Interest Rates: Perfect Time To Buy (And Sell)!

Interest rates are at a new low for 2012!

The average 30 year fixed interest rate is now at 3.70%, and for a 15 year fixed the rate is at an incredibly low 2.99%.  As you may know, interest rates fluctuate constantly, so taking advantage of a low rate should be done swiftly.  Whether you're looking to finance a home purchase or refinance your current mortgage, a call to a mortgage lender may be a good idea.

Regarding a home purchase or sale, rates are forecasted to start climbing closer to 4.5% by year's end, and home prices (depending on location), are expected to see a slight increase.  Because of this, we're seeing an increase in buying and selling activity in the marketplace. 

According to local MLS housing statistics for January through April 2012 in the Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Youngstown region, the average sale price up 5.3%, total dollar volume up 22.4%.  So, if you're thinking of making a move, the time may be now...
