26 Mar 2008 Refi’s up 82%

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported today, that total mortgage applications spiked 48% last week following the Federal Reserve’s move to cut short term interest.

The index that tracks refinance application actually went up 82.2%, while purchase loans were up 10.6%

What I’d like to know is what percent are FHA loans.  The reason for this is the FHA loans are going to be able to help out those behind on their current mortgage payments.  While conventional loans aren’t going to be able to help those currently in trouble.

One of two things are happening, either many people more…

24 Mar 2008 Tips to Sell Your Home Faster-Atmosphere (Part 5 of 6)

This is Part 5 in a series of things to do that will increase your chances of a quick home sale, for the highest possible price.

Atmoshphere

1.  A clean smelling house creates a positive image in the buyer’s mind. Be aware of any odors from cooking, cigarettes, pets, etc., that may have adverse effects on potential buyers. Remember that some people are much more sensitive to odors than others. Smokers rarely notice the odor of tobacco that fills their homes, and pet owners may be oblivious to objectionable doggy odor.

2.  You can use products like carpet deodorizers, air fresheners, and room deodorizers; but the best strategy is to remove the source of the smell rather than cover it up.

3.  Unfortunately, often the only way to remove the smell of pet urine from flooring is to rip up the carpeting and padding and replace them. If this is preventing the sale of your home, don’t hesitate to make this investment.

4.  If smoking and cooking odors have permeated your home, have your carpets and furniture cleaned, and air out or dry-clean your drapes.

5.  Mildew odors are another no-no. Don’t allow wet towels to accumulate in hampers or dirty laundry to pile up in closets.

6.  Once offensive odors are removed, consider adding delightful ones. Recent studies have shown that humans have strong, positive responses to certain smells. Cinnamon, fresh flowers, breads baking in the oven are all excellent ways to enhance your property for sale.
