interest: Is Housing Really Affordable? - 02/01/24 02:07 PM
According to the infographic below it is.
One thing we cannot forget is this;
People buy and sell real estate in all types of markets. They buy and sell during high-interest markets as well as low-interest rate markets.
They buy and sell when the market is awash in inventory and they buy and sell when inventory is low.
So what's the common denominator?
Real Estate is bought and sold every day. Thus, If you are contemplating buying or selling your first home or 5th home, contact your local Real Estate professional and get the ball rolling. 
Enjoy the infographic.

interest: Are You Thinking Of...? - 09/12/20 08:29 AM
I think after the 1st of the year, this year, we all went to bed and while we were sleeping some alien force teleported us to Bizarro World where things are not anything like we are used to!
Who would have thought that during a "worldwide" health crisis, where economies and people were locked down, and people suddenly became unemployed, and businesses closed OR, where business was transacted over ZOOM, GoToMeeting, BlueJeans, or any of those streaming services, just who would have thought that many, many Real Estate professionals would have a banner year? Even in States where Real Estate was … (25 comments)

interest: Only 4??? - 03/11/19 09:51 AM
Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening... That should cover it...lol. I came across this article from the folks at KCM and decided to look at it because I could probably cite 40 reasons for buying a home this Spring. The 4 they mention are prime reasons to buy and those 4 ways can be inclusive of many more. When Pam & I were buyers we had been looking for some time AND interest rates were rising every week. We were hot to trot, had looked at many properties, got beat out of 3. We knew owning was way better than renting, for us. … (4 comments)

interest: HOW TO SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN INTEREST ON YOUR MORTGAGE - 12/26/18 07:42 AM
Everyone wants to know how to save money on their mortgage. A real eyeopener is when you're at the closing table reviewing & signing the mortgage documents and you first see JUST HOW MUCH you'll REALLY be paying for your home once the interest is paid!!
Pam & I paid our 30-year mortgage off in 23-years using some of these techniques that the folks at KCM have put together. I've always lived by the motto "It's what stays in Hip National Bank (your pocket) that counts".

interest: The Good Ole Days... - 07/07/18 07:28 AM
OR...were they. Here's a fun infographic by the folks at KCM. When Pam & I bought our home in 1985 we paid 13% and that wasn't even at the height of interest rates. We have friends that paid up to 16%+ 
We knew rates couldn't stay that high and we were prepared to refinance when rates came down. We actually refinanced 3 different times & made additional principal payments. We paid off the mortgage in 23 years.
Today the interest rates are still low, low, low. Owning Real Estate is still the best way to accumulate wealth. The longer you wait, the more it … (18 comments)
