November new home sales beat expectations from CNBC.

This morning Rick Santelli reported a surprise ~17% uptick in new home sales for last November. It is my opinion that the December sales report may be even better. As real mortgage interest rates decline, and as the Federal Reserve signals it will remain neutral with future rate increases, home sales are responding positively.

Benzinga is reporting that an industry analyst is turning more bullish for builder stocks in 2019, suggesting a modest correction to the upside for home builders. 

If you put off buying, you might want to reconsider. Banks are competing for your mortgage business and that has driven rates down from their 5% peak last year. New home prices, although still

Pacesetter Homes Offers an Extraordinary Master Suite

During the past month, I worked with a wonderful relocation couple who was looking for a very specific floorplan. They wanted both their boys downstairs, hence were really wanting 3 bedrooms down. They provided me with a list of 9 finalist homes and none of them had the exact floorplan they really wanted.

BINGO, they executed their contract on the 10th and closed on the 23rd! That's the power of a great lender, the Core Team of Supreme Lending in McKinney, TX. Thanks Lynn and David!

They got lucky and I can help you connect to the same floorplan, however
