live in sunny az: There is a first time for everything - 05/08/23 07:30 AM
More than 1/4 of buyers are first-time buyers.
Will you be one of them this year?
Some of the folks that I am currently working with and it seems like interest rates are a major factor in their reluctance to make a move. 
t is important to keep in mind that while you might be conditioned to look for the lowest rate, that may not always be your best option. Also, many times the eye-popping low rates that are advertised require you to buy down the rate with points. One discount point generally costs about 1% of your loan amount and, … (2 comments)

live in sunny az: TWIB- This week in Baseball May 01 to May 07. MLB Weekly UpDate - 05/06/23 01:06 PM
In all these years of as the Official MLB power ranker -- I started doing it here at CBS Sports in 2012! -- I'm certain that I've never gone back-to-back weeks with the Pittsburgh Pirates as the primary topic up here on top. Firsts are fun, though, so let's talk about those Pirates. 
After taking two of three from the Dodgers and then whipping up on the eminently Whipp able Washington Nationals Saturday, the Pirates are now 20-9. Yeah, it's still a bit early, but not absurdly so. Since the NFL mindset has permeated the rest of sports, let's point out that we're the equivalent of three NFL games into our season. So … (7 comments)

live in sunny az: Real Estate Crash or Simply Gridlock? - 05/05/23 01:06 PM
Right off the bat I want to set your mind at ease.
READ FULL BLOG HERE ......
The Real Estate market does not appear to be in crash mode, at least not of the 2008 variety with which we are all painfully familiar. This is an adjustment, admittedly an unusual one. I know… I too roll my eyes at the overused phrase ‘market adjustment’ but I really can’t think of a better term.
Real Estate market adjustments happen far more often than you might think. Indeed, adjustments are happening almost constantly in this industry, but not usually on the dramatic scale that … (7 comments)

This is the last of a 5-part series about thinking outside the box to find your dream home.  The first article was May 1st and all week I have been writing one a day.
This one is personal, I normally keep my professional and personal life somewhat separated but want to share the story of the ugly house that smelled like moth balls.  Ten year ago, we bought a house neither of us liked, but I saw the potential, loved the location and a big lot for The Villages and promised a blank canvas to start putting it together the … (3 comments)

live in sunny az: Congress must act quickly to raise the debt ceiling - 843 REALTOR - 05/03/23 06:03 AM
The United States debt ceiling is a legal limit on the amount of money that the federal government can borrow. The debt ceiling was created in 1917 to give Congress more control over the government's spending.
There are a number of things that Congress can do to avoid a default on the debt ceiling. They can raise the debt ceiling, which would allow the government to continue borrowing money. They can also pass a temporary spending bill that would fund the government for a period of time, giving them more time to negotiate a long-term solution.
The debt ceiling is a political issue, … (5 comments)

Everywhere you look, people are talking about a potential recession. And if you’re planning to buy or sell a house, this may leave you wondering if your plans are still a wise move. To help ease your mind, experts are saying that if we do officially enter a recession, it’ll be mild and short. As the Federal Reserve explained in their March meeting:
“. . . the staff’s projection at the time of the March meeting included a mild recession starting later this year, with a recovery over the subsequent two years.”  While a recession may be on the horizon, it … (4 comments)

Think Twice Before Waiting for Lower Home Prices
As the housing market continues to change, you may be wondering where itll go from here. One factor youre probably thinking about is home prices, which have come down a bit since they peaked last June. And you've likely heard something in the news or on social media about a price crash on the horizon. As a result, you may be holding off on buying a home until prices drop significantly. But that's not the best strategy.
A recent survey from Zonda shows 53% of millennials are still renting right now because … (3 comments)

live in sunny az: What Is Meant By Points in a Real Estate Transactions? - 04/29/23 11:20 AM

In the context of residential lending and real estate, "points" typically refer to mortgage points or discount points, which are fees paid to a lender at closing to reduce the interest rate on a mortgage. A point is equivalent to 1% of the loan amount, and it can be used to buy down the interest rate. This is essentially a way for borrowers to pay an upfront fee to secure a lower interest rate on their mortgage, which can save them money over the life of the loan.
There are two types of mortgage points:
Discount Points: These are the … (4 comments)
