Good Monday morning to you! When the discussion of Real Estate comes up, everyone wants to point the finger a hundred different ways to explain why the market is or is not performing. In all reality, there are just a few places to look for answers:- Jobs- Recent Sales Activity- Inventory- Mortgage Availability Let's look at these on a local level... Jobs - I attended the Wichita Falls Economic Forum this week, and found that Wichita Falls had actually created quite a few new jobs this year.

homes for sale: Wichita Falls Market Temperature
- 01/24/11 02:20 AM
Good Monday morning to you! Market Temp It seems not so long ago (3 years) that someone coined the phrase, "price war and beauty contest" for the real estate market. The more and more I work with buyers and sellers, the more this not only makes sense to me- but I've found it truly is the perfect description. You will hear many people make comments on the market being stagnant and slow - it is anything but that. Since January 1 we have had nearly 200 new buyers register with our sites on-line. The market's issue right now is inventory. We have the same amount … (0 comments)

- 01/17/11 02:31 AM
Good Monday Morning to you! As you probably know, we have a non-traditional approach to a traditional business. We believe that we are changing the way the industry operates, and its seems as though these tactics are working. Last year, we grew our market share 150% - in what was a very unique market. The stats came out for the Wichita Falls Real Estate market in 2010 this week. Essentially, the residential sold market was flat as inventory continued to grow. All in all, we are so fortunate to be in the market we have here. Many of our buyers from other states … (0 comments)

homes for sale: Ashton's Weekly Update - Look Who Is Still Buying....
- 11/15/10 01:41 AM
Good Monday morning to you! Market Snapshot There are currently 62 residential properties IN-CONTRACT at this time in the Wichita Falls MLS. Only 4 (6%) are listed over $300,000. While many people thought the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit expiration would pull young buyers out of the market, the low interest rates have kept them hanging around...and rightfully so. If one is currently spending $800/month in rent, they can easily afford a mortgage at or near $100,000. Maybe that's why 84% of the current IN-CONTRACTS are under $200,000. The market as a whole this year has roughly been flat. And … (0 comments)
homes for sale: What a difference a year makes...
- 10/25/10 03:19 AM
Good Monday morning to you! If you've read anything about the Real Estate market over the past 3 years, the main buzz was the 1st Time Home Buyer and Repeat Buyer Federal Tax Credits. This $8000 tax credit sent a wave of buyers into all markets...and, rightfully so. However, in less than 6 months, interest rates have fallen on a 30 year fix from 5.25% to 4.25%. At a loan amount of $200,000, this is over $43,000 in savings over the life of that loan. The last time I checked, $43,000 was greater than $8,000...what a difference a year makes. The chart below … (1 comments)

- 07/12/10 03:03 AM
Good Monday Morning to you! Did you know that 15 year rates hit below 4% last week? That is the lowest the market has EVER seen. When you stop and consider how inexpensive mortgages have become, it comes as no surprise to see more investors entering the rental market, just to take advantage of this incredible financing that's available for a 30 year loan. We encourage our clients to take advantage of these rates while they're here, because they won't be around for long. Right now, they can save A LOT! For instance, let's say that a buyer takes out a $200,000 … (0 comments)

Many of you have called and emailed me with questions in regards to where the market is headed. While I do not have a Real Estate "radar", I do know where the market is today - and that answer is good. The first time home buyer tax credit is set to expire on November 30. If you … (0 comments)

I saw rates this week hit 5.25% FIXED for 30 Years with local lenders this week - its time to capitalize on this opportunity. And don't forget my Stimulus Package for buyers! I have negotiated discounts with numerous local vendors to make your next move affordable and stress free. Call or email me if you would like more details. I hope … (0 comments)
