Tax Cuts Passed

Congress passed a tax cut bill which now awaits the President's signature and it already has settled the stormy financial markets. The markets like certainty not uncertainty. The markets and employers now know what lies ahead.

Winter is the best time to buy a home

The crowds shop for homes in the Spring and Summer in Northern climates like the Milwaukee area. Now is a better time to buy because there are fewer buyers. This means you save money on your purchase. There is less competition. In Spring there may be multiple offers on a single property. In Fall and Winter, often times, there still are multiple offers however there are fewer buyers trudging through the snow to look at homes. Your offer may look sweeter to the seller in the Winter. Why wait? If you were thinking of moving up, down or away now may be the time.

What is a Locked Loan?

In the mortgage world a lock is a commitment to deliver a mortgage to the investor in a certain time frame at a certain rate. Purchases and refinances closing in the next 30-60 days when locked afford the customer protection against rising rates. Monday rates spiked upward quickly -they almost always rise faster than they fall- after reports that new home sales increased more than 8% in February. Buyers and consumers refinancing are protected against rising rates as long as they can close in the allotted time. Some lenders may play the float game. We don't recommend it. In this climate it is better to be locked on a rate than hope there will be a down tick where you can capitalize. Always work with an experienced professional. By the time you see it in the paper or hear it on the news it's too late. The smart money has locked.
