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 3.35%, and for a 15 year fixed the rate is at an incredibly low 2.70%.  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, low rates are causing higher buyer demand.  In addition, there are fewer homes for sale than there were a year ago, causing home prices (depending on location), to increase. 

According to the local MLS housing statistics, single family home sales are up 5.5% from last September. Year to date sales are up 14.1%. Average sale price are up 3.8%, compared to last September. Year to date average price is up 5.6%. So, if you're thinking of making a move, the time may be now...
