RE/MAX agents are no strangers to being visible experts in their marketplaces, often giving media interviews and sharing their insights on local real estate. Now a new quarterly survey – RE/MAX Market Insights – provides Associates with a nationally branded platform to share their market opinions.


More than 1,000 RE/MAX residential agents provided responses for the inaugural survey conducted in December. Participants offered their thoughts on market conditions and consumer behavior in 2011, as well as predictions for the New Year.
Here’s a glimpse at some of the December survey’s highlights:

  • Nearly three-fourths of agents say their markets will have emerged from declining home prices by the end of 2012
  • 62.1% of agents predict good to very good sales in 2012

Pay Off Your Mortgage Early

 

 

Paying Off Your Mortgage Loan Early

When you buy your first home and you see that 30 year term, it seems like you'll be paying for your home forever. There are ways to shorten your mortgage term without refinancing.
  1. Pay a little extra every month towards your principal. You can usually add a dollar amount that specifically goes towards that and even if you can only afford $20.00, send it in. That is an extra $240.00 towards your principal each year.
  2. Make one extra full payment a year. By doing this simple thing, you reduce your loan term by YEARS.
  3. Don't spend money on frivolities. If you have extra cash on hand, invest it in your equity or in home improvements - especially the kitchen and bathrooms which will increase your home's value.
