The National Association of Realtors reported that sales of existing single-family homes, co-ops, and condos declined 2.7% in October.

The overall number of units on the market is the largest since April 1986. However, the rise in existing inventories has yet to impact existing home prices.

New Real Estate Pricing Strategy Gains Ground

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

There is a new trend among real estate agents hoping to boost traffic for homes that have set on the market for a longer period of time. Real estate agents are starting to list homes with a price “range” instead of a fixed asking price. For example, homes valued at $250,000, are being listed by agents with a price range of $225,000 to $275,000.

Supporters of this new value range marketing strategy believe that it exposes a property to more buyers who may not have otherwise looked at a property because of its higher price tag. Additionally, some backers believe that it sometimes assists in spawning multiple offers that ultimately leads to a higher selling price. While this strategy has been slow to catch on in some areas of the country, it has started to gain momentum when markets begin to slow.

Mortgage Rates Down

Friday, November 25th, 2005

Freddie Mac just released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey. The survey indicates that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.28%, with an average 0.6 point, for the week ending November 24, 2005. This is down from last week’s average of 6.37%. At this time last year, the 30-year FRM averaged 5.72 percent. The average for the 15-year FRM this week is 5.81%, with an average 0.6 point, also down from last week when it averaged 5.90 percent. A year ago, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.15%.

“Lower oil prices — at least compared to the last several months — have helped to alleviate some of the inflation fears that the market has been experiencing lately,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist. “That helped to reduce upward pressure on interest rates last week, allowing mortgage rates to ease a bit for the first time in 13 weeks.”
