  Marion and I have discovered what is at the end of the rainbow...Hawaii! Last week we returned from our cruise around the Hawaiian Islands.  It was so beautiful I can't even begin to describe it.  I'm not going to go into too much detail as I know it will make ya'll green with envy.  I just want to say that it was absolutely the most relaxing and enjoyable trip I have had in quite a while.  Cruising with a group is a great way to travel.  You can have as much together time or alone time as you want.  We would take our excursions during the day and share our experiences at dinner.  Travelling with enjoyable people to a fantastic destination is the best medicine for the winter doldrums. But for now it is back to work... While we were away it seems that nothing monumental happened.  Our ...

It is no secret that both the residential and commercial real estate communities across the country are bracing for challenging times in 2009. All of us need to be thankful that the Montgomery County and Houston area have been somewhat insulated, but certainly not immune to the challenges affecting the rest of the nation. Charles Gibson of ABC News was in Houston on Monday & Tuesday (March 23rd & 24th) reporting that Houston is one of the last regions in our country to feel the painful effects of the recession.  He also reported that the overall unemployment rate in the nation is 8.5%, whereas the Houston area is 6.5% - the lowest in the nation. In my opinion and backed up by market data, the reason that Montgomery County and the Houston area are the last regions in the country to feel ...

Things in the real estate industry continue to change on a daily basis to help balance the problems that the economy has created.  Also because other areas of the country are facing big hurdles in their markets, the trickle down effect is very much in play. Thankfully for those of us in Montgomery County, the market here is not as foreboding as many states.  We are fortunate that although we have felt the result of the negative information out there, our market is still strong and steady. What has resulted in our area however, are homes not moving as quickly as they did a year ago.  With the mortgage fraud, tighter guidelines have been set in place and lending standards are tougher.  This is good overall for our industry in the long run. What all of this means to Seller's right now is t...

You've made the big decision to sell your home!  The all important question then begins - how do I price my home effectively? This is one of the most important decisions that Seller's must consider when making the decision to put their home on the market.  Because of the changes in the mortgage industry affecting the tightening of the appraisals on homes, pricing becomes even more important. Choosing a Realtor with experience and a proven track record is key.  A Realtor who has been through many different markets will know the keys to success in correctly pricing a home.  The challenge for realtors however, are the many Seller's that are still viewing their home with too much emotion. A very important aspect for every Seller to understand prior to putting their home on the market is loo...

In our current economic climate, it is more important than ever to have good credit scores.  Conditions always favor those with better credit scores along with more equity when lending money.  Lenders are now looking much harder at proof of income and employment than they were a year ago. A local mortgage broker states that, "A credit score of 620 and up for an FHA loan and a score of 720 and up for a conventional score, are the new standards."  What this means is anything less than those standard scores will result in taking a higher hit on your rates.  If you want the best rates, you will need to meet the minimum standards set for the credit score. So what can you do if your credit scores are not where you want them to be?  Your first step is finding out what they are and then keeping...
