Moses Lake Home Sales Staying Steady

Moses Lake Home Sales Staying Steady

Homes Sales in Moses Lake, Washington, one of the fastest growing smaller cities in Washington, are growing steadily.

An average of 350 homes are consistently for sale over the past four months, and an average of 30 homes are sold each month. About 80-85 are continually in pending.

If you are interested in using a USDA loan, you can expect great benefits like no MIP, but you can also expect to wait 2-3 months before your transaction closes. The benefits of using USDA Rural loans, because of a lack of manpower in Olympia, (Sorry, folks!) it's taking longer to get loans. Let's get more underwriters hired so buyers can move into their homes!

The news about Spokane's Fairchild Air Force Base moving planes into Moses Lake temporarily next year will be bringing more purchasers into town, and new faces to greet! Fairchild needs to repave their runway, so that will take several months before that is complete.

Thank you to the many people who are choosing Moses Lake to fly from, into other cities such as Seattle and Spokane. We have great air service!

Amortization Calculators

I was showing a wonderful home on New Year's Eve to a family, and the buyer, who fell in love with it, asked me, "How much would the monthly payment be if I bought this house?" I thought to myself, "I should know this, but I'm not an expert (though I should be) in monthly payments." Fortunately, I KNOW an expert, and that's even better! So, I asked them if I could have a lender call them, and they said, "Yes!" They set up an appointment to meet with her.

But what if you want to know NOW? If you'd like to get an idea of what the monthly payments on your next home would be, I'd like to introduce you to Mike Bess' mortgage calculator online, (and you don't even need to disclose your name or other personal information.) Go to his online newsletter, scroll down to "DO THE MATH" and click on Amortization Schedule. Click here: http://realtytimes.com/ncm/81/1.MikeBess
