Current Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates are still historically low. Current mortgage rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage are still hovering around 3.90%. From the last Fed meeting it sounds like the Fed Funds rate will be left unchanged for the next couple of months. Most economist are now predicting that the Fed will raise interest rates in or around September. Keep in mind that these rates may not have a direct effect on mortgage rates, it does however start to put some pressure on mortgage rates and my guess is you will start to see them rise a bit heading toward the end of the year.
Fannie Mae now offers a program that allows for as little as a 3% down payment.
Market Analysis and Outlook
The FishHawk Real Estate market seems to be fairly stable. The current months supply or backlog of homes in FishHawk Ranch did increase again to 5.3 months but the Pending homes for sale also jumped as well.
The number of homes sold in FishHawk Ranch over the last 6 months has still been trending down. In October this number was 205 and in March it was 139. There is no question that less homes are selling and closing every month. This would start to be concerning except that the Pending sales had a big jump this month.
Price Per Square Foot of Sold homes stabilized in March. It looks like the February drop to $112 Per Square Foot may just have been from a holiday hangover. In January this number was around $122 and in March it rebounded back to just under $120 Per Square Foot.
With interest rates at historical lows and as balanced of a market that I have seen in about 9 years this looks to be a stable market for the foreseeable future.
