Michigan Mortgage Rates

Rick Marnon Howell Real Estate Agent (The Michigan Group) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:46:43 -0500

Michigan Mortgage Rates are some of the lowest rates that we have had in years. One bank has a one year ARM that is under 4%. That is an amazing number, but the biggest problem with a loan like that is you will incur 2 sets of closing costs within 1 year. This could offset any amount of savings.

The best Michigan Mortgage Rates right now are on 5 year ARMs. Todays 5 year ARMs rate is 6%. This is for a cash out mortgage. If you are doing just refinancing for a better rate the rates will be better than 6%.

I just looked at rates for the day and they are brutal. Yes!!! You read that correctly. I'll say it again for those of you who don't believe me.

"Michigan Mortgage Rates are BRUTAL today!!!"

To receive your BRUTAL Michigan Mortgage Rate Quote just fill out the form, and we can tell you how bad your rates will be today! I hope you have a nice day.

How is it the market is so bad right now, but the banks are still raising rates.

This doesn't have to do with mortgage rates, but make sure you check your credit card mail, because they are now raising the highest rates to 30%. Yes, you read that right to. I got a notice from Discover stating if you are a day late on any payments they will be raising your rate to 30%. WOW!!! I guess I won't be using that card anymore just in case.

Michigan Mortgage Rates

Rate watching is becoming a real common trend with people anymore today, but one thing I will advise people is to proceed with caution when looking to refi, because it is not going to be the easiest thing to do in Michigan. This is in large part because of the housing market being so bad.

The banks are trying to eliminate loans that are cash out above a certain Loan to Value, which is difficult to even get a true appraisal on anything in Michigan. Banks have officially started viewing foreclosures as part of the housing norm. If you are looking to refi the first thing we will need to do is order an appraisal and allow the banks to beat that up, and then the rest of the loan process will be pretty easy.

Mortgage rates were at 6% today. on a 5 year ARM, and 6.375% on a 30 year Fix.

If you need to refi then fill out this form, and we will get the process started.

It looks as though the ARM is going to be taking over again now that everyone has been getting the urge to get back into a fixed rate.

This is amazing how mortgage rates work. Not that long ago fixed mortgage rates were the way to go, but as of late it has moved to the other end of the stick.

With todays market being so, in simple terms, dead the government needs to keep lowering rates to start helping the housing market get back to normal. This would take banks loosening up the strap a little as well, because banks are the ones that have to approve the loan.

As for todays mortgage rates the 30 year fix is about 6%, and the ARM is at an untouchable 5.5%. If you need to Refinance, or purchase then fill out the form and I will get things rolling.

Woodland Lake Homes for Sale

Rick Marnon Howell Real Estate Agent (The Michigan Group) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 07:55:58 -0600

The spring season hasn't hit just yet, but there are still a few woodland lake homes for sale. There are only 7 woodland lake homes for sale as of right now, but as we near that spring season and warmer weather we will start to see a large increase in woodland lake homes for sale.

The weather and time of season seem to play a major role in those looking for waterfront homes. Lakefront homes are not difficult to come by when it gets "HOT" outside. The weather makes people, buyers, start looking for that waterfront retreat they have been debating on.

Woodland Lake is a 290 acre all sport lake, which is one of the largest lakes in Brighton, not to mention Livingston County. This 290 acre all sport lake has homes of all stature. There are typically a few Luxry Woodland Lake homes for sale when the season hits.

Here is a picture of one of the Luxury Woodland Lake homes for sale. There will be plent more to come in the coming months.

Howell Foreclosures

Rick Marnon Howell Real Estate Agent (The Michigan Group) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 11:18:48 -0600

Due to the economic problems that are across the U.S. we here in Michigan have a huge number of foreclosures. Let's narrow that down a little to strictly the Howell Foreclosures. Currently there are 46 Howell Foreclosures.

The large number of Howell Foreclosures has prompted a number of buyers to start acting on some of these great deals. I will say, "buyers make sure that you have been pre-approved prior to looking for homes, because we as your real estate agent do not want you to fall in love with a home that is more than you can afford."

The pre-approval process is very simple. It can take less than 10 minutes of your time. You will need to have your credit pulled, so you will need your social security number at hand. You will need to have a pretty good idea on how much you made last year, and anymore today you will want to be able to show it in either tax returns or W-2's. Here is a link that will walk you through the process. http://www.oaklandlivingston.com/financing.html.

Here are a couple of pictures of homes that are Howell Foreclosures, and a stats table of the Howell Forecloseures. To get more information on any of these homes please visit http://www.oaklandlivingston.com/searcher.html. All you need is a valid email address.

Cash Out Mortgage Rates

Rick Marnon Howell Real Estate Agent (The Michigan Group) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 08:33:04 -0600

This week rates have not looked as good as they have in past weeks. The mortgage industry in Michigan has taken another hit with banks declaring certain areas in Michigan to be in declining markets, which can reduce the loan amount by 5%.

Here is how a cash out refinance scenario for February 20, 2008.

Mortgage Type: 30yr Fixed rate (there is an ARM, 40yr fix, even 50yr fix)

Mortgage Purpose: Cash out (pulling money out to pay off debt or use to fix homes)

Mortgage Amount: $200,000 (amount financed)

Credit Score: 700 middle score (you get three scores, 1 from experian, 1 from equifax, and 1 from trans union)

Loan to Value: 80% (amount owed to what your home is worth)

Escrows: Full (escrowing taxes and insurance with bank)

Property Type: SFH (single family home, condo, townhome)

Units: 1 (you may own a duplex which would change the number of units)

Property State: MI (where home is located)

Occupancy: Owner Occupied (you live in home full time, you could have a second home or investment property)

Doc Type: Full (you can provide W-2's, or tax returns that prove you make what you say)

Lock Period: 30days (period in which you have to close your mortgage to get the rate you were quoted, also keep in mind you have a 3 day right of recision, so get your stuff taken care of ASAP to avoid losing your rate or being charged for falling outside of the lock period)

Based on this criteria todays rate would be 6.375%. As I said earlier mortgage rates are not as pretty as they have been. If you are on an ARM the best thing you could do is get all your information into a mortgage specialist, so that when the rates take their next major dip you won't be praying that you get all of your stuff in, so they can lock the rate.

Competition rate from major lenders:

Bank of America 6.625% (.00744 up front points) (this works out to be .00744% X $200,000= $1,488 in additional closing costs)

Communnity Financial Credit Union: 6.375% (they are charging .25% up front) (this would cost you an additional $500 in closing costs) (this is a credit union) (they usually have some of the best rates) (not this time)

If you would like a mortgage rate quote or to find out what rates would be for you personally you can call or email me, and we can setup a loan to meet your personal needs. You can also visit http://www.oaklandlivingston.com/financing.html to fill out a pre-qual form.

Houses for sale in Novi Michigan

Rick Marnon Howell Real Estate Agent (The Michigan Group) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:06:57 -0600

Since February 1, 2008 there have been 31 new houses for sale in Novi Michigan. The price range varies from $155,000 to $1,599,999 for a Novi Michigan home. While doing my reasearch on all of the houses for sale in Novi Michigan I found that since the new year there have only been 31 new homes listed, and they were all done on or after Februay 1, 2008. That almost seems sureal, but it is what the Realcomp II is telling me. I'm a little amazed that only 31 new listings have been added to the RealcompII this year. Here are the numbers for the current year.

Novi Real Estate Sales

Rick Marnon Howell Real Estate Agent (The Michigan Group) — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 11:53:48 -0600

The Novi real estate sales have been moving at a decent rate, so far this year. Despite the down market it seems that Novi Real Estate has been selling. Now the prices that they are selling for may not be as high as you would like them to be, but if you keep in mind that Michigan is in short a declining market. There have been 15 Novi real estate sales thus far in 2008. This should start to pickup due to spring and summer being right around the corner.
