Fence sitters may be dealing with an opportunity lost by trying to time the market in hopes of a "better deal".  The following demonstrates that which we have been saying for months. As the pressure for higher mortgage rates has increased in recent weeks, investors have speculated that the Fed would step in to "defend" certain interest rate levels, but that hasn't happened. This week, Fed officials explained that their mortgage-backed securities (MBS) purchases are designed to support the mortgage market and not to set rates. The Fed's MBS purchases of $25.5 billion this week were similar to levels seen in recent weeks. Disappointed that the Fed hasn't increased its quantity of asset purchases, investors sold MBS this week, and mortgage rates moved higher. A number of factors have been ...

Market Conditions Improving.... The North Carolina Association of Realtors has reported in the May/June issue of "For The Record" that foreclosures fell 42% in North Carolina in the 1st Quarter, while filings rose 24% nationally, as compared to the same period last year, 2008. Nationally, the United States median home price rose 4.2%, considerably higher than the normal seasonally adjusted increases of 1.8%.  Over 55,000,000 US households can now afford to purchase median priced homes of approximately $200,000.  And of course, due to the first-time homebuyer tax credit, that segment accounted for 53% of all home transactions in March.                                                                                                                                            In Addition.......

We are closing in on almost 4 months since the benefits of the Stimulus Package for home buyers was announced.  Unfortunately, the incentives have not yet spurned an appreciable amount of buying activity, though some markets have reported some modest upswings in the past 3 months. So, why haven't the results been more dramatic.  To begin with, the stimulus package didn't reach deep enough into the population to benefit all buyers at all levels of the economic scale.  Anyone that is not a classified "first time buyer" does not get the $8,000. Federal tax credit that is promised the first time buyer.  They are also the ones who can afford in many cases to wait and try to time the market, hoping for a better deal.  They are not likely to be that smart, and will not benefit by waiting near ...

It's been longer than I like between posts, but I have been watching with interest the effects decisions in Washington are having on our futures, and what is being done or promised with our money.  Some of the measures I advocated last August in the wake of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failing, are finally being done.  Maybe not as far reaching as it could to get the real estate market turned around, but enough to benefit a lot of home buyers and, consequentially, sellers. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is providing tax credits for home buyers that have not owned a home as a primary residence for 3 years, otherwise referred to as first time buyers.  This is not a permanent program, but offers a generous short term window of opportunity to take advantage of three things...
