It’s not uncommon to see buyers with less than 720 credit scores get pushed through the hoops only to find that the loan they once had………no longer exists. No doubt about it: the ability for the Average Joe to get a mortgage in today’s credit environment IN A TIMELY FASHION has dramatically changed over the last 12 months! And now, it’s a fact that the difference between a 720 mid score and a 620 mid score can cost a buyer an extra 1.25% on the mortgage rate or 2% additional points in cost. On a $250,000 loan, that’s an additional $5,000 which can lower the purchasing power by up to 28%!

what your needs or desires. Kris spends the time to really listen to her clients and prides herself on the effort and caring she gives to each and every person she works with. As a Buyer Specialist, she is an expert in this marketplace and has put in the time to know this area inside and out and where to buy and why. She not only knows the properties that are “officially” on the market, but many others that are not.
s reasonable right? The market is still going down so a buyer should not have to pay even what the most recent sale price was – right? Well this is not the case when the market has bottomed out and the sellers that are left won’t go any lower which is what has happened recently at Pelican Beach Condo. We have been making offers to listed property and the sellers are rejecting them outright – they are not going as low as recent sales. This is a very good sign that the market in Pelican Beach Condo has bottomed out. Granted there are a few more short sales and possible foreclosure properties that may hit the building so if you are hoping to get a “steal” a Pelican Beach Condo you are going to need to keep an eye on the short sales and possible foreclosure properties and be ready to act quickly when they come up.
