Toms River, NJ Condos For Sale

Toms River Condos For Sale  

For some people, houses are more work than they have time for and a condominium is more in line with the amount of upkeep they can fit in their schedule. When you own a condominium you share the public spaces like gardens, pools, tennis courts, and/or gyms; upkeep of these communal places is done by a person who's hired to maintain them which is paid for by your strata fees.  

There are twenty-seven, 3 bedroom, and 2 bath condominiums available in Toms River for under $300,000.  These condos are in various locations like Saratoga, Penny Layne, River Pointe, Bey Lea, and Laurel Chase.  

Due to the close proximity of neighbors and the shared nature of the condominium, they can also cost distinctly less than a stand-alone house will, particularly when you factor in location and perks like a pool or gym facility.  

As with any purchase, make sure that what you think you want to have is what will actually work best for you. Take the time to look into what your needs are and what you have the time or money to actually utilize or upkeep. Making a purchase that accurately reflects your needs will keep you happier in the long run.

Mortgage Rates Start To Climb

If there are folks out there waiting to refinance their mortgage or to buy a home in the hopes those mortgage rates would go down even further may have lost their opportunity.

Mortgage rates have been at or near record lows, jumped this week to their highest level since August, according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey, released Thursday.

Rates on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage leaped to an average 4.39% for the week ending Nov. 18, its highest rate since early August, up from 4.17% last week, according to Freddie Mac's survey of conforming mortgage rates. The mortgage averaged 4.83% a year ago.  The 15-year loan, climbed to 3.76 percent from 3.57 percent, the lowest level since that survey began in 1991.

A combination of factors, including a fear of inflation and reaction to the Federal Reserve's plan, known as QE2, to purchase up to $600 billion in government bonds, likely led to the spike.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac collects rates from lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a single day.

Rates on five-year adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 3.4 percent, up from 3.25 percent, the lowest rate on records dating to January 2005. Rates on one-year adjustable-rate home loans were unchanged at 3.26 percent.

The rates don't include the add-on fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan.  Contact your mortgage broker or banker for more information.  If you don't have a mortgage broker, feel free to contact me for local brokers.  

BUT, let's not forget that mortgage rates are still very, very low in historic terms.
