Mortgage Rates Hit Record Low
Mortgage Rates Drop to Record Low: 30 year fixed mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in 39 years according to a new survey released by Freddie Mac, the second largest mortgage finance company.Interest rates on 15 year fixed rates and hybrid adjustable rate mortgage rates reached fresh lows as well. While record low rates and high housing affordability helped the housing market gain ground over the last year, the sector is struggling since the popular home buyer tax credit expired on April 30th.According to a Freddie Mac survey, the average 30 year fixed rate for conventional (non-FHA and VA) mortgages averaged 4.69 percent for the week ended June 24th and is the lowest since Freddie Mac started the survey in April 1971. Still, Freddie Mac's data is at least a week old before they publish it and it has been another week since then. 15 year rates are below 4%. Rates do vary depending on credit, debt ratios, down payment, area of the country, property type, points paid and many more factors.

The Market is BACK !!!!
There is just no way around it, last year was a challenge regarding our property values. However, be of good cheer, the turn around is here! Virtually every city in the metroplex is up substantially over this time last year. According to our local board of realtors statistics, the number of home sales are up an average of 15.6%. Some areas of note are: Southlake...up 61.9%, Colleyville....up 24% and Trophy Club up a wopping 90%.
The other side of the good news is this. Homes in our area are bringing over 95% of their listed price!
Why? The driving factor seems to be the availability of extremely low interest rates. One of my buyers went VA and locked in below 4.5%.
If you're thinking about buying or selling but want to do a little on line research for yourself, go to my web site at http://www.homesbyal.com/. Click on Search the MLS button on the left. Registration NOT required.
Then call me anytime for additional assistance.
