Don't forget to move your clocks forward one hour before going to bed tonight for Daylight Saving Time.

Interest rates took a dip today.  They are below 5% again.  If you have ever considered buying, now is the time.  $5.30 for every $1,000 is a good way to calculate your mortgage payment.  5.30 x 200 (for a $200k house) = $1,060 a month for a mortgage. 

I can also get you a Rural Housing loan if you have the qualifications.  620 or higher credit score.  If your credit is below that I can show you how to get your score up fast. RHD is a no money down payment program.  Almost the entire St. Tammany Parrish is within the RHD area.  This means you don't have to buy a home out in the country.

Save Thousands of Dollars by choosing a Realtor!

Let’s face it, money is a huge motivator especially in today's economy and the surliest sign of intelligence is a person who saves money.  Did you know that the National Association Realtors shows us that home owners who choose a "highly successful Realtor" actually save an average of 9% on the sale of their home, thus saving the brokerage fee cost.  The biggest savings for consumers comes from negotiation contracts, pricing the home for maximum profits and time on the market. 

It cost home owners each month a home goes with out selling.  Consider mortgage, taxes, utilities, maintenance and upkeep just to name a few.  A fast sale allows home owners to take advantage of the historically low interest rates.  If your not buying, considerer the buyers purchasing homes.  Rate hikes discourage them from buying and some have to drop down in the price of a home in order to qualify at the increased rate.

If savings thousands of dollars on the sale of your home interest you, give me a call. . .985-674-1111
