Mortgage bond prices were only slightly higher last week, which kept mortgage interest rates in check, but up a bit due to unfriendly data today. There were rate improvements throughout the middle of the week tied to weaker than expected ADP employment figures. Unfortunately, a lot of those gains were erased Friday morning with the release of the employment report. Unemployment came in @ 8.3% which was better than the expected 8.5% mark. Payrolls increased 243k, which was considerably stronger than the expected 155k increase. Stocks rallied and MBS prices fell as a result.
Below are interest rates heading into the weekend:
Conventional Conforming (loan amounts $417K and below):
30 Year Fixed: 3.875% with 0 points

According to Punxsutawney Phil, who saw his shadow on Groundhog Day, there are six more weeks of winter ahead. With the potential for cold and inclement weather on the horizon, it is an opportune time to make sure the interior and exterior of your home are adequately prepared.
If you haven’t done so already, spend some time taking care of these winterizing tasks:
Heating a home is expensive, and you can keep costs down by caulking any cracks around windows and doors that let cold air in and heat escape. You should also be sure to clean or replace furnace filters to help your heating system run more efficiently and effectively.
Clear all debris from your gutters, even if you have a covered gutter system. Any leaves or other materials left in the gutters can freeze and damage the gutters themselves, and could also force freezing water up under your shingles and damage the roof.
Be prepared with everything you need in the event of a big snow storm. This includes tools for removing snow, such as a snow blower with a full tank of gas, shovels and a melting agent such as rock salt. No less important are items like extra blankets, warm clothing, and enough food and water to sustain your family in case of a few days of isolation.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), existing-home sales rose 5 percent in December and were 3.6 percent higher than in December 2010. This is the third consecutive month that existing-home sales have improved.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said these are early signs of what may be a sustained recovery. “The pattern of home sales in recent months demonstrates a market in recovery,” he said. “Record low mortgage interest rates, job growth and bargain home prices are giving more consumers the confidence they need to enter the market.”
Total housing inventory at the end of December dropped 9.2 percent to a 6.2-month supply at the current sales pace. Available inventory has trended down since setting a record in July 2007, and is at the lowest level since March 2005.
“The inventory supply suggests many markets will see prices stabilize or grow moderately in the near future,” Yun said.
Regionally, existing-home sales in the Northeast jumped 10.7 percent in December and are 3.3 percent above a year ago.

The beginning of a new year is always a time to reflect and consider goals and opportunities for the year ahead. As we begin 2012, there are many reasons for encouragement when it comes to the economy and real estate. If recent economic and real estate trends are any indication, 2012 will be a year when good things can happen not only for potential homebuyers and sellers, but for the country as a whole.
For example:
Existing-home sales rose again in November, and remain at levels above those of a year ago. What’s more, pending home sales also continued to gain in November, reaching the highest level in 19 months, an indication that there will be more future sales.
In November, sales of new single-family houses rose 1.6 percent from October and were 9.8 percent above November 2010. Additionally, housing starts surged to a one-and-a-half year high in November, and permits for future construction were the highest since March 2010.
In a sign that the overall economy is strengthening, U.S. employment has grown solidly for the past six months, generating 100,000 jobs or more in each month for the first time since April 2006.
The Conference Board’s Index of Leading Economic Indicators showed two months of solid gains, signaling that the economy was gaining momentum and the risks of a recession were receding, and its Consumer Confidence Index improved to levels seen in April 2011.

The new year provides an opportunity to start fresh and develop goals and resolutions for the coming year. Some people strive toward financial aspirations or a professional achievement, while others might choose to pursue a lifelong goal, such as owning a home.
If 2012 is the year to achieve your dream of homeownership, the following tips may be helpful:
Talk to the experts. Work with a real estate professional, lender and attorney who are familiar with the area in which you would like to buy a home. A real estate agent can provide you with expert knowledge about the local market, including information about community life and specific neighborhoods, and will be a useful resource throughout the entire process as he or she guides you from the initial search through closing on the purchase of your new home.
Be smart about financing. You may have savings allotted to cover your downpayment, but don't forget about other upfront expenses like closing and inspection costs. Look into the many programs available to help you reduce upfront costs. Also, get pre-approved as soon as possible to help you develop a budget, understand what price range you can afford and set realistic expectations.
Determine your preferences. Speak to your real estate agent and browse online for homes that meet your criteria. Many websites, including Weichert.com, allow you to see multiple photos, view school and neighborhood information and set up e-mail alerts to notify you of new listings. Before you begin looking at homes, be sure you have a clear idea of what your wants and needs are, as well as the price you are willing and able to pay.

Rob & Jeannie are a love story which goes back much further than the 25 years that they've been married. In fact it goes back to some ten years before their wedding day when they met in Junior High School. Both were in the trumpet section of the school orchestra. But over the summer of 1976, Jeannie 's family packed up and moved to Nashville, Tennessee where she would remain until returning to Maryland in 1986, upon where she looked up Rob, and the rest as they say is history.
Not only partners in life, Rob & Jeannie are partners in business. After years of investing in real estate and realizing their own personal goals and dreams come true, they've embarked on a career of helping other people achieve their goals of security and equitable wealth in the ownership of real property. The buying and/or selling of your home is quite possibly the most important decision you'll make that impacts your life in the present, and may well into the future. Rob & Jeannie never lose site of this fact. They approach this from the direction of serving the interests of every client as if they were their personal own. This unique attitude and business model provides the main difference between them and the rest of the pack, placing them in a whole new category of real estate professionals. The difference is in the motivation. They desire to put forth the very best effort in every aspect of working for you, and this is evident in the results they achieve for you. Success comes easy when you are consistently doing the next right thing.

Rob and Jeannie provided excellent service throughout the home buying process. As first time home buyers my wife and I were a little nervous to initiate the process. Rob and Jeannie were very thorough in attempting to meet our needs. They were extremely organized and prompt in responding to all of our concerns. We are extremely happy with our new home and our choice in realtors.

5.0 stars review by BKJ ~BJK sold & bought a house with <!-- --><!-- -->Rob & Jeannie Steward and <!-- -->would recommend them to other home buyers.
Rob and Jeannie were a great team in selling and buying a new home. In a tough sellers' market, they helped us sell our home at a maximum price within several months. Despite buying the home several years prior during the end of the market hype, we still walked away with a 17% capital gain - quite incredible considering most sellers are loosing 10-20% under the same conditions. On the buying end, they were very knowledgeable of the market, skilled in negotiations, and very patient and helped us find the property of our dreams. Being that they are a husband and wife duo, this was an added plus in that availability to our realtors was seldom an issue; even under short notice, Rob or Jeannie could find a way to come through

5.0 stars review by SLD: Steve & Sue bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie and would recommend them to other home buyers.
"R & J helped us find the house that fit our budget and lifestyles. Their introduction to the nuances of the local communities in the Montgomery and Frederick counties was invaluable to our search strategy as we undertook this househunting endeavor as part of a quick job relocation from the west coast. They provided comparable home pricing data and market data in a timely manner allowing us to make decisions in a fully informed manner. I would recommend their services to anyone considering buying a home in this area."

"Rob & Jeannie were most professional and courteous. They were extremely patient with our specific housing requirements. We were emerging from a short-sale experience in South Florida, so our credit report was not in its typical high standing. Rob & Jeannie represented us very well the the owners resulting in reaching a successful agreement. When we are ready to purchase again, we will most certainly call upon them again for their assistance. Thank you very much." ~ Michael & Betty Monaghan

5.0 stars review by Joshua L Hernandez: Joshua bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie and would recommend them to other home buyers.
Rob and Jeannie worked diligently walking me through every step of the way to get from renting to owning, and the journey was rocky. It was a huge asset having double the coverage; they made sure to keep me in the loop and promptly answered any and all questions. If you have the opportunity to work with them sign up quick fast and in a hurry, they have this business down to a fine art."

1st Time Homebuyer Finds An Excellent Deal - Matthew Bess bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie and would recommend them to other home buyers.
"Frankly, I picked up Rob and Jeannie as my realtors through chance. The first townhouses I wanted to look at were associated with them - and we met at the site. Immediately I got a pretty good feeling about the two of them - they communicated well with me, and importantly, Rob and Jeannie had a "checks and balances" system with each other - each kept the other true and honest - as either a fact checker or as a Devil's advocate. Regardless, I started working with them, they were very responsive to my e-mails and questions and really did everything I asked in a timely manner. When I found a house I was willing to make an offer on, they sent me a CMA of adjacent houses and I was able to comfortably determine how much the townhouse was worth (as compared to the original inflated asking price). And next thing I know, my bid was accepted and Rob and Jeannie were doing the heavy lifting to communicate with the foreclosure company. They did a wonderful job running interference for me with the foreclosure group that proved to be difficult and frustrating. Without them I wouldn't have gotten through this, and I am confident that without them I would not have purchased my first home with equity (which is unheard of during these tough economic times)."

Rob and Jeannie: Most Professional & Diligent - Austin & Omnia bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie and would recommend them to other home buyers.
"My wife and I just purchased our first condo thanks to tireless efforts of Rob and Jeannie Steward. Our house hunt began in late October of 2010 and we settled in March of 2011. Rob and Jeannie were always available for questions, concerns and those episodes of anxiety. There were times when we requested to see properties and Rob and Jeannie would rearrange their schedules so we can view them within hours of the request. They were even responsive on holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas)!!
During showings, Rob and Jeannie would do a thorough inspection of each property (and we saw over 40) to check for plumbing issues, mold, electrical issues, etc. We knew we were in good hands and could trust the advise of Rob and Jeannie. They are very knowledgeable and do their research of each property. Rob and Jeannie did an amazing job with the settlement of our condo.
They recommended a very thorough inspector and an amazing lender. They negotiated a new water heater from a seller that was really firm on not making any updates to the place. We are so happy with our new home and have Rob and Jeannie to thank for that. They are extremely professional and responsive. They want what is best for their clients.
We feel very lucky that Rob answered the phone the day we first called Weichert to inquire on a property. They definitely eased, what is usually a very stressful process. We will definitely recommend Rob and Jeannie to everybody we know buying/selling their properties. I know my wife and I will be in touch with Rob and Jeannie for all of our real estate needs."

OUR PURCHASING EXPERIENCE - Paul Lipson bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie Steward and would recommend them to other home buyers.
"Rob and Jeannie represented us in the purchase of a four bedroom home in Historic Rockville. The search logistics were challenging because we were out-of-state buyers and had to drive four hours to view properties. We also needed wheelchair access. Rob and Jeannie e-mailed us listings daily and researched properties we found on the internet. Perhaps most importantly, they arranged to show eight or more properties on each of our extended weekend visits. We made several of those visits between March and July 2010. We were impressed by the Stewards' ability to organize it all; a talent again in evidence as we moved through contract negotiations and pre-settlement work. They were knowledgeable of the market, sensitive to our requirements and always available for questions. We would be pleased to work with them again."

Fabulous Service! We will use them in the future!! - Robert & Gwynne Lammon bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie and would recommend them to other home buyers.
"We couldn't be happier! Our dogs Cooper and Honey are enjoying the freedom of having their very own backyard. All of this happiness could not have been possible without Rob and Jeannie! From the moment we met with them we knew we were in good hands. Not once did we ever doubt their confidence in finding us our first home. They had professionalism and patience showing us several dozen properties. We wrote several contracts until we found the one that stuck, and it was the perfect place to call our own. We came away from our experience as first time home buyers actually enjoying the whole process from start to finish! We really can't put into words just how much we enjoyed working with Rob and Jeannie. They're the best!"

"I purchased a condominium recently and dealt with Weichert realtors Rob and Jeannie Steward. This was a first time home purchase for me so it was very confusing and very unfamiliar to me. Rob and Jeannie were so helpful, supportive, and made this experience very pleasant and understandable for me. They were in constant contact with me and answered all of my questions very timely and thoroughly. You can tell that they really love what they do and really do care about their clients.

Dedicated Agents - BJE bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie and would recommend them to other home buyers.
"Incredible service. I have purchased 8 homes over the years. Rob and Jeannie spent a great deal of time with us in connection with a small purchase. I was worried that I would not get great service because we were looking at purchasing only a small place. But from the moment I called Rob, Rob and Jeannie worked harder that any agents I can remember to help us find the right purchase. After signing a contract, they stayed on top of every detail of the transaction warning me of upcoming deadlines and making certain the closing went smoothly. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking knowledgable agents who will do everything than can to make a difficult process as easy as possible"

Excellent Purchase and Excellent Services. - Michael Depaula bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie and would recommend them to other home buyers.
"I visited Rob and Jeannie for the first time over a year and a half ago with the intent to purchase a home. Since it was the first time buying a home, I found myself a bit lost. Rob and Jeannie took with great care the time and attention to find me exactly what I wanted. They were loyal to find me a home that would meet my needs emotionally and financially. They guided me through the entire process and continue to provide support and care to any assistance I may need post my home ownership. They are committed, dedicated and I also consider them friends, because that is how they had treated me from day one. I definitely recommend them as agents and I guarantee that they will stick around until they deliver exactly what you need. I could not have purchased a better home. Thanks Rob and Jeannie!

Best Agents Ever!!! Erfan Khazaee bought a previous house with Rob & Jeannie and would recommend them to other home buyers.
"I was in the market for well over a year and working with two different agents (1 was a family friend). I came into Rob and Jeannie's office totally by chance to work with the loan agent there. However I met with Realtors Rob and Jeannie and very quickly I could tell that they were different from the other agents I had previously worked with. They actually cared, and they pointed out all of the negatives of any houses which we were considering. It felt as though they were also going to purchase that home as one of their own which made this often confusing process the best experience. I would recommend them to everyone. They worked very hard, and even after the purchase of the home they still kept very good contact with us, and I was able to contact them about any issues I had after the settlement and they were very responsive. To put it plainly, they are just the best!!!"

"We were glad they were our agents and able to get this deal through to the finish line. It is amazing how many different ways there are to buy/sell houses, and this one was a very unusual situation. Their combined effort made this possible and prevented much further delays. Great thanks to you both."
