Look, it’s my job to bang the gong — mortgage rates are low, folks.  I’ve been saying it every day for a week, both here and on Facebook.

A Balanced, On-Air Review Of Mortgage Rates
When mortgages make the news, it tends to be stories of human interest or exorbitant interest rates.
It’s rare to hear a newscaster come right out and say “now is the time to refinance your home”.  It’s even more rare when they get the …

Philadelphia’s City Hall area is time honored and traditional. Located in the northern end of Center City, there are some spectacular high rises and town homes in the immediate area.

The Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia is popular among artists and musicians. Close to Center City, Northern Liberties enjoys the benefits of revitalization and tax abatements.

In Philadelphia, tax abatements are a popular incentive. The abatements offer lower taxes on new or renovated buildings. While there are proposals to change the tax abatement structure, it looks like properties that now have the abatement would not be affected.

Rittenhouse Square has long been a Philadelphia neighborhood of distinction. Home to the world class Curtis School of Music, Rittenhouse Square has seen a surge of development and renovation in the past few years.

Philadelphia is known for being the cradle of American government history – and no other place are you able to live in the midst of all the notable places that are so important to American history than in the Old City district.

Postgreen is the source behind the 100K House, a case study in …

Philadelphia foreclosures are no longer just in risky neighborhoods. The foreclosure crisis has hit all sorts of homes in all types of areas. Pre-foreclosure, many homeowners and developers are willing to negotiate with a buyer/investor. If they can walk away with a little cash and satisfied liens, and you have a property for less than the market value, it can be a win – win proposition.

Philadelphia lofts are a popular lifestyle choice right now. Whether built brand new, or converted from formerly commercial and industrial space, the convenient locations, ample space, soaring ceilings and light pouring in through large windows make an attractive choice, and are a magnet for urban designers.

In the vibrant Avenue of the Arts neighborhood, The 1352 Condominium Lofts and Residences are in the heart of all the trendy cultural offerings in the city of Philadelphia.

There’s been a lot of attention to nationwide foreclosures in the news lately. The number of foreclosures is up this month, and looks pretty drastic. This is partly because of the moratorium on foreclosures in December and through February, awaiting word from the White House on how the federal government would intervene. Now that the moratorium is over, foreclosed properties that were already set for auction have been again scheduled for sale, and now there is a backlog of them.
