Buying? Selling?

Historic low interest rates, home prices on the rise, low inventory, HARP refinances, etc. Seems like there is a lot of news surrounding both the housing industry and mortgage market and it can sometimes be difficult to get your mind around it. In working with clients either purchasing a new home or refinancing their existing home, I do get to see our industry from many different perspectives. For those in the market to purchase, we are seeing clients confronted with low inventory and multiple offers. Here are some ideas from the lending side that can help strengthen your offer: First, get all of your information to your lender (hopefully me!) before you start looking at properties. Your lender should be able to obtain a solid loan approval within 3-5 business days. This way all that the lender is waiting for is property information and you can offer a quick closing. There are a lot of banks taking 60 plus days to close a loan, so work with a lender who is fast. Next, do not ask for closing costs assistance. If coming up with the closing costs is tough to do with your down payment, your lender can always roll your closing costs into the loan. Once again, if the seller is looking at multiple offers, they are looking for fast closings and the one that is putting more money in their pocket. Refinancing is huge right now and the new HARP program is going strong. Currently we are closing 10-20 transactions a month in which the client owes more than their home is worth. For those with equity, rates are at levels never seen before, so you owe it to yourself to check it out. I am always available to give you a quick consultation on any new or existing mortgage. Remember the mortgage market is not as scary as it is sometimes made out to be. You have an advisor and ally in me – I look forward to assisting you!
