It is reported Mortgage Interest Rate are near all time lows, well as that news comes out Dec. 3 & 4th coincidentally these past few days the interest rates have actually have been going up. This morning the unemployment report that came out this morning was quite a surprising which in turn caused mortgage interest rates to deteriorate. With a continued flow of positive news in the market like this, could mean the end low mortgage rates. With the government purchasing Mortgage Backed Securities program ending come March /April the chances are good that, that is going to be the beginning of the end of these extremely low rates, but with this type of positive flow of information that end could start sooner than that. This might be the time for those who have been sitting on the fence to take this as a bottom of the lowest rates and make your move. Barring any other shoes to fall scenarios that could drag the economy back down; such as the woes in Commercial Real Estate or maybe unemployment isn’t really as it seems to be and further job loss and the negative impact on housing too could drag the economy backyards again, this would be the signal of the end of the really low rates. So if you have been sitting on the fence you might want to ask yourself if you want to take the chance that there is going to be another leg down; also something else to keep in mind that as time passes since the mortgage meltdown the trend for more conservative lending standards is continuing to tighten making it more and more difficult to refinance or purchase. There is a continued movement to reduce Loan To Values requiring either more money down or more equity in your property in order to qualify for a mortgage. Other changes that are continuing to make it more difficult to qualify is the reduction of qualifying ratios or debt to income ratios.If you would like an interest quote and are considering a refinance CLICK HERE to visit my website and fill out a secure application.

In an already difficult lending environment as of December 12th Fannie Mae is updating their underwriting standards to make obtaining a loan just that much more difficult. One of the main changes is they are lowering the bottom ratio for qualifying for a loan from 50% to 45%. The bottom ratio is the amount that includes your monthly obligations and your  house payment. If your considering a refinance (which now is a really good time) you need to get your application in and underwritten by December 11th to be able to use the current guidelines. For some this could be the difference in being able to qualify. If your interested in refinancing here is a link to my secure online application.

It’s the day after Thanksgiving and today was a shortened session  in the market rates pretty much remained unchanged.  Credit standards starting to become more strict making it more difficult to purchase or refinance.

Fannie Mae plans to raise minimum credit score requirements next month and limit the amount of overall debt that borrowers can carry relative to their incomes, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.

Starting December 12, the automated system that the government-controlled mortgage finance company uses to approve loans will reject borrowers who have at least a 20 percent down payment but whose credit scores fall below 620 out of 850, the newspaper reported. Previously, the cut-off was 580.  COMMERCE CITY REFINANCE

Even in this market there are a couple loan programs that could to help you.  First these programs are either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan programs that are designed to replace an existing loan that is already owned by them.  So the first and most important bit of information you need to know is who owns your loan.  The company you make your loan payment to is a servicer not necessarily the entity that owns your loan. The easiest way to find out who owns your loan is to call me and I’ll help or call the servicer and ask them if your loan is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, if your loan IS owned by one of these agencies your one step closer to being able to take advantage of today’s low rates.  If your loan isn’t then at this time there is no loan program that allows you to refinance at the Loan to Values that the programs I’m going to talk about do. These programs take into consideration the declines in property Value and let you refinance at up to 125% Loan to value. This means that if your loan is $312,500.00 and NOW because of the declining market you property only well appraise at $250,000.00 you can still refinance your loan at today’s rates.  There are interest rate adjustments but rates are still pretty darn good. The best way to figure out if this loan program can save you money is to email me or give me a call and we can run some comparisons to see if this works for you.  This loan program can extremely helpful if you want to change from an ARM type loan or from an interest only loan and replace it with a new 30 fixed rate loan.  This program allows for up to 125% loan to value on the first mortgage. Even if you have a second mortgage you can still refinance with the condition the second mortgage subordinates to the new first mortgage. If you want help to see if you can qualify for these loan programs, contact me and I’ll help you. I’ll help you find out if your loan is eligible for this program and run loan comparisons to evaluate the benefit’s. If you would like you can CLICK HERE and go to my website and fill out a secure loan application and I can start working on it right away.

This is a great program don’t miss out.

Have a great day
