DOWN PAYMENT REGISTRY? Question: We’re getting married and rather than registering for gifts we would prefer cash to help save for a down payment. Some of our relatives think this is nontraditional and maybe unwise.

What do you think?

Answer: Stick to your guns.

According to TheKnot.com, the average wedding now costs upward of $30,000. That’s a huge amount for most families, given that the average household income in 2013 was $51,939. That’s also a huge amount for another reason: Household income in 2013 was 8.7 percent lower than in 1999.

Is some of that wedding money better spent on a down payment for a house? The answer depends on family preferences, finances and dynamics, and whatever is best

in your particular situation. It also depends on family goals: Many families see weddings as a way to help the new couple get a head start in life. The important point is not to let social pressures drive anyone into debt or financial discomfort, including the bride, groom, parents or the guests.

Mortgage lenders like financial gifts. With FHA loans, as one example, the borrower is responsible for coming up with the down payment. There can be a “seller contribution” – say a credit toward closing from the owner – but the down payment itself must come from the purchasers. However, one big exception to the down payment rule is that gifts are allowed from family, friends, an employer or labor union, a charitable organization and even a government agency.

“In order for funds to be considered a gift,” says HUD, “there must be no expected or implied repayment of the funds to the donor by the borrower.”

The value of such gift funds is enormously important.

First, the larger the down payment the less there is to borrow, so monthly ownership costs are lower. Second, if the down payment is at least 20 percent of the purchase price then the borrowers won’t need mortgage insurance, a big cost. In effect, not having to pay mortgage insurance is a sizable dividend.

Q& A

ASK OUR BROKER

By Peter G. Miller

What about registering for gifts? The reality is that people are getting married later. Back in 1960 the typical bride was age 20.3 at the time of her wedding, but now the bride is likely to be age 26.6, according to the Census Bureau. Because people are marrying later they tend to own more stuff at the time of their nuptials, so they have less need for mixers and bathroom scales. Instead, in many cases, checks and cash are very welcome.

The socially acceptable way to get financial gifts is to let the word spread that you would prefer cash and to explain why: Money from a wedding that’s intended for a responsible purpose – perhaps toward the down payment for a home, the repayment of student debt or just for savings – is likely to be an acceptable idea, especially in today’s fragile economy.

FHA Annual Premium Reduction Finalized

make great lenders

umpquabank.com

Mount Vernon, WA 98273

On Jan. 8, 2015, at a speech in Phoenix, AZ attended by NAR President Chris Polychron, President Obama announced that the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) would reduce FHA annual mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) by 50 basis points. This reduction is a victory for the National Association of REALTORS® whose members have called for lower fees on FHA loans since early 2014. NAR raised concerns about the costly premiums to FHA Commissioner Galante in April 2014, and NAR has lead a coordinated effort with other advocacy groups and members of Congress to achieve this victory. NAR estimates that a 50 basis point reduction in the annual MIP from 1.35 percent to .85 percent would price-in an additional 1.6 million to 2.1 million renters, along with many trade-up buyers, resulting in 90,000 to 140,000 additional annual home purchases.

SAY HELLO to the 3% DOWN PAYMENT New Loans from Fannie and Freddie aim to help first-time and low-income borrowers It’s no secret that the biggest hurdle to clear for many first-time and low-income homebuyers is salting away enough cash for the down payment and closing costs.

Now, two government-backed mortgage mammoths are lowering that hurdle and making it possible for this dream to become a reality for more Americans.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae – which provide mortgage capital to lenders and purchase mortgages from loan-originating lenders – recently introduced new programs that each require as little 3 percent down.

Specifically, Freddie Mac’s new Home Possible Advantage program, beginning March 23, offers qualified borrowers a conforming, conventional fixed-rate 15-, 20- or 30-year mortgage with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 97 percent, which can be used to purchase a single-unit property or complete a refinance (without taking out cash) of an existing mortgage. Although the program is available to any eligible borrower, first-time homebuyer applicants must complete a homeownership education and counseling program, and other restrictions apply.

Meanwhile, Fannie Mae in December began offering a similar 97-percent LTV loan option for any January 23, 2015

borrower who hasn’t owned a primary residence for three years. A counseling/education course is not required, but other stipulations and exclusions apply.

Applicants to either program must have a minimum credit score of 620, provide thorough documentation of employment, income and assets, and purchase private mortgage insurance.

“The big plus is that these two programs open up homeownership to hundreds of thousands of new buyers, which will also help stabilize the economy,” says Melissa L. Cohn, in New York. “The goal is to give younger people or people with tarnished credit a better chance to be able to purchase.”

Additionally, Fannie and Freddie’s new 3-percentdown options help raise awareness and hope among prospective buyers, say the experts.

“Research in 2014 clearly showed that a significant cause in the drop-off in sales to first-time homebuyers was that they didn’t think they could qualify,” says Rob Chrane, in Atlanta. Chrane quotes finding from a Zelman and Associates survey last year show that only 28 percent of renters and people living in someone else’s house were optimistic that they could qualify for a mortgage, suggesting a large majority of first-time homebuyers could be underestimating their ability to receive a mortgage with little down.

RE-Weekly.com

Previously, the maximum LTV ratios for both the Fannie and Freddie loans were 95 percent. The gap between a 5-percent and a 3-percent down payment “could make a meaningful difference in their decision to purchase a home because home prices have increased very rapidly, by nearly 40 percent over the past five years,” says Nela Richardson, chief economist with Redfin in Seattle.

The best candidates for either program are millennials and other folks with decent credit and stable income but little cash saved, says Casey Fleming, a San Francisco-based mortgage adviser and real estate author.

“The number of families who qualify and for whom it is the right product is actually very small, but for the family that is able to buy six months sooner because of these programs, it will be very significant,” Fleming says.

For those with weaker credit, Fleming recommends an FHA loan, which carries a 3.5 percent down payment. The FHA also recently announced a significant decrease in its mortgage insurance premiums, from 1.35 percent of a loan’s value to approximately 0.85 percent – effectively saving an average first-time buyer about $900 annually on mortgage payments.
