downtownsanjosecondos: Getting the Most Out of Your Child's 529 Plan to Pay for College - 01/25/22 10:42 AM
Getting the Most Out of Your Child's 529 Plan to Pay for College State-sponsored 529 accounts are a tax-free way to pay for a child’s college education. Opening an investment account when they’re young and contributing to it regularly and basically forgetting about it until they’re ready to go to college is one way to deal with it.

downtownsanjosecondos: Are buyers starting to push back? - 01/21/22 09:54 PM
We are starting to see a push back by buyers as rates are increasing. Over the last 18 months, with inventory at all-time lows, buyers were fighting and clambering to get into escrow. We are starting to see a few more properties hit the market and some buyers pushing back on paying over list price. While that was a standard practice while rates were at 2.5%; buyers are a bit more conservative now with rates in the mid 3’s. Here’s why:
 
$1,000,000 loan amount at 2.5% is $3951 per month principal and interest               $1,000,000 loan amount at 3.625% is $4560 per … (1 comments)
