West Chester & Mason Ohio Real Estate: This Month In Real Estate – November 2013

This Month In Real Estate for November 2013:  The primary reasons homesellers decide to move  and taking a look at the national home sale numbers.

Home sales nationally continued to improve in both unit sales numbers as well as increases in average sale price.  The national average on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage is currently at 4.28%  Get preapproved for a home loan  Locally as of this writing, a 30 year fixed rate mortgage is averaging around 4.25%

According to Keller Williams (KW) research the primary reasons homesellers decide to move are primarily driven by four factors.

1. The desire to upgrade to a bigger home – the current real estate market in our area is very advantageous for moving up to a bigger home right now.  Homebuyers will find home prices are still low and represent great value.  Mortgage interest rates have now gone back down slightly after a very quick run up over the last few months

2. The desire to upgrade to a better neighborhood – this desire can be about better schools, larger lot sizes, newer homes, older homes with more character or a number of other factors.  You can start your home search by neighborhood right here on our website.

3. The need to relocate due to a job – changes in employment due to promotions and job/employer changes can frequently be the driver of selling a home.

4. The need to sell due to a change in family status – changes in family status due to new born children, grown children moving away for college or jobs, divorce and death can all be the driver of selling a home.

First Time Homebuyer Series: Can You Afford To Keep Renting?

by Leave a Comment

Can You Really Afford to Keep Renting?
First_Time_Homebuyer_Renting_vs_Buying

With the rising cost of renting, many people are considering buying a home. However, some are worried about affordability. If you are paying rent, you can afford to buy a home.

Consider this example:

Buying A Home:

Mary’s $900 mortgage payment includes $700 of interest. Her total annual house payments are $10,800. At the end of the year, $8,400 of that is tax deductible ($700 x 12months). She is in the 28% tax bracket, so her savings are $2,352. Her actual housing cost for the year is $8,448.

Renting An Apartment:
Joe believes he can’t afford to buy. He pays $800 in rent each month which makes Joe’s housing costs for the year $9,600. He thinks he is saving money by renting, but he is actually spending $1,150 more than Mary, and he isn’t building any equity.

Interest rates have decreased in the last 10-14 days and are now once again right around 4.50%.  Most experts do not expect mortgage interest rates to stay this low, with home loan experts predicting a rise to 5.00%   A raise in mortgage rates of .50% is equal to a 10% increase in home prices and affordability.

So the question you should ask yourself is: Can You Really Afford to Keep Renting?
