Hello and welcome to this week's Scoop.There is positive news this week in the housing market. First of all, the prime interest rate was cut this week by 1/2 percent. And, according to Chris Hutchens at Alpha Mortgage, "the mortgage industry is very liquid right now". The main concern for borrowers is that you need to expect to have full documentation for all loans. Interest rates at the moment are hovering between 6.25 and 6.5%. The message is to start searching for your home today at www.cbbaker.com. You can search by schools, map, zip codes, neighborhood and more. And, be sure to enjoy the weekend's activities around Wilmington. They are all right here for you! And remember....TGIF!
