Proration is a way for the sellers to pay you back or for you to pay them for bills they may have paid in advance. For example, the gas company usually sends a bill each month for the gas used during the previous month. But assume you buy the home on the 6<sup>th</sup> of the month. You would owe the gas company for only the days from the 6<sup>th</sup> to the end for the month. The seller would owe for the first five days. The bill would be prorated for the number of days in the month, and then each person would be responsible for the days of his or her ownership.</span></span></p>]]></description><link>http://www.coloradospringsehomes.com/Blog/Closing-Costs-for-Buyers</link><guid>http://www.coloradospringsehomes.com/Blog/Closing-Costs-for-Buyers</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Oct 2011 01:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title> Stunning 5 Bedroom Home Located In Northgate!</title><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.coloradospringsehomes.com/property/1385-Diamond-Rim-Drive-Colorado-Springs-Colorado/images/index/349199/0/t" title="Front View Of Home" alt="Front View Of Home" style="float:left; padding:3px;" /><p>

Some clients are concerned that home prices may fall further than they have already.  They are assuming that the best course of action is to wait for the bottom in the market and then buy.  The problem with this approach is that you don't know where the bottom is until you see it in the rear view mirror, meaning until you've missed it!</p>
<p>Home prices are one factor in determining your cost of ownership, but so are interest rates and financing availability.  Even though interest rates have gone up in the last six months, they are still near historic lows.  Since your monthly mortgage payment is a combination of paying down your principal and paying the interest owed, if home prices come down a little further but interest rates   up, it could cost you even more to service a mortgage on an identical home!</p>
<p>While a home is a major investment, it is also the center of your personal life.  It's important to live in a home that reflects your taste and values, yet is within your financial "comfort zone."  To that end, it may be more important to lock in today's relatively low interest rates and low home prices, rather than to hope for a further break in prices in the future.</p>
<p>Please give me a call if I can be of any assistance in determining how much home you can afford in today's market.</p>]]></description><link>http://www.coloradospringsehomes.com/Blog/Should-I-Buy-A-Home-Now</link><guid>http://www.coloradospringsehomes.com/Blog/Should-I-Buy-A-Home-Now</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:05:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
