Last week in the College Park market there were 9 new listings, 27 price reductions and 8 properties that went under contract. One of the pending sales was listed at $579,900 (lakefront) and the others were under $225,000.

Once again, average rates on a 30 year conventional loan fell to record lows. Last week marks an almost 50 year low at 4.56%. Rates on a 15 year conventional loan were 4.03%, on average. Guidelines are tightening, however, making it more difficult for buyers to qualify. If you're a qualified buyer, it's a great time. On a $400,000 house with a 30 year conventional mortgage, a 1 point difference in your interest rate can mean $200 off of your monthly payment.

Looks like a lot was going on in the 32804 while I was on vacation! There were some encouraging sales posted...nice to see something sell over $1 million. It's been awhile since we've seen that in College Park.

Just when you thought rates couldn't get any lower, they did. Average rates on a 30 year conventional loan were the lowest they've been in the history of tracking rates, rounding out at 4.57% last week. The qualified buyers out there are hopefully realizing these low rates, combined with the decline in values over the past year, make it a great time to buy.

Over the past two weeks in the College Park market there were 29 new listings, 34 price reductions and 18 properties that went under contract. Of the pending properties, 16 were listed under $220,000, 1 at $310,000 and another at $449,000.
