Whether you’re looking at houses in the Berkshires or inside 128, Total Mortgage is offering some of the most competitive Massachusetts mortgage rates in the industry. The Massachusetts housing market managed to come through the recession better than other markets, although the health of the housing market largely depends upon which part of the state you live in. According to the most recent S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, home prices in the Boston area declined 0.6 percent over the past year, and 0.3 percent from December 2010 to January 2011. The western part of the state did not fare as well.
Despite this, the housing market in Massachusetts is relatively healthy compared to much of the nation, and this is largely due to the fact that there was not as much overbuilding as there was in other markets where land was more readily available. Bidding for affordable homes in many parts of Massachusetts (especially inside 128) is fierce. If you are looking to purchase a home during the Spring season, you may want to consider get pre-approved for a home loan. This will give you a leg up on other bidders, and can enable you to move quickly when you find a home that you like. With Total Mortgage, the pre-approval process is free, quick, and easy.
If you’re looking to purchase a home in Massachusetts, refinance your current mortgage, or start the free pre-approval process, call one of our licensed loan officers today at 877-868-2503.
