RED Day – Giving Where We Live!

Renew. Energize. Donate! RED Day is a day when Keller Williams Real Estate agents make it a point to give back to our communities. This week, KW Cary held a blood drive, collected food for the Brown Bag ministry (a food shelter), and polished one of Cary’s great parks (Ritter Park) by spreading hundreds of cubic yards of mulch! We’re still collecting food – drop off at our office during business hours - 201 Shannon Oaks Drive behind Chili’s on Kildaire Farm Rd.

Sell today before the other shoe drops!

Current mortgage data shows some good news in the Triangle:

* More people are paying their mortgage on time. This should lead to fewer distressed properties in Raleigh & Cary down the road.

Now the bad news! On average, it takes 23 months for a current default to go through the foreclosure process. There is a LARGE inventory of homes currently in short sale & pre-foreclosure status that will be soon hitting the market.

* There are 2x as many loans going 90 days plus past due (loans in default)
* There are 3x the number of foreclosure starts as there are foreclosure sales

This means, there is a ton of property coming on the market over the next two years that will compete with your house. Now is the time to sell your house!

Mortgage rates are at historic low levels & will not be forever. If you plan to sell in the next 12 months, sell now and price your property aggressively to get it sold before the other shoe drops!

Do national averages matter in our local market?

You wouldn’t rely on the national average temperature to decide what to wear today. The national average is of little value. What you need to know is what’s the temperature going to be today, right here in Raleigh & Cary, NC? The same is true for home mortgage interest rates because “all real estate is local!” Take a look and call me!

First Time Home Buyers – Come On Down!

Now is the time for every one who has ever wondered or dreamed about owning a home to get in the market. If you have a job with a steady W-2 income and you pay your bills on time, there is a great house out here for you!

You remember all of the hoopla last year about the government-sponsored First Time Home Buyer’s Tax Credit program! This year’s deals are better! Better interest rates. Lower priced houses. Better inventory to choose from. And lower payments. Many buyers find their mortgage payment will be less than their current rent!

This is the perfect time to be a buyer! To find out if its right for you, let’s talk about it. Call me!
