Is It Getting More Affordable To Buy a Home?Over the past year or so, a lot of people have been talking about how tough it is to buy a home. And while there’s no arguing affordability is still tight, there are signs it’s starting to get a bit better and may improve even more throughout the year. Elijah de la Campa, Senior Economist at Redfin, says:“We’re slowly climbing our way out of an affordability hole, but we have a long way to go. Rates have come down from their peak and are expected to fall again by the end of the year, which should make homebuying a little more affordable and incentivize buyers to come off the sidelines.”1. Mortgage RatesMortgage rates have been volatile this year – bouncing around in the upper 6% to low 7% range. That’s still quite a bit higher than where they ...

Thinking about moving up in Scottsdale? Think about these questions: 1. Do you have enough equity to finance a down payment on a new home? Most conventional lenders look for at least 10% down. FHA will guarantee loans with 5% down. 2. Can you afford a bigger mortgage? Can you afford the expense of moving? Check out this mortgage calculator. 3. Does your current Scottsdale or Phoenix neighborhood still meet your needs? 4. Might it make more sense to renovate your current home than to sell it and buy a new one? Remember that you probably won’t get back 100% of the money you spend on the remodel -- do it for you, not because it will increase your home’s salability. 5. What’s the Scottsdale real estate market like? Will you be able to sell your home for a good price? Will you be able to buy...

When you decide the time is right to buy a Scottsdale AZ home the first step is finding a lender, but there are a few options to consider.  Banks, mortgage brokers, internet lenders and home builders all offer different types of financing. To choose the type of lender that works best for you it is important to understand the pros and cons of each. Banks offer the safety and security of federal regulation.  In addition, if you have been with a particular bank for a while and have a good working relationship there you may qualify for better rates.  The downside of choosing a bank is that they often don't offer the best rates. Mortgage brokers have access to many different money sources and they shop around to secure the best rates.  The downside of a mortgage broker is that they can add ...

Feng Shui Tip for March: Ro Rusnock Scottsdale Arizona After receiving this wonderful post from my local Feng Shui Master, Ro Rusnock, I imagined it would be great to pass her information onto others.  She is a living, breathing expression of prosperity in all ways!  Enjoy her post! Feng Shui Tip for March: "Create a space for the wonderful things you are intending to bring into your life."  Everyone has heard of "Spring Cleaning"!

It Depends... Being in the real estate industry I'm sure you've heard attorneys say IT DEPENDS often enough, right.  Today I had a shocker of a story.  All I kept thinking was IT DEPENDS. Question: So what happens if the seller failed to disclose that they had major roof leaks, had it repaired but not replaced and covered that fact up.  Do I have any recourse?  Answer:  It Depends... Question: After I bought the house I discovered the addition was not properly permitted as had been disclosed by the seller.  Do I have any recourse? Answer:  It Depends... Question: After moving into the house and discovering water damage behind cabinets I had a mold test done and it came out positive for mold. The inspector told me normal was 300 and it read 26,000.  Do I have any recourse? Answer:  It De...
