Current Rates and Financial Commentary

Interest Rates

The 30 year fixed rate inched up slightly today. The 30 year fixed rate is now at 4.875% for loans from $200,000 to $417,000 with a 740 credit score and a minimum down payment of 10%.

Financial Commentary

Investors are starting to get a little skittish about absorbing large quantities of government debt as they are asked to take on substantial inflation risk in return for very little reward. While Uncle Sam has had no trouble placing short-term debt with maturities up to 2-years - he has begun to find that longer-dated securities are increasingly harder to sell. The market is so volatile that it is extremely hard to figure out what Uncle Sam will do next. Interest rates are still great. It is an ideal time to purchase a home, especially for first time home buyers with a great tax credit incentive.

History of Eagle, WI The area received its name when, in 1836, Thomas Sugden, John Coats and Mr. Garton came to a beautiful prairie and saw a "huge" bald headed eagle soaring overhead. The first claim was made by A.R. Hinkley but the first permanent settlers were E. Thomas and wife, who erected a house in 1836. Before the end of that year, the first mill in the town of Eagle was built in Eagleville. When the southern branch of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad came through the town in 1851, the village of Eagle Center was created, leading to the eventual decline of other villages in the township. With the passing of time, the village name evolved to Eagle.

History of Eagle, WI By 1880, the village was considered the third ranking community in the country in terms of commercial importance. It could boast two dry goods houses, two hardware stores, two clothing and tailoring establishments, a butcher shop, grocer, harness shop, milliners, saloons, and a grain elevator and warehouse.

History of Eagle, WI Eagle was nearly renamed Diamond City in the mid-1800s when it became known that a diamond had been discovered here in 1876. While digging a well at summit of what is today called Diamond Hill, workers found a yellow pebble, which was eventually identified as one of the largest glacial diamonds ever found in the United States. The diamond ended up at New York's American Museum of Natural History. In 1964, it was stolen along with several other gems, including the Star of India sapphire. Never recovered, the Eagle Diamond was likely cut and fenced.

Blessed with fine natural springs, the town of Eagle became known for resorts like Eagle Springs and Paradise Springs. Called Minnehaha Springs at the time, Paradise Springs was once owned by Louis J. Petit, the Morton Salt king. Eagle's transition from an economy based on agricultural and railroads to one of recreation and tourism was furthered during the 1950s and 1960s as the state acquired land for the Southern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. In 1976, Old World Wisconsin, and outdoor living ethnic history museum, opened. That same year, the Queen of Denmark visited Eagle to attend the dedication of the Danish Farmstead at Old World Wisconsin.

Waukesha County Condo Market

Waukesha County Condo Market Statistical Summary

Currently Active on the market

825 Condos Currently on the market.

Average list price of $257,398.00 (Remember, these are condos that have not sold, so one could assume, on average, they are asking too much.)

Another indicator are the days on the market (DOM).

Of these active listings, the average(DOM) is 166.

The Last 6 Months of Condo Sales

Since October 24, 2008.

161 condos have sold.

Median sale price of $175,000

Average sale price of $209,800

Average DOM 141

Pending Sales since February 24, 2009

17 condos are waiting to close.

We do not know what the sale price will be until after closing, but here is what we do know.

Median asking price is $207,000

Average asking price is $204,088

Average DOM 122

What does this tell us? Well, obviously we have a lot of inventory out here in Waukesha County. With 825 condos on the market, it will take a while to sell off the majority of the inventory if we use the past 6 month trend of 161 sold. The bright side however is that the past 6 months are probably the worst months in Wisconsin and some of this spring weather, tax incentives and low interest rates will help increase the rate of condo sales.

Thesis papers could be written on how to analyze the above statistics. My goal is to provide you the very basics and encourage sellers, that no matter what price range you are in, make sure you are competitive!!!

Here at Response Realtors, we want to help assist you in navigating through the current market trends and get you to a successful closing.

Now is the time to call Greg Cavaiani to guide you through any property you or someone you know needs assistance. Or,, if you are looking for a career change and hear how Response Realtors has been received by the community, don't hesitate to contact us.

Financial Commentary and Interest Rates

Good Morning

The 30 year fixed dropped yesterday and still low today. the 30 year fixed rate is now at 4.75% for loans from $200,000 to $417,000 with a 740 credit score and a minimum down payment of 10%. See the attached Mortgage Plans and Rates for more details.

Commentary:

In a surprise move on Wednesday, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and the other members of the Federal Open market Committee stunned the credit markets with their announced plans to buy up to an additional $750 billion of mortgage-backed securities. The result for now is lower interest rates on mortgages. The concern is that this could wind up hurting the dollar and causing inflation.

All for now. Time will tell the whole story

Thank you Ralph for the above information (Ralph Leach, Loan Officer, Ameristar Mortgage Corporation, Cell 414-202-8093 )
