I thought you might be interested to know that mortgage bonds prices have risen. This puts downward pressure on mortgage rates. Trading was all over the place throughout the week...investors are still concerned over credit and energy issues. Adding to the volatility were triple digit movements in stock prices!
Interest rates on government and conventional loans are down another 1/4 point!
We just received word from one of our local builders that many of their spec homes (already finished, move-in ready) are being discounted in price. This is a short term deal of course, so call or email us with any interest. Of course, Lafayette has many new construction options. The advantages of buying a spec home are that you can move in and close right away...no headaches. You can also get a great price by working through us in the negotiation process.
Homes that are discounted and available right now are located on the south end of Lafayette. Many floor plans, ranging in size of 1200 square feet to over 3600 square feet. Price discounts range from $2500 to over $12000! These are significant discounts on brand new homes. I wanted you to know...if you or anyone is looking on the south end for a new home, you have to let us at least show you what's available! Again, just give me a call or email with any questions :)

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22006839/ Articles such as this one, published by MSNBC always make me want to comment on what is actually going on here.
Real estate is a local business. Each market is unique. What's happening in Phoenix, Atlanta or Las Vegas does not necessarily translate to Lafayette, IN! Remember that interest rates are still at historic lows. I expect more rate cuts to come as well.
Do you have concerns about the market? Are you afraid to even consider buying or selling? Let me tell you about a list I have...all homes that have sold in less than a month, all for within 97% of asking price. Are people buying homes? Yes. Are people selling homes? You bet. The Lafayette market HAS changed though. Don't just dive in and expect things to sell themselves.
Give us a call or email, even if you just have questions about the market. It's important to stay informed on the facts when there is so much negative media out there!
The fate of the neighbor ordinance remains undecided...
It will be interesting to see how West Lafayette decides to play out the concerns regarding this "Good Neighbor Ordinance". Many West Lafayette residents have complained about noise created by students living in the area. Edwina Henderson, a local resident, was just quoted by the Journal and Courier, saying she's had problems with not only noise but theft and public intoxication.
Mayor Jan Mills enacted the Good Neighbor Ordinance in West Lafayette as a way of cracking down on this behavior. However the vote evidently won't get a deciding vote prior to her leaving office at the end of the year. Will West Lafayette drop the ball on this? I don't think so. I hope not. Let me know what you think!
