UNDERSTANDING ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE

Answer:

The APR, or “annual percentage rate,” is intended to help borrowers better understand the cost of possible loan choices and provide a way to quickly and easily compare mortgage options.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, I am trying to help my son and his wife look the “APR takes into account not only the at different mortgage refinancing choices. I interest rate but also points, broker fees, and thought that I could find the effective rate of certain other credit charges that you may be a loan (APR) by dividing the costs of the loan required to pay, expressed as a yearly rate.” by the loan amount, then adding that to the Generally, to compute the APR, you first have quoted rate. For example, a 6.5 percent interest to look at the interest rate, the 6.5 percent in rate on a $150,000 loan with closing costs of $5,000 would be 6.83 percent. When I compare your example. Then you add in related fees and other loan APRs, this math doesn’t always divide by the potential length of the loan. match up. What’s up with this?

But, this calculation often doesn’t work. Here are two reasons why.

First, notice what the FTC said in its APR definition. “Certain” fees are used to figure the APR – but not all fees. The $5,000 number used

Question:

Q& A

ASK OUR BROKER

By Peter G. Miller

in your example may include costs that are not part of an APR calculation.

Second, the APR is computed over the potential life of the mortgage, say 30 years. This sounds reasonable for purposes of comparing loans, but makes little sense in the real world because few mortgages are outstanding that long.

For instance, the financial impact of $5,000 in fees is far greater over 10 years than over 30 years.

As an alternative to the APR, ask lenders to quote the “par” rate for any mortgage offer – the interest cost with zero points. Then compare closing costs separately.

Loans Real Estate Lifeguard

Insurance for ‘Drowning’ Homes Guards Against Foreclosure and Devaluation Not to be mistaken for flood insurance, which covers your property in case of actual water damage, underwater mortgage protection insures a home if the value of the property falls below the amount owed on the mortgage.

This circumstance is often referred to as ‘negative equity,’ ‘underwater’ or ‘drowning’ homes.

Negative equity is an ongoing problem for homeowners: 7.1 million homeowners, or 15 percent of all homeowners, in the U.S. are underwater, according to CoreLogic, a property information and analytics firm.

AmTrust Financial Services is the first in the nation to offer Underwater Mortgage Protection, which costs the homeowner an average of $40 to $50 per month.

“We created underwater mortgage protection to help homeowners who want to avoid the potential pitfalls of being underwater when they want or need to sell their home,” says the program’s co-founder, Matthew Kayton, vice president of real estate insurance at AmTrust Financial.

With this coverage, AmTrust Financial helps homeowners through the sale process with a guaranteed sale date. It will pay the homeowner’s difference between the mortgage and real value of the home, remaining mortgage debt and costs associated with selling.

Kayton says the insurance offers homeowners peace of mind. This way, homeowners can avoid the negative credit or tax implications that sellers often face when they undergo foreclosure or short sale.

Consumer groups, in contrast, advocate for the homeowners to make smart purchasing decisions to avoid negative equity, and to take the insurance money and instead “self-insure” by paying down the mortgage principal faster.

The product comes with a few restrictions: It can only be issued on a primary residence (no vacation or second homes) and has a maximum property value of $400,000.

Sustainable, Social and Simple

The Three L’s of Real Estate are Giving Way to Three S’s Location, location, location – still hugely important when it comes to buying real estate. Architects and homebuilders, though, say that three more factors are coming to the forefront.

A newly released survey by the American Institute of Architects shows that homeowners prefer community-driven, walkable neighborhoods with contemporary home exteriors.

“With a revival in interest in urban living, there has been a marked transition in what people are looking for in their communities,” said AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker in a recent press release.

The AIA’s Home Design Trends Survey evaluated the third quarter of 2013, focusing on trends in neighborhoods and community design. The survey also found that the housing market is recovering in nearly every sector.

Infill development topped the list of most important community design elements.

Easy access to retail, transportation, entertainment, employment is vital to enticing would-be residents to urban communities, Baker says.

The survey also evaluated the popularity of a variety of home exterior features such as: low-maintenance exterior materials, front porches, windows and sustainable roofing, contemporary design, simpler exterior detailing and single story homes.

“We’re seeing people build smaller homes,” says Matt Risinger, president of Risinger Homes, a building and remodeling company in Austin, Texas.

While the use of low-maintenance exterior materials was most preferred, the largest increases from 2012 figures were in windows and sustainable roofing, as well as contemporary design.

To Risinger’s clients, a low energy bill is appealing, so it’s no surprise that the AIA survey reflected an increase in the use of green home materials, such as sustainable roofing products and solar reflective, cool roofs.

The use of windows on home exteriors is also growing in popularity and showed a 10 percent increase from 2012 figures.

January 17, 2014

“For the Baby Boomer generation, there’s more focus on the quality of their home. It’s about building homes smaller, better and more efficient,” Risinger says.

In the Midwest, the trend is similar. “They’re looking for ranches, one floor, all the utilities on the same level, wider stairways, wider doorways, they’re trying to eliminate stairs,” says Guy Lipovsek of Brillo Home Improvements, a residential and commercial remodeling firm in Milwaukee.

Clients have a desire to live in their homes as they age, rather than move into nursing homes, Lipovsek says.

Low-maintenance products stand at the top of the list of popular features for home exteriors, according to the AIA survey. Both Risinger and Lipovsek say they’ve seen a rise in the use of low-maintenance products – such as synthetic siding, and brick and stone exteriors – in the homes that they’ve built.

The residential housing market is recovering, as reported by residential architects. Of the respondents, 40 percent indicated an increase in their firm’s billings over the preceding quarter.

“I think it’s confirming other trends that we’re seeing, that the residential market has turned around pretty nicely and pretty sharply and it’s got a lot of momentum behind it. And it’s likely to continue,” Baker says.

The housing recovery has followed a pattern of improvement by sector. Condos and townhouses and vacation and second homes have been the slowest to recover, mainly due to overdevelopment before the market collapse in 2008, Baker says.

In terms of regional growth, the market is likely to see the most growth in the South and Western U.S., due to population growth.

Based upon housing forecasts, a 25 percent increase in 2014 in the level of production, as well as a 10 percent increase in spending on home improvement is predicted, according to Baker.

He says, “I think most economists are looking at the housing market as one of the strongest sectors in the economy this coming year.”
