Rates are holding as more negative economic news surfaces that is offsetting some of the positive stock market news. Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization numbers, for example, were both down, further indicating that a recovery is a long way away.
It is more difficult to get some of our first time homebuyers approved for condo purchases with high HOA dues (in excess of $400).
Recently we had an issue by having a parent co-sign for her daughter.
