The above report from RE/MAX International reveals some interesting national housing trends:

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Tips for financing your next home:&nbsp; In case you haven't heard, mortgage interest rates are at or near historic lows!&nbsp; Interest rates and APR's can vary depending on the lender and loan program, borrower's credit history, etc.&nbsp; You can check Colorado mortgage rates, but in general 30-year fixed rates are in the low 4's and 15-year fixed rates are in the low 3's?&nbsp; You have to go way back into ancient history to find rates even close to what we're seeing today.

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
QRM: What is a Qualified Residential Mortgage and what does it mean for the Boulder real estate market?&nbsp; In a nutshell, the QRM is a proposed new federal mortgage-loan regulation under the Dodd-Frank Act that would require a 20% downpayment.&nbsp; Specifically, under the proposed regulation a lender must hold 5% of the risk (loan amount), unless the loan is a QRM.&nbsp; So, a lender originating a non-QRM loan would, in effect, have some &quot;skin in the game&quot; with respect to the new ... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Boulder, CO's population has, according to the U.S. Census, exceeded 100,000.&nbsp; Is Boulder real estate affected?&nbsp; There is good and bad news that comes with this milestone; the bad news is that Boulder is more crowded, has more traffic, and has to deal with all the infrastructure pains that growth inevitably brings.&nbsp; The good news is that by virtue of breaking this &quot;magical&quot; population barrier, Boulder may now be eligible for more state and federal funding that &quot;sma... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Boulder Landlords and Tenants: At the last Boulder City Council meeting on May 18th, the city's proposed new &quot;SmartRegs&quot; concerning rental property were discussed.&nbsp; I was a little surprised to hear that many Boulder landlords spoke in favor of the new regulations.&nbsp; Some tenants spoke out about the high cost energy/utilities in Boulder, which really speaks to the heart of this issue.&nbsp; The devil's in the details, though, and implementation might be easier said than done.
