"As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the entire process. Step by step, Joe made it easy and fun. His expertise in the Columbus real estate market is a tremendous asset. He is highly recommended!" - Nicolette Horan
"I wanted to say thank you again, so much, for all your hard work. I know that you really put a lot of time into this transaction and I really, really appreciate it. I'm so happy I got the house and it all worked out and I just wanted to say thanks again, you did a great job and i really appreciate it. I will put that on the survey when they send it to me.
If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I will refer every single person I know to you. I'm going to go get my dog and we're going to sit on the floor of our new house and have a glass of champaign. Thanks a lot Joe" -- Michael Mamp
Buying a home in Columbus? Why Wait? Rates are Great. Really? Are they really great?
May 29th, 2008 categories: Real Estate News
You’ve seen the sign on homes for sale all over Columbus: Why Wait, Rates are Great! Are they great? You know what? They are. In the last 6 days, however, they’ve creeped up about a .5%. Last Friday we were around 5.875%, they went up to 6% earlier this week and held steady but today we jumped up to 6.375%.
Does it make a difference to you if you’re looking for a home? Not much maybe, but yes it makes a difference. That home you wanted to splurge a little on at the top of your price range may have just moved out of reach over the last week. Talk to your lender, save more money, worry less about the rates and more about finding the right home for you that comes with a payment you’re comfortable with.
