HOME

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

Homebuyers Face the Opportunity of a Lifetime Mortgage rates in December stood near lows last seen during the Truman administration while home prices are at ten year lows in some neighborhoods. The combination made housing affordability, as measured by the National Association of REALTORS®, the highest since NAR® launched its Affordability Index in 1973.

Housing inventory is also abundant in many markets, thus enabling first-time, re-entry or investors to secure good homes and pave the way to their financial futures. Indeed, homes and their long-term virtues of shelter, wealthbuilding and personal and civic pride are available at bargain-basement prices that will not and cannot last.

Knowledge is power – Nine out of every 10 home searches today begin on the Internet.

With just a few mouse clicks, you can peruse neighborhoods, search countless online listings and take virtual tours packed with detailed photographs. The process gives

you working knowledge of home availability and pricing in your local markets so by the time you sit down with your real estate sales professional you’re well on your way.

Affordability – Costs can seem overwhelming to first-time homebuyers. Looking at your income and debt ratio can help you calculate how much you can afford each month in mortgage payments. But before determining your price range, you should also take into consideration other factors that will affect your monthly budget once you are a homeowner, such as property taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance.

Mortgage payment – In today’s buyer’s market, you will face competition for your dream home. To establish your spending limit and gain the ability to move quickly on a home, get pre-approved for a loan before you start looking. This entails making a full application and obtaining a credit report. The fact that your loan has already been approved is of great value to the seller because it shortens the purchase process and solidifies your position as a qualified and serious buyer.

If you don’t have a specific mortgage lender in mind, call me for a recommendation. Even if you do not think you will qualify today, a loan professional can help you develop a plan of action for the future.

Down payment – The down payment amount varies depending on the value of the home you choose and your mortgage lender but

can be as little as 3.5% for owner occupied homes or ZERO down for VA borrowers.

Closing costs must be factored in as well.

These costs will vary depending on the purchase price but generally run about 4%. In the current market most sellers are willing to credit 3% to the buyer for closing costs. Your real estate professional will be able to explain your options.

Making offers – Do not be afraid to do a little shopping, preview homes that meet your criteria and visit the ones you like again to see things you might have missed. Work with your Realtor to get all of your questions answered before making an offer. Remember, there are no silly questions. Make sure you understand and are comfortable with every aspect of the transaction.

Indeed, home ownership remains a sound financial decision and a key component of long-term financial planning. Buyers can secure their dreams and build for their futures at some of the most attractive values in years.

All You Can Eat Taco Dinner $8 per plate Friendly Visitors, headed by Meals on Wheels by Senior Outreach, is looking for volunteers to visit lonely Seniors in their homes.

These visits are primarily social and help to keep seniors connected and engaged- reducing depression and isolation and supporting independence. We are looking for caring and compassionate volunteers, age 18 and up, who have one hour per week and will commit to a six month period. Share a cup of tea, watch a movie, play cards, or take a walk together.

To learn more about the program, please see our website at

www.mowsos.org

All proceeds to benefit the Santa Sack Program also known as Jackie’s Kids. This means every meal purchased helps to buy toys, games, clothes and food or children in the Bethel Island area who otherwise would have a dismal Christmas.

GET YOUR GARDEN GROWING DIG was founded in June 1988 by Pat Moore. It started with a membership of about fourteen and has grown to one hundred at present. Members come from all over east county and elsewhere. Anyone is eligible to join and the dues are $15.00 per year.

Our purpose is to encourage interest in gardening through education and the beautification of the community. The mission of DIG is donating garden books, tapes and videos to the local library, providing scholarships to local students, hosting informational speakers and participating in the community gardening projects. Our annual fundraiser/plant sale consists of 10,000 plants. (Annuals and perennials, flowers, trees, herbs, tomatoes, cacti and succulents. These are all grown by the members propagating what we have planted.) For more information call Jon Bergstrom (925) 240-6060.
