Carmel Mortgage Rates

Rates…WOW!

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

I really thought we had seen the end of the 4% rates as we have crept slowly but surely out of the basement and up to the new floor of 5% as of late. However, this weeks rate sheet from Chad Hawker at Princeton Capital shows otherwise with some spanky rates:

30 Yr. Fixed up to $417,000 at 4.5% no points
30 Yr. Fixed up to $729,500 at 4.750% no points
30 Yr. JUMBO to $2M at 5.250% no points

If you want better rates, you can pay a point and cut those numbers further!

Chad has the inside line on some amazing loan offerings. Not only that, but he is the only lender we work with that always closes on time. This may not seem like a big deal now. But, I can assure you that at the end of a 30-45 day escrow period when each party is very anxious to close the deal, ANY and ALL delays become VERY frustrating.

In fact, as I type this post we have a deal with “Lost in Fargo” that is running over a week late – again. They haven’t closed one loan on time with us in the last year. Not only does Chad offer great loan programs, he closes. On time. That means you get your money or you get your keys on the day you have been expecting them and to me, that is more than enough reason to use him. In a time where “personal banker at XYZ lending”  make promises to close on time, the track record does not substantiate those claims.

FHA Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium’s on the rise

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

For buyers who may be very close to making an FHA purchase, please keep in mind that the Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium for these loan types will increase by a quarter percent after April 18th. With a down payment of only 3.5%, FHA loans are particularly attractive to first time buyers - especially in ourexpensive Monterey County area where the problem isn’t so much affording a monthly mortgage payment (have you browsed rental rates lately!!!???), but rather saving up adequate down payment to make a purchase. The FHA program, which allows a 3.5% down payment is a great tool for Monterey County real estate…just be careful in calculating your full loan costs and monthly expenses. For more specific and detailed information on this subject, you can contact ChadHawker@PrincetonCap.com or ChristinaFernandez@MortgageCalifornia.com Both are excellent resources for your Monterey County financing questions.

Remember, this is a historic time: Low rates + low prices = opportunity
