Buy Home

Getting Ready To Move

/ Stacy Schnell

Congratulations on the purchase of your new home! Now, for the next challenge: moving. This is a great time to carefully weed through your possessions and to dispose of any clothes, furniture and fixtures that you no longer want or need. Donate them to a charity, hold a garage sale – but if you don’t want them any more, don’t move them.

Are you going to pack yourself or hire professionals? If you’re doing your own packing, following is a list of materials you’ll need. Moving companies and overnight mail businesses can furnish these, as well as specialized items including wardrobe boxes for clothing and heavy-duty boxes for china and other breakables. Liquor and computer stores also are good sources for sturdy boxes.

You should start collecting the following materials:

  • Boxes of all sizes
  • Plastic bags
  • Non-shredded newspapers
  • Packing tape
  • Markers
  • Bubble wrap
  • Tissues paper

Mortgage Updates

/ Stacy Schnell
Rates remained unchanged this week and do not appear to be heading back down to levels from a couple of months ago.
Please keep in mind that it is a good idea for buyers to get a second opinion on their rates and fees. With daily pricing being so volatile, some lenders are not in line with the market. I was able to lock in a client this week .375% lower in rate than another lender. 
In economic news, rising home loan rates coupled with a lean supply of homes for sale on the lower-end of the market pushed sales of new single-family homes lower in January. New Home Sales fell 7.8 percent in January from December, according to the Commerce Department, led by a 33 percent plunge in the Northeast. From January 2017 to January 2018, sales were down 1 percent.

Home prices continued to rise in December due in part to the continuing trend of high demand and a shortage of homes for sale on the market. The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index rose 6.3 percent from December 2016 to December 2017.
