Woodbridge Virginia Home Loans More Affordable As Lower Consumer Debt Frees Money For Home Loans

Folks, here is the short and sweet summary of the economic report below: Things keep getting better and better for home buyers and home sellers in Woodbridge.

Now, you folks who really dig statistics, percentages, index adjustments are welcome to read on from here...

According to the Federal Reserve, consumer credit debt fell in July by $21.6 billion, an annual rate of 10.5%. It was the biggest decline since recordkeeping began in 1943. Economists had forecast consumer debt would drop $4 billion. Total consumer credit debt in July was $2.47 trillion. Meanwhile, the figures for June were upwardly revised. Consumers reduced their borrowing in June by $15.5 billion.

The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage applications for the week ending September 4 rose 17% to 648.3 from 554.1 in the prior week. Purchase volume rose 9.5% to 304.1. Refinancing applications increased 22.5% to 2,651.2.

The Commerce Department reported gains in both trade imports and exports, which indicates that the worst recession since the 1930s may be ending. Imports in July rose 4.7% to $159.6 billion. It was the largest monthly advance since recordkeeping began in 1992 and the second monthly increase after 10 monthly declines. Exports rose 2.2% to $127.6 billion, the third straight monthly increase.

Initial claims for unemployment benefits fell by 26,000 to 550,000 in the week ending September 5. The figure was lower than the 560,000 that economists had forecast. The number of people continuing to claim jobless benefits in the week ending August 29 fell by 159,000 to 6.09 million.

The Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for September increased to 70.2 from 65.7 in August. Economists had forecast a reading of 67.5.

The Commerce Department said wholesalers reduced their inventories by 1.4% in July, following a revised 2.1% drop in June. It was the 11th straight monthly decline. Meanwhile, sales at the wholesale level rose 0.5% in July, the third consecutive monthly gain.

Upcoming on the economic calendar are reports on retail sales on September 15, the housing market index on September 16 and housing starts on September 17.

Woodbridge Real Estate For Sale Now Back To A Sellers Market

Selling over 2,000 homes over 20+ years in Northern Virginia, and Woodbridge in particular, lots of folks know me as "The Local Real Estate Guy."

Folks often just walk up to me in Safeway, or at Walmart, or anywhere else, and ask me questions about real estate.  I don't know them, but they know me from decades of yard signs with my photo, or print ads, or community events.

The most common question I got this summer was, "When will the real estate market here hit bottom?"

They are surprised, even stunned when they find out from me that the home price "bottom" was hit around April/May 2008.  They are astounded when they find out that sales have been running at a ferociously fast pace through the rest of 2008, and into 2009.

Here is a news report sent to me this morning by a local mortgage expert.

"Existing home sales jumped 7.2% in July - the biggest monthly gain on record. First-time homebuyers are purchasing about one third of all homes sold. This is largely due to the tax incentive, interest rates hovering at historic lows and housing affordability at its best level in more than a decade."

Woodbridge Real Estate News Features A Four Year Young Huge House On Five Acres I Saw This Week

Monster House In A Country Club Community With World Class Golf Course

Million Dollar Woodbridge Home For Just $799,900 That I Saw With Buyers

Lovely luxury executive home on a quiet street with trees and privacy in River Falls, Woodbridge VA.

River Falls offers you homes backing to the greens and fairways of Old Hickory Golf Club.  Old Hickory is among my personal top 5 best golf courses in Northern Virginia.

Check out these photos of a home in Woodbridge, VA 22192:

Note: In my original post, I published the street address so that you could find the house and drive by yourself.  If you liked it, you could call the listing agent from your cell phone, using ther agent's phone number on the "For Sale" sign. 

The listing agent sent me a nasty-gram telling me to remove the address immediately. 

Geez folks, if another agent loved one of my listings enough to take photos and post them on his/her blog, plus the address, I would be THRILLED to have the free advertising, and an endorsement from a colleague.

Different strokes for different folks.
