Jackson Hole Interest Rates

/in , ,

September2013-19We are starting to get a lot of questions about interest rates.  Are they going higher, are they going back down, should we “lock our rate?  All of these are good questions and we don’t exactly have the answers but we do have some thoughts on the issue.

First of all, we don’t believe they are going back to 3%.  The interest rate hovered in the 3% range for a very long time.  The government is starting to indicate that they are going to start phasing out the “quantitative easing” which should increase interest rates.

Are they going higher?  Not in the short term….but more than likely yes in the longer term.  When we look at some recent projections from some notable entities like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the National Association of Realtors we see most of the projecting that rates with be right around 5% in the second quarter of 2014.

Should you lock your loan?  We don’t have your answer on this one.  We suggest you speak with your local lender and have them assist you in making that decision.  Christy and Garth Gillespie recommend a few lenders and they include:  Patti Patterson – 307-732-7868. Jeff Collins – 307-732-7925 or Mark Hassler – 307-732-7933 all at First Interstate Bank or Eric Burba: 307-200-9756 at Guaranteed Rate.

 

Jackson Hole Home Prices Ready to Rebound?

/in , , , ,

This is a great cover from one of the more trusted investment institutions – Barron’s.  The article explains how there is a belief that housing prices will remain rather flat for the year but by the beginning of 2013 we should start to see some appreciation in the housing market. 

What’s important here is that there is a general feeling that appreciation is going to start soon.  If you are on the fence about getting back into the housing market there are a lot of signs and people saying now is a good time to jump in.  Last week home mortgages hit another low but we should not expect rates to stay low like this ever.  If the economy and job market continues to improve we can hedge a bet that loan rates will slowly rise again.

Buying in Jackson Hole– Make Sure You Ask About Assumable Mortgages

/in , , , ,

 

Wow – Christy and I just learned some powerful information this week that we would like to share.   It was brought to our attention that buyers that are in the lower end of the market should be talking with their mortgage bankers about FHA loans and or assumable mortgages.  This is forward thinking but right now we are experiencing record low interest rates.  Buyers of properties right now are able to secure financing for under 3% in some situations.

Why are we bringing this up?  When a FHA homebuyer is buying a home today they will have the opportunity to lock in these extremely low interest rates.  Then when the buyer becomes a seller some day they will have an assumable mortgage.  This means a qualified purchaser can “take over” the loan. 

As an example, a $300,000 loan at 4% today carries with it a $1,432.25 principal and interest payment on a 30 year fixed mortgage. If offered for sale in five years, the purchaser could assume the $271,858.56 balance with the same $1,432.25 payment and remaining term of 25 years. The total payments over the 25 years would be $429,675.

Compare that to a new $272,000 loan at 6.5% for 25 years, which would carry a monthly payment of $1,836.56 (over $400 more a month than the assumption and more than $120,000 more over the 25 year term).

At 6.5% for 25 years, to wind up with the same payment as the assumed mortgage, our borrowers would only be getting $212,000…$60,000 LESS!

The point here is that, when rates go up, homes with assumable mortgages will have more value and will sell at higher prices because they are more affordable.

We hope you find this information helpful.  For additional buying tip in the Jackson Hole Real Estate market please contact the Jackson Hole Experts – Christy and Garth Gillespie at 307-413-5243 or email at garth.gillespie@jhsir.com.  You can also visit Jackson Hole Sotheby’s website at www.jhsir.com.

Conforming ARM rates are lower this morning after the NAR announced that pending home sales continued their upward swing in May. Home sales rose (0.1%) for the fourth straight month… the first time this has happened since October 2004! The manufacturing sector’s activity rose to 44.8 in June as well. This was the six straight month this index has increased and the index reading indicates that manufacturing contraction has slowed, but not reversed itself. Manufacturing is a key indictor in gauging the strength of the economy.

Interest rates are unchanged again this morning after the National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales dropped 5.3% last month. January sales were the lowest since July 1997 as potential buyers were waiting for clarity and certainty of the housing stimulus package. The national median home price was $170,300 in January and the number of homes on the market decreased to 3.6 million. The drop in total inventory is encouraging because at the current sales rate, it would take an estimated 9.6 months to sell the existing homes inventory.
