bill nye realty: Mortgage Rates Slip Slightly Lower this Week. Just Slightly! - 08/21/14 06:52 AM
Today, 8/21/2014,  Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgage was 4.10% down a tad from 4.12% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.23%, down a little from 3.24% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 4.58%.
Another week with little change. But that is sure better than having the rates skyrocket, isn't it? As long as rates remain low, buyers can more easily get the properties they want and sellers can better sell their homes for a fair price. Win-win!
The problem many areas are seeing is … (0 comments)

bill nye realty: 2014-15 School Year Begins in Florida on August 18th! Drive with Care! - 08/16/14 06:26 AM
On Monday, August 18th, students and teachers will return to their classes in the public schools of Pasco County, Florida for the 2014-2015 academic year. I suspect that this will be the case in nearly every county in the State of Florida.
When I was teaching here two decades ago, we started after Labor Day. And many schools around the country still do. But several years ago, statewide exams were created and it was felt that more time was needed to prepare for them. So the beginning of the school year was moved up by several weeks.
In any case, … (0 comments)

When I opened my mailbox today (8/16/2013) I found a letter from Mike Wells, the Pasco County Property Appraiser where I live, telling me what my proposed property taxes for 2013 would likely be. Probably most of Florida's residents are also receiving these notices, also called Truth in Millage (TRIM). notices. It is worth your while to closely examine the one that pertains to the property(s) that you own.
The notice will show you 3 main things:

bill nye realty: For 4th Week, Average Mortgage Interest Rates Rise! Highest in 2013! - 05/30/13 03:56 AM
Today, 5/30/2013 Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.81%  up from 3.59% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 2.98%, up from 2.77% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 3.75%.
This is the 4th week of increases so it very well could be that instead of seeing steady decreases week-after-week, we will now see increases. And this week's increase was not so "slight". Many economists are saying that average mortgage interest rates will be close to 4% by year's end. That may not seem like a … (0 comments)
