When Interest Rates are Low is Now the Time to Get a Mortgage

This is another great video on mortgage interest rates and how they affect the payments and amount paid over the life of the loan.  These videos remind me of the old "School House Rocks" videos without the music. 

If you need assistance finding a lender to help explain the mortgage process to you I recommend Melissa Schwatz with Asset Mortgage.  Give her a call at 919-795-5849

Great 1st Time Buyer Tax Credit Video - Time is Running Out!

09-09-09
Sheri Moritz

With the all the hype for the end of the $8,000 tax credit I am always addressed with questions that seem to have an easy answer but apparently the message may not be getting across clearly.  This is a great video I came across today that I thought explained it in that elementary school style we all seem to love.  Complete with a happy ever after story and stick people:)  Oh, don't forget about the garbage bags full of money either!

For more information on the tax credit or purchasing a home please contact Real Living Realty Experts at 919-387-4100 or send me and email. We are happy to help.

FHA on Track for Busiest Year as it Backs 23 Percent of Mortgages

09-03-09
Sheri Moritz

Almost a year after the federal government launched its rescue of the housing market, nearly one in four new mortgages is insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Eighty percent of the FHA mortgages for purchasing homes went to first-time buyers drawn to the FHA's low-down payment requirements.

Have you seen a surge in FHA loans? I personally have seen more USDA loans in the past 6 months as I have for the past 5 years. The draw for 1st time buyers is no money down and taking advantage of the 1st time home buyer tax credit.

Speechless Sunday - New Born Baby Deer in the Yard!

Speechless Sunday - Baby Deer

We have 2 six acre ponds in the back yard so we see deer at least 2-3 times per day. As the baby and I were walking this week we saw this baby deer laying near a tree. It was the smallest deer I have ever seen. We thought that it was hurt so we quitely walked up to it. It stayed there long enough for us to go in and get our camera. When we go too close he/she decided to let us know they weren't hurt as he/she went to find it's mommy! I was worried when the little guy ran off scared that he would get lost or hurt but I saw him with his mom in the yard yesterday. You can tell how small he was if you compare to the size of the bark on the tree. It was much smaller than our 18 lb dog that stands 15 inches.
