Mortgage rates have dropped again, falling below 5% last week.  If you are waiting on the sidelines to buy real estate there couldn’t be better news, or could there?  Apparently rates are expected to go even lower if the Federal reserve dumps the $1.2 trillion it is expected to.  The New Administration is doing their best to stimulate the economy and entice people to put their money into real estate.  For those who have jobs and money today’s real estate market couldn’t be better.  The historically low interest rates available with mortgages combined with low home values makes today’s real estate market a true buyer’s market.  It is a great time to invest in Sedona Real Estate.

Last week showed an increase in mortgage applications (for both new home purchases and refinancing) and could potentially be good news for the real estate market overall.  With interest rates staying low, averaging 4.96 percent for 30 year fixed mortgages, and 4.5 percent rates for 15 year mortgages, dropping property values and the new tax incentives for first-time home buyers, surely there could not be a more attractive time to buy real estate, these new figures show that people across the country are feeling the same way too.  A recent article in Realty Times states that the importance of this increase: “New financing applications to buy homes obviously point to rising purchase contracts and closed sales in the months ahead. They also suggest that prices have hit a level in many markets that is attracting once-hesitant buyers off the sidelines.”  The stimulus plan appears, at least for the time being, to be making a difference, let’s hope this real estate trend sticks!

Real estate sales are up for January with 49 sales pending, an optimistic sign in hard economic times.  The movement of real estate is credited to low interest rates and low home prices.  In a recent article in the Verde Independent Beth Adams, president of the board of the Sedona-Verde Valley Association of Realtors, says: “Now is a good time to buy.  Interest rates are at historic lows, there is a big selection to choose from, and sellers are negotiable. This makes houses very affordable.”

In the same article Sam Escobedo, 2009 association board member, is quote as saying, “It seems that the biggest fall of the hump of the colossal roller coaster ride is over.”  The volatility of the stock market is also helping the real estate market.  Location is seen as a key element when choosing real estate, the more desirable the location the more a property will increase over the long run.  For now, a positive sign is welcome and 2009 is already a better year for real estate in Sedona Arizona.
