Economic Stimulus Package Passes US Senate

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Coldwell Banker Flanagan Realty

Pasted below is a copy of an e-mail I received from our mortgage advisor today:

The Economic Stimulus Package has passed the U.S. Senate and is heading to the President’s desk next week for his signature. 

You may or may not know, but a big piece of the package is allowing the conforming loan limit(currently $417,000) and the FHA loan limit(roughly $362,000) to be increased as high as $729,750 

The specific limit will be based on high-cost areas, which we are normally a part of.  I will keep you informed as to the final decision and how our business will be impacted.  This will allow for loans over the current $417,000 limit to be considered conforming which will save hundreds of dollars monthly and thousands of dollars year-over-year!!! 

Example— 

Someone doing a $600,000 loan today would have a Principal and Interest payment of $3792.  That same loan could than have a Principal and Interest payment of $3597…that’s a$195/month savings!!!  Or $2340/year savings!!! 

Do you think we could sell more real estate with these savings??? 

p.s.  Once we know where our limit will be, it might be a good idea to call all your past customers who obtained Jumbo loan financing and let them know that if they are not moving, you can provide them a way to save hundreds of dollars and thousands of dollars, by calling your in-house mortgage partner!!!

I'm not sure it's going to improve the public view on the economy for the most part, but we'll have to see.

I hopt this gets the cash into the economy very quickly. It could stablize the housing market if we can get the money out into the economy quickly.
