We’re going to focus on the beautiful days around Lake Keowee right now to try and avoid thinking about the tough weekend for the Tigers and Gamecocks. Coach Swinney has said, “The fun is in the winning” many times over the years. That means you Duke, North Carolina and even Florida State fans are having a blast. Congratulations! Well played. We Clemson and Carolina fans are hoping to have more fun next weekend. Lake Keowee real estate is the focus today….ergghhheee.
Another really good week for us as we were able to put a Clemson gameday condo under contract and 4 Lake Keowee waterfront lots under contract. Sellers and buyers are really taking advantage of the market and jumping on these opportunities. That’s why you fence sitting sellers need to morph into capital S sellers. Take advantage of the market while the taking is right. Buyers have the money and you’ve got what they need. It won’t always be this way.
Give us a call, let us get you up to date on where your property sits. Don’t cost nuttin’.
Home Buyers: A Critical Guide To Home Loans:
Choosing the right mortgage will affect your very financial future. Here’s vital information to help you weigh your options and make a sound decision.
An Insider’s Guide to Understanding Mortgage Loans
there was a time in the not-so-distant past when financing the purchase of a home was relatively uncomplicated. You went to your local savings and loan and signed up for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage loan.
Those days are gone, probably forever. Today, you have what seems like an endless array of choices – different rates, terms, down payments, fees, etc. (One lender told me there are literally more than 40,000 available loan options!) So how do you pick the combination that makes the most sense for you?
Having spent 30 plus years helping buyers understand the ins and outs of financing a Lake Keowee home or waterfront property, I’ve developed this guide to assist you in evaluating which mortgage is best for you. More than any other single factor, choosing the right mortgage will influence whether or not your investment is a good one. Let’s say you get a great price on a home, but you end up with a mortgage that has high fees and a high interest rate. you could see the money you saved disappear in a very short time.
Keep in mind that a great mortgage for one person may be terrible for you. Each of us has different circumstances that determine whether a particular loan is a good deal or not – whether you’re just starting out or nearing retirement, how secure your job is, how long you plan to be in the home, etc. You can be sure that the best loan for the first-time home buyer planning to move up in five years is quite different from the best loan for a couple who’s staying for the next 20 years.
