I have received so many calls from past clients asking me what I think about the current Mortgage market conditions.
Today more than ever, I feel that my clients need to get their Real Estate and Mortgage news from me rather than CNN and the New York Times.
Lenders now have the audacity to only lend money to people who have a job and a credit history of paying their bills. How crazy is that? Well they should have made these changes several years ago. They did it to themselves. "Everything is going to be O.K."
The San Antonio market is doing great. Money Magazine just listed San Antonio as the # 6 best real estate market in the country. Homes on average are predicted to appreciate 7 percent in San Antonio for 2007. Yes mortgage guidelines are stricter but rates are still great and now mortgage brokers are originating their loans to banks such as Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, and other financially stable Mortgage lenders. You can still get an FHA loan with 3% down up to $200,160 and if you qualify you can get a VA loan up to $417,000. Some mortgage Companies are still doing 100% financing but the borrower must be solid as a rock.
San Antonio still has strong Employment growth. Rackspace announced that they are going add about 3000 jobs to San Antonio. They want to do to San Antonio what Dell Computers did to Austin and this company might be able to pull it off. Microsoft broke ground on their new facility. The military keeps on adding personnel to San Antonio. I think this is a great time to buy. San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the United States and has the most affordable Housing market.
So if you're in the market to purchase a home I can only imagine how you, looking for a home in San Antonio, must be feeling right now -- as if home buying isn't an exciting, yet intimidating process already!
