Mortgage Rates Fall to Record Lows (again)

/in /by

MORTGAGE RATES FALL TO RECORD LOWS (AGAIN)

The average 30 year fixed mortgage rate dropped to 3.94% which matches the all-time low in October.  The 15 year fixed rate mortgage also saw a new record low of 3.21% which is lower than the previous record held on October 6th of 2011.Adjustable rate mortgages (ARM’s) also fell to new lows—hitting 2.86%.

Mortgage rates have remained near record lows for a couple of months and finally made comparing iva companies a critical skillset when the rates hit the magic number—surpassing the previous records lows.

Interest rates should remain low through mid-2012 according to Freddie Mac’s chief economist, Frank Nothaft.

Home buyers will see substantial savings if deciding to take advantage of the current real estate market.  5 years ago, a home purchaser would have felt “blessed” to obtain a 5% interest rate on a 15 year loan.   A borrower would have paid $1,582 per month on a $200,000 mortgage at 5%.  At a 3.2% interest rate, the monthly payment would not come in at or around $1,400 per month—a substantial savings of $182 monthly.

Treasury bond yields (which have also stayed low) tend to coincide with mortgage rates.  10-year Treasury notes have fallen below 2% for the past 3 months as investors have stayed away from Europe and its debt issues.

Low home pricing combined with historic interest rates make buying a home extremely affordable right now.   Call me today for additional information:  208-869-3469!

Default filings down by a third in Ada & Canyon Counties

Default filings down by a third in Ada & Canyon Counties

The local real estate market seems to be headed in the right direction in regard to stability.  The next 6 months will provide additional information on the direction that our market is headed yet the following information provides a “snap shot” of year to date activity.

Homeowner default rates on homes loans within Ada and Canyon counties will fall well short of 2010 levels.  Overall filings (the starting of the foreclosure process) are down 34 percent.

There were 228 default filings in November for Ada County, down from over 260 within the month of October. The monthly average of default filings for Ada County in 2011 is 265.  Total default filings for 2011 in Ada County were 2,918—down 34% from the previous year.

In Canyon County, however, default filings were up.  Last month there were 184—approximately 23 more default filings from the previous month.  The monthly default average for Canyon County is 176.  Through November, the total default filings for Canyon County were 1,944.

The most recent “high” for default filings in Ada and Canyon counties was in March of 2010.  Default filings, however, slowed as lien holders became concerned about the processing of foreclosure documents.  This prompted some lenders/services to revise their foreclosure processes.  As you most likely know, banks are now releasing their inventory (foreclosed homes) in a manner that does not depress the market further.

Most statisticians feel that an influx of bank owned property will hit the real estate market during the spring of 2012.  Default filings typically increase after the Winter Holiday Seasons, as well.

Bank owned listings dropped nearly 3 percent from October to November in Canyon and Ada Counties while short sales on the market are down 3 percent.

Principle Reductions for Underwater Borrowers on the Horizon?

/in /by

A letter sent to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) acting director Edward DeMarco by 21 member of the United States Congress urged this director to implement principle reductions on loans currently backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—2 of the largest backers of mortgage securities.

The letter explains that the members of congress do not urge that the FHFA request principal reductions out of kindness to homeowners yet support principal reductions in order to save taxpayers money for any future losses (foreclosed homes).

Principle reductions are when the financing institution reduces the amount owed against the debt in order for the homeowner to not be “underwater”.   The purpose of principle reductions is to help those that are substantially underwater or owe much more than what the asset is worth.

17% of Fannie borrowers are underwater and 18% of Freddie borrowers are underwater.  This provides a great risk of eventual default by this particular group.

Loan modifications have not solved the problem since 44% of loans modified within the past 24 months are three months past due, according to a Freddie Mac cited letter:  “The performance of the mortgage modifications leaves much to be desired for homeowners, for the housing market and for taxpayers”.

The members of Congress which urged the principle reduction stated that the short term effects of principal reductions on the books may look grim yet the long term effects greatly outweigh the money lost if homes and property continue to default on a regular basis.
