Home values have plummeted, while the interest rates on adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) are rising. The bubble has obviously burst for the U.S. housing market, and it may be "refinance risky mortgage" time for you.

real estate: New York with poor credit scores!! Think before signing - 09/07/08 01:21 AM
BORROWERS in New York with poor credit scores already know how hard it is to get a mortgage. As of this month, it has become even more difficult. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two government-sponsored companies that back most of the nation's mortgages, have said that as of September they would not buy subprime loans from New York because the new law exposes them to too much risk and cost. "We're simply not in position to monitor and enforce compliance with all these requirements," said Brad German, a Freddie Mac spokesman. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae back few subprime loans

real estate: Finding Discounted Homes For Sale - 09/07/08 01:11 AM
It's not always enough to be up to snuff on negotiating that reduced price. Sometimes you need to know where to look to find a bargain that's already available. Redfin's "Science of Real Estate" center studied the differences between homes that sold for a large discount and those that didn't, and came up with guidance for buyers looking for large discounts. "Homebuyers have begun crawling out of their bomb shelters hungry for big discounts off the asking price," said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. "Often, their expectations are unrealistic, as many sellers have already aggressively priced their homes. But when conditions

real estate: Market Conditions - 09/07/08 01:06 AM
The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 200 points yesterday morning -- after declines in oil prices were reported. That gain was short-lived, as the DOW closed down 26.63 points. Oil prices have been shown to have lingering effects on the housing market. Former head of the Economic Forecasting Center at Georgia State University, Donald Ratajcza, noted in a 2005 investing article, "Ultimately, rising energy prices are going to affect not only how we drive, but also where we build and how we consume energy in our businesses." He couldn't have been more right. As oil prices have risen, commuters

real estate: Where Are Lenders Getting Credit Scores? - 09/05/08 10:30 AM
Where Are Lenders Getting Credit Scores? Consumers often mistakenly believe that mortgage lenders use only credit scores from Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and Fair Isaac's myfico.com to gauge creditworthiness. However, Consumer Reports recently found that lenders also use NextGen FICO scores, FICO Expansion Scores, and Industry Option FICO scores - which take car loans into consideration - as well as custom formulas. Given that these credit scores or scoring models are not available to consumers, experts say that consumers should not rely solely on available credit scores to determine their likelihood of getting a loan. They would be wise to make timely
