Best Time to Invest – San Diego Real Estate

Gary Harmon — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:56:39 +0000

Don’t Miss Out!

Prices in San Diego North County are low. Interest rates are low. Don’t let the poem below describe you.

I hesitate to make a list of all the countless deals I’ve missed;

Bonanzas that were in my grip – I watched them through my fingers slip;

The windfalls which I should have bought, lost because I over thought;

I thought of this, I thought of that, I could have sworn I smelled a rat;

As I thought things over twice, another grabbed them at the price;

It seems I always hesitate, then make my mind up much too late;

A very cautious person I, and that is why I never buy;

At times a tear drowns my eye for all the deals I let pass by;

And now life’s saddest words I pen – If only I’d invested then!

Rent vs Buy – San Deigo Homes

Gary Harmon — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:50:08 +0000

San Diego North County Homes make good investments, so why rent when you can buy? Moving from “Renter” to “Owner” may be easier than you think. You may be able to find a San Diego North County home with a total monthly payment comparable to your current rent payment!
Example:
Interest rate and payment illustrations are below. Contact Gary Harmon, and I will put you intouch with Home Services Lending for current interest rate and payment information. Rates are illustrative and are subject to change daily.

Payments will vary during the initial 123 months due to annual adjustments to the required monthly mortgage insurance premium. After 123 months the mortgage insurance premium is dropped. Closing costs are assumed to be paid by the borrower at closing. If the closing costs are financed, the loan and payment amounts will be higher. Your loan’s interest rate will depend upon the specific characteristics of the loan transaction and your credit profile up to the time of closing. Amounts shown for hazard insurance and taxes are estimates and are subject to change.
1. Financing the UFMIP is optional. Borrower can pay the premium at closing.

Home Buyers Like Energy Efficient Features

Gary Harmon — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 20:56:09 +0000

It is not just saving money, but North County homeowners like to also feel good about helping the environment. Almost nine of ten home buyers felt that a home’s cooling and heating cost were at least somewhat important to their buying decision. Roughly seven of ten buyers felt that energy efficient appliances and efficient lighting were at least somewhat important to their home buying decision. See charts below.

The % of buyers – by age – who said the feature was very important to their decision.

Buyers with higher incomes tended to place less importance on environmentally friendly features. Solar panels are also a way some North County home owners are trying to save money. See Solar panels – free energy?
