Verrado newly listed homes has slowed over the summer as we currently sit at 67 active Verrado homes for sale (including 6 under contract but accepting back up offers), with 4 short sales and 3 REO lender owned homes.  There are now currently 31 pending homes in Verrado, with now only 11 new construction homes.  Overall, new construction home activity remains brisk, but overall the market has slowed due to the hot summer weather and a recent move up in interest rates.  However, Axia Home Loans is currently offering a lock and shop program that will allow home buyers to lock their rate for up to six months.

Now when shifting over to sold homes in Verrado, we find a total of 67 homes sold over the last 90 days, down 23 closings from the last report. …

Interest rates have begun to increase from all-time lows as it becomes more apparent the Federal Reserve will likely reduce or eliminate the use of their balance sheet to buy mortgages to keep rates low. The economy continues to show improvement with the housing market rebounding, stock market hitting all-time highs, and consumer confidence and spending on the rise. If the economy continues to improve the Fed will look to end the stimulus programs and hopefully we will see sustainable economic growth with low inflation. Rates are still very low and it’s still a great time to take advantage of these rates.

Superstitions never seem to die, which is why a lot of people still believe Friday the 13th is an unlucky day.

When it comes to real estate, some superstitions are passed down through generations, especially in certain cultures. The thinking goes that if you follow these superstitions, you’ll increase your luck and sell your home quickly for a good price.

Of course, superstitions won’t sell a home. But if they did, here’s how you’d get lucky in real estate.

Pay attention to numerology

Superstition around specific numbers can play a role in how people price their homes, which homes they won’t buy and even how builders name the floors of a high-rise condo building.

In some cultures, real…

Luxury home owners and buyers place a high value on real estate, according to a new survey conducted by Better Homes and Gardens of 500 luxury home buyers.

In fact, the survey finds that 75 percent of luxury home buyers believe home ownership is a sounder investment than the stock market. What’s more, 57 percent of luxury home owners say home ownership is a bigger indicator of success than their job or title.

“The luxury consumer is considered a trendsetter in most industries, and to see the strong connection this consumer has with ‘home’ is very significant as we look at the real estate market as a whole,” says Sherry Chris, president and CEO of Better Homes and Gardens…
