Client impressed with Monica Foster Team personal approach

A recent Seabrook seller, Jay Hand, not only gave the Monica Foster Team 5 stars but had this to say:


“Monica made the entire process smooth and straightforward, constantly keeping me in the loop with updates and letting me know what was required at every step along the way. I was most impressed with her personal attention – even though I’m sure she has a team of employees helping behind the scenes, she was always the one who called me or e-mailed me directly. That alone made me feel like an important customer, and proved that she takes great pride in her work and stands behind her commitment to service. I highly recommend Monica for anyone in need of real estate services!”

You Don"t Need Perfect Credit to Buy a Home!

While slightly higher than last year, average FICO credit scores for FHA and conventional loans are still lower since 2012, sitting at 757 for conventional and 688 for FHA. Down payments are still low as well. Thanks to delays in enacting portions of the Frank-Dodd Act you can still get a mortgage with 3% down, especially with FHA (83% are 3% or less). So if you are considering purchasing a home in the league city, friendswood, seabrook, kemah, pearland, or the greater clear lake area, the ability for you to obtain a mortgage has never been better even if you don’t have perfect credit or a large downpayment!

217,726 Reasons to Buy a Home Now!

Inventory is at an all time low in the Greater Clear Lake area but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and buy now. According to the inaugural Opportunity Cost Report released recently by Realtor.com interest rates are expected to rise along with home prices (low inventory next year will only make prices higher). Thus, the financial penalty of delaying or forgoing purchasing a home can become significant. In fact, the report estimates that, based on today’s dollars, the average purchaser would accumulate $217,726 in increased wealth over a 30-year period.


Even waiting a year can mean over an $18,000 dollar difference in cost on average, three years over $54,000! So if you are ready, willing and able to buy a home, waiting doesn’t make “cents“. Contact the Monica Foster Team and we can help you find just the right home today!
