Image of keys and houseOn October 3, 2015, the rules changed for buyers who need a mortgage to purchase a home. Both buyers and sellers may be impacted by these rule changes because if there is a delay due to the loan documents, the closing and any subsequent closings will be postponed. The desire to have a back to back same day sell/buy closings maybe over owing to due the TRID rule.

The “Truth-in-Lending RESPA (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) Integrated Disclosure” Rule or the TRID rule has taken the three previously required mortgage loan disclosure documents and consolidated them into the following two forms: a Loan Estimate (LE) that must be delivered or placed in the mail no later than the third business day after receiving the borrower’s application, and a…

I thought it would be interesting to analyze the state of the housing market in the Boca area. For the purposes of this analysis, I used single family homes in Boca Raton and Highland Beach for the period of July 1 - September 30, 2015 over $300,000 and broke out the analysis into price bands.
