New homeowners tend to receive a lot of mail from companies just trying to get their money. Here’s what you need to know . Want to Buy a Home? Search All Homes Want to Sell a Home? Receive a Home Value Report Most people get a lot of mail after they close on a property and wonder what its purpose is. We’ll share some of that information with you today.

One example is a solicitation that will tell you to pay them for a copy of your recorded deed . While you do need to have that copy, you don’t need to pay for it. It will be sent out in the mail by the title company four to six weeks after closing . “ We don’t sell your information—it’s public record . ” A lot of people think that we’ve sold their information to these companies, but the fact is that your home purchase is a public record, and they will always send stuff to addresses based on these county office records.

Today I’m joined by Bay Equity Homes team members Erika Gabrys and Chris Krupar to discuss what’s been happening in the market this year . Want to Buy a Home? Search All Homes Want to Sell a Home? Get a Home Value Report Before we begin today’s topic, we’d just like to say thank you to all of our clients and referral partners who took the time to vote for us; We are grateful to be the winner of the Albuquerque Journal’s Readers’ Choice for this year, and we’ve also been named the winner of Rio Rancho Observer’s Readers Choice for 2019. That makes this the second year in a row that we’ve won this award, and we couldn’t be more excited. Now, back to the topic: This year, our market has been pretty wonderful . For those who are looking to refinance their homes, now is still a good time to do so. Interest rates are still very low; they were even lower at one point and have since come up, but not too much. Because rates are still at historic lows, it’s also a great time to purchase a home in lieu of renting . For those interested in a home purchase, just know that Bay Equity Homes offers all the standard loan types—conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA. For jumbo loans on larger purchases, we have a variety of products and ways to go about firsts and seconds on jumbo loans. In addition, investment money is also available. Our team members Erika and Chris are both veterans who have plenty of experience not just in providing VA loans, but also using them as buyers. They’re both anxious and eager to help any veterans make a home purchase. Additionally, we also help those in the community by providing first-time homebuyer assistance programs in conjunction with the Mortgage Finance Authority . “ It’s a great time to refinance your home or leave the world of renting behind to become a homeowner . ” There has been talk of the federal government cutting rates at some point in the future, and many assume that automatically translates over to mortgage interest rates. However, the Fed actually cuts the overnight interest rate, which could certainly have a positive effect on mortgage interest rates, but that often depends on how the Fed talks about the rate cut itself. If the Fed announces the rate cut and has positive things to say about our economy, then there’s a chance that rates could go down further in the mortgage world ; however, if they have negative things to say about the national economy, then it could have the opposite effect. There are a lot of factors at play right now, including Saudi Arabia cutting back on their oil production and the fact that our current administration has cooled off a little bit regarding the tariff dispute with China—that has actually improved stocks, which in turn, has caused rates to go up. We’ll continue to keep an eye on interest rates, as we know most are very interested in future developments. For now, though, it’s a great time to refinance your home or leave the world of renting behind to become a homeowner. If you have any questions about interest rates, the market in general, or about purchasing or refinancing a home, please feel free to reach out to us. We’ll be glad to speak with you.

Professional guidance makes a world of difference when it comes to boosting your credit score . Want to Buy a Home? Search All Homes Want to Sell a Home? Get a Home Value Report Credit is a complex subject, so I recently spoke with a couple of experts (Sarah Gmyer-Maez of OneTrust Home Loans and John Gillette of PreQua Credit) to hear their take on what today’s consumers need to know about repairing their scores. Of course, the best path to a high credit score is by taking good care of your credit to begin with . According to John, keeping your balance within 30% of your limit is best. It’s also a good idea to use the cards you’ve had the longest more often than the ones you’ve only just taken out. If you have a relative with a card in positive standing, you may want to ask to be added on in order to supplement your credit history. You don’t even have to get a card of your own. You just have to be an authorized user on their account . “ Professional guidance makes a world of difference when it comes to boosting your credit score . ” Sarah, a professional lender, always recommends that anyone looking to improve their credit speak to a professional like John about their options . Professional guidance makes a world of difference when it comes to boosting your credit score. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me or my team a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon .…

You shouldn’t trust a Zestimate to accurately value your home, but you can trust it to accurately gauge the market’s movement over time . Want to Buy a Home? Search All Homes Want to Sell a Home? Get a Home Value Report When it comes to calculating a home’s value, Zestimates aren’t very accurate—they don’t know sale prices, and they’ve never actually been inside your house, so they can’t know what it looks like. What Zestimates are good for, however, is gauging the market , because their algorithm can account for the movement of certain numbers, such as homes’ average price per square foot. For example, let’s say a Zestimate claims your home is worth $250,000 one day, then six months down the road, says it’s worth $255,000. While that probably isn’t what your home is really worth, it’s a good indicator that there’s been some movement in the market overall. “ It’s fine to use Zestimates as a baseline for where our market is, but don’t rely on it as an accurate valuation of your home . ” The bottom line is this: It’s fine to use Zestimates as a baseline for where our market is, but don’t rely on it as an accurate valuation of your home. Your home is only worth what you’re willing to sell it for and what someone is willing to pay for it . If you have any questions about this or any other real estate topic, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d be happy to help you. P.S. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for May 10, because we’ll be giving away a $150 gift certificate to Albuquerque Uptown just in time for Mother’s Day.

For this edition of our bi-weekly Facebook Live discussion on real estate, we’re talking short-term rental opportunities available to you in the Albuquerque area . Want to Buy a Home? Search All Homes Want to Sell a Home? Get a Home Value Report Vacation rentals are typically for periods no longer than six months or a year, and people are often curious about whether or not they’re worth it. Today we’ll be answering a few key questions about them so you can make an informed decision about making such an investment. 1. Who are the ideal investors? The ideal short-term rental investor can be just about anybody. Although the property may be vacant 50% of the time, your return is going to be much higher and could generate nearly double the income. Of course, there will be a lot more maintenance that comes with keeping your rental in good condition. 2. Does the part of town matter? In the Albuquerque area, many of these rental properties are located all over, like a cabin in the East Mountains, a room in a house downtown, a suburban spot in the Northeast Heights, or perhaps in the more popular vacation spots around Albuquerque Old Town. If you look online, you’ll see a huge variety of locations, prices, and types of properties. I once saw 1,900 such properties available in our market. One was for a house for $1,000 per night with room for 16 people. It was mostly used for corporate retreats, family getaways, weddings, and so on. Five hotel rooms might run for about the same price or more, depending. 3. Is there a true market for short-term rentals in the area? If you’re a person who owns a property to be rented or you’re thinking of buying a rental property, the income could be double the usual amount. You average 3-bedroom, 2-bath house in Northeast Heights would be around $1,200 to $1,300 a month for a standard one-year lease. On that same house, you might get $150 a night, though you have to take vacancies into account, along with the costs of cleaning it and listing it on sites like VRBO and Airbnb. In general, people tend to do pretty well with them, especially if they don’t mind doing the maintenance and cleaning themselves; if you’re paying a management company to do it for you, it could cost around $1,000 a month . “ Although the property may be vacant 50% of the time, your return is going to be much higher and could generate nearly double the income. ” 4. Are there opportunities for executive rentals? An executive rental is a property that someone might stay in for around a month that has all the comforts of staying in a home as opposed to a hotel. They are indeed in high demand. Right now, we have a shortage of executive rental properties, but with many of the properties listed on VRBO and Airbnb, people can rent by the month. Depending on the time, there may be people who have rented a property for a few days at a time, so finding a month-long window could be challenging. We’ve looked at some of the properties that have sold in the last year as well as what’s on our MLS for sale right now, and there are many opportunities in the area. We’ve seen a cute little house in the downtown area close to the zoo for $139,900 that has been completely remodeled. There are about 70 listings just in the MLS that would be great Airbnb or vacation rentals, or they already have established clientele as a rental property. If you’re interested in purchasing a short-term or vacation rental property, please reach out to us. Additionally, if you're interested investing in long-term rentals, you can start your search on Mashvisor . We’d be happy to help you analyze what’s out there and what would be a good fit for you .…

Contrary to popular belief, the Albuquerque real estate market isn’t slowing down one bit. Here’s what you need to know about current conditions . Want to Buy a Home? Search All Homes Want to Sell a Home? Get a Home Value Report We recently participated in an interview where we talked about how the real estate market is doing around this time of the year. From what we see, the market is still very healthy . In August, our total number of sales was up from the previous year. Although there are some news reports out there saying things have slowed down, it doesn’t mean we aren’t still an active market. We’ve just slowed down from the frenetic pace we saw this spring and summer. If you look at the charts for closed sales and homes for sale , which show a 10-year trend of closed sales and a 10-year trend of homes for sale, we see that the market consistently peaks during the summer months . For example, in May and June of last year, we saw over 1,300 homes sell each month. This year, we peaked out in May with about 1,360 homes. This chart also shows that we see this happen every year, hitting our low months in January and February, then steadily rising through the spring and summer. What we’re seeing year over year is a trend of more homes selling overall since the market bottomed out in 2011. The slowdown we’re seeing is typical of this time of year . “ Sales are still up 7% from last year and show no signs of slowing down . ” For homeowners who are in the market to sell, it’s important to know that homes are still selling and buyers still need to buy homes. If you need to sell as we head into the fall season, we can help get your home staged, marketed, and presented in its best light to the buyer pool that’s out there. People will still continue to buy all through the winter months as well . As far as homebuyers are concerned, it’s important that you know what’s important to you, what your needs are, and what your financial picture looks like. Then we can discuss your options before we start looking at houses. It’s important to have that conversation so you can best meet your goals . Finally, we just wanted to make sure we mentioned that although you might be hearing that the market is slowing down, if you look at the data you can see that it’s not. Sales are still up 7% from last year and things don’t seem to be slowing down at all. If you have any questions in the meantime about the market or about anything else related to real estate, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon .…
