Market Update Week Ending August 26, 2011

It was another volatile week for mortgage rates. The primary factors influencing rates roughly offset each other, though, and mortgage rates ended the week just a little higher.

A wide range of economic news caused investors to either add or reduce risk at a rapid pace this week. News which generally encouraged increased exposure to risky assets helped stocks and hurt mortgage rates early in the week, while the opposite took place later in the week. Mixed US economic data, continued concerns about European debt, a highly anticipated speech from Fed Chief Bernanke, and uncertainty about the impact of Hurricane Irene all contributed to the daily volatility.

Landscaping & Curb Appeal

Exploring the Importance of Landscaping in Curb Appeal

As anyone who has tried to sell a home can tell you, creating curb appeal is an essential part of getting a home sold quickly and at a reasonable price – regardless of whether you’re selling a home in Austin TX or Panama City FL. After all, when a potential buyer drives past a house for sale, he is far more likely to give that home a second look if the home appears attractive and well-maintained. While there are several steps a homeowner can do to create curb appeal, proper landscaping is one of the most important components.

Possible tropical storm entering Gulf | Insurance updated

It’s the time of the year when the Panama City area watches the weather very closely for tropical storms and hurricanes heading our way.

As a reminder to my buys and sellers, pay your insurance premiums and add coverage BEFORE an announcement of a tropical storm or hurricane.

Thanks to Kathy Holman for providing the following…

Once a storm gets into the Gulf of Mexico & within a certain distance of land, Insurance companies will no longer bind insurance.

Once that happens, lending requires evidence of bound insurance & proof of payment (cannot collect at close).
