Refinance? Sell? Do nothing?

Lizete Santos answered:
Hi John,

It may not be worth it to refinance at this time. Current 5 year ARM is around 6%, then you'll have the associated costs to refinance. If you're rate is capped at 6.5% this might be more economical. But if you want to get an accurate assessment you could give my lender a call.

Homes ITB have definitely been in high demand and now is a great time to take advantage of the current market conditions.

Good luck!

Hi,

You should definitely consider Morrisville, Apex and Holly Springs. They're all relatively close to Raleigh and will fulfill your price range.

I recommend you visit the area and see what appeals to you. Each of the aforementioned cities has there own feel.
Good luck!

Looking to Move in June 2009 - What Do I Do Now & What Areas?

Lizete Santos answered:
Arbor Pointe may appeal to you. It's about 5min from Duke and close to shopping and restaurants. - Tue Jul 22 2008, 12:10
Hi Erika,

First you should get pre-qualified by a lender and know exactly what you can afford. The financing aspect often is the most important and can dictate how long the transaction will take. Finding a home that you like will be based on your criteria and whether there are homes in the area that will fit it. That can take 1 month, 4 months or much more. It essentially depends on you.
I think you should start looking on line now and see what is currently available and if any of the properties appeal to you. You have a long time horizon but it's never too early to start the search.
You didn't mention schools, is that something that will be important? If so below is a link to the area schools:

Good luck!

Hi Anna,

I would consider Cary. There are some really nice townhomes & condos in that price range. You may like the following communities, Cary Park & Carpenter Village (Legacy).
I recommend you drive around and see how you feel about the area for yourself.

Good luck! - Fri Jun 13 2008, 09:44
