LA monthly mortgage payments increased 40%

Real estate experts blame this on the high prices of homes and mortgage rates for this occurrence according to CBSNews.com.

LA county home sale transactions are down, prices are up

In Los Angeles County, the median home price rose 3.8% to $630,000, while sales dropped 35.2%.

I suspect transactions are down because a good chunk of sellers took their properties off the market.

Fewer homes on the market obviously mean fewer homes can be sold.

The homeowners that did keep their home on the market are not experiencing price drops... it's actually the opposite.

Home prices continued to see marginal gains from a year earlier.

If you are waiting for a market crash, don't hold your breath.

Housing inventory has gone down 21.8% in LA

Over the last 12 months, housing inventory has gone down 21.8% in the Los Angeles area.

That means there are a lot fewer homes for sale now then there was a year ago.

I expect this trend to continue because low-interest rates will cause there to be an even stronger than usual buyer demand this #Spring.

P.M.I.

It's not the end of the world if you have to get P.M.I., but it should be avoided if possible.

If you can put at least 20% down when buying a home.

By doing so the lender won't require you to get P.M.I.

P.M.I. = Waste Of Money

P.M.I. stands for Private Mortgage Insurance.

Typically when buying a home, you have to pay P.M.I. if you put less than 20% for your down payment.

PMI protects the lender, not you if you stop making payments on your loan.

Think about that... the insurance is to protect them, but you have to pay for it!

Depending on your loan amount, it can cost you $200, $300, $400, on top of your mortgage payment.

You should avoid this if possible

Put at least 20% down and you will avoid paying P.M.I.

Tonight, I need you to be my spy

At tonight's New Year’s Eve party, while you are with your friends and family, I need you to do a little spying for me.

Someone at the party is going to bring up the topic of real estate.

They are going to say that they are thinking about selling their home in 2020.

I know you will be drinking a lot... but try to remember the person who said that.

Then, text me and say "Daniel, I have a friend looking to sell". I'll take it from there. 😉

My goal for 2020 is to help as many people as possible sell their property.

To do that, I really need your help investigating and letting me know which of your friends and family members are thinking about selling.

Thank you for all your help in 2019 and thank you in advance for all your upcoming help in the new year!

Happy New Year!!!
