Mt. Hood Market Information on Sales for January 2013

Friday, February 15, 2013
by Liz Warren

I believe I had a little whiplash from the drop in number of sales in January 2013 compared to the run up in the last six months of 2012! January totals came in at four sales. After months of 10 to 14 sales per month it appears new tax policy or the fiscal cliff put a big brake on the run up towards the end of the year causing a little downturn.

Check Your Credit Report

Tuesday, February 12, 2013
by Liz Warren

Recent reports by the FTC are finding that between 10 and 21% of consumers have inaccuracies in their credit reports costing them higher interest rates for any purchases that need credit! That could be 42 Million people!  A recent 60 Minutes program brought this to light last Sunday and here is an article from Business Insider that discusses the specifics.

One of the most important issues that came to light is that it is difficult to dispute errors on your report and it is a lengthy process. Be sure and check your free credit report from all three credit agencies at annualcreditreport.com.. If you find an error, take action to remedy the mistake as soon as you can and have patience.

If you’re purchasing a home in the Mt. Hood area this could impact your monthly payment substantially. With the new CFPB Consumer Finance Protection Bureau rolling out their guides for low risk mortgages your credit score will become even more critical in getting the best interest rate for your purchase.
