Save Money on Homeowners Insurance - Q&A, Part Two
Last week we addressed the Wind Mitigation inspection and how you could save some bucks on your home owners insurance. Since space would not allow I only gave a brief introduction to what was involved and how it resulted in savings for you. This week we are going to go a little deeper and answer some other questions you may have about the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection form. Again, please consult an expert that can help you as I have borrowed this information from an article written by John Staab a licensed inspector as well as the web site of Richard Pickle inspector in the Orlando Area.
New Rules Hamper Housing Market
I will be the first to agree that the mortgage industry was extremely under-regulated for years and feel that lack of oversight, among other things, was largely responsible for the collapse of the housing market and subsequent financial crisis we now find ourselves in. But two of the most significant changes we’ve seen in years, both designed to protect consumers and reign in unscrupulous lenders, have done more to hamper the housing recovery than provide better consumer protections.

Save Money on Homeowners Insurance - Q&A
Lucky for me real life gives me my subject matter every week and this week I have some great information about a friend on Facebook, and he had a GREAT article with FAQ on Wind Mitigation - so I get to borrow it for you. WE Floridians are blessed with incredible beaches, endless coastline and some pretty fabulous weather but along with that comes our exposure to tropical weather that can bring on those ill fated hurricanes. Because of this we tend to have some hefty insurance cost but now there are some things that you can do to mitigate that with the help of your FAVORITE home inspector.
Home Prices Still Rising
Mortgage rates remain at near eight month lows as strong demand in the bond market drove the yield on the ten year Treasury note below 3.20% before rising slightly to 3.25% today on a renewed rally in stocks. The rate on the benchmark thirty-year is hovering right at 5% with no points and the fifteen-year stands at 4.375. Thirty-year rates actually were pushing 6% back in the spring so this is quite an improvement and rather unexpected. The general consensus has been that as the economy pulls out of recession and as signs of economic growth become more evident, rates would rise as inflationary pressures mounted, but this has not materialized.

Receivership and Why it isn’t that Scary
WOW what a week for Real Estate for me with so many great things to write about. I could not decide if I needed to write an article or get some extensive therapy or maybe change jobs. Just when we thought we had this condo thing almost figured out we get thrown another Real Estate curve ball. Receivership has been a word that keeps cropping up in Real estate circles with many more questions than answers, so I thought I would get the scoop by reading and calling different groups whose complexes are already in Receivership.
Mixed Signals in Housing Data
Another mixed bag of housing data was released over the past week starting with last Thursday’s report from the National Association of Realtors that showed an unexpectedly drop in existing home sales. NAR reported that sales of existing homes in August fell by 2.7% form the prior month. This broke a four month trend of consecutive increases but still reflected a 3.4% increase form the same month a year ago. The report caught many economists off guard as extremely low interest rates, low prices and the government’s $8,000 tax credit were expected by most to boost sales for the month.
