Race for the Cure

2009-04-26T10:21:00.001-06:00

The Race for the Cure is coming up on May 16th. I'm forming a team to help raise money. My sister-in-law is a survivor and many other women I know have dealt with this disease. Please consider joining my team or making a donation. The links for both are on the front page of my website - www.MontanasMostWantedProperty.com. Thanks for your help!

Market Report

2009-04-24T19:03:00.000-06:00

I added a new section to my website - Market Report. It consists of 2 different sections, Market Update and Market Statistics. The Market Update provides information from ERA Mortgage on what's happening with banks and mortgages. Market Statistics provide monthly and yearly information on what's going on in the Helena market. So stay in the know and check out my website.

Rates

2009-03-31T19:12:00.000-06:00

Interest rates are still right around 4.6. The banks are telling me that they probably won't go much lower, so start taking advantage of them while you can. Also, take advantage of that first time home buyer's tax credit. $8000 is a lot of money no matter who you are!

Home Show

2009-03-29T19:33:00.000-06:00

Wow, what a weekend! The Home Show was a great success! We received a number of really great leads and got our name out there everywhere. People are excited to buy again and with the interest rates and the first time home buyer programs, it looks like that's going to happen for a lot of people.

We also met with several vendors that are very excited to partner with us and become Select Consumer Service vendors.

More good news

2009-03-26T19:30:00.000-06:00

Wow, what a crazy day. The rates are still down and people are ready to buy! There was a lot of positive news out there and many people are saying the bottom has already hit and we're on the way up. Yay!

Got a new listing yesterday and a new one today. A recreational piece for $25,000 and a single family for $164,000. Call me for information on them.

Stop by the home show this weekend at the fairgrounds. I'll be working there on Saturday. Have some popcorn and check out some of our featured listings. They're expecting a lot of people!

Today 03-25-09

2009-03-25T11:46:00.000-06:00

Well we had great news nationally. Existing home sales were up in February 4.7% and inventory fell slightly. New home sales were also up more than expected.

Things have really been picking up around here, although houses in town have always done pretty well. We'll keep watching!

Time to buy

2009-03-21T12:43:00.000-06:00

The weather is finally beautiful around here and real estate has been crazy! Its a great time to buy. Prices are good and interest rates are phenomenal!

Mortgage Rates

2009-03-18T18:12:00.000-06:00

Wow, rates dropped dramatically today after the feds announced plans to start buying mortgage backed securities again. This truly is a great time to buy. Especially with the tax credit they've put in place. We'll talk about that more soon.

Catching up

2009-03-18T16:18:00.001-06:00

Well I've been pretty delinquent in getting my posts up. No excuse. But I'm going to try and be much better in the future. There's so much going on out there that there's plenty of things to talk about.

Money for 1st time homebuyer's

2008-12-05T15:05:00.001-07:00

There is great news for homebuyer's in this tough economy. The government is doing their best to come up with new programs to help people buy homes. They have recently increased the amount for Neighborhood Works from $5000 to $10,000. That's wonderful news for First Time Homebuyer's. And First Time Homebuyer's aren't necessarily people buying their very first home. People that have owned homes in the past may qualify as First Time Homebuyer's. For more information on Neighborhood Works or other programs please give me a call or reply to this posting. Thanks!

Workforce Housing Specialist certification

2008-05-30T15:35:00.000-06:00

On May 7 & 8 I attended a 2-day course to become certified as a Workforce Housing Specialist for Montana. It was a very interesting class that provided us with a multitude of information on a variety of programs to assist people with their dream of home ownership. On June 11 they are launching our website that will provide more information and resources for us so that we can help make that dream come true. I'm teaming up with several loan officers that will also become familliar with these programs. Give me a call and see how we can help you.

New Listing

2008-04-15T14:28:00.000-06:00

I have a new listing at 385 Brookings in the north valley. It is such a cute little place and has a good price tag on it. It's super clean and very well maintained. It's a 3 bed/2 bath manufactured home on 1.9 acres with a very big garage. One of the doors is the extra tall kind for those tall vehicles. There is plenty of room for 2 vehicles plus some toys, like those snowmobiles and 4-wheelers lots of us enjoy. The yard is completely fenced and is huge. There is even another fenced area that is great for dogs or even a horse. The covenants are pretty lax so you can do a lot with your property, within reason of course. There are some other storage buildings on the property also. Check it out at http://www.385brookings.com/.
