Mortgage Interest Rates

A note from Hal Von Nessen, MIRM. His blog can be found at reshmarketing.com.

"The Federal Housing Finance Agency released figures today showing a slight increase in mortgage interest rates in February. I recall the good old days when an upward tick in the rates would stimulate buyers to come out to avoid the anticipated price adjustments resulting from another increase. It would appear that, just as spring heralds its arrival with new growth, the housing market is also seeing signs of rebirth. It may be minimal, it may be slow, but it sure is welcomed!"

Here's a link to the full report.

Tankless Water Heaters

As part of the green building products and practices built into new homes, Paradime Construction includes a Tankless Water Heater.

If you're not familiar with this type of water heater, here's a little background information on the advantages to going tankless.

Tankless water heaters are also known as "on demand" water heaters.  Unlike traditional water heaters, a tankless heater does not store warm, unused water, but heats water only as it is needed.

With a tankless water heater it is not necessary to run water so that it will "heat up". You can save water by having immediately warm water on demand.

The life span of a tankless water heater may be longer than the standard water heater because there is no sitting water to corrode the tank.  The tanks are more compact than standard units and when used correctly can still supply enough hot water for your household.

Talk with Stan O'Brien at Paradime Construction about your hot water needs and to ensure that a tankless water heater is incorporated into your home design.
