DID YOU KNOW…

In spite of all the expertise and dedication that go into a title search and examination, hidden hazards can emerge after closing, resulting in unpleasant and costly surprises. Some examples of hazards include:

• A forged signature on the deed, which would mean no transfer of ownership to you
• An unknown heir of a previous owner who is claiming ownership of the property
• Instruments executed under an expired or a fabricated power of attorney
• Mistakes in the public records

Title insurance offers financial protection against these and other covered title hazards. The title insurer will pay for defending against the attack on title as insured, and will either perfect the title or pay valid claims – all for a one-time charge at closing.

Your home is your most important investment. Before you go to closing, ask Universal Title about your title insurance protection, and be sure to protect your home with an owner’s title insurance policy.

 I wanted to start off the new year with some December 2011 stats. I think it is important for home buyers and home owners to know and understand where our current real estate market is and probably heading. As we already know, the Northern VA area is a well-known area where many wish to migrate to for employment or to raise a family.  Let me help those who are trying to sell a home or those who are interested in buying within the area.

Considering the table above, December 2011 was a positive way to end the year when it comes to real estate.  Homes on the market were sold at an average increase of 3.64% meaning homes on the market were sold at its true value and more. The number of days a listing was on the market decreased at 4.62%; homes were on the market for a lesser period of time compared to that of the previous month.  As a home owner trying to sell, December was a good month!

According to CNNMoney,  Washington, D.C. was named the most attractive area to move into for 2011.

United Van Lines annual migration studycalcualted that nearly twice as many Americans moved to Washington, D.C. “making it the most migrated destination in the nation for the fourth year in a row.”

There are many reasons on why one would move in the first place but  the most common reason today is for employment. The DC, MD, VA area have the advantage of being close to the nations capital where our government body resides.

“The federal government hired about 150,000 workers, not including postal employees, since 2008, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many of the new jobs were in D.C. and the surrounding areas in Northern Virginia and Maryland. And government salaries have been increasing, sometimes dramatically, drawing in many affluent professionals — the kind likely to hire a large, full-service mover like United — to the area.”

A recent article post by Washington Business Journal reports that the Washington D.C. housing market remains strong and healthy even through recent economical troubles.  According to Clear Capital, California based real estate data firm, the median home prices in the DC area for November were up 4.5% compared to three months earlier. It was granted “the best quarter-over-quarter performace in the nation.” On a nationwide standpoint, the median prices were down an average of 2.2%  compared to a year ago. 

Alex Villacorta, Clear Capital’s director of research stated that “with only a one percent drop in national home prices since January and virtually no change in prices over the last six months, strong evidence suggests the big swings that many market participants are accustomed to could become a thing of the past.”  In other words, it appears that our housing market is starting to settle after years of fluxuation. It is safe to say buying or selling a home right now wouldn’t be a bad idea!
