According to the National Association of Realtors™ (NAR) 2015 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, single women made up 18% of all first-time homebuyers last year, second only to married couples who made up 54% of total buyers. Whether they are young, single and no longer want to rent, or newly divorced, the amount of single women becoming homeowners greatly outnumbers single males (11%). A survey of recent home buyers revealed some interesting trends about this rapidly growing group:
Average Age: 32 years old
Average Income: $49,400
Single women are more likely to become preapproved for a mortgage in order to know their budget at the beginning of the home buying process and to be able to make a move if they find their dream home.
Many female homebuyers think long-term when considering buying a home, often considering what amenities they may need in the near future.
So what do women like best about homeownership? They believe that they are investing in their future by building equity and financial security. They are also very happy to no longer be paying their landlord’s mortgage payment. Being independent and having control over their environment is a key factor.
It appears that it is not marriage before mortgage any longer, for either gender. As we reported yesterday, unmarried couples make up 13% of buyers, while single males account for 11%.
Bottom Line
If owning a home of your own has always been your dream, meet with a local real estate professional who can help determine if your dream can become a reality sooner than you think.

To show our city’s strength, I invite you all to join me next week at Lake Eola, at sunset, to silently honor and remember the events that transpired on the early morning of Sunday 12 June 2016. The City Beautiful was victim to the largest single mass shooting in our nation’s history. All I ask is one lap around the lake, starting and ending on the corner of 512 E Washington St Orlando, FL 32801, where we will leave our candles and set up a memorial. I encourage everyone bring candles, cups and or flowers to leave behind. I will personally provide about 100 but thousands have been offered as donations. If everyone brought something to share that would be nice to show our community’s strength and support one another. Everyone is encouraged to bring flowers, candles, customs signs of peace (nothing political this is just as sign of love for those loss) , Flags of any peaceful Country/ organization/ branch of service, etc.
WHEN: Sunday 19 June 2016 -@ 8pm-9pm WHERE: Lake Eola – Starting and ending on the corner of 512 E Washington St Orlando, FL 32801 COST: FREE

Did you know that you are entitled to a free credit report once a year from all of the major credit reporting companies? I don’t know about you but that is news to me! If you are in the market to purchase a new home and have not had your credit report pulled lately you may be happy to find this news out! By checking your credit report before you purchase a home or for any other reason for that matter you will be able to see if there is anything on your credit report that is not accurate and remove it and you may also be able to find out if you have been the latest victim of identity theft. The major credit reporting companies are Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. If you want to get your yearly free credit report all you have to do is go to each of these sites and click on “Request Your Credit Reports”. You can also send a letter to each of the three major credit reporting companies. A few tips to follow are below.
Be sure that if you get on a credit report website and are asked for money that you do not respond. There are many hackers out there trying to get your information and this is just one of the many ways in which they do it.
Do not give out your social security number unless you are on a site that you know is secure.
Check your credit report every four months or so to be sure that your account hasn’t been compromised.
There are credit monitoring companies you can hire to keep a watchful eye on your credit report if you feel it is necessary to do so.
Again, be sure that you are not asked for any monies when trying to get your free credit report. Be assured that there are many companies out there that claim they will give you a free credit report only to ask you for your credit card information at the very last step. Step away from those companies and continue with your search until you find one that lets you leave the page without asking for any form of payment. Once you get your report you can then be on your way to making any changes needed to help improve your score. When you get your credit where you want it and where it needs to be, the world will open up to you in ways you never thought possible.

There are many people sitting on the sidelines trying to decide if they should purchase a home or sign a rental lease. Some might wonder if it makes sense to purchase a house before they are married and have a family. Others may think they are too young. And still others might think their current income would never enable them to qualify for a mortgage. We want to share what the typical first-time homebuyer actually looks like based on the National Association of REALTORS most recent Profile of Home Buyers & Sellers. Here are some interesting revelations on the first time buyer:
Bottom Line

The Silver Spurs Rodeo will kick off the start of summer with performances on June 10th and 12th! Both performances are put on by the Silver Spurs Club, a local 501(c)(5) nonprofit formed more than 70 years ago. The Silver Spurs Rodeo will include traditional rodeo events including bull riding, bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, steer wrestling, and team roping. To keep our rodeo’s traditions, there will be the calf scramble for the children to participate in during the rodeo.
The Wrangler Champions Challenge presented by Justin Boots is a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) event that is hosted by the Silver Spurs Club. This performance is a one-night header with the seven standard PRCA events: tie-down roping, team roping, steer roping, barrel racing (women only), bull riding, bronc riding, and saddle bronc riding. The biggest difference between the Wrangler Champions Challenge and the Silver Spurs Rodeo is that the Champions Challenge is the fifth stop of the 2016 series of eight single-round rodeo performances. During this performance, top cowboys are pitted against the best livestock and are competing for their share of $128,000 in prize money!

Every four years people question what effect the Presidential election might have on the national housing market. Let’s take a look at what is currently taking place. The New York Times ran an article earlier this week where they explained:
“A growing body of research shows that during presidential election years — particularly ones like this when there is such uncertainty about the nation’s future — industry becomes almost paralyzed. A look at the last several dozen election cycles shows that during the final year of a presidential term, big corporate investments are routinely postponed, and big deals are put on the back burner.The research is even more persuasive on the final year of an eight-year presidential term, when a new candidate inevitably will become president.”
We are seeing this take form in the latest economic numbers. However, will this lead to a slowdown in the housing market? Not according to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the National Association of Realtors.
The Impact on Housing Throughout 2016
Let’s look at what has happened and what is projected to happen by these three major entities.
“In spite of deficient supply levels, stock market volatility and the paltry economic growth seen so far this year, the housing market did show resilience and had its best first quarter of existing-sales since 2007.”
Freddie Mac
“Recent data darkened the growth outlook for the first quarter of 2016. However, despite the disappointing economic reports, we still forecast housing to maintain its momentum in 2016.”
Fannie Mae
“Consumers and businesses showed caution at the end of the first quarter…(but) Home sales are expected to pick up heading into the spring season amid the backdrop of declining mortgage rates, rising pending home sales and purchase mortgage applications, and continued easing of lending standards on residential mortgage loans.”
Bottom Line
Even during this election year, the desire to achieve the American Dream is greater than the fear of uncertainty of the next presidency.
