Philadelphia AVI Update!

/ Jim Onesti, Realtor, Development Expert / Leave a comment

As you know the AVI Actual value Initiative affects the value of homes and is the basis for our real estate taxes. GPAR has and is continuing to work with City Council on various pieces of legislation that would protect homeowners from tremendous increases in their real estate taxes.

The link below will show 3 forms for you to distribute to your clients who may need some form of relief of the tax burden:

1.     Senior Tax Freeze (filing deadline January 31, 2014) – Your real estate taxes are “frozen” at the 2013 amount. To be eligible, you must be low income (less than $23, 500 in annual income if single; $31,500 if married) and over 65 (or be a widow/widower over 50 whose deceased spouse was over 65).

2.     Homestead Exemptions (filing deadline September 13, 2013) – $30,000 is deducted from the assessment from owner-occupied residences. Applications were sent to all homeowners late 2012. You can check to see if you have applied by visiting: http://avicalculator.phila.gov  type in your address and under Property Information, verify that “YES” is under Homestead. If “NO” then complete attached form.

3.     BRT Appeal – (filing deadline October 7, 2013) – If you believe that the assessment is truly inaccurate as determined by the OPA (office of Property Assessment) you can appeal to the Board of Revision of Taxes. While on appeal, you will pay your real estate taxes at the 2013 rate with no interest and penalty accruing until the BRT rules on your case.

Interest Rates still at historically low levels!!!!!!!!!!!! But for how much longer?

/ Jim Onesti, Realtor, Development Expert / Leave a comment

photoAnother week of strong economic data would normally push mortgage rates a little higher, however, rates recovered some ground instead and ended the week slightly lower. The big report this week was a very strong Retail Sales report. This report is always watched very closely as a major economic indicator due to Retail Sales accounting for about 70% of all economic activity in the US. This kind of strong economic growth should support continued improvement in the housing market.
Regarding some day-to-day stuff…it is normal this time of year to see pending closing dates on agreements of sale going into the summer. Often the pending close date is outside the free 60 day rate-lock period Trident honors. (which is nice considering most banks/lenders/brokers will only lock for 30 days for free) In these extended closing date cases we can lock the rate for longer than the standard 60 days, but there are costs associated with this option. Typically the cost is about .5% of the loan amount for every extra 30 days needed in the rate-lock period. While the buyer will always have this option to pay to lock-in we’ll also track the rates closely for your clients if they choose not to lock-in and patiently wait until they’re within the 60 day free rate lock period.cropped-2.jpg
