Real Estate and Mortgage Rate Update | January 2012

January 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Real Estate and Mortgage Rate update for January 2012

Sarasota, FL

The Federal Reserve met on Wednesday January 25,  2012 and all indications are that they are expecting to keep mortgage rates low,  extremely LOW until 2014.

That is great news for the consumer, it is going to keep our payments low and with all the low down payment options that are still available, it’s just a great time to buy.

  Incredible opportunities there are still available, we have a great but declining  inventory.

Good properties sell fast!

   Now it a great time to buy a home in Sarasota, FL.
