...Pliny the Elder
Have you ever heard of Gaius Plinius Secundus? Perhaps you may know him by his more common name, Pliny the Elder? Still doesn’t ring a bell? You probably know one of his more well-known quotes – “Home is where the heart is” Interestingly, Pliny the Elder lived in Rome during the first century A.D., and he already knew way back then the connection between heart and home. Times have sure changed over the centuries, but our warm affection for our homes has not. Many times we think back to our childhood homes with fond memories of growing up and the security of our own home. Take a look through this issue of the Gambino Home Guide and see if your heart leads you to a new home! I think Dorothy Gale in the Wizard of Oz said it best, “There’s no place like home”
The Gambino Home Guide is a presentation of properties for sale in the Northern Illinois region.

DON’T WAIT FOR A LOWER MORTGAGE RATE – IT COULD COST YOU Even today, our mortgage rates are below what they’ve been in recent decades. Today’s housing market is truly one for the record books. Over the past year, we’ve seen the lowest mortgage rates in history. And while those rates seemed to bottom out in January of this year, the golden window of opportunity for buyers isn’t over just yet. If you’re one of the buyers who worry they’ve missed out, rest assured today’s mortgage rates are still worth taking advantage of. Even today, our mortgage rates are below what they’ve been in recent decades. So, while you may not be able to lock in the rate your friend got
recently, you’re still in a great position to secure a rate well below what your parents and even grandparents got in years past. The key will be acting sooner rather than later. In late September, mortgage rates ticked above 3% for the first time in months. And according to experts throughout the industry, mortgage rates are projected to continue rising in the months ahead. The chart in Exhibit A on the folliwing page lays out where experts say rates are headed. While a projected half

Exhibit A
percentage point increase may not seem substantial, it does have an impact when you’re buying a home. When rates rise even slightly, it affects how much you’ll pay month-to-month on your home loan. The chart in Exhibit B above on right side shows how it works.
Exhibit B
Waiting for a lower mortgage rate could cost you. Experts project rates will continue to rise in the months ahead. Call Gambino Realtors at 815.282.2222 so you can seize this opportunity before they increase further.
In this example, if rates rise to 3.55%, you’ll pay an extra $100 each month on your monthly mortgage payment if you purchase a home around this time next year. That extra money can really add up over the life of a 15 or 30-year loan. Clearly, today’s mortgage rates are worth taking advantage of before they climb further. The rates we’re seeing right now give you a unique opportunity to afford more home for your money while keeping your monthly payment down. www.GoGambino.com | 5

HOUSING CHALLENGE OR HOUSING OPPORTUNITY? IT DEPENDS. The biggest challenge in real estate today is the lack of available homes for sale. The low housing supply has caused homes throughout the country to appreciate at a much faster rate than what we’ve experienced historically.
the average home in our area has increased over the past year.
There are many reasons for the limited number of homes on the market, but as you can see in the graph below, we’re well below where we’ve been for most of the past 10 years. Today, across the country, there is only a 2.4-month supply of homes available for sale.
Prices are up $21,000+ in one year. The three-month-rolling average price of a home sold in Winnebago, Boone and Ogle Counties rose to $179,351, more than $21,000 than last September’s average price of $158,240, a significant 14.7% growth.
This lack of homes for sale is creating a challenge for many buyers who are growing frustrated in their search. On the other hand, this is a huge opportunity for sellers as low supply is driving up home values. And for many homeowners, that’s opening new doors as they re-think their needs and use their equity to move up or downsize. According to the Rockford Association of Realtors (RAAR),
September housing statistics from RAAR show that the explosive growth rate in housing prices reached a new high in September.
For this reason, many sellers are taking advantage of low interest rates and the equity they have in their homes to make a move. The biggest challenge in real estate is the lack of homes for sale, but this challenge is also an opportunity for sellers. If you’re thinking about selling your house, let’s connect to start the process. Call Gambino Realtors at 815.282.2222. www.GoGambino.com | 21
