valencia: It's great to be a homeowner in 2023
- 05/25/23 12:18 PM
Friends, Family & Clients, The American dream remains homeownership. It is still the best long-term investment. The tax benefits, for the time being, are exceptional. The projection of a 7 percent annual appreciation is another major benefit. Equity, which is like a savings account, increases with every monthly payment. Purchasing a home helps you to build long-lasting relationships with your neighbors, become part of a community, and provide ongoing stability for you and your family. Having a fixed-rate mortgage provides comfort in knowing that your monthly payment will remain the same over the life of the loan, whereas rent costs can go (2 comments)

valencia: Happy Thanksgiving from Tony & Dani Lewis and Paul & Tracy Dinkel
- 11/18/22 09:40 PM
Family, Friends & Clients, The first Thanksgiving was in the fall of 1621. The Pilgrims celebrated their first successful harvest by firing guns and cannons in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The noise alarmed ancestors of the contemporary Wampanoag Nation who went to investigate. That is how native people came to be present at the first Thanksgiving. Today a traditional Thanksgiving dinner often includes turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, stuffing and sweet potatoes. Today Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday in November. The date of the first Thanksgiving remains unknown. President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving national holiday 1863.

Home Prices have risen approximately 40% over the past three years. Prices have declined about 10% since the first of the year. Rising interest rates, out of control inflation and the Russian invasion of Ukraine are key factors causing the decline in prices. The big question is "where do we go from here?" The chance of a recession or soft landing remains a mystery. A great reason for optimism is that lenders learned from past mistakes and utilized wise lending practices ever since the market crash of 2008. Homeowners, even if behind on their mortgage, mostly have (2 comments)

- 09/27/22 09:16 AM
Family, Friends & Clients, Is there any reason to buy a house with the current rising interest rates? Rising Interest Rates have adversely impacted the purchase power of those of us hoping to buy a house or investment property. This will most likely lead to an eventual drop in house prices as well as an increase in foreclosures and short sales. There is a benefit to those hoping to purchase a house in the current atmosphere. Homeowners will be less demanding and more willing to negotiate on price and repairs. There will also be much less competition for that perfect house for the (1 comments)
