real estate: Willowbridge Real Estate Houston TX
- 01/03/17 12:59 PM
Coming into the New Year looking at Willowbridge Real Estate, I see the market only has a few homes for sale. Looking into my crystal ball, I feel the number of home for sale in Willowbridge will start to increase both in numbers and values. Over the last year, home values in Willowbridge have hit an all-time high of $384,000. Real Estate values will continue to climb in 2017. SO if you are in the market to move into or out of Willowbridge, NOW is the time. We have clients wanting to move into this area, but inventories are very low

This is a road map on how to buy a home. As with any map, you will find many different side roads and other shortcuts along the way.

- 08/13/13 01:24 PM
Do you know what you're paying for every month? When you decide to buy a new home, a good first step is to determine how much mortgage you can afford. After talking to a mortgage broker or using a mortgage calculator, you may find a payment amount that falls well within your monthly budget. Keep in mind the mortgage payment is only one of the monthly expenses you are responsible for with a new house. So, what else are you paying for?

At some point during your home buying process, the topic of title insurance is likely to come up. As with most types of insurance, title insurance is better to have and not use than to be needed and unavailable. But what is it, why do you need it and how does it work? Title insurance is a specialized insurance policy that protects you and your mortgage lender against mistakes made in a title search. If you find a home and there's not a clear title to it, title insurance protects the bank - and you - if there's a problem. A
