Many Condos however are still slow moving as they where some of Best Real Estate Values that became the worst.

• Foreclosures: The number of foreclosure filings in Palm Bay Florida is being offset by the constant stream or Real Estate investors getting back in to the market at the bottom. However recently interest rates have climbs a bit which may slow Real Estate sales slightly if they continue to rise.

• Rising Real Estate mortgage rates will hopefully soon be over come by FED programs for Real Estate in Brevard County and city around the USA. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage spiked from 5.29 percent last week to 5.59 percent this week, Freddie Mac said Thursday. Yun acknowledged that rates above 6 percent would slow the recovery, but he predicted rates will fall to 5.2 percent later this year. “

• High Real Estate Inventories: The number of Brevard County homes for sale has fallen over the past year, but there remains a lot of homes on the market. Inventory “is still much higher than it should be,” but it is moving along rather nicely.

• With first times buyer credits of $8000 the majority of the market right now is first time buyers and investors. A first Time Home buyer in Brevard County can actually get county or state money up to $10,000 and I believe still collect the Federal First Time Home Buyer $8,000 tax Credit.

• A sluggish high-end market: Although properties priced at under $200,000 are moving quickly, the high-end market is “stagnant,” in part because of high rates for jumbo loans, said Rei Mesa of Prudential Florida Realty.

Landscaping MLS Listings
Is your MLS Listing landscaping at least as good as other, is your grass green, if not green it up fast with some $15 fertilizer from your local home store. Your lawn should be evenly cut, freshly edged, well watered, and free of brown spots.

MLS Listings Exterior
Paint or not to paint your MLS Listings? When you look at your house from across the street, does it look faded or fresh? Can you see the block edges through the stucco, do you have large brown water satins from your sprinklers? If so, a paint job may be in order; It is often a very good investment. Once again choose a light neutral color, dark blues, pinks, reds, purples and greens are no no's.

The MLS Listing front door should be especially sharp, since it is the entryway into the house. Polish the door fixture so it gleams. If the door needs refinishing or repainting, make sure to get that done.
If you have a cute little plaque or shingle with your MLS Listings on it, remove it. Even if it is just on the mailbox. You can always put it up again once you move. Get a new plush door mat, too. This is something else you can take with you once you move.
Make sure the MLS Listing lock works easily and the key fits properly. When a homebuyer comes to visit your home, the agent uses the key from the lock box to unlock the door. If there is trouble working the lock while everyone else stands around twiddling their thumbs, this sends a negative first impression to prospective homebuyers.

FORECLOSURES

The Brevard MLS actually has foreclosures listed all over the MLS system. Banks typically list foreclosures on the Brevard MLS within 4-6 months after the they foreclose. I have been unable to find out why Banks take so long to list foreclosed and investor homes on the Florida MLS system but it seem they take the tie to clear title and resolve legal issue. It may be that the REO departments that handle the single family , condo and town homes in the foreclosures process are so back up with the excess amount of short sales and bank foreclosures that it take them for months to get the homes listed on the Brevard County Florida MLS.

How to search the MLS

Many home buyers make the mistake of search to wide of an area when they search the Brevard County Florida MLS System. If Home buyers do not know where they want to live they should talk to a local friend or a realtor and explain where they will be working, how far they are willing to drive from their new Real Estate. Also consider how far shopping is from your new home. Because of gas prices today the distance from shopping and work can have a big impact on a new home owners monthly budget.

Rates on 30-year mortgages rise after Fed action

Half the economists polled by this week by Bankrate.com believe mortgage rates will continue going up over the next 30 to 45 days, while the other half expect little change. None predicted a mortgage rate decline.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- March 31, 2006 -- Rates on 30-year mortgages rose this week after the Federal Reserve pushed a key short-term rate up for the 15th time and indicated that more rate increases were possible.

Mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday that rates on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages averaged 6.35 percent this week, up from 6.32 percent last week.

The increase pushed rates to the highest level since they hit a 2 1/2-year high of 6.37 percent the week of March 9.

Analysts attributed the increase to the Fed's decision on Tuesday to raise the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other, to a five-year high of 4.75 percent while indicating that further rate hikes were possible.

"The market was a little surprised at the (Fed's) comments which implied more tightening in the future," said Frank Nothaft, chief economist for Freddie Mac.

"That raised the expectation that inflation may be more of a threat than was previously thought, and that kind of thinking promotes upward pressure on mortgage rates like we saw across the board this week," Nothaft said.

Rising mortgage rates are expected to cool off the extended boom in housing that saw sales of both new and existing homes set records for five consecutive years. Analysts are looking for sales to drop by around 6 percent this year.

Rates on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, a popular choice for refinancing a home mortgage, averaged 6.00 percent this week, up from 5.97 percent last week.

One-year adjustable rate mortgages rose to 5.51 percent, up from 5.41 percent last week.

Rates on five-year hybrid adjustable rate mortgages also rose, climbing to 6.02 percent, up from 5.96 percent last week.

The mortgage rates do not include add-on fees known as points. The 30-year and 15-year mortgages carried an average nationwide fee of 0.5 point while the one-year ARM had a fee of 0.8 point and the five-year ARM carried an average fee of 0.6 point.

A year ago, 30-year mortgages averaged 6.04 percent, 15-year mortgages stood at 5.58 percent, one-year adjustable-rate mortgages were at 4.33 percent and five-year hybrid adjustable rate mortgages averaged 5.43 percent.
