How is the Government Shutdown Affecting Rates Now?

Welcome back to my video blog! For a while it seemed like all you heard about was the government shut down. How did it affect our market? I asked my good friend, Wade Byers from Benchmark Home Loans to join us today and explain what’s been going on.

During the shutdown we did see an increase in interest rates to about 5 percent. I have good news, though, for those of you who thought you missed your window. Rates have dropped down to 4.25 percent; now is a phenomenal time to be in the market.

It’s important to not wait too long to make your move. After the first of the year we expect the Federal Reserve to possibly pull back on the quantitative easing causing interest rates to increase again.

Many people think that the winter isn’t a good time to sell. The truth is that there are fewer homes on the market and that means less competition for you. Statistics show that December has more activity than October or November.

So if you are considering buying or selling, please give me a call!

Thanks for watching!

testimonials from happy clients

Donna - "It was a very fast buy. We’ve flipped houses before and it’s taken a really long time, but this was just a knock! She did everything she was supposed to do and she helped in every way that she could possibly help. She even saved us $5,000 by suggesting we go lower on the bid! She was just very good!"

Monica - "Kari was very knowledgeable about the market and has great marketing skills. Just from using all of the excellent photography and the staging, helping us get comps, all of those things together helped present our home to be very desirable. "

Leanne - "Several times she would return my late phone calls or come and meet us later in the afternoon being that was the only time my husband could make it to look at homes. To me, that is above and beyond and they just made it work and we really appreciated it."

Pat - "We had very good results! From day one they did a great job with everything. They sent people over to stage the house, they took professional pictures, and they provided comps of the neighborhood to see where we should be pricing it, I mean I couldn’t have asked for more! Stacy always followed up with me too, she made sure that she would call so I knew when an appointment was coming and that I’d be okay with it. They were great!"
