The Holiday Season

I hope everyone is having as great of a holiday season as I am. I am so fortunate to have been blessed with the family that I have. They are the most kind, warm, generous, and loving family that anyone could ask for. I hope that all of you are blessed with the same kind of family. Have a safe and Happy New Year. Let's make it a great one!

Housing Market Stabilized?

Has the Palm Beach County housing market stabilized? You tell me. Click here for a FREE Neighborhood Market Report!

July New Home Sales Jump 9.6%

IBD reports that new home sales for the month of July jumped by 9.6%

Just another sign we may be pulling out of this slump.

Behind on payments?

If you need to sell, now is a good time to call us. Rates on 30-year mortgages rose this week. That means buyers won't be able to borrow as much and may hold off on the purchase of a home.
If you're behind on your payments or think you may have to stop paying on your mortgage, call us or go to our website. We may be able to negotiate a short-sale with your lender with no fees or commission out of your pocket. A short-sale is much less detrimental to your credit than a foreclosure. http://sellmywestpalmhome.com/

Housing recovery

Interest Rates...they are a risin'.

Well, I don't know if anyone has been following the rate on the 30 year fixed, but it is slowly inching up. Today's rate is averaging 5.37%. I've also read where refinancing time is taking much longer than usual. Apparently the banks are stretched a little thin in their underwriting departments. I don't understand why. They should be able to easily rehire the underwriters they laid off to SAVE money. What, with all the TARP and bail-out cash they've received, they should have no problems at all. So what's the HOLD-UP? Sorry, no pun intended.

CDPE Designation

I received my Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation yesterday, thanks to Tony Martinez, and Dolores Roth. I'm very proud of that that achievement. I'm looking forward to helping people who are in distressed situations start over again, with as little collateral damage as possible.

Existing home sale are up!

Good news today from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). We might be slowly cleaning up the existing home inventory. Hopefully we are on the road to recovery in this economy. http://www.realtor.org/RMODaily.nsf/pages/News2009062301?OpenDocument
