Dublin Ranch Homebuyers Beware: Interest Rates are on the Rise! PDF Print E-mail

News of interest rate increases is the result of great news for our economy. Strong earning announcements from several major companies caused stock market rallies throughout most of last week. The bad news, though, is for home buyers in the market for Dublin Ranch homes, condos or townhomes this led to a few mortgage rate “re-prices” for the worse.  We are still seeing historic lows for many loan programs, but the fact that this upward movement occurred is a great reminder that we will not see these low rates forever.  If you are in the market for Dublin Ranch real estate, and are still on the fence about whether now is a good time to buy, act quickly to take advantage of the low rates…before they unexpectedly go up and stay up!

With the limited inventory in Dublin Ranch, if an opportunity seems like a good one for you I’d encourage you to give me a call quickly for a showing appointment. Also, if you would like to receive email updates about homes coming on the market in Dublin Ranch, contact me and I’ll set you up with a free email alert account.

The Real Estate Team at DublinRanchLifestyle.com has done it again! The owner of 6145 Mabury Avenue in Orange, CA hired us after learning about our unique marketing philosophy at dublinranchlifestyle.com/our-philosophy.

Working with past clients is not only a lot of fun, but it’s also an honor to be re-hired by someone who recognizes the caliber of work we do to market homes and get them sold. A couple of years ago, I helped this client buy a home in Moraga after she moved from Orange County to the Bay Area for a new job. Out of the blue, this spring I got a call from her. That call went something like this:

The Real Estate Team at Dublin Ranch Lifestyle has done it again! The owners of 3077 Lakemont Drive #2 in San Ramon hired us after learning about our unique marketing philosophy at dublinranchlifestyle.com/our-philosophy.

Knowing they were underwater not only on their home equity line, but also on a portion of their mortgage, they wanted us to help them avoid foreclosure, unload the property, while paying the least amount out of pocket as possible. This husband and wife had recently experienced a loss of income. Because of their high payments on their upside-down loans, and their inability to find a tenant, we were able to help them sell the property and preserve their credit from a foreclosure.

Dublin Ranch homeowners beware: there are PERILS in refinancing! PDF Print E-mail

I had the opportunity to meet with a Dublin Ranch homeowner two nights ago who needs to do a short sale on a condo in the Terraces. They are a really nice family; when we originally started talking they told me they had been declined a modification in the “Making Home Affordable” program, and had thought that letting their Dublin Ranch condo go to foreclosure was their only option. I’m glad we got a chance to talk!

They had purchased their Dublin Ranch condo from Toll Brothers in 2004, and within only a few months refinanced both of their loans for a lower interest rate. Remember those days? When property values were climbing so fast that you could do a refinance every few months and enjoy more equity? I promise I’ll snap out of my nostalgia in 5… , 4… , 3… , 2…
