Highest July Home Prices In 5 Years
Posted by Erick Blackwelder on August 10, 2012 in Buyers Homes For Sale Local Information
Highest July Home Prices In 5 YearsHighest July Home Prices In Five Years(edit/delete) Continued Tightening in DC Metro Inventory, Highest July Prices in Five Years twitter facebook rss POSTED ON AUGUST 10, 2012 BY COREY HART

Active listings at their lowest level in seven years; Growth continues in condo sales, contracts, and median price

Rockville, MD – (August 10, 2012) – The following analysis of the Washington, D.C. Metro Area housing market has been prepared by RealEstate Business Intelligence (RBI), and is based on July 2012 MRIS housing data.

Click here to view PDF version of this report

OVERVIEW

The shrinking inventory of homes for sale continues to play a major role in the Washington DC Metro Area housing market, though median price and sales growth has slowed.  The total inventory of active listings is the lowest of any month since August 2005.  The limited quantity of homes for sale is causing the median days-on-market to decrease (currently at 23 days, lowest July-level since 2005), and the sale-to-list price ratio to rise (currently at 96.3 percent, highest July-level since 2006). Sales and median price growth have slowed from the spring; however both are higher than this time last year.  The condo market continues to strengthen, posting the highest year-over-year increases of all residential property segments in sales, new contracts, and median sale price.

CLOSED SALES

Sales are up from last year, down from last month; condo market continues to lead growth.  There were 4,164 sales in July in the DC Metro Area, a 5.1 percent increase from July 2011, and the fourth consecutive year-over-year gain.  The number of July sales is 10.7 percent lower than last month, which is in line with the 10-year average June to July change of -9.5 percent.  Detached home sales are up 3.4 percent from this time last year, and townhome sales rose 1.9 percent.  The condo market leads in growth for the second straight month, with sales up 12.7 percent from July 2011.  All property segments recorded their highest July sales level in three years.

Woodbridge May Get Amazon Lockers Soon

Woodbridge May Get Amazon Lockers SoonAmazon Pick-up Lockers Coming To You Soon

Amazon Pick-up Lockers Coming To You Soon

Amazon Battles Thieves Who Chase UPS Trucks

Look For An Amazon Pick-up Locker Near Your Soon

The Wall Street Journal

By GREG BENSINGER

Bryan Thomas for The Wall Street Journal

An Amazon Locker in a New York City grocery store. The online retailer has opened at least 50 self-service pickupstations in a few U.S. cities.

Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -0.42%is doubling down to combat a problem that has long bedeviled online retailers: failed package delivery.

The Web giant has quietly installed large metal cabinets—or Amazon Lockers—in grocery, convenience and drugstore outlets that function like virtual doormen, accepting packages for customers for a later pickup.

Amazon began putting lockers in Seattle, New York state and near Washington, D.C., about a year ago.

And the company is now ramping up the service.

In the past few weeks, Amazon has opened its first lockers sites in the San Francisco Bay area.

By adding the lockers, Amazon is addressing the concerns of some urban apartment dwellers who fear they'll miss a delivery or have their items stolen from their doorstep. Amazon is also taking on some of its rivals who are shipping to appointed sites, such as other retailers or United Parcel Service Inc. UPS -0.18%stores.

"The home-delivery challenge has always been an issue for e-commerce in Europe and Japan, and is growing in the U.S., especially as thieves have moved into the game," said Fiona Dias, chief strategy officer for ShopRunner, which facilitates two-day delivery at about 60 retailers.

"It's easy to follow a UPS truck around and steal packages from doorsteps."

Amazon is borrowing a tactic from traditional retailers, like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -0.36%and Best Buy Co.,BBY +11.76%that have added pickup sites so that online customers can stop by a store to get their merchandise.

Veterans Home Loans Are The Best Available Today

Veterans Home Loans Are The Best Available Today

Veterans Home Loans Are The Best Available Today

You Can Use Your VA Loan Over And Over Again

You Can Get A House, Leave Your Checkbook In The Car And Get Cash At Closing

VA Eligible Home Buyers are Some Of The Luckiest People!

Today's real estate market offers many things for buyers.  Lower prices than we have seen in years past, historically low interest rates and in many price ranges a good selection of homes to choose from. That's all good news. However if you have served in the military and have your VA Eligibilty available to you, then you have a lot to be excited about!

When you purchase a home and finance it with your VA Elibility Certificate everyone knows you get to buy with a Zero Down Home Loan. Well, it gets better! Right now many sellers are still offering to pay some, if not all of your closing costs and chances are the lender also is offering you a lender credit as well!

"Now this is where I am going to sound like one of those early morning commericals on TV. But wait, there's more!"

                                         The really great news is...

Your VA Loan is assumable. How does that benefit you?

Well, as prices rise (and they will) and interest rates rise (and they will) in years to come you will have something that is very marketable. A VA Assumable Loan.

When I first started real estate anyone could assume a loan. However the VA Office got stuck with a lot of homes. So the rules changed and now if you have a VA Loan on your home and you want to sell. Another veteran can assume your loan if they qualify. However you loose that porttion of your VA Eligibilty when moving to your new desitination.

Home Loan Interest Rates Fall To Historic Lows

Home Loan Rates Fall To Stupid Low Interest Rates

We're In Uncharted Territory With Respect To Home Loan Rates

Lowest Home Loan Rates In The History Of 30-Year Mortgages

Mortgage rates sank to new lows this week as fears about a U.S. economic slowdown and the impact of the European debt crisis continue to make Treasuries and bonds that fund most mortgages look like safe bets to investors.

Rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.62 percent with an average 0.8 point for the week ending July 5, down from 3.66 percent last week and 4.60 percent a year ago, Freddie Mac said in releasing the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey. That's a new all-time low in Freddie Mac records dating to 1971.

For 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, rates averaged 2.89 percent with an average 0.7 point, down from 2.94 percent last week and 3.75 percent a year ago. That's also an all-time low in records dating to 1991.

Rates on 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loans averaged 2.79 percent, with an average 0.6 point, unchanged from last week but down from 3.30 percent a year ago. Rates on five-year ARM loans hit an all-time low in records dating to 2005 of 2.77 percent during the week ending June 21.

For 1-year Treasury-indexed ARMs, rates averaged 2.68 percent with an average 0.5 point, down from 2.74 percent last week and 3.01 percent a year ago. That's a new all-time low in records dating to 1984.

"Recent economic data releases of less consumer spending and a contraction in the manufacturing industry drove long-term Treasury bond yields lower over the week and allowed fixed mortgage rates to hit new all-time record lows," said Freddie Mac's chief economist, Frank Nothaft, in a statement.
