With what they saved by not buying turn key home they are able to completely remodel the home and will still have equity in their lovely house.

Interest rates and what they mean to you as a home buyer.
Hello Everyone This is Brad Hammarlund
with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen TX. I work with people looking to
sale their homes and also with people who are looking for homes for sale
in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in
Harker Heights TX.
Currently we can still find low rates when it comes to purchasing a house, but with the interest rates increasing how does that really effect you? Well if you want to purchase a home that cost $150,000 and you are able to qualify for a VA loan with 0 down and you get a rate of 4% your monthly payment will run around $1,142 a month. If you wait and the rate increases to 5% like it is predicted to do by the end of the year now your monthly payment will be $1,231. That is an extra $89 a month, or an extra $1,068 a year, or an extra $32,040 over the life of the loan. All from a 1% interest rate increase. I personally like my bank but not enough to give them an extra $32,000 when I do not have to. Please Don't Wait Act Now Before The Interest Rate Increases!!! For more information or to start you home search please call me at (254) 291-0630

Importance Of Representation
Hello Everyone This is Brad Hammarlund
with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen TX. I work with people looking to
sale their homes and also with people who are looking for homes for sale
in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in
Harker Heights TX.
When it comes to a real estate transaction your representation is very important, so much so that the State of Texas requires all Realtors to give you a form (Information about brokerage services) to inform you about the different types of representations. Choosing the best person to represent you is extremely important. This is the Realtor that is going to sell your home or find you a home, negotiate the price, and make sure every element of the transaction is carried out correctly to make sure that the contract is legal and that you are not going to be taken advantage of or face a lawsuit in the future.
The most important thing you should know is that you need your own representation, you should not call an agent off of a sign and expect them to work out the best deal for you, They already represent the seller and are trying to get them the best deal. They have a fiduciary responsibility to them, not to you! Also, if you are looking for a new home never go to their model home without your Realtor. The builders reps are just that, they represent the builder and are working for them to get them the best possible price for the builder, not for you!
You need a Realtor to represent you, even if it is not me. You need to find someone to work for you! I do recommend that before picking a realtor to find out about them. Do not just go with a friend of a friend, or someone that helped your friend or your cousin purchase a home.
You need to find out first of all are they a full time realtor? Are they staying current on the market? Are they professional? Why do they do what they do? If you are about to spend $200,000 and be locked into a loan for the next 30 years don't you want to work with a professional, someone that stays current in your market, and someone that is doing it because they love what they do or are they just going to try to get you to spend the most possible so they can get a big commission? Out of the 600 Realtors that are licensed in our market only about 5% of them meet that criteria.
Just so you know I am one of that 5%.
I am a full time realtor.
I stay current and would be happy to explain our market to you, please take a minute to read one of my blogs, you can find me on my website www.bradsellstexas.com, blogger, wordpress, trulia, and zillow.
I am professional, if you see me 99% of the time I am in a suit and tie, and will give you the respect you deserve.
I do what I do to educate and help people, I find the best home for them, and most of the time it is only about half the price that someone is approved for. I am working for you not trying to chase a commission.
So when you do decide to make you choice I would be happy to help you, please call me or email me so we can schedule a time to talk.

Fort Hood Area Market Update
Hello Everyone This is Brad Hammarlund
with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen TX. I work with people looking to
sale their homes and also with people who are looking for homes for sale
in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in
Harker Heights TX.
Here is the update for our market compared to last month and last year.
What this is telling us is that our market is still moving stronger than last year, our homes are not staying on the market for as long, and the average price of homes are less than this time last year.
With that being said if you look at the full 12 month comparison, from the last 12 month ending in February compared to the 12 months ending in February of last year you can see that we have 7.42% more homes sold, the average home price is still running around $132,803, the days on the market are the same, but there are less new homes being sold. That will explain why the Average home price dropped by around 4.70%
After going through all this data what this is telling me is that our Market is Strong, Stronger than this time last year. There are more Existing Home Sales! So for a home owner thinking about selling this is great news. The Buyers in our market would rather save money and purchase an existing home rather the purchase a new home. If you are considering selling please give me a call so I can give you a free market analysis on your home and you can decide if this is the right time for you to sell. (254) 291-0630
