Strategy Corner Home Prices Up The Most Since 2006 Home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, rose 7.4% year-over-year in November, according to the latest home price index from CoreLogic. This change represents the ninth consecutive month of year-over-year price gains and the largest increase since May 2006. Distressed sales excluded, home prices jumped 6.7% from last year in November 2012. According to CoreLogic's HPI report, all but six states experienced annual price gains in November: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. Conversely, the five states with the highest home price appreciation are Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, North Dakota, and California. "For the first time in almost six years, most U.S. markets experienced sustained increases in home prices in 2012," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "We still have a long way to go to return to 2005-2006 levels, but all signals currently point to a progressive stabilization of the housing market and the positive trend in home price appreciation to continue into 2013."

MCLEAN, VA (Marketwire - January 24, 2013) - Freddie Mac (OTCBB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing fixed mortgage rates moving higher from the previous week. The 30-year fixed averaged 3.42 percent, its highest reading since September 29, 2012. Regardless, fixed-mortgage rates still remain highly affordable near their alltime record lows, and should continue to aid in the ongoing housing recovery. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.42 percent for the week ending January 24, ? 2013, up from last week when it averaged 3.38 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 3.98 percent. 15-year FRM this week averaged 2.71 percent , up from last week when it averaged 2.66 ? percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 3.24 percent. 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 2.67 percent this ? week, the same as last week. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 2.85 percent. According to Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist, Freddie Mac "Fixed mortgage rates were up slightly over the holiday week but remain highly affordable and should continue to aid in the ongoing housing recovery. For instance, existing home sales totaled 4.65 million in 2012, showing a 9.2 percent increase over 2011 and the strongest pace in five years. In addition, the Federal Housing Finance Agency's purchase-only house price index rose 5.7 percent over the 12 months ending in November 2012, marking the largest annual increase since June 2006."

“
Suzanne provides outstanding service when it comes to finding a home. We sincerely feel that she went far beyond the call of duty when she helped us look for our home. We live overseas, so looking for a home from abroad is quite challenging. Suzanne took our interests and concerns into consideration in order to help find the ideal location. We are so thankful that she took the time and effort to do this because one of these houses ended up being our dream home. We can not thank Suzanne enough for both her professionalism and her tenacity to find us the right home. We would highly recommend her to anyone.
~Pat & Cynthia
