According to a recent REALTOR.org article: Stocks are up 50 percent from the March 2009 bottom. Some commodities have risen dramatically. The only asset class left in the cellar is real estate, says Michael Murphy, editor of the New World Investor stock newsletter. As a result, Murphy is advising investors to buy now for these three reasons: • Desperate sellers: Both home owners and lenders are eager to unload a flood of foreclosed and underwater properties. Buyers with the patience to push through these complex deals can save a bundle. • Little competition. Because most people don’t have what it takes to negotiate their way through short sales and REOs, patient investors are winners. • Low rates. Mortgage rates are at their lowest level in 40 years. If you believe inflation is inevitable, lock in now.

Want to cut energy costs? Start by saving energy in the living room — reconsidering a plasma TV. The three biggest energy hogs in the family room are the plasma television, DVR/Tivo box, and digital cable box, says the nonprofit American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy. A typical plasma TV uses about $50 in electricity per year. Next up are TiVo devices at $41 annually, followed by digital cable boxes at $27. Opting for an LCD (liquid crystal display) TV will cost about $8 to operate annually—for an annual savings of about $42 over the plasma.

FHA has passed new guidelines that will make it more expensive to buy a home due to increased fees on your FHA mortgage. Higher monthly fees, larger down payments and better credit scores are among the new initiatives. The new rules will start taking effect as early as the end of August and will impact buyers with higher fees and increased monthly mortgage insurance amounts. The new rules will also cut the amount of seller paid closing cost from 6% to 3%. This means it will cost you more money at closing, out of pocket, to buy a house. Even if you need to sell a home first, getting it sold soon and being able to capture some of this Perfect Storm will save you money in the future.

According to a recent article from Rismedia.com, 2010 is the “Year of the Short Sale”. A short sale is a listing where the lender agrees to take less for the home than what is owed on the mortgage, and many times the buyer can get the property below market value, sometimes way below market value. Here is how to go about successfully buying a short sale:
1. Search for short sale properties
Most short sales are listed by real estate agents. You will find these listings on local websites and in MLS feeds and from Number 2.
2. Select a real estate professional
Professionals with short sale experience can help you navigate the short sales process in your local market. The buying process is often far more complex—and far longer than typical sales–so a trained ally on your side can make your experience successful, plus we have access to all short sale listings.
3. Investigate the mortgage and liens on the property
Here’s where a good short sale real estate agent is worth his or her weight in gold. Uncover how much the mortgage is worth. Find out how much the current owners paid and when. Find out how many liens are on the property. Find out which lender is the primary lien holder. Research comparable sales in the area. Your REALTOR can provide all of this for you.
4. Have a home inspection
Short sales are typically sold “as is,” with no contingencies allowed. That short sale is no bargain if you discover—after the closing—that it requires major, unexpected repairs. A thorough home inspection will provide a clear view of the home’s condition, allowing you to make educated decisions on whether or not to purchase.
5. Write a complete offer
Remember, the lender—not the owner selling the property—is calling the shots and decides whether your offer will be accepted, rejected or countered. Helping the lender, whose agents may be overloaded with a glut of short sales, fully understand the financial picture will support your bid. There is a lot of material that will be included in your short sale offer. Your REALTOR will guide you through the process.
6. Negotiate
Like any real estate transaction, successful negotiation is required to strike a deal. If the lender rejects or counters your written offer, you’ll have to negotiate with the lender by making a higher offer. Your REALTOR will help you, but be prepared to offer more money to close the deal, or to walk away if it doesn’t make financial sense.
7. Be Patient
Short sales, which have increased in volume and frequency, are overloading some lenders. Be aware that processing and decision-making times for some lenders can be quite long—up to a year or more. Decide if you have flexibility in your timing, and if so, know that you may be waiting for awhile.

comes with .64 acres and over 1700 sf. Great price and plenty of room. Check out all info at http://www.exite-listings.com/57232. Can also search for all available homes at www.exitrealtydeaton.com.
This week’s interest rates on a 30 yr mortgage dropped to as low as 4.4%. Fox news reports that homes haven’t been this affordable to buyers since….well who knows, but it has been a long, long time. Remember the phrase “Perfect Storm”. So here is your recipe for buyer success - mix 1 part high inventory of available homes, and 1 part low prices, with 1 part extremely low interest rates. BAM! Best tasting thing ever. Remember, it is the smart investor who purchases when it cost the least. Don’t wait like the majority and buy when the prices start to go up. This causes a panic which causes prices to go up faster.

Yep, interest rates are still low. As low as 4.5%! That is HUGE. Buyers, please don’t think they will go any lower. Don’t wait around or it will cost you money over the long haul. Rates this low means it is definitely time to buy. Housing inventory is higher, providing more option and better deals. Some of you are the eternal optimist and will wait cause ‘it might get better’. DON’T WAIT. It won’t get any better than it is right now. Here is a prediction from Moody’s Economy.com chief economist Mark Zandi,
“Expect rates to close in on 5% by year’s end and over 6% next year.” Bankrate.com columnist Holden Lewis said, “I wouldn’t bet my mortgage payment on rates remaining this low for a long time. If I were refinancing, I would lock now instead of floating in hopes of rates falling further. I think there’s a greater possibility of rates rising than falling.” The predicted increase in rates could cost you hundreds of dollars each month. What could you do with that extra monthly savings by buying now at these interest rates? New furniture, new car, vacations. All of this paid for because you are saving so much money on your mortgage.
