Are you a Responsible Dog Owner? This is a MUST Read.

Posted by Martin Kalisker, Boston Home Specialist on October 8th, 2008

As a Massachusetts resident who has registered a dog with the American Kennel Club over the past five years, the AKC would like to notify you of Massachusetts House Bill 5092. Opposed by both the American Kennel Club and its Massachusetts federation, the Massachusetts Federation of Dog Clubs, HB 5092 is a conglomeration of many anti-dog, anti-responsible dog owner, and anti-responsible dog breeder proposals.

For specific information on HB 5092, please click here to view AKC’s post.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

The AKC encourages all Massachusetts residents to contact their state representative and express their …

Don’t Overlook the Value of Bathroom Improvements!!!

Posted by Martin Kalisker, Boston Home Specialist on September 20th, 2008

Valuable information to share with buyers and sellers.
According to the National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) annual “Cost vs. Value Report,” the bathroom is one of the most important features potential buyers look for in a home. What’s more, NAR’s 2007 report shows that a bathroom remodel recouped 93.2 percent of the initial cost upon selling the home.
Will Smith, celebrity interior designer, suggests that homeowners pay close attention to the bathroom mirror, paint, hardware and lighting. Each can easily and inexpensively be updated to provide a current look for a bathroom.
Making over a bathroom on …

Where Do Mortgage Rates Come From?

Posted by Martin Kalisker, Boston Home Specialist on August 5th, 2008

Where do mortgage rates come from? Not the 10 year nor 30 year Treasury as many think.

Why and how mortgage rates change in the marketplace is often misunderstood – even by the news media. They often report mortgage rates will go down when the Federal Reserve announces a rate cut when sometimes the opposite can happen.

How do Federal Reserve rate changes affect mortgages?

Fed rate changes don’t directly affect mortgage rates. Instead, they affect the inflation expectations of investors. The role of the Federal Reserve in our economy is to control inflation so we have long-term economic growth and prosperity. If …

Bye Bye Newspaper Advertising For Real Estate

Posted by Martin Kalisker, Boston Home Specialist on August 4th, 2008

As further evidence of the shift to online advertising, the Los Angeles Times has announced it will no longer publish its weekly real estate section. Click here for the entire news story.

Is Boston next? As a Realtor®, I am often asked by Sellers and Agents alike, why I am reluctant to use the newspaper for marketing and listing of properties for sale. Besides the high cost and low return on the advertising dollar spent, over 80% of homes are sold because somebody saw the listing on the Internet.. What could be more convincing?

I …

FAQs about HOPE For Homeowners Legislation

Posted by Martin Kalisker, Boston Home Specialist on July 30th, 2008

This is hot off the press news. President Bush just signed into law the HOPE For Homeowners legislation on July 30, 2008.

When does the program start?

The legislation is effective upon enactment; the HOPE for Homeowners program goes into effect on October 1, 2008. The Oversight Board will write more detailed program rules.

What agency is administering it? Will people be calling state offices or federal? Or will people just contact their lenders directly?

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will administer the program. The process begins when a homeowner or servicer of an existing eligible loan contacts an FHA-approved lender. Homeowners can …
