Real estate in the United States is an exceptional value compared to home prices in other parts of the world.  The U.S. dollar remains weak against foreign currencies, making it possible for foreign buyers to purchase at bargain prices.  A survey by the National Association of Realtors in 2007 found that Florida lead the nation in foreign home buying transactions, and U.S. real estate remains a great investment opportunity for foreign buyers.

Whether looking for a first home, vacation home, or investment property, buyers need to take advantage of the best buying opportunities while prices and interest rates are still low. Let us know how we may assist you.

Although no one knows which way mortgage rates will shift, economic numbers released by the government seem to indicate that things aren't as bad as the news media might lead us to believe. Last week's unemployment claims number was lower than expected, and key employment ratings like the jobless rate for May will be announced this week.  If these numbers are lower than expected, the bond market will drop, causing a spike in interest rates.

What does this mean for you?  If you are considering buying a home or refinancing, now is the time to do it!  Let us know if we can assist you in finding that dream home.
