Posted in General Real EstateReal Estate Outlook: Pending Sales Jump
by Kenneth R. Harney
| If anyone needs hard evidence that the real estate market cycle is flattening out and turning around, check out the latest pending home sales index numbers.
On a national basis, the index jumped by 5.3 percent last month. But more importantly, it rose in every region of the country, suggesting that the turnaround underway is broad-based — even if it’s likely to proceed slowly and modestly in the months immediately ahead. The index — which measures signed sale contracts that haven’t yet gone to closing — is a leading indicator of home sales for the coming two to three months. You can bet on solid increases in sales in the South, where the index was up by 9.3 percent, and in the West, up by 4.6 percent. Pending sales in the Northeast states were up by 3.4 percent and in the Midwest by 1.3 percent. And if first-time home buyers start taking advantage of Congress’s new $7,500 tax credit, sales later in the summer and Fall could exceed most analysts’ expectations. The National Association of Realtors is projecting that over 2 million home sales could be stimulated by the credit between now and mid-2009, when it expires. The timing couldn’t be better: Prices have come down in many parts of the country, mortgage money continues to be relatively affordable, and growing numbers of consumers on the sidelines are recognizing that this is a smart time to buy a house. The $7,500 credit — which is available to anyone who hasn’t owned a home during the past three years — is icing on the cake. In other economic developments affecting housing this week, core inflation rose by zero point three percent last month, which is still moderate, but the Federal Reserve is keeping an eagle eye on any signs of an inflation breakout triggered by higher commodities prices. That means no more cuts in short term interest rates for the time being. Mortgage rates jumped slightly this past week — averaging 6.57 percent for 30 year fixed-rate loans, up from 6.4 percent the prior week, and 15 year loans averaged 6.2 percent, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association of America. |

Good Advice for Sellers
Posted in General Real EstateTo home buyers, looks count
Maximize appeal with tidy interior

NEW YORK | If you’re planning on putting your home on the market, consider fixing it up first. Simple cosmetic changes don’t cost very much, and they can make a real difference to a buyer.
From Consumer Reports, here are four ways to spruce up your home for a sale:
Take out the stuff. You should throw out, or at least hide, the clutter. Pick up old newspapers and magazines from the coffee table and put the shoes away in the closet. Don’t let potential buyers be distracted by all your stuff. Homes look better without clutter.
They also look more appealing with furniture, so fill any empty rooms you may have.
Polish and clean. You don’t want to show a dirty house. Mop the floors and scrub the countertops. Clean kitchen appliances as well. If it’s an older model appliance, a little shine will make it seem newer. If a room needs a fresh coat of paint, then paint it. Try to stay away from bright colors, which might not appeal to every buyer.
Arrange your furniture. A good furniture layout can change the way a room looks. Try setting up chairs and couches around a focal point such as a fireplace.
Bring in a professional. Professionals in this arena are called stagers. Their fees can range from $200 for a two-hour consultation up to $5,000 for a full staging. Stagers can also provide any furniture and accessories that may be needed. A good resource to find a stager is the International Association of Home Staging Professionals, at www.iahsp.com.
