Fort Mill Real Estate -Mortgage Market Update April 18, 2008

By
Real Estate Agent with Miller Realty Group

Rates went up this week as the stock market had a strong week. Current 30 Year Fixed rates are hovering around 6.00% but can easily range between 6.00% and 6.50% depending on credit score and loan program. ARM pricing is still weak. The 7/1 ARM rates are about the same as 30 Year fixed rates. It should get to about a 1% lower than the 30 Year Fixed before the value is the worth the risk.

The mortgage bond market is near unchanged right now.

100% Programs

GONE. The only way to buy right now without any down payment is with some time of down payment assistance. FHA loans are back in the spotlight!

STATED INCOME

These programs are rare but still exist. You must be self-employed, and the credit must be pretty good. Rates for these programs range from 6.375% to 7.25% for fixed rate loans. NO DOC loans are no longer available in N.C.

INVESTMENT Programs

The Senate just passed a bill giving tax credits to buyers of foreclosed home… but the House is probably going to alter it quite a bit. You will need at least 10% down to purchase investment property, and existing loans can be refinanced for cash-out up to 85%. Rates range between 6.00% to 7.00% depending on credit, loan size and fees.

What’s HOT??

Jumbo ARMS - we can offer some amazing rates under 6.00% right now!!! A Jumbo loan is anything above $417,000.
