Thinking about buying a new home?

Feeling like you need a change? Maybe just want the latest and the greatest or you need more space for the two kids you didn’t have when you bought the three bedroom home five years ago.

If you read the paper or watch the news, you may be afraid that now is not the time to sell your home and move up to that new home. In reality, this is the BEST time to buy your next Smyrna Vinings home. This gets back to Investment 101 and basic finance. You want to buy low and sell high, right?

So you may be thinking to yourself, “but I have a home to sell and I certainly won’t be selling high in this market”.

That may be true, but if you’re a move-up buyer, you’ll be buying the more expensive home at a discount as well.

We’ve partnered with a local lender who is also a CPA to bring you the financial perspective. We’ll show you why buying a larger home and selling your existing residence in today’s market could provide you with more accumulated wealth than you could have made by buying and selling at the top of the market. The numbers don’t lie.

Watch this brief introductory video on the Move-up Homebuyer Webinar and if you’re interested in learning more, just register for the webinar. That’s right. You don’t even have to spend $4/gallon to learn about this. You can participate in the webinar from the convenience of your office or home.

We’ll be holding several webinars over the next few weeks because we truly believe that this realization is being lost in the media. And we always believe that education will empower you.

To register for the webinar, simply click here www.CPAHomeBuyerWebinar.com and fill out the Webinar Invitation Request. It’s that easy.

Keller Williams Leading the Way

JD Power and Associates just released their inaugural study of Home Buyer Satisfaction and Keller Williams was ranked top amongst all real estate firms.

The inaugural study measures customer satisfaction of home buyers with the largest national real estate firms. Overall satisfaction is determined by examining three factors for the home-buying experience: agent (65%); office (21%); and services (13%).

In the home-buyer segment, Keller Williams achieves a score of 831 on a 1,000-point scale, and receives highest ratings from customers in all three factors.

“When buying a home, customers particularly appreciate agent professionalism, responsiveness to calls and e-mails and the agent’s skill in locating and showing properties in the appropriate price range—all areas in which Keller Williams excels,” said Jim Howland, senior director of the real estate and construction practice at J.D. Power and Associates.

Needless to say this is also evident in metro Atlanta due to the growth of Keller Williams. In fact, of the five largest real estate firms in metro Atlanta, Keller Williams is the only company to have increased market share in each of the last five years.

The team here at SmyrnaVinings.com is a part of the Keller Williams family and we’re here to serve you. So if you’re thinking about buying or selling your home, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll be glad to meet with you and talk to you about how we can help you achieve your goals.

Mortgage Rate Update – Week of July 28, 2008

Week in review:

Michel de Montaigne, an influential writer of the French renaissance once wrote “The world is but a perpetual see-saw”. While I’m sure life in the 1500’s had its share of highs and lows, he never witnessed the ups and downs we are experiencing in our current financial markets.

Last week we saw home loan rates move lower three of the five business days and move higher the other two days. By the markets close on Friday, rates ended the week down about .125%. Mortgage rates attempted to move lower after a significant increase the week before. However, several better than expected economic reports on Friday stopped rates from improving more during the week.

What to expect:

Inflation continues to be the driving force causing interest rates to be on a higher long-term trend. However, in the short-term, rates are trying to make a move lower. Several economic reports out at the end of this week could set the direction for interest rates over the next 30 days.

The Department of Labor’s jobs report is out on Friday. Weak economic news is good for interest rates. So, if the report shows high unemployment, we could see rates down this week. If the report shows strength in employment, we could see rates drift higher.

Breg-ometer:

Next 7 days: Choppy, possibility for lower rates
Next 30 day: Neutral
Next 90 days: Higher
