It's no secret.....rents are increasing and availability is limited.....

at M. C. Real Estate we offer property management and rentals, but that inventory is limited.  Think about contacting one of our M. C. Realtors to get started on the process of getting approved to purchase a home.  We work with many local lenders that are well qualified to assist buyers in getting approved for a home loan that offers a monthly payment that is often the same or less than what they would expect to pay in rent!  Check out the national statistics:

Mortgage Rates Still Dropping, Hit New Lows

Mortgage Rates | Jan 22, 2015 | By: Rachel Stults
AlexRaths/iStock/Thinkstock Fixed mortgage rates inched down again for the fourth consecutive week, bringing them to new lows in early 2015. Averaging 3.63%, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is at its lowest level since the week ending May 23, 2013, according to the latest survey from mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. Last week at this time, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 3.66%. A year ago, it was trending at 4.39%. “I don’t think there will be much upward pressure on rates next week and doubt they will drop much lower than where they are at now,” said Polyana da Costa, senior mortgage reporter at Bankrate.com, which surveys experts in the mortgage industry to see if they believe mortgage rates will rise, fall, or remain relatively unchanged. The low rates have led to a surge in mortgage applications recently. Mortgage application volume jumped 14.2% over the last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). Total volume is now 41% higher than it was one year ago, and it’s driven entirely by refinances, the MBA says. Applications to refinance increased by 22% week-over-week––up 63% from a year ago. The average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage also registered a drop, to 2.93% from 2.98% last week. A year ago, it averaged 3.44%, according to Freddie Mac. Averages for the two most popular hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages were mixed. The five-year ARM dropped from 2.90% to 2.83% week-over-week. The one-year ARM held steady at 2.37%. In the latest Mortgage Rate Trend Index, 59% of the panelists polled think rates will remain relatively unchanged, while 33% predict rates will decrease. “Due to the lack of big economic news this week and the fact that last Friday (Jan. 16) saw a jump in mortgage rates, I expect the market to correct itself,” said Shashank Shekhar, CEO of Arcus Lending in San Jose, CA. “The rates will mostly remain flat but should go down by a small margin.”

It's OFFICIAL! We've made the move....WE ARE now MC!



It is with great excitement to announce that Padgett-Young, a long-time local Lodi real estate brokerage, is joining the team at M.C. Real Estate following the retirement of Harold Young.  Founded and operated by Harold, Padgett-Young has been a staple of the community and the go-to partner for homebuyers and sellers in the Lodi and the surrounding communities for decades.

The team in Lodi consists of four agents, who will continue to work out of their current location at 216 Wooster Street, Lodi, OH.  The sign on the marquee will change to M.C. Real Estate, but the services will remain the same.  Buyers and sellers will still be working with the same great people:  Anita Weaver, Linda Remington, Paul Emerson, and Michele Filous.

“Michele, Anita, Paul, and I are taking our talents to M.C. Real Estate’s Lodi office,” joked Linda Remington.  “This transition will bring the best of both worlds to local market.  Clients wanting to work with agents that live in and know the area they work will find that we are able to offer some added services along with fresh technology i n addition to the personalized local service they have grown to expect from us.”

“The team at M.C. Real Estate is very happy to add such a quality brokerage to our family.  The local expertise in that office is well known, and will allow us to continue to provide outstanding services to our clients within the southern part of Medina County and surrounding counties.  This is really a great opportunity for all of us,” said Brandon Marquard, President at M.C. Real Estate.

Time to get this blog reactivated!

Life Happens....it's one of my go to reasonings because it is so "apt".  There are so many avenues to market yourself personally and your listings, as well as those of my company that I have let this particular blog slide through the cracks.  I always thought it was one of the easier sites to work with, but with blogger and gmail changes and migrating my email to the outlook platform I do admit I let this blog take a back burner.

The local real estate market has been active and I have continued to be busy doing business...so that is all good.  Add to that and in the past year, my husband and I personally purchased a condo in Florida (REO), celebrated our daughter's wedding and all of the festivities and planning that go along with that, moved some furniture to the condo in FL so it was ready to be utilized, sold our 47 acre farm and downsized to a smaller home and 5 acres down the road.  Let's just say it's been a very busy and exciting, and I've still maintained a solid year of sales.  At the beginning of last year I was carrying a rather large listing inventory, but with the upturn in the market, most were sold and I find myself working for more listings and looking harder for homes for the buyers I'm working with. 

This post will serve as my trial to the newer format (to me) and my kickstart to hopefully be more proactive and get this linked to the office website and streamlined with other social media sites as well.

Thanks for checking in.
