Over the last 6 months MLS inventory has averaged 4,436 homes for sale and currently 3.42 months supply of homes. An average of 1,012 homes have sold per month at an average price of $210,978 which is about 97.8% of the list price. The average Days on Market is 60.5 and prices have increased over last year.

What does this all mean?

Currently we have a shortage of inventory and homes are selling FAST and close to the offered sale price of the home. Prices have increased and affordability is a challenge at this time. Homes in the lower price point sell much quicker than the average sale price and typically less than 30 days. So if you plan on buying make a strong offer and make it quick! Working with one of our agents will ensure they understand the…

As we hear more and more about mounting student debt and scrambling to find a solution that will help people 'get out from under it' we get hit with yet another obstacle for those trying to obtain a mortgage with student debt.

FHA mortgages are the most common mortgage obtained because they have the lowest down payment and credit score required. This is a federally backed mortgage and has the most flexibility for borrowers. FHA allowed student debt payments that were deferred 12 months or more to be excluded from their their debt-to-income ratio and therefore would allow them to qualify rather than be denied for high debt.

FHA has recently changed that rule and now includes deferred student loan debt into their debt-to-income calculation to the tune…

Yes they will. When? I don't think anyone truly knows. However do you want to wait to find out? Below is an example of what Interest Rates Go UP?happens to your buying power if interest rates jump just 1%.

Say you are approved for $200,000 and the interest rate is 3.75%. Your approximate monthly mortgage payment would be $926.23 per month Principal and Interest.

If the interest rate jumped to 4.75% your payment would jump to $1042.29 P & I per month or to get the same payment of $926.23 your purchase price would drop to $178,000. That is a $22,000 reduction in your purchasing power.

Don't wait any longer. Buying a home is the best investment you will make. Think of it as a forced savings account that will give you a return when you sell as opposed to renting where…
