Home prices rising!!

Home sale prices in November were 2.1% higher than last November! Along with that, the number of new listings fell in October for the third month in a row. Both of these items mean good news for all of central Ohio! The market is finally showing definite signs of a rebound!

Suggestions for paying your mortgage off quicker....

1. Make bi-weekly payments instead of monthly (resulting in an extra payment or two at the end of each year).
2. Make 13 payments each year instead of 12.

Either of these will help you pay your mortgage off faster!
