~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fact that I LOVE to shop actually comes in quite handy when it comes to business!
My clients always tell me that I have a 'good eye' and am pretty adept at 'nailing'
what they're looking for. It's a curse, what can i say?
I'm also not ashamed to admit that I regularly scan the fashion & design mags
for current, most up-to-date trends...one of my favorite columns found in METROPOLITAN
HOME is something called: "High & Low" and another similar take in MARIE CLAIRE
is called, "Splurge vs. Steal." Essentially, the editors choose a pricey item such
as a Jimmy Choo shoe and compare it to a similar, less expensive look-a-like ala
Payless....a sort-of cutesy spin on the ol 'knock off'.
Well, this is my version of 'SPLURGE vs. STEAL'.
Working with buyers from all walks of life, I've learned that there truly is something
out there for everyone, for all needs and for all budgets. So, take a look, have
fun and know that getting what you want doesn't always mean that you have to spend
the most. Sometimes, you'll find that a little imagination is all you need(hint:
place candles inside that pretty but useless alcove and create your own faux 'fireplace'
if that's what your 'fireplace' budget permits). Other times, you'll find that some
things really are worth the splurge....like that top-of-the-line granite Chef's
kitchen, the hillside home with the breathtaking views or a one-of-a kind pair of
Choos (for me, it's the perfect fit of a Diane von Furstenberg dress).
So, Have fun & don't forget to call me, your buyer's agent, for open house and
showing information or if you or someone you know is thinking about buying, selling
or refinancing.
Also, don't forget to check out SITC's current listings.
Cheers!

Why Now is a Smart Time to Buy(Source: The Wall Street Journal, Shelly Banjo (03/11/08)
Now is a great time to buy a home, say the financial gurus at the Wall Street Journal.
The Journal calls it a buyers market and offers these suggestions for first-timers
getting their feet wet. While their advice is solid, it's not revolutionary, but
some potential customers might find it reassuring.
Remember this is a place to live not a stock market investment, they say. Lenders
want buyers to spend no more than 28 percent of their gross monthly income on mortgage
payments, real estate taxes, and home insurance. Buyers shouldn't count on stretching
further because lenders won't approve their loans.

Mortgage Rates Continue to Climb(Source: Baltimore Sun)
Long-term mortgage rates continued in an upward trajectory that began four weeks
ago, according to Freddie Mac.
Interest on 30-year fixed loans climbed to an average of 6.13 percent this week
from 6.03 percent the prior week; while 15-year fixed rates jumped to 5.60 percent
from 5.47 percent.
Adjustable rates were up as well, with the five-year ARM settling at 5.58 percent
compared to 5.34 percent a week ago. The one-year ARM landed at 5.14 percent compared
to 4.94 percent.
Despite the upward trend in mortgage rates over the past month, housing analysts
say borrowing costs are still favorably low and should help pull the residential
property market out of its worst slump in more than 20 years.
