WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE KITSAP COUNTY WA MARKET NOW?
Now that the National Health Care Bill has been passed, perhaps Washington DC can get back to the task of kick starting our economy and hopefully improving the housing outlook for the near future. Historically, we normally begin to see a slight increase in sales activity as we enter into the Spring season. No doubt the April 30th deadline for the 1st Time Home Buyer’s Tax Credit will encourage some to get off the fence. Rates still continue to hover just below 5% for a 30-year fixed with .75 to 1 points. For more mortgage rate details, go to The Mortgage Porter.
