Tips from Ted July 30, 2012
Cromford Report: Demand for single-family homes is very strong . . .
Ted's Tip: Buy NOW before prices rise excessively and quickly.
Why?
Multiple offers are back, especially in the $100,000-$300,000 price range. Investors are here with cash in hand. See something you like? Grab it. One property had 95 offers–51 of them were investors.
Active adult communities have increased realty activity, but, not currently at the same pace as non-age qualified.
Be sure to call, text or email your requests to call (623) 476-2491 or ted@BirdieGolfHomes.com.
Complimentary Buyer's Guides are now available by emailing lana@BirdieGolfHomes.com and writing "Guides" in the subject field. TF

How much better can it get?
The Wall Street Journal reported today that 15-year mortgage rates fell further to average 2.97% with lowest fees circling 0.7% of the loan amount. These numbers are significant having fallen below 3% since Freddie Mac started tracking it.
Don't forget the 30-year rate fell last week to an average 3.75%.
Ask yourself if this is the time to buy—"Home much better can it get?" TF

Chicken Little was wrong!
It's not the sky that is falling, it's the mortgage interest rates!
Mortgage Rates Hit Century Low to 3.78% since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s.
The key is an individual's credit rating. It determines the rate.
Also, consider that activity is boosted by changing
market conditions, too. For example, publicity about the Phoenix metro
area has boosted interest from out-of-staters.
Stay tuned . . . TF
