the past couple of months.  It looks like buyers have finally concluded that now is the time to buy, before prices start going up again.
I can personally attest to the rise in activity, especially for bank owned properties, which, since they are still priced to sell, are getting multiple offers above the asking price. 
A total of 96 homes sold in September 2007 for Whittier and La Mirada.  In September 2008, sales shot up to 228!  … (0 comments)
