If you’re looking to make a move during the summer before school starts in the fall, now is the best time to start your search. The weather is clearing up and it’s a great time go out on a weekend and look at houses with your realtor. Don’t start too late or you’ll be stuck with a closing date in September or October.
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.

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″
