    If you’d be interested in setting up an appointment to go see houses, please contact me anytime. I’d be happy to help you with your home search.

    Great Time To Buy!


    May 25th, 2010

    Although the tax credit is now over, it’s still a great time to buy with rates so low!

    According to MSN.com “Every 1 percentage-point increase in mortgage rates reduces a buyer’s purchasing power by 10%. I.E. taking out a 30-year mortgage for $300,000 at a rate of 5% will cost you about $1,600 a month, not including tax…es & insurance. But the same monthly payment at a rate of 6% will get you a loan of only $270,000″
