NH Real Estate with Karen Oleson

As a Real Estate Agent working with Keller Williams I receive dozens of emails every day from associates desperately looking for homes for their buyers. We are in a Market where there are many more buyers then sellers. If you feel you might be selling your home in the next few years, you might want to consider it now. For many this might be a lucrative time to sell.
If you are uncertain of the current market value of your property, please feel free to contact me. I am happy to answer any questions regarding Real Estate.

Some helpful hints on moving. My suggestion, unless you really need it, ditch it. If it has value put it on Craig's List. Also, 1st priority is your BOX. By that, I mean pack first what you absolutely need for two weeks for clothing and personal items, such as cosmetics. Then add to that or in a cooler, a shower curtin, toilet paper, bed sheets, pillow (if you're a sissy), paper plates & cups, one good knife, plastic utensils, tools, screw driver, hammer, drill, measuring tape, box cutter, paper towels and a bottle of wine.
Keep financial documents separate as well. Do not pack them in some 4 wheeler to head cross country.
Happy travels to new horizons!!

Moving houses can be one of the most stressful times in your life if you're unprepared. Some folks have figured out ways to make moving less stressful, and luckily with the power of the internet they're able to share their wisdom with you.

For all of you who haven't had time to check home interest rates. Here's an update. You might want to consider refinancing.

Mortgage Rates Stay Low, Keep Buying Power High
DAILY REAL ESTATE NEWS | FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 09, 2012
A year ago at this time, 30-year fixed-rate mortgages dropped below 4 percent for the first time since Freddie Mac started reporting national average mortgage rates in 1971. Thirty-year rates have fairly much stayed below 4 percent since then too, continuing to hover near all-time record lows and pushing home buyers’ purchasing power higher and helping refinancers to unlock savings.

Freddie Mac reports the following national averages in mortgage rates for the week ending Nov. 8.

30-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 3.40 percent, with an average 0.7 point, rising slightly from last week’s 3.39 percent average. A year ago at this time, 30-year rates averaged 3.99 percent. The record low for the 30-year mortgage, set in recent weeks, was an average of 3.36 percent.
15-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 2.69 percent, with an average 0.7 point, dropping from last week’s 2.70 percent average. The 15-year rates record low average is 2.66 percent, which was set in mid-October. Last year at this time, 15-year rates averaged 3.30 percent.
5-year adjustable-rate mortgages: averaged 2.73 percent, with an average 0.6 point, dropping from last week’s 2.74 percent average. Last year at this time, 5-year ARMs averaged 2.98 percent.
1-year ARMs: averaged 2.59 percent, with an average 0.4 point, rising from last week’s 2.58 percent average. A year ago, 1-year ARMs averaged 2.95 percent.
