November 10, 2022, 5:04 pm  By Tim and Julie Harris Welcome to the new market! Now that there are more listings, buyers have more choices. With more choices, buyers’ agents look for reasons to not show a property, and buyers look for reasons not to buy it, or to simply keep looking. Now that fewer buyers are looking, each showing is far more valuable to you as a listing agent. No one wants to have slow or no showings and then have to talk to the seller who trusted you and figure out what to say to them while the house languishes on the market. That’s no fun. Active listing inventory in the U.S. continues to rise. As of the end of October, nationwide, the increase was 33.5% over last year. Many markets had far higher increases year over year, such as Phoenix; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Nashville, Tennessee, leading with gains of 173.9%, 167.4%, and 145%, respectively. Along with more inventory comes longer days on the market, fewer showings, no more competing offers and more power to

With mortgage rates expected to climb even higher, lenders are launching new programs to court buyers November 3, 2022, 2:17 pm  By Connie Kim The Federal Reserve’s tightening of monetary policy is causing mortgage rates to rise rapidly. For lenders, that means finding new ways to drum up business, like introducing programs that try to convince borrowers to ‘marry the house and date the rate.’ Mortgage rates rose more than four percentage points in 2022, up from last year’s low 3% levels. The origination market forecast expects it to plummet to about half by this year compared to 2021, and mortgage rates, which are sensitive to short-term interest rates, are expected to climb. Prior to Wednesday’s Federal Reserve’s rate hike, the latest Freddie Mac weekly survey data showed that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage had declined to 6.95%, a drop of 13 basis points compared to last week. Rates averaged 3.09% this time last year. “Mortgage rates continue to hover around seven percent, as the d

  Getting Pre-Qualified for a Mortgage Loan... This step helps both you and your lender learn just how much home you can afford. And you should begin this process before you even start looking for a home. A lot of first time home buyers use FHA loans.  Usually FHA loans are easier to obtain than Conventional Loans.  FHA loans usually require 3.5% down opposed to conventional loans that usually require 10-20% down. According to the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), their pre-qualification essentials include: - Having a steady employment history, covering at least 1 year. - Consistent or increasing income over the past 1 year.. - Credit report reflecting a good repayment history with creditors, usually a credit score of 620 or better. - Any bankruptcy must have been discharged at least two years prior (one year for a Chapter 13), with good credit since the discharge. - Any foreclosure must have been completed at least three years prior, with good credit since the completion of the fo
