Back to School

The kids are headed back to the classroom and it got me thinking that a lot of adults could use some schooling as well.  So much has changed in mortgage and real estate in the last few years and recent numbers from Black Knight Financial Services show evidence of housing market recovery:   

  • Home prices are up 5.3% year-over-year
  • Prices as of June rose for the 50th consecutive month 

Interest rates are still low, but a lot of young people grew up during a time of great real estate distress and haven’t experienced the strong markets that propelled the worth and wealth building of their parents.  They also haven’t experienced the evolution of interest rates and how high they’ve been to know anything other than the “historic lows” we’ve had for years.  They won’t last…it’s time to get schooled up on the current market and what’s involved in buying a home to make an educated decision as to whether homeownership is possible and the right decision for the long run.  The GCS Title team and I work with many outstanding, experienced real estate and mortgage professionals who can “teach” you what’s involved in the process and “instruct” you on your options.  We’re happy to introduce you! ~Charlie  

There’s a lot going on….

The market’s moving fast and our Realtor and lender partners are busy trying to help as many people as possible with low inventory and low interest rates.  It’s busy and exciting and GCS has news too:  We’ve moved our offices and we’ve got a lot of amazing new people.  Our internal staff is amazing and we’ve featured some of the new faces.  We wanted to let you know about some of the other folks who are likely to walk into your office to say hello – if you don’t know them already.
