In this ever changing market of real estate do you wonder what your house value is today. Interest on Friday had dipped down to 4.99% which is a good sign for buyers and sellers. When you are going to put your house on the market is always a good idea to get a few sources on the value of your home. Your buyers will be looking online, so you need to be fair in your asking price, but still able to get a return on equity. You can receive house support in financial terms to help get the price on the market while helping you look at the long term value of your home.

In our area of Eastern PA, the real estate market appears to be holding strong. Two ouf our neighbors, just sold their houses within a week of listing and got the asking price.

It is a sad day where we just think of ourselves and not our literal neighbor. Your lack of planning is not my crisis should come right back at you if we want to live in a self served world. It never works that way. Then again, we went up this bubble together hence we will all fall the bubble has burst!

Rental Property

I am a little suprised that the value of rental property has stayed so flat and that prices for rent have not moved much either. I would seem to me that many will sell their homes, pay off their debts and move into a rental home for a little while, until things settle down a little. Perhaps everyone is bracing for a huge fall, cannot sell their homes if they even tried or they could even be taking advantage of the new interest rates on homes. I just heard about a couple getting 4.7%, now that is like giving money away! I just cannot believe that with that interest rate more people are jumping on top of this. Sure the world will never be the same but we all need homes, food and gas. Yet again, we need jobs to pay those mortgages and get approved for them in the first place. I just read that the UK may need to go bankrupt like it did in the 1970′s by excessive spending, encouraging people to buy homes they could not afford and let the price of those homes to go up, and then do not put anything in savings for the rainy day government fund. Wow, that sounds like the typical American these days. I still believe its just a correction and not a collapse.
