Do You Think The Real Estate Market Is Healthy?

Even in today's real estate market, there are still some people who doubt and proclaim that the housing market is still unhealthy.
"Being a home owner has stopped being a piece of the American Dream. Climbing interest rates are killing interest. Young adults are overloaded with an excessive amount of student loans." 
Naysayers, lets put things into layman's terms: 13,945 houses sold yesterday. 13,945 today, and 13,945 will sell tomorrow. 13,945!
As of now, 13,945 is the country's average number of homes sold every single day, consistent with the National Association Of Realtors' (NAR) most recent Existing Home Sales Report. There have been 5.09 million homes sold in 2013, according to the report. How about we divide that number by 365 (days in a year) to find that almost, on average, 14,000 homes sold per day.
NAR presumed that sales had grown 9.1% compared with 2012 and that it was the market's strongest gain since 2006.
We do understand that these numbers are well beneath the record for homes sold throughout the boom. On the other hand, we additionally realize that we may not see those numbers again for a quite long time (and that is likely a good thing). To say that the present real estate is unhealthy is completely wrong. We have nearly 14,000 bits of proof to demonstrate that.

Is Waiting To Buy A Home Going To Cost You? (The Answer Is YES)


Throughout the past year, real estate professionals and real estate gurus have put a lot of effort into stressing the difference between the 'cost' of a home, and the 'price' of a home. If you are considering purchasing a home or property, not only should you be aware of 'cost' vs 'price', but you should also be aware of mortgage interest rates.

We can determine exactly what it cost buyers who waited to buy a home as opposed to buyers who bought at the end of 2012.
Home buyers who waited saw a monthly mortgage payment increase of over $200. That's roughly 10 trips to the theater a month, two weeks worth of groceries, or even a monthly full coverage insurance payment.
As you can see below, that really adds up over the life of a 30 year mortgage.
Wow! Imagine how many times you could have filled up your gas tank with that extra $2,495 this year. Granted, we can't change the past, however this should clue you in as to what's to come for this upcoming year.
That's roughly an additional $200 a month, as opposed to if buyers purchased now. We're here to help you make an informed choice when it comes to a large purchase like a home.
Have you heard that many pundits believe there will be a dramatic drop in the real estate values because mortgages rates are starting to rise? That seems logical, however history portrays rising interest rates have not negatively impacted homes values in the past.

Several times over the last 30 years mortgage rates have increased, as shown below:
Dates Mortgage Rates Home Values
May '83 - July '84 12.63 - 14.67 +6.6%
March - Oct '87 9.04 - 11.26 +5.2%
Oct '93 - Dec '94 6.83 - 9.2 +1.2%
April '99 - May 2000 6.92 - 8.52 +10.9%
Maybe the impact of increasing rates won't be as impacting on future home prices as was predicted.
