My paper is about the recent situation and growth in the Hudson real estate market. I spoke with Kira Blair who works at Wells Fargo bank as a personal banker. Her impressions reflect what I’ve found in my literature research, which is firstly about the trend in real estate market. Kira said the trends of the rental market is that the need for lower rental for young people will continue to increase because younger people were unable to afford the mortgages when they enter the workforce for the first time. So without the funds to make a down payment or the credit to be approved for a mortgage, young people opted to rent and they may continue to rent in many years. Kira said that the demand for buying houses or apartments are not as much as …show more content…
Furthermore, Kira told me that the most difference between today and the bubble years before is that the bank has a strict regulation for the “credit box”. During the subprime mortgage bubble years, the bank didn’t qualify the customers whether they have income or they have job and ability to pay for the loans which is a significant reason for the bubbles and thus a lot of people lost their home at that time. For the credit score part, Wells Fargo’s standards are Excellent (760+), Good (700-759), Fair (621-699), Poor (620 and below) and No Credit Score. A good credit score shows that you’ve responsibly managed your debts and consistently made on-time payments every month. She said that the credit score matters because it can impact your interest rate, term, and credit limit. The higher your credit score, the more you may be able to borrow and the lower the interest rate you could receive. For example, if you want to borrow a loan amount of $15,000. For an excellent credit status, the average APR is 5% and the monthly payment is $352. For a good credit status, the average APR is 5% and the monthly payment is $391 and for a fair credit status, the average APR is 15% and the monthly payment is $427. It is obviously that the credit score has a significant influence for the loan payment. If you do not have a high credit score, you have to pay more every
This paper will seek to provide an overview of the real estate process and its affects on the real estate agent. An agent needs to be knowledgable about the steps required to make a sale, and the risks involved when the sale does not go as planned. Real estate sales require much of the agent, including sacrifices in their personal lives and in their financial stability. Agents must be teachable and willing to seek to see others succeed. A successful real estate sale consists of many steps, sacrifices to personal time, and an agent’s ability to work well with others while remaining incredibly flexible.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a reflection on the field trip to the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago. After a brief Introduction to the Context, the Watercress tool will be used to highlight my observations.

In hemingway's short story, “Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber”, Hemingway uses the writer's craft of perspective to develop the characterization of the three main protagonist.

Despite slow household growth in the last decade, there are several factors that indicate the housing market is set to rebound. The economy has seen a current increase in the number of people who are renting living spaces, whether they be apartment or homes (Searcey, 2015).

I 've been investing in the Las Vegas real estate market for several years and currently own a few rental homes there. This market used to be very good to me. Now, I take a financial loss on every rental property owned in Clark County Nevada. The Las Vegas real estate market has not fared well with the roll of the dice. The only winners in this game of roulette have been the banks. Speculators are convinced Las Vegas is paying the price for all its sins, as if the state of Nevada is being forced to pay a karmic debt through an endless sea of foreclosures. I suppose they could be right, but considering the entire country is littered with bank owned homes I 'm thinking blame rests with greedy Wall Street investors, not the powers of the Universe. Vegas has taken a hard hit on many levels. It 's difficult for a city that relies on people tossing around disposable income to survive during economic recession. As the tourist industry declined a lot of people lost their jobs. Before long they lost their home to foreclosure. In the past 2 years, nearly 20,000 residents have moved away from lack of employment opportunities. I have a rental property located in a community hit hard by foreclosure. Each time I drive by the house I look out over an endless sea of short sale and bank owned "For Sale" signs. It 's become such a ghost town I expect to see tumbleweed rolling down the middle of the street. I was talking with a realtor friend who makes a living selling high-end real

The current real estate crisis that America finds itself in is one of the greatest challenges America has ever faced. America’s troubles are further compounded by increasing unemployment of American citizens and environmental problems like global warming. Solving any one of these problems would be a Herculean task, yet they must each be addressed in order to protect American families from disaster. However, it is possible to find a solution to the problems of the real estate crisis that can also be used to improve the problems of the unemployment and environmental destruction. The first part of the solution involves the United States government purchasing the homes that have been foreclosed and using them to offer temporary housing to
Interest rates have a major economic impact on the real estate market. Interest rates directly affect property sales. Residential property realizes the greatest affect as interest rates have a considerable influence on a homebuyer’s capability to purchase a new property. The customer is affected when there are significant increases or decreases in interest rates. Declining interest rates lower the costs of obtaining a mortgage; this in turn creates higher demand for homes, and pushes home prices up. Conversely, high interest rates increase the costs to obtain a mortgage; these increases lower the demand for homes, which creates a decline in home prices. (Stammers, 2016)
