Monday Morning Real Estate Update 2/4/08

Good Monday Morning!

If you are looking for a change in the Real Estate market you will have to look outside of the Eugene and Springfield area.  There really has been little change over the past several months and I don't look for much change in the months ahead.  This is why our current market remains one of the most opportune times to purchase a house that there has been in decades.  Home prices remain extremely attractive and there are many seller incentives out there.  With the current low mortgage rates, this is a wonderful opportunity.

If you would like to receive e-mail updates as new homes meeting your search criteria hit the market, you can log onto www.forhomeinfo.com to receive informative daily e-mail updates on homes listed for sale.

Have An Awesome Week!

Monday Morning Real Estate Update 1/14/08

Good Monday Morning!

It was certainly nice to see sunshine on Sunday!

Nationally, the housing market continues to slump.  Look for the Feds to make further moves to kick start housing by dropping the prime again. Also, look for a substantial drop this time.  How much effect this next drop has on mortgage interest rates is yet to be seen.  Rates are already at a 3 year low and a further decline can do nothing but help at this point.  Negative press on the availability for mortgage financing is somewhat exaggerated.  There are plenty of good loan programs out there for those who qualify.  The sub-prime loans that were feeding financing to those who were at very high risk are the loans that are gone.

Have An Awesome Week!

Good Monday Morning!

Fall weather is certainly here.  There is no chance of a drought in the Eugene and Springfield area at this time.

Nationally, the housing market remains dismal with September being the worst month for home sales in years.  Locally, we are holding up slightly better but the Real Estate market if far from being where it was a year ago.  Mortgage interest rates are holding stable, but fears of inflation and the lack of consumer confidence are forcing the market to stay cold.  As I have been saying for weeks, this is the best buyers market we have seen in years.  If you would like to know how to fully take advantage of this market as a buyer, please get in touch.

Have An Awesome Week!

Good Monday Morning!

It was certainly a gorgeous weekend to kick off Fall with. It looks like there is more great weather on it's way.

With the Fed reducing short term rates by 1/2 of a point last week, consumer confidence seems to be rebounding.  The Fed decision had little immediate impact upon mortgage interest rates.  The good news is that we should see rates hold tight or possibly drop over the next several weeks.  The housing market in the Eugene and Springfield area remains extremely favorable for home buyers.  The buyer opportunities are better today than at anytime in years.  If you are thinking about purchasing a home, don't wait and miss the large inventory of homes to look at, the soft pricing and the great mortgage interest rates.  There is also a good inventory on new homes out there right now, so builders are certainly more motivated than they have been for some time.

Have An Awesome Week!

Good Monday Morning!

There is just a bit of Fall in the air today!  Fall is a gorgeous time of year in the Eugene and Springfield area and there are lots of activities to take in over the next several months.

Mortgage interest rates have continued to decline.  This is a very good sign as the national housing market continues to slump.  I would think that rates will most likely continue their fall for the next several months. Most indicators point towards this continued decline.  There are some great purchase opportunities out there and with the lower rates, there has not been a better time to take advantage of them.

Have An Awesome Week!

Monday Morning Real Estate Update 9/3.07

Good Monday Morning!

Happy Labor Day!  What a gorgeous 3 day weekend it has been.  Also, congratulations to the ducks and Beavers for their wins in their season openers.  It should be a great season for local college football fans.

The housing market continues to tighten for sellers in the Eugene and Springfield area.  Time on the market is rising again and the inventory of homes for sale is continuing to swing up-wards.  The good news is that mortgage loan interest rates have decreased and certainly may drop some more.  This has made an extremely good environment for home buyers.  If you are considering purchasing a home don't let this current market slip away.  You have a good inventory of homes to choose from, soft pricing and great interest rates.

Have An Awesome Week!

Monday Morning Real Estate Update 8/13/07

Galand Haas,

Good Monday Morning!

The great Summer weather just keeps coming our way.  It has been perfect.  There just is no better place to live than Eugene or Springfield, Oregon.

Troubles with the mortgage industry continue to make home purchases more difficult.  The hardest hit groups are the first time home buyers and the upper end home buyers.  Programs for 100% financing are now very limited and will be difficult for some time.  Rates have jumped on jumbo loans, making it less attractive for upper end home purchases.  These problems with mortgage loans are not going to help an already poor national housing market.

If you are considering a home purchase, you can call me at 541-349-2620.  I do have lenders that we work with who can offer the best loan possibilities in this current volatile market.

Have An Awesome Week!

Good Monday Morning!

Mortgage interest rates continue to hold fairly steady.  This is good news for the many home buyers out there looking to purchase right now.  It seems like the question that I get asked most often these days is, " what is going on with rates" ?  Well, I wish I had a crystal ball.  The good news is that rates continue to be well below the ten year average.  This coupled with a high inventory of homes for sale and softer pricing makes our current market one of the best opportunities to purchase a home that we have seen in many years.  The reality is that the market for home buyers is more favorable now than it was in the heated market of 18 months ago.

Monday Morning Real Estate Update 6/28/07

Good Monday Morning!

I was great weekend in the Eugene and Springfield area.  Not to hot!  Not too cool! Perfect for Fathers Day!

Nationally the troubled housing market continues to show signs of weakness.  New permits for housing starts hit a 17 year low last month.  This adds validity to the fact that existing new homes just are not moving.  At the same time mortgage interest rates have continued to creep even higher.  If this trend continues look for the overall national market to continue it's downward trend.

Locally, our market continues to hold on.  Watch mortgage interest rates.  The direction of these rates Will determine where our local market heads in the near future.

Have An Awesome Week!

Good Monday Morning!

I was a typical Oregon late Spring weekend.  Don't worry Summer never really arrives here until after July 4.

The statistics show that the Eugene and Springfield area continues to enjoy one of the better housing markets in the country.  The question is, how long will this continue?  Mortgage interest rates have nosed up to just over 6%,  which could slow things down some.  This area also seems to always lag  behind the rest of the nation, so it is really unclear as to whether this is the case or whether we just have a better economy that other parts of the nation.  Time will tell.  One thing that is a certain here is that if you do plan on selling your home you must price your home competitively.  Our market is better than most, but not good enough to not be realistic.

Have An Awesome Week!
