Too much snow on Roof & Ice Dam Ceiling leak

Wednesday, February 9, 2011
by Tom Stachler,ABR,CDPE - Group One Realty Team

The more insulation we put into our attics, the less heat is lost and the snow on your roof can remain longer.  Sunny days can heat up darker shingles to help melt snow, but this can lead to ice dam problems and ceiling leaks too.  

With all the snow we have had this year, you might want to be proactive with winter roof care.  Get a roof snow scraper or rake/blade to pull some of the snow off your roof.  This is especially important in areas that might backup near flashings and then leak inside our Home.  

Check out this link to get more information on this topic.  The conditions are right for more of this to happen.  Of course, if you know someone looking for real estate services, please give them the URL of this website to get started.  

Have a great day!

Mortgage Rates Drop

Sunday, January 16, 2011
by Tom Stachler - Group One Realty Team - Real Estate

Freddie Mac (OTC: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®). The survey results showed lower mortgage rates for both long- and short-term rates, with the 30-year reaching a four-week low.

30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 4.71 percent with an average 0.8 point for the week ending January 13, 2011, down from last week when it averaged 4.77 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 5.06 percent.

15-year FRM this week averaged 4.08 percent with an average 0.7 point, down from last week when it averaged 4.13 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 4.45 percent.

5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 3.72 percent this week, with an average 0.7 point, down from last week when it averaged 3.75 percent. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 4.32 percent.

1-year Treasury-indexed ARM averaged 3.23 percent this week with an average 0.6 point, down from last week when it averaged 3.24 percent. At this time last year, the 1-year ARM averaged 4.39 percent.

Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist of Freddie Mac, reports, “Bond yields drifted lower following the release of the December employment report , which was weaker than the market consensus forecast and implied that the labor market is still in a sluggish recovery. Fixed mortgage rates followed bond yields lower for a second consecutive week, bringing them to a four-week low.”
