It looks like the strong real estate market in northeast Florida will continue through the summer. The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats for June 2019 shows good buyer demand with 2,966 pending sales which is 11% higher than last June and 7% higher year-to-date.

 

Brian Buffini, a leader in the real estate industry for over 30 years, pointed out the four main indicators of the economy as it relates to real estate. The four indicators are jobs, interest rates, population and consumer confidence. All four are extremely positive right now.

 

Jobless claims are at a 50-year low. Mortgage interest rates are more than 0.5% lower than last year and very low compared to historical rates. The United States population is up 45 million people from 2000 to 2018 and consumer confidence is high.

Thanks to technology, gone are the days of the slow, clunky mortgage lending process! We can now speed the process and better track the significant number of required documents with relative ease.

 

George Stone, Loan Originator with Jet HomeLoans, has some great tips to help you utilize technology to improve your experience. Here are George’s tips for a smooth loan process:

Once you are under contract you will likely have just 5 days to make a “Loan Application.” Basically this means you should speak with your lender right away and be sure that they have the required items to process your loan.

 

Documents that are required are things like your paystubs, your most recent 2 years of W2s and/or tax returns, your bank statements, and your un-expired government ID.

 

Send photos of required documents

Lenders accept photos for these items like your ID and your paystubs. Simply take a clear picture that is nice and straight with your cell phone and forward that along in an email or text.

There is no doubt about it—downsizing is on trend. This includes retirees, parents whose children have moved out, and some who are just looking for a change. But in many cases, those looking to reduce square footage are met with an abundance of stuff, making moving seem overwhelming.

 

While reducing things you’ve accumulated over the years can be a challenge, step-by-step, it is possible to downsize without drowning in stuff!
