Hi! My name is Tim Wright. I moved to Wisconsin in 2008 and now live in Kenosha with my growing family. Prior to moving I was a realtor in northern Michigan for a number of years.
I have Bachelor’s Degrees in Criminal Justice and Elementary Education, but soon found that Real Estate is a great passion of mine; I enjoy the unique details of houses and seeing people turn houses into homes. Since then I have completed courses in Marketing, Real Estate Law, Ethics and Home Marketing Specialties.
Through my family I have become involved with the Continental Band program, Girl Scouts, CYC Sports, and the Wolfenbüttel, Germany High School Exchange program here in Kenosha.

As promised in earlier posts, here is an update on the Ice Boating Community, in Wisconsin. Youth Ice-Boating just held the North Americans in Michigan. Despite less than stellar wind and overall 
conditions, some local Milwaukee and Madison area youth participated and finished with “hardware”. With the recent thaw and then “deep freeze”, we are right back in prime ice-boating conditions in Southeastern Wisconsin. Check out this site to see interesting articles on recent and upcoming events in the area. There are some fabulous action shots also! Have fun, and dress warm!

Contrary to the belief of some home sellers, NOW is a good time to sell! Mortgage rates are still at historic lows. Pair the rates with the $8000 first time homebuyer credit, and the climate is very favorable for buyers and sellers.
A tool for home sellers is the "
Rate Relief Program", offered by Wisconsin Mortgage, and marketed by Shorewest Realtors. This program is an incentive by the seller, to buy down the interest rate for a prospective buyer. It also can cover some of the buyer’s prepaid and closing costs.
Here is an example of how it works:
The seller commits to pay 3% of the purchase price towards a financing package from Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation.
This provides a savings of over $200 per month, and approximately $77,000 over 30 years.
Obviously, this is a winning scenario for a buyer, but it also benefits a seller. Sellers offering this can receive special marketing, an increased buying pool and less negotiation on sales price…a win/win for everyone.

There has been a market reset! All pricing has come down. Whether you are selling or buying, in every price range. Think of it as, am I going to get less for my house if I sell at this time? Yes, because the selling prices have retreated from the high of the market. This is also true when you go to buy. There is a price differential that is similar to when the market was at its high, so you indeed may get less now when you sell, but you are also going to pay less for what you want to buy. Whether you’re in a great market or a declining market, the price differential between buying / selling will maintain a similar relationship. I have laid out an example below for a purchase with a jumbo mortgage.
The advantage you have now is the interest rates are at a 30 to 40 year low. The assumption is, this is a mortgage only, added taxes or insurance are not included. If you are able to decrease the mortgage amount to less than $417,000, which is the limit for a conventional mortgage, you can get an even better rate! Would you like an even lower rate? Stay tuned to my next article on our new Rate Relief program for buyers and sellers!
Yes indeed, THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO SELL AND BUY!
