I am holder of a certificate called, “Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource Certified.” The designation is referred to as “SFR”. It seems these days more and more “short sales” are coming up for sale. There are so many people, not just in the Marietta area but in the nation as well, that are upside down in their homes. Upside down means that they owe more on their loan than their home is worth.

Current Interest Rates 12/30/2010

We can expect interest rates to rise slowly over the coming year and they have been doing that since late summer of this year. Look for the 30-year fixed-rate loan is to rise slowly to about 5.3% near the end of 2011. 

 The forecast by the government is for national unemployment to drop to around 9.2%. This is good because more people working means more money at work and more people will be able to purchase a home.

Current Rates

30 Year Fixed 4.75%   APR 4.915%
 
15 Year Fixed 4.125%  APR 4.4%

FHA 30 Year Fixed 4.75%  APR 5.2%
 
5 Year ARM 3.25%   APR 3.415%
