Happy New Year!

I always like to start a new year with good news, so here it is:

1)  The foreclosure rate in New Jersey did not go up in November!  There are 2 foreclosures for every 10,000 households. (Source: Jeffrey Otteau)

2)  Mortgage Interest Rates: Conforming loans are hovering around 5%, with jumbo and super jumbo rates posting an average of 2% higher than most conforming rates.
