Rates:
Mortgage rates nationally have hit their highest level in more than a year, making homes more expensive for buyers who finance their purchases. The rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage jumped 0.22 percentage point to 3.81% this week, according to Freddie Mac. That's up 15% from the record low of 3.31% set the week of November 21, 2012 and the highest rate since it hit 3.83% the week of May 10, 2012. The 30-year rate was as low as 3.35% in early May. *CNNMoney
Home Prices and Inventory: Locally and across Colorado we are still seeing rising home prices, increased home sales, and even though still lower than this time last year, a slight increase in inventory levels. The $250,000 price range and below are doing well, with demand being greater than supply. We are seeing a slight decrease in foreclosure inventory so the 'deals' may be harder to find. |

2007 because of foreclosure or a short sale.* Many are now getting a second chance at owning a home, but this decision is both financial and emotional. Financially, there are time guidelines for Conventional, VA, FHA ,Fannie Mae, and USDA Rural financing. Even though one may have past the time hurdle, there are still mortgage requirements which must be met (i.e. credit score, down payment, DTI). Emotionally, many have had to recover from their experience which takes time, along with feelings of discouragement and depression. During the wait period, previous homeowners who may be currently renting are saving for a down payment and fixing their credit as there is hope after these hardships occur. Please contact an experienced and trusted mortgage lender for more information about wait times, and eligibility. *Bloomberg.com |
