- 10/05/22 09:15 AM
Homeownership is the dream of many, not all, but, I'd say the majority of people look to that day they purchase a home. When we are in crazy times, such as the ones we are currently living through, taxes spiral, wages don't keep up, unfettered inflation and recession rear their ugly heads, interest rates trend upwards, and much more. This may cause people to wonder whether homeownership is in their future. However, we must remember that homeownership has benefits. You may need to delay your dream or make other sacrifices to reach the goal BUT never ever give up on owning … (6 comments)

With Veteran's Day being tomorrow I thought this would be an opportune time to remind veterans about a VA Home Loan. One of the benefits many Veterans do not avail themselves of is a VA Home Loan. A veteran can use this benefit more than once. The VA Home Laon is a 100% government-guaranteed loan. The infographic gives the basics of the benefit. Contact a qualified VA loan provider to start the process. They can walk you through the process right to the closing.

homeownership: Does Demand Still Exist?
- 08/01/20 11:52 AM
The answer to that question is YES, demand still exists in the housing market. Will it continue to exist? Demand never really goes away, sometimes it's greater than other times. It's the inventory that's hurting us now. That and this virus that has most people unnerved (some more than others). Uncertainty is a major culprit in what we are seeing these days. More and more companies are telling their workers to work from home. There seems to be an expectation that people will flee to the suburbs. Massachusetts has the highest unemployment rate in the country at 17% (last time I looked). BUT, … (16 comments)

homeownership: Home Ownership Thoughts...
- 06/27/19 08:28 AM
Homeownership is intricately tied to the American Dream. Home/Land ownership, through the ages, has been an ingrained dream. Homeownership signaled your arrival, your worthiness. Homeownership gave you distinction in the community and among the women. =:o) Homeownership suggested stability and security and I think it still does.
