STILL RENTING? WOULDN’T YOU RATHER PAY LESS FOR A MORTGAGE THAN YOU’RE PAYING IN RENT?

“The median monthly mortgage payment of about $700 has fallen to about the level of a median monthly rent check,” an article at MSNBC.com notes about Diggle’s analysis. “If mortgage rates keep falling and rents keep rising, the equation will tip even further toward owning.”

More Buyers Ready to Get Off the Sidelines?

DAILY REAL ESTATE NEWS | TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2012

When you compare the cost of owning a home to renting, you’ll find that buying may soon make more sense, Paul Diggle, a housing economist at Capital Economics, told MSNBC.com.

Diggle’s analysis of the housing market showed a 33 percent drop in home prices, record-low mortgage rates (with 30-year fixed-rate mortgages available under 4 percent now), and a 15 percent rise in rents since the housing market turned sour are making more consumers take a closer look at buying.

Case in point: Diggle says that a buyer who purchases a median-priced home and stays there for at least seven years would likely come out ahead by about $9,000 than if they chose to rent for those seven years. Diggle’s calculations factor in rents continuing to rise 3 percent a year, and housing prices staying flat for the next two years before rising in 2014.

But while more Americans may be motivated to buy, many still can’t, Diggle notes. Home owners who lost their home to foreclosure may be forced to wait on the sidelines before owning again, other Americans may not have a 20 percent down payment that more lenders are wanting, lack a high credit score to qualify for the best financing, or have steady employment.

Marvel Cup Award Recipient is Named by Delaware State Chamber of Commerce!

It was certainly an honor to have attended the annual Marvel Cup Award dinner with my husband, Tommy Cooper , Chairman of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce, last night in Wilmington, DE. The Marvel Cup Award was established in 1951 to honor a Delawarean who has made an outstanding contribution to the state, community and society. It is named in memory of Josiah Marvel, who reorganized the Chamber of Commerce and was the first president of the modern-day chamber in 1913-1914. Each year, the Chamber honors a deserving recipient, and this year Mr. Robert F. Rider was that recipient.

I enjoyed being a part of the celebration at last night’s event, and I am proud of my husband, Tommy Cooper, for the speech he made and for his part in a successful program! Last night’s event marked the completion of Tommy’s term as Chairman of the State Chamber. He turned his gavel over to William Allan, retired President of Verizon Delaware. During Tommy’s speech, he challenged all of those in attendance to continue working to make a difference in the growth of Delaware. It’s a challenge that everyone gladly accepted.

MUMMER PARADE – A GREAT PHILADELPHIA TRADITION!!!

Celebrating the New Year includes enjoying many traditions. For years, Tommy and I have enjoyed celebrating the New Year in Philadelphia. We drive up on New Year’s Eve, and our celebration begins with lunch at this amazing restaurant on Rittenhouse Square. It is called Rouge. It is a very festive spot, with great food and interesting “people watching”! After lunch, we relax at the Rittenhouse Hotel. Before dinner, we have a glass of champagne in the lounge at Le Bec Fin, and then we walk to The Prime Rib for a fabulous bottle of wine and amazing steak dinner. After dinner, we change in to warm clothes and hike to Penn’s Landing for the fireworks. This year’s display was very impressive!! After the fireworks, we head back to Rouge for a night cap. Rouge always has helium balloons floating around, and Tommy and I grab a couple as we head out the door for our traditional “release” in Rittenhouse Square Park. We hold on to the string, think of a wish for the new year, and at the count of three release our balloons and watch them float off into the night sky. It’s pretty fun to see how high they soar. This year, they almost got caught in a tree. But, they took a hard right turn just in time and went so high that we lost sight of them – a very successful flight :-).

On New Year’s Day, we enjoy a relaxing breakfast before heading out to the Mummers Parade. An annual tradition, the Mummers Parade features 10,000 men and women dressed in colorfully lavish costumes as they twirl, sashay, pirouette and strut up one of the city’s main streets. An unforgettably wild ritual, the parade and subsequent performances are all family-friendly and fun for everyone.

If you’ve never been to a Mummers Parade, you really should include it on your “bucket list”. It’s a lot of fun for the whole family. I just have one very important piece of advice……DRESS WARMLY!!! Author ~ Connie Cooper

NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM FUNDS AVAILABLE

Now is your chance to take advantage of the funds made available for home purchases through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.

What is Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) new Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) provides assistance to state and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. The NSP provides grants to every state and certain local communities to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes and to rehabilitate, resell, or redevelop these homes in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values of neighboring homes. For the State of Delaware NSP, HUD provided $19.6 million to Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA). DSHA, in turn, has allocated funds from the $19.6 million to local jurisdictions through a competitive process based on need and on each applicant’s proposed impact statewide.

If you have been waiting for a bargain, NOW IS THE TIME!! Call Connie Cooper at Cooper Realty Associates 302 841-4185. I am very knowledgeable about how this program works, and I can help you every step of the way.

“JUSST SOOUP” EPISODE OF EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION AIRS NEXT WEEK!

The day that many people in the Lewes area of Sussex County, DE have been waiting for is only 1 week away! On November 18th, ABC will air the Thanksgiving episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition featuring the Dunning family’s Jusst Sooup Ranch.

Dale Dunning founded “Jusst Sooup Ministries”while she was in Bible College, starting off with a crock pot and a hot plate to make soup for her classmates after theology class. Today, along with her husband Ken and son Brooks, wakes up at 2 a.m. every day to provide meals at 17 soup kitchens for those in need across the state of Delaware. The Dunnings have been living in a rental home that is basically a converted storage facility for “Jusst Sooup”. But they store massive amounts of food, and their small home can’t contain it all. Their dream is to create the “Jusst Sooup Ranch,” which would be a house the Dunnings could move into and where they could run a large-scale kitchen to feed needy families across the state. It would also be a place that provides shelter, food, and support for families in need, helping them get back on their feet, enabling them to then invite other families to take their place in micro-homes on the property. Dale envisions “Jusst Sooup Ranch” having a garden, crops and a small farm to provide food.

Tune in on November 18th to learn more about this one of a kind project!!

“Hollywood Glamour” was in the air as party goers danced the night away at the 24th Annual Beebe Ball last Saturday night.

Tommy (who is on the Beebe Medical Foundation Board) and I have enjoyed attending the Beebe Ball for several years. However, this year’s event was extra special!! Beebe supporters decorated the dinner tables with spectacular designs celebrating Hollywood’s famous 50’s and 60’s era movies, actors and actresses. Our table was decorated as a Liberace theme.

The energizing sounds of Big City Band filled the room and kept the crowd dancing! There were silent and live auctions featuring fabulous items donated by local businesses as well as amazing packaged trips. Tommy bid on a beautiful leather vest for me, and he won! The money raised at this year’s event will help with the completion of the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing at Beebe Medical Center.

It was definitely a night I will always remember!! Author ~ Connie Cooper

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SELL YOUR HOME BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR!!

Typically, many buyers are eager to move and get settled in before the school year and holidays begin but that doesn’t mean you should be discouraged. While the spring is considered a peak selling period, I recall looking for a home in the winter months and successfully closing just after the New Year.

Tips for Selling Your Home Before the End of the Year

The fourth quarter of the year can cause some sellers to worry if their home hasn’t sold yet. But according to Trulia.com, there is still time to sell.

HOMEOWNERSHIP RISES IN 3RD QUARTER!!

“After falling to a 13-year low during the second quarter, the homeownership rate posted a highly unexpected rise in the third quarter, according to a Census Bureau report.”

There have been a growing number of reports announcing the death of American homeownership over the last two years. Some have said we are evolving into a rental society and even challenge the long standing belief that homeownership should be a part of the American Dream. They look at the falling rate of homeownership as proof of their point. Others say that the younger generations no longer see the value in owning over renting.

However, this past week, two news items might refute these points. First, DSNews reported the homeownership rate actually increased in the last quarter; the first quarterly increase in two years.

“After falling to a 13-year low during the second quarter, the homeownership rate posted a highly unexpected rise in the third quarter, according to a Census Bureau report.”

Then, Fannie Mae released their 2011 3^rd Quarter National Housing Survey. We will cover this report in more detail on Wednesday. But we do want to mention a few findings the report highlighted. Both Generation Y (birth date mid-1970s to mid 1990s) and Generation X (birth date mid 1960s to mid 1970s) have stronger beliefs in the importance of homeownership than those of the general population.

Here are the numbers for the three major reasons to buy (as per the survey) with the percentage who believe in each reason:
