MCLEAN, VA (Marketwire - Feb 21, 2013) - Freddie Mac (OTC: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing average fixed mortgage rates changing little over the past four weeks which is helping to spur new home construction. After being flat for three straight weeks, the 30-year fixed edged up to 3.56 percent, while the 15-year fixed remained unchanged at 2.77 percent. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.56 percent for the week ending February 21, 2013, up from last week when it averaged 3.53 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 3.95 percent. 15-year FRM this week averaged 2.77 percent , the same as last week. A year ago at this time, the 15year FRM averaged 3.19 percent. 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 2.64 percent this week, the same as last week. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 2.80 percent. Frank Nothaft, Vice President and Chief Economist, Freddie Mac, stated: "Mortgage rates have been relatively stable, hovering near record lows, for the past four weeks which is helping to spur new home construction. For instance, new construction on single-family houses rose to an annualized rate of 613,000 in January, the most since July 2008. In addition, single-family building permits were up to the highest issuance level since June 2008.”
Redfin: Sales, Prices Strong in January, Inventory 'Anemic' 02/18/2013 BY: TORY BARRINGER
Home sales kicked off 2013 with their strongest start in years, according to data tracked by broker Redfin. Redfin's Real-Time Price Tracker, which tracks prices, sales, and inventory across 19 U.S. markets, shows home sales were up in January 12 percent year-over-year. While sales were down 20 percent from December, Redfin says this January was the strongest in “at least four years.” Fifteen of the 19 tracked markets saw sales increase from a year ago. No markets reported a monthover-month gain in sales. Prices also dipped a bit from December, falling 2.5 percent—a common occurrence this time of year, Redfin says. Year-over-year, January experienced a 10.1 percent increase in prices, marking the 10th consecutive month that national prices have increased on a yearly basis. According to the report, Phoenix and Las Vegas lead the pack in annual price gains, improving 31 percent and 26 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, Long Island and Philadelphia both lost ground, dropping 1.9 percent and 0.3 percent. While sales and prices showed strength in January, inventory remained anemic. According to the report, the number of homes for sale declined 33.4 percent from January 2012 to January 2013 (slightly worse than the 33.0 percent year-over-year drop in December).

“
Suzanne and her excellent staff set up a website for us to show us houses that matched our wish list for our future dream home. This really helped us narrow down our choices and the areas we were interested in buying. All throughout the process, Suzanne helped to guide us toward creating realistic goals in a way that was fun and informative. Overall, I would say that our experience has been extremely positive. I can’t believe how quickly we have concluded the closing on our home because everyone involved was so on top of the process. Suzanne is one of the top real estate sales professionals in the area, and rightfully so. She has been extremely available throughout the sometimes nerve-wracking process of first-time home ownership. On top of getting a home we love in a great neighborhood for a great price, Tom and I have found a friend for life. ~ Tom & Heather
