The Real Estate Market is Back & Phyllis Wolborsky & The Wolborsky Group have Buyers! Serving Raleigh, NC & the Surrounding Triangle Area

REAL ESTATE MARKET OUTLOOK AS OF APRIL 2013

Existing-Homes Sales Continue Rise

Existing-home sales have risen again, showing 12 consecutive months of year-over-year price increases according to a recent report by the National Association of REALTORS (NAR). Existing-home sales, which include recently purchased single family, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops are on pace to reach 4.98 million annual units, up 10.2 percent compared to February 2012.

NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun sees a strong housing market nationally. "Job growth in the improving economy and pent-up demand are causing both home sales and rental leasing to rise. Though home prices are rising much faster than rents, historically low mortgage rates are still making home purchases affordable," he said. "The only headwinds are limited housing inventory, which varies greatly around the country, and credit conditions that remain too restrictive."

Low Rates Support Affordability

Freddie Mac reports the national average commitment rate for a conventional, 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 3.53 percent in February, up from 3.41 percent recorded in January 2013. Buyers were accessing rates of 3.89 percent in February 2012.

Gary Thomas, NAR President, sees a great opportunity for home buyers today. "In the history of mortgage interest rates since 1971, the 30-year fixed rate has been below 4 percent in only 15 months, and those have all been in the past 15 months," he said. "Even with rising home prices, affordability remains historically favorable because home prices over-corrected during the downturn. This means there is still great value for buyers in the current market."

The Best Selling Strategy

Sellers, you have an excellent opportunity to sell your home this season, if you have the right pricing strategy in place from the start! Studies show that the longer a property stays on the market, the less the seller will net upon the sale. It is very important to price your property at a competitive market value at the signing of your listing contract. The market is so competitive that even over-pricing by a few thousand dollars could mean that your house will not sell.

An Overpriced Home:
· Minimizes offers
· Decreases agents response
· Limits qualified buyers
· Decreases showings
· Decreases prospects
· Limits financing
· Wastes advertising dollars
· Nets less for the seller

Inspiration For Today: Phyllis Wolborsky & The Wolborsky Group, Raleigh, NC & The Surrounding Triangle Area

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

"The only people to get even with are those who have helped you."

~ Anonymous

KEEP THE BALL ROLLING!

Most of us can probably look back over our lives and careers and recall people who have either helped or hindered us along the way. Which group do you think is more worthy of your consideration?

Unfortunately, many people spend too much time worrying about how they’ve been wronged. The bad stuff tends to stick in our minds, and we’re less inclined to recall the positive deeds and actions. While we may LEARN from our negative experiences, we can actually TEACH by demonstrating our positive attitude.

Instead of focusing on those around you who make decisions that set you back, or whose incompetence is driving you nuts, try to take some inspiration and guidance from those who have mentored you or shown an exceptional level of performance. Fight back against those negative influences by raising yourself to the next level.

The most successful and inspirational people around us generally achieve their accomplishments for a greater good. They’re unselfish in their success. They work hard to promote the strength of their company, not just themselves. They volunteer by helping to feed the hungry, visit the lonely, and support those in need. One is not selfish for pursuing one’s own good – selfishness comes from neglecting the good of others.

John Andrew Holmes said, "The entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others." No matter how much you focus on your own goals and achievements, you’re not a fully developed individual until concern for others starts to become more important than concern for yourself.

So don’t worry about “getting even” when you’ve been wronged – it’s a waste of your time, and can’t produce any positive results. Think more about getting even when you’ve been done right! Then you’ll find more and more good things coming your way!

Have a Great Day! Remember. THE MARKET IS BACK!

Phyllis Wolborsky & The Wolborsky Group have 165 collective years of success, expertise and comprehensive real estate experience. We would like to share our knowledge and show you how we can bring you the most amount of money in the least amount of time for your property.

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

"Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world."

~ Arthur Schopenhauer

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for."

~ John Lubbock

HOW DO YOU SEE IT?

Have you ever wondered why some people never seem to be satisfied? Or why others always have a smile on their face? In both cases, it often has absolutely nothing to do with external factors, but rather how people internalize what they perceive.

A perfect case in point is the story about a gentleman who just moved to a small town where he had recently accepted a job. Pulling into a gas station, he casually asked the attendant, “I’ve never lived in this part of the country - what are the people like here?”

The attendant in return asked, “What are the people like where you came from?” To which the man replied, “Not very friendly. They can be quite rude.” The dismayed attendant commented, “I’m afraid that you’ll find the folks around here to be the same.”

While this little conversation was going on, another car pulled up and the driver called out, “I’m moving to this area soon for a new job. Is it nice here?” The attendant turned to the driver and again asked, “Is it nice where you come from?”

“Well, yeah, it’s great there. The people are nice, and I hated to leave,” the gentleman explained. To which the attendant answered, “Well, you’ll find the same to be true here!”

What the attendant knew - that the first driver didn’t - is that we all see things as we expect to see them. Act positively and expect positive reactions. Act negatively, and . . . well, you get the picture.

If you’re feeling disappointed or unsatisfied, it may not be the result of external forces. It may be time to take a look at your own role in the dynamics of your life. Even if your vision is fine, you might need to correct your lenses!

Raleigh's New Pedestrian Plan-Phyllis Wolborsky & The Wolborsky Group,Raleigh, NC & the Surrounding Triangle Area

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:00:00 GMT

Raleigh's New Pedestrian Plan

Raleigh has a new Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan that provides strategies for enhancing the Capital City's transportation system by promoting walkability.

The plan assesses existing facilities, policies, plans and programs that affect pedestrian mobility; and provides recommendations for improvements. It also includes templates for pedestrian infrastructure improvements, examples of tools and techniques for improving walkability, and a prioritized list of proposed sidewalk projects throughout Raleigh.

The Pedestrian Plan builds on the City's 1992 Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan, 1993 Sidewalk Priority Funding Program, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Bicycle Transportation Plan. The plan reflects current practices and incorporates new pedestrian-friendly standards and programs.

A review of existing conditions and pedestrian experiences established the following four key priorities:

Installing sidewalks where they are lacking, maintaining sidewalks, making it easier and safer for pedestrians to cross the street, and educating motorists and pedestrians on applicable responsibilities and ordinances pertaining to safety and sharing the road.

The Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan can be viewed by visiting the City of Raleigh's website at http://www.raleighnc.gov and search for "Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan."

For more information, contact the City of Raleigh Office of Transportation Planning at 919-996-2155.

Allen Tate Mortgage Weekend Rates-Phyllis Wolborsky & The Wolborsky Group, Raleigh, NC and the Surrounding Triangle Area

Fri, 15 Feb 2013 03:00:00 GMT

Mortgage Rates Unchanged To Slightly Higher Heading Into 3-Day Weekend

Treasury rates don't always indicate mortgage rates, but the movement is generally similar. When we see markets consolidating like this it can suggest that the conflict between "higher vs lower" will make for a brisker tailwind for the victor of that argument. In other words, things have been calm (relatively), but they look close to making a bigger move, either back down to 3.5% or firmly up to 3.75% in terms 30yr rates.
