Never Forget. 4/27/11.

Posted on April 27, 2012 by phyllisolive

“Out of Chaos Comes Hope.”

One year ago today Tuscaloosa was changed forever. The tornado ripped through not only our beloved town, but the entire Southeast,  and left utter destruction in it’s path. The damage was unimaginable.

Under the leadership of Mayor Maddox, Tuscaloosa has come back…in a big way. Over 6,000 homes and businesses were destroyed that day. Several business have broken ground on their new locations, some have re-opened their doors for good. Families are rebuilding homes or finding comfort in their new homes. It’s all coming together for this great city.

There will be a memorial service held tonight at 5 PM in Coleman Coliseum. All are encouraged to attend.

Growth in the Tuscaloosa market matched the growth of the state. I’m happy to report Tuscaloosa and the state outperformed the national growth rate, which was 8.8% compared to February of 2011. The National Association of REALTORS (NAR) reported February sales for the region increased 9.3% from the prior year as well.

Low Interest Rates, Buy NOW!

Posted on August 12, 2011 by phyllisolive

I know you have heard this before, but it truly is a buyer’s market. The Federal Reserve has set interest rates at a near-zero target rate. The Fed hopes that these historically low rates will allow consumers to move forward with greater certainty as they consider making major purchases, such as homes and cars.

Interest rates are below 4% for a 30-year conventional mortgage, that is almost unheard of! The Fed proposed to keep the rates low for the next two years to increase consumer confidence, as well as increase investments.
