Don't expect homes to get much cheaper
Buying a home may never get any cheaper than now. Several housing experts are predicting that this year will be the last chance for bargain hunters to cash in on the best deals of the weak housing market.
Homes have never been more affordable with prices down 34% nationally since 2006 and mortgage rates at historic lows, but it won't stay this way for much longer.

Numbers point to a solid winter rebound in the housing market
Government figures for the previous two months were revised and the numbers are much higher than previously figured. This points to a solid winter rebound in the housing market.
Helped by low prices, record low mortgage rates and an increase in hiring that has lowered the unemployment rate, the battered housing market has been showing signs of recovery so far this year.
It is now cheaper to buy a home than rent in much of the country.
If you are in the market to buy, rent or sell, contact Rogers Healy.

Athlete + Realtor = Home
This formula is not your ordinary math formula as most people either hate math or love it. This one is a simple equation using two variables; Athlete and Realtor joined by an operator (+) to equal to results… A Home… sort of like a+b=c…
See most athletes are too busy to find there on place to live… why because they have to work by traveling to play in games, making appearances at schools, being role models for kids. After all that they are just tired and would like for someone to help… That’s where I come in.

Mortgage delinquencies & foreclosure rates are projected to decline in 2012 according to new study.
A recent article published from Main Street reports that severe mortgage delinquencies (home payments 90+ days late) are declining.
In December 2009 late delinquencies were at 10.4 percent, however in June 2011 the rate decreased to 9.3 percent. This figure is still high, but an improvement none the less.
