Some good news about mortgages today

By Christine Dugas and Sandra Block, USA TODAY

What credit crunch? Home buyers with solid credit and money for a down payment are now better positioned than they were a few weeks ago.

The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is at a three-month low. Home prices in many areas have fallen. And despite the meltdown in non-traditional mortgages, many community banks still offer jumbo loans (above $417,000), though rates have risen.

August 30 is National Toasted Marshmallow Day - this is one of my favorite treats.... Commercial marshmallows are a late 19th century innovation. Since Doumak's patented extrusion process of 1948, marshmallows are extruded as soft cylinders, cut in sections and rolled in a mix of finely powdered cornstarch and confectioner's sugar. Current brands of commercially made marshmallows include Kraft Brand, Nestle Brand, and Fluffy Puff brand.

This is an interesting article form the Realtor OnLine Magazine

Daily Real Estate News | August 28, 2007Florida: Housing Sales, Prices Continue to Drop
The Florida real estate business continues to be in the doldrums. Statewide sales of existing single family homes fell 24 percent year over year, according to the Florida Association of REALTORS®.

Florida’s median sales price for existing single-family homes fell to $237,500, down 5 percent from what it was a year ago, FAR says.

Sales of existing condominiums in Florida also decreased last month, with a total of 3,610 condos sold statewide compared to 4,449 in July 2006, representing a 19 percent decline, according to FAR. The statewide median sales price for condos last month was $193,900, down 7 percent from July 2006's condo median price of $209,100.

Real estate analyst Michael Cannon says the market is reverting to pre-boom normalcy.

''There is an adjustment going on,'' Cannon says. "I have predicted the last three cycles and I am not predicting a crash now. I don't buy it because the economy is doing well, employment is up, trade is up. Now, I am not saying it is rosy, but it's not doom and gloom as everyone says it is.''

Real estate professionals are making the best of it. "We're getting the word out that this is a great time to buy a home in the Fort Lauderdale area," says Christine Hansen, president of the REALTOR® Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale and broker-owner of Century 21 Hansen Realty Inc. "It's taken some time for buyers and sellers to adjust to the changing market, and now we're seeing more interest and more offers.”

— REALTOR® Magazine Online

Note that it is not rosey but not the gloom and doom the media keep printing. Now is the time to buy...great selection, lower prices and sit very reasonable mortgage rates. Come to Naples and see what we have to offer.

Curb appeal is very important when trying to sell your home here are a few suggestions:

• Paint your front door - a fresh coat of paint will make a big difference
• If you can afford it - install a new door - perhaps one with a glass inserts
• Change out the door knobs
• Trim the bushes, weed, power wash the driveway and front walk.
• Don't forget the backyard...Do some clean up there too.

For more info about making your home more appealing go to http://www.About.com

Tomorrow we will look at Kensington....actually we won't because my computer is in my luggage which I don't have since it is still in Chicago...NOTE...never back your computer in your luggage. It must have been a blond moment. So I can use my old computer but the pictures I need are on my new computer.

If you need information about Naples Real Estate please contact me at 866-280-7356 or rae@raewakelin.com. Have a wonderful day.

August 6th is Wiggle Your Toes Day - Today I am lucky to be wiggling my toes. What a nightmare trying to fly from Chicago O'Hara on United. It took use almost 20 hours from the time we were at the airport until we got back to the Ft. Myers airport. Air travel is not what it use to be....and there is not much room to wiggle your toes....
