Only 6 Days Left for Home Buyer Tax Credit

This is the last weekend to shop for a new home if you want to qualify for the $8K tax credit. If you have questions about what it takes to qualify, or if you need an excellent agent to show you some homes, give me a call at 206-708-9800.

Saturday Open House on Alki

My Open House of choice for this weekend is a totally remodeled duplex just a block off Alki beach. The upper level has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, as does the lower level. Listed by my Prudential colleague, Ken Arkills, the address is 2823 62nd Ave SW. The list price was just reduced to $499,950. I will be there today from 10-1, and again from 1-4 on Sunday.

Current mortgage loan rates

Loan officer Troy Chambers, of Arboretum Mortgage, has this to say about loan rate activity for the past week:

Rates dipped a bit earlier in the week, but have come back up and settled in at the current level of 5% for Conventional 30-yr. fixed loans. It's still a very good time to look at a refinance or a new home purchase. Either way, I can help, so please feel free to call my cell phone at any time. 425-418-5103. I will be available all through the weekend as well.
