Title: First Time Home Buyers – It’s Not Too Late!

Date: Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Time: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EST

After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Webinar.

Description

Have you ever thought about buying your own home? It’s not nearly so difficult nor as expensive as you may think. In less than twenty minutes you can find out if you qualify to purchase and within two months, you could be closing on your brand new home. Imagine that – in the next two months, you could go from renter to homeowner. How great is that?

Is It Complicated?

Yes, I’m not going to lie to you, buying a home is a complicated process. But that is actually the wrong question. The right question is “Is it hard?” The answer to that is a definitive “no”. Why? Because while the process is complicated, you only have to handle a small part of the equation – your agent handles the rest.

Learn More

You can find out more by joining us on Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 10am for an information-packed FREE webinar, “First-Time Home Buyers – It’s Not Too Late!” In the webinar, we’ll cover all of the details you need to know about who is involved in the transaction, what expenses you’ll have and how to still cash-in on the government tax credit. In one hour, you’ll learn all of the basics you need to know before you start any house hunt. (By the way, if you think your parents can tell you how it works, you’re probably wrong. Unless they’ve bought in the last few years, the process is very different than when they purchased.)

No Obligation

We like to give these webinars because it means that I end up working with highly educated buyers. But we can’t work with everyone – we’re a team of three and we won’t spread ourselves that thin. So if you want to just come for the information without obligation, that’s fine. It frees up your space for someone else. So what do you think? Have you ever dreamed about owning your own home? Don’t you owe it to yourself to see if you might turn that dream into reality?

Last Week in the News

by Anthony on February 8, 2010

The Institute for Supply Management reported that the monthly index of manufacturing activity rose to 58.4 in January after reaching 54.9 in December. It was the sixth straight month of expansion and the fastest pace of growth since August 2004. A reading above 50 signals expansion.

The Commerce Department reported that total construction spending fell 1.2% in December after a downwardly revised 1.2% decline in November. Economists had expected a decrease of 0.5%.

The National Association of Realtors reported that its pending home sales index, a forward-looking indicator based on signed contracts, rose 1% in December. Compared to a year ago, pending home sales are up 11%.

The U.S. non-manufacturing sector rose to 50.5 in January from a downwardly revised 49.8 in December. A reading above 50 signals expansion. Economists had anticipated a reading of 51.

The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage applications for the week ending January 29 rose 21% to 620.7. Purchase volume increased 10.3% to 237.8. Refinancing applications jumped 26.3% to 2,854.8.

The Commerce Department reported that factory orders rose 1% in December. That was double the 0.5% increase economists had anticipated. It was the fourth straight gain and follows a revised 1% increase in November.

The Labor Department reported that productivity rose at an annual rate of 6.2% in the fourth quarter, following a revised third-quarter gain of 7.2%. Labor costs fell at an annual rate of 4.4%.

The unemployment rate fell to 9.7% in January from 10% in December. Employers cut 20,000 jobs in January, far fewer than the 150,000 jobs lost in December. The four-week average for continuing jobless claims fell 51,250 to 4.618 million.

Upcoming on the economic calendar are reports on wholesale trade on February 9, retail sales on February 11 and consumer sentiment on February 12.
