- 10/09/09 06:16 AM
Is the Market Changing? Brevard County real estate sales continue to thrive. New listings are down, sales are up, and interest rates are still at historically low levels. With sales up almost 20% year over year, and inventory down about the same, it seems as though the market is moving at a fairly decent pace. So ask the question: is the market changing? Sales continue to show strong numbers, and inventory is decreasing. With 79% of the sales being under $200,000, buyers are still looking for the bargains. These "bargains" are going fast, as 37% of September sales sold in less … (0 comments)

- 09/02/09 06:37 AM

brevard county real estate: What is a short sale?
- 08/01/09 07:07 AM
Simply put: a short sale is when the seller of a property owes more on the property than they are selling it for. So if the sellers owe $200,000 on a house, and they are selling it for $150,000, then they are asking the lien holder to take the loss for the difference or the short. Short sales are very common in this market environment due to decreased valued. Short sales typically take longer than regular transaction because the bank has to approve of the sale. The approval process may be lengthy because the bank may only service the loan, and … (1 comments)

brevard county real estate: Interest Rates are on the rise!
- 05/29/09 07:23 AM
All signs point to rising interest rates. The inflationary fears have started to materialize and have affected the Bond markets. Over the next few years, Trillions of dollars will be pumped into the economy, and many fear that this will cause hyperinflation. Because interest rates are determined by the price and yield of Mortgage Backed Securities, when consumer confidence comes back, there will be a flight away from fixed income instruments, and towards equities or stocks. In other words, money will stop flowing towards bonds, and will start moving towards other items that will more likely beat inflation. While bonds offer … (4 comments)
