The expiration of the Federal Tax Credit for first-time and existing homebuyers has been detrimental to home sales in many markets across the United States.
The decline in sales was far more substantial than economists predicted. Many markets were hit with a decline as much as 25% to 30% in home sales, often twice their expected drop.
While April new-home sales were up 45% from the previous year put the annual home sales rate at 504,000. Weak sales figures for May left many home ...

Adjustable vs Fixed Rate Mortgages
on 2010-08-26
Mortgage rates can either be fixed for the duration of your loan
or can be adjustable. An adjustable rate mortgage is a loan that
is set up with an interest rate that changes based on
pre-determined criteria, primarily tied to the federal interest
rate. If the interest rates are up, then your interest rate on
your loan will be higher, if the interest rates are low than the
interest rate on your loan will go down.
Adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) are generally fixed interest
rates for a period of ...

How To Find a Real Estate Agent
on 2010-08-25
You may be of the opinion that you don't need a real estate
agent and that using one will add to the cost of buying your new
home. The fact is that a real estate agent's fees are typically
paid by the seller of the home. So, as a buyer, you can get the
services of a professional real estate agent without having to
directly pay for it. Please confirm this in any paperwork or
contracts that a real estate agent may provide because policies
vary greatly by state and company. Be sure to ask about ...

on 2010-08-21
Whether you need some extra cash to pay off some credit card
debts, or to make some home improvements, home equity lines of
credit or second mortgages can be great ways to get started.
Many people looking to borrow money often opt for home equity
line of credit, or HELOCs, for short. They are a tempting first
