Follow the mortgage money — "Economy does not lie in sparing money, but in spending it wisely." - Thomas Huxley

Want to gain valuable insight into what's happening in real estate...speak to a mortgage lender. Interest rates and access to cheap money has been a key driver in the robust real estate recovery we have experienced in the last few years. But things are changing. According to trade publication Mortgage Daily, approximately 22,000 mortgage workers lost their jobs in the last quarter of 2013 and a total of 31,931 jobs were lost last year -- the worst since 2008. Although the slow down in refinancing is mostly to blame, interest rates are generally expected to rise in 2014. If you're considering selling your home, now may be the opportune time as inventory is scarce, buyers are plentiful, and interest rates are still low...for now.
