Did you know that the average home in Rancho Cucamonga is about 2,600 square feet? It may not seem like a lot of living space but keep in mind that homes back in the 1950s were only 1,000 square feet. You may think that living larger is better but more people have been looking to downsize their homes in Rancho Cucamonga. Let’s take a look at a few reasons why downsizing may be the right option for you.Downsizing Can Bring Financial ReliefOne of the most beneficial reasons why home owners decide to downsize is because of the financial break they end up achieving. By simply reducing your mortgage by $500 a month you can not only pay off other debts you may have in a shorter time span but you can also boost your retirement fund and be well off by the time you retire. Taking care of your fi... 04/25/2017

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor! Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not the celebration of Mexico’s Independence Day.

Sales of previously owned homes fell in July after four consecutive months of increases, according to the National Association of Realtors. The 3.2 percent decline was led by a 13.2 percent drop in the Northeast. The Midwest and South also saw decreases, while the West climbed 2.5 percent from the month before. Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist, says inventory and affordability are behind the decline. “Severely restrained inventory and the tightening grip it's putting on affordability is the primary culprit for the considerable sales slump throughout much of the country last month,” Yun said. “Realtors are reporting diminished buyer traffic because of the scarce number of affordable homes on the market, and the lack of supply is stifling the efforts of many prospective buyers attempt... 08/28/2016

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association's Weekly Applications Survey, average mortgage rates moved up last week across all loan categories, including 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with both conforming and jumbo balances, loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration, and 15-year fixed-rate loans. The increases, though slight, were enough to cause a dip in mortgage activity. Refinance demand – which is typically more sensitive to rate increases – fell 3 percent from the previous week, while purchase activity was down 0.3 percent from the week before. But though demand was slower on a week-over-week basis, it is still up significantly from last year when mortgage rates were higher. For example, refinance demand is now 45 percent higher than at this time last year and requests fo... 08/25/2016

Today's housing market is a mixed bag. On the one hand, a better job market, improving wage growth and low mortgage rates have driven buyer demand higher and made an increasing number of Americans consider buying a house. On the other, too few homes for sale are driving prices upward and new home construction isn't keeping pace with the increase in demand. Fortunately, in some cases, these factors help balance each other out. For example, though prices continue to rise in most markets, mortgage rates remain low – making higher prices slightly more manageable. All in all, Fannie Mae's chief economist, Doug Duncan, says the real estate market isn't likely to change too much one way or the other before the end of the year. “Housing market fundamentals remain a mixed bag. During the second ... 08/23/2016

The housing market is likely to see its best year of sales in a decade, according to a new outlook from Freddie Mac. In fact, the group's forecast calls for sales to reach 6.04 million by the end of the year. Sean Becketti, Freddie Mac's chief economist, says the housing market still has some challenges but is far better balanced than it was even just a few years ago. “This is a good sign for the housing market as it continues to be an even brighter spot in the economy,” Becketti said. “However, the housing market still has challenges, which is reflected in our housing starts forecast. Low levels of inventory across many markets will continue to put upward pressure on house prices for the foreseeable future.” But though Freddie Mac expects home prices to continue to increase due to a lo... 08/19/2016

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association's Weekly Applications Survey, average mortgage rates fell again last week, continuing to hover near record lows. Rates fell across all loan categories, including 30-year fixed-rate loans with both conforming and jumbo balances, loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration, and 15-year fixed-rate loans. Consistently low mortgage rates have been a bright spot for the housing market this year, as low inventory and higher prices strain affordability conditions. Between mortgage rates near record lows and a stronger job market, demand for home loans has been higher than at the same time last year, even as conditions have become more challenging. In fact, refinance demand is now 48 percent higher than last year at this time and purchase acti... 08/18/2016

 The number of new homes that broke ground during the month of July increased from the month before, according to new numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Housing starts were up 2.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 1.21 million units, the highest level since February. Economists expected starts to fall to a 1.18 million-unit pace. July's improvement not only beat economists' expectations but is also welcome news for home buyers. That's because any increase in the number of new homes being built adds for-sale inventory and helps moderate price increases and balance the market. Much of the concern about the current housing market revolves around the fact that the number of homes available for sale is lower than usual and h... 08/17/2016

One way to determine the health of any particular housing market is to gauge how many new homes are being built in the area. That's because new homes add inventory to the market, which plays an important role in moderating price increases and giving buyers more options when looking for a house to buy. For this reason, the National Association of Home Builders surveys builders each month to get a feel for how the new home market is doing. The survey scores builders' responses on a scale where any number above 50 indicates more builders view conditions as good than poor. In August, the survey found builder confidence up two points from the month before, reaching a score of 60. In particular, the index components measuring current sales conditions and future expectations both increased. Ro... 08/16/2016

During their lifetime, the typical American will move 11 times, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In fact, by age 30, the average person will have changed addresses six times already. But what about older Americans? Well according to a recent survey from Freddie Mac, there are a lot of Americans age 55 and older who say they'd like to move at least one more time. Among survey respondents, 63 percent said they'd prefer to age in place but nearly 40 percent said they'd like to move. Dave Lowman, Freddie Mac's executive vice president of single-family business, says the way we age has changed and it could have a significant impact on housing trends in the future. “Consider that at age 55, our grandparents started moving to retirement and senior living communities,” Lowman writes. “By co... 08/15/2016

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association's Weekly Applications Survey, demand for mortgage applications spiked 7.1 percent last week due to falling mortgage rates. Average rates were down for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with both conforming and jumbo balances, as well as loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration. On the other hand, the average contract interest rate for 15-year fixed rate mortgages was unchanged from the week before. Joel Kan, the MBA's associate vice president of industry surveys and forecasts, says lingering economic concerns pushed rates lower. “With lingering concerns over a weak second quarter reading of US GDP growth, along with continuing anxiety over global growth and financial markets, rates edged lower for the second week in a row,” Kan said. Lo... 08/10/2016
