In December 2011, Congress reached a deal to fund the payroll tax cut extension. The extension will benefit Americans earning $106,800 or less.  But in order to compensate for this extension, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have to increase their guaranteed fee’s (g-fees) by at least 10 basis points.  The consumer will probably see an increase of .125% on a new home loan.

This rate change will go into effect by April 2012 and will impact new Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac borrowers.  The good news is that interest rates are still at an all time low.  Now, is a great time to purchase a new home or refinance.

Murfreesboro Real Estate continues to grow.  Interest rates continue at a record low compared to several years ago.  In addition to low interest rates, first time homebuyers are recognizing great deals on the market.  Homes that once sold at $350K several years ago are now selling for $260K-$275K.  Townhomes that sold for $120K several years ago are now selling for $85K.  With interest rates so low and the decline on property prices, it’s making more and more sense to renters to stop throwing their money away, and invest in something that will pay them back in the long term. 

If you are renting and your rent is more than $575/month, you should strongly consider a home or townhome purchase.  In a recent real estate transaction we worked with a single mother of 1 that had been renting for more than 10 years. Her fear of homeownership evolved around the upkeep and maintenance of a home.  We shared some alternatives that hepled ease her fears and she opted to pursue a townhome.  While renting, she was spending close to $700 in rent and utilities.  We were able to find a great deal on a townhome in Smyrna, Tennessee.  The townhome sold for $117K in 2009 and we closed at $83K.  Her mortgage, taxes and insurance came in under $615/month.

First, Middle TN is within a days drive from most states around the country.  Tennessee is also one of 3 states that doesn't have a state income tax.  Academically, Rutherford County schools have consistently out-performed most others in the state despite ever-increasing standards and rigor.  It's rumored that Rutherford County Schools will be ranked in the top three in the state — possibly first — when the state report card on education is released in the coming days.

In addition to the aforementioned, businesses like Amazon, Nissan and General Mills continue making investments that create jobs.  The county also has a goal of creating 5,000 new jobs by 2015 (Destination Rutherford Initiative).

These factors are part of the reason homes continue to sell in Middle, TN (Murfreesboro, Smyrna, LaVergne).  As a realtor I get excited about Murfreesboro real estate  because I believe the best is yet to come.  Our years of experience has poised us to survive a tough market.
