30-Year Mortgage Rates Reach Highest Level Since May

30-Year Mortgage Rates Reach Highest Level Since May

30-Year Mortgage Rates Reach Highest Level Since May

30-Year Mortgage Rates Reach Highest Level Since May

For the fourth consecutive week, mortgage rates continued to climb as home buyers face higher borrowing costs.

“Mortgage rates are drifting upwards again and represent continued affordability challenges for prospective buyers—especially first-time buyers,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Borrowing costs are moving right now for three main reasons: the very strong economy, higher U.S. government debt issuances, and global trade tensions.”

Khater says despite the uptick in rates, mortgage applications for home purchases have managed to increase on an annual basis for five consecutive weeks. “However, given the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Florence in the Carolinas, the next few months of housing activity will likely be somewhat volatile,” he adds.

Freddie Mac reports the following national averages with mortgage rates for the week ending Sept. 20:

  • 30-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 4.65 percent, with an average 0.5 point, rising from last week’s 4.6 percent average. Last year at this time, 30-year rates averaged 3.83 percent.
  • 15-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 4.11 percent, with an average 0.5 point, increasing from last week’s 4.06 percent average. A year ago, 15-year rates averaged 3.13 percent.
  • 5-year hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 3.92 percent, with an average 0.4 point, dropping from last week’s 3.93 percent average. A year ago, 5-year ARMs averaged 3.17 percent.

Selling Luxury See Uptick in Sales

Selling Luxury See Uptick in Sales

Luxury housing markets continue to climb, as 20 major counties post double-digit gains in home prices, according to realtor.com®’s 2018 Luxury Home Index, released today. The number of sales at or above $1 million climbed 6 percent over the last year. Realtor.com® defines the luxury price tier as the top 5 percent of residential sales.

Two-thirds of luxury housing markets are seeing inventory move faster than a year ago, according to the report.

“The conditions in the luxury segment are quite different from the market overall—it’s really a tale of two markets,” says Danielle Hale, realtor.com®’s chief economist. “Although U.S. median listing prices show signs of slowing growth, luxury prices are moving in the opposite direction in many places. For the second consecutive month, we’ve seen more markets with double-digit, entry-level luxury price growth than in the past four years.”

Sarasota, Fla., remains the nation’s fastest-growing luxury market. Sales prices there have climbed 21 percent since a year ago. Half of all luxury homes in Sarasota sold within 165 days, which is 22 percent faster than a year ago.

Rounding out the top five for fastest-growing luxury markets was Queens, N.Y.; Santa Clara, Calif.; Boulder, Colo.; and Collier, Fla. Each of these cities saw an annual price growth between 13 and 15 percent, according to the report.

Down Payments Near Record Highs

Down Payments Near Record Highs

Down Payments Near Record Highs

Down Payments Near Record Highs

Home buyers are putting more money down on a home purchase than ever before. The size of down payments during the second quarter climbed to a median of $19,900, a record high, according to ATTOM Data Solutions’ research, which dates back to the first quarter of 2000. What’s more, this marks a 19 percent jump from $16,750 in this year’s first quarter.

The median down payment was 7.6 percent of the median sales price of homes purchased with finances during the second quarter, according to the report. That percentage is at a nearly 15-year high.

With higher home prices, California buyers tend to bring the highest down payments. Among 103 metro areas, the places with the largest median down payments in the second quarter were: San Jose, Calif. ($306,000); San Francisco, Calif. ($220,000); Los Angeles, Calif. ($130,000); Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, Calif. ($115,400); and Boulder, Colo. ($107,750).

“Buyers are upping the ante when it comes to down payments, evidenced by the record-high median down payment for homes purchased in the quarter, and an increasing number of buyers are getting help from co-buyers,” says Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM Data Solutions.

The number of loans with co-buyers—which is multiple, nonmarried buyers—that were listed on the sales deed is climbing. A down payment on a co-buyer loan averaged 16.3 percent of the purchase price, which is more than double the average percentage for other buyers. The average down payment with a co-buyer is 51 percent higher than loans without co-buyers ($63,117 versus $41,749).

Demystifying Interest only loans

Demystifying Interest only loans

What is an interest only loan?

An interest only mortgae is a loan where you are only required to pay the interest that accrues on the loan each month and are not required to pay any principal unitl after the initial interest only period has expired.  The typical interest only period is 5 or 10 years.  After the intial interst only period, the payment adjusts to allow for all principal plus interest to be paid back over the remaining term.  Typically 20 to 25 years.  The most common interest only loans are available on adjustable rate mortgages.  Interest only loans may be an excellent tool if they are used in the right circumstances.

 

When can an interest only loan be a good idea?

You may benefit from an interest only loan if a high percentage of your income comes from bonuses, commissions or other lump sum distributions.  Interest only loans keep your required monthly payment to a minimum to allow you to pay the principal on your own timeline rather than a pre-determined timeline set forth by the lender.  Mayny people with this type of income stream tend to pay down a portion of the loan balace once they receive a lump sum or income and when they do so, the required monthly payment on the loan automatically recalculates downward.

 

When can in interest only loan be a bad idea?

You should never take an interest only loan if you cannot afford to property otherwise.  If that’s the case, then you are likely over-extending yourself and should be in a lower priced property or you should consider renting.

Demystifying Interest only loans

Demystifying Interest only loans

What criteria do you need to meet to get approved for an interest only loan?

You typically need at least 10% to 30% equity in your property in order to get approved for an interest only loan.  There may be higher credit score requirement on interest only loans.

Be sure to consult with me to confirm in an interest only loan is right for you.

Mortgage Fraud Becoming More Prevalent

Mortgage Fraud Becoming More Prevalent

Mortgage Fraud Becoming More Prevalent

Mortgage Fraud Becoming More Prevalent

Mortgage fraud climbed 12.4 percent year over year in the second quarter of 2018, and about one out of every 109 mortgage applications has been found to contain false or misleading information, according to real estate data firm CoreLogic. “Because home prices are rising and demand is strong, most mortgage fraud in this type of market is motivated by bona fide borrowers trying to qualify for a mortgage,” says Bridget Berg, CoreLogic’s principal of fraud solutions strategy. “Undisclosed real estate liabilities, credit repair, questionable down payment sources, and income falsification are the most likely misrepresentations.”

Fraud is most common in conforming mortgages with loan-to-value ratios of 80 percent or less, according to CoreLogic. The metro areas with the highest increases of fraud risk year over year are Oklahoma City; El Paso, Texas; Springfield, Mass.; Albuquerque, N.M.; and Spokane, Wash. Overall, the states with the highest incidences of mortgage fraud are New York, New Jersey, and Florida, according to the report.

CoreLogic identifies the following as the most common types of mortgage fraud:

  • Income fraud: An applicant misrepresents the existence, continuance, source, or amount of their income.
  • Occupancy fraud: An applicant deliberately misstates the intended use of a property as a primary or secondary residence or an investment.
  • Transaction fraud: The applicant misrepresents the nature of the transaction, such as an undisclosed agreement between parties, falsified down payments, non-arm’s-length sale, or use of a straw buyer.
  • Property fraud: An applicant intentionally misrepresents information about the property or its value.
  • Undisclosed real estate debt: An applicant fails to disclose additional real estate debt or previous foreclosures.
  • Identity fraud: An applicant alters their identity or credit history, or uses a false identity.

The largest uptick—22 percent—was in income fraud over the past 12 months, according to CoreLogic. Massachusetts, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Kansas have seen the most significant increases in income fraud over the past year, according to the report.

Mortgage Rates Increase

Mortgage Rates Increase

Mortgage Rates Increase

Mortgage Rates Increase

A strong job market and consumer credit are driving up mortgage rates for the third consecutive week and now to their highest level in six weeks. Mortgage rates are 0.82 percent higher than a year ago—the largest year-over-year increase since May 2014, Freddie Mac reports.

Despite the higher rates, Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, expects buyer demand to remain high. “This spectacular stretch of solid job gains and low unemployment should help keep home buyer interest elevated,” Khater says. “However, mortgage rates will likely also move up, as the Federal Reserve considers short-term rate hikes this month and at future meetings.”

Freddie Mac reports the following national averages with mortgages rates for the week ending Sept. 13:

  • 30-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 4.60 percent, with an average 0.5 point, up from last week’s 4.54 percent average. Last year at this time, 30-year rates averaged 3.78 percent.
  • 15-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 4.06 percent, with an average 0.5 point, climbing from last week’s 3.99 percent average. A year ago, 15-year rates averaged 3.08 percent.
  • 5-year hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages: averaged 3.93 percent, with an average 0.3 point, unchanged from last week. A year ago, 5-year ARMs averaged 3.13 percent.
