Snow in Seattle/Tacoma?

January 14, 2012 Leave a comment

I can see in the forecast and all over social media that snow is predicted in our forecast here in Tacoma and Seattle. I can also see all the excitement… Well, I for one do not share in this optimism regarding snow! I say, “Stay in the hills where it belongs!”

Although I have heard that playing in the snow is a lot of fun such as snowboarding, skiing, tubing etc… it’s not for me. Fortunately for all of us around the Seattle Tacoma area we have mountains and hills covered in snow only an hour away. Therefore, there is no need for it here in town!

With all that being said perhaps my only issue is that I have never been on a snowmobile? I have never gone skiing or snowboarding? I know many of you are avid winter sports enthusiast so share with me, would I in fact change my perspective on snow if I went out and had a good time in it? Maybe instead of griping about the snow in town here in Seattle and Tacoma and the adverse affects on traffic and such I could instead see snow in the forecast amazing opportunity up on the slopes?

Let me know if I am truly missing out on the joy that is snow or am I correct in the belief that when it lands in the city it’s noting but annoying!

Washington State Mortgage Interest Rates

January 14, 2012 Leave a comment

Mortgage Interest Rates continue to dance around record lows which offers a great opportunity for the residents of Washington State to Purchase or Refinance that perfect piece of real estate.

However, as directed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Fannie Mae is required to increase the guarantee fee charged for all mortgages delivered on or after April 1, 2012. What does this mean? Rates on Fannie Mae loans may go up after this change next April 1st. So if you’ve been waiting on rates, now is a great time to “get off the fence.” Waiting could cost you dearly!

Fast closings, phenomenal service, extensive knowledge and historically low interest rates = Perfect time to Refinance or Purchase Real Estate! Call or email me today!
