Every year at this time, many homeowners decide to wait until after the holidays to put their homes on the market for the first time, while others who already have their homes on the market decide to take them off until after the holidays.

Here are seven great reasons not to wait:

1. Relocation buyers are out there. Many companies are still hiring throughout the holidays and need their employees in their new positions as soon as possible.
2. Purchasers who are looking for homes during the holidays are serious buyers and are ready to buy now.
3. You can restrict the showings on your home to the times you want it shown. You will remain in control.
4. Homes show better when decorated for the holidays.
5. There is less competition for you as a

Mortgage interest rates, as reported by Freddie Mac, have increased over the last several weeks. Freddie Mac, along with Fannie Mae, the Mortgage Bankers Association and the National Association of Realtors, is calling for mortgage rates to continue to rise over the next four quarters.

This has caused some purchasers to lament the fact that they may no longer be able to get a rate below 3.5%. However, we must realize that current rates are still at historic lows.

Breaking: Students at Nut Swamp will likely be transferred to New Monmouth and some students from South will be transferred to North.

On Monday, Middletown schools superintendent Dr. Bill George announced that the district will likely realign some of the school boundary maps in the district — meaning that students who live in certain areas will be sent to new schools, different than what they are currently zoned for.

Here's who will be affected: Some students at Nut Swamp and Middletown Village will likely be transferred to New Monmouth, which is currently only at 75 percent capacity and can fit more students. Students from Thompson, which is

Some Highlights:

• Historically, the choice between renting or buying a home has been a tough decision.
• Looking at the percentage of income needed to rent a median-priced home today (29.2%) vs. the percentage needed to buy a median-priced home (15.8%), the choice becomes obvious.
• Every market is different. Before you renew your lease again, find out if you can put your housing costs to work by buying this year!

 

 

 

Some Highlights:

Buyer demand continues to outpace the supply of homes for sale! Buyers are often competing with one another for the listings that are available!

Housing inventory is still under the 6-month supply that is needed for a normal housing market.

Perhaps the time has come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire.
