MILLENNIALS AND THE MARKET

The share of homes sold to first-time buyers is on the decline, as millennials wait to make their first purchase

the lowest share since 1987 (30 percent).

“It’s not that young people don’t want to purchase a home, espite enticit’s that they’re delaying conditions ing the purchase,” – improving job Lisa Sturtevant, vice market, low interest president of research rates – the share for a national housing of first-time buyers dropped to 33 percent, conference, said at the according to the 2014 recent 2014 Realtors Conference and Expo.

forming households or making purchases are economic, so as the economy improves, we should see this group become more of a force in the market.

The Millennials – adults age 18 to 33 – saw 60 percent better job growth than the overall population in 2014, and a 6 percent drop in unemployment.

That growth, coupled

with improvements in economic opportunities, may encourage the group to form households and buy homes in coming years.

Millennials represent 60 percent of first-time buyers, according to Jonathan Smoke, a chief economist. Energy and jobs are a top concern for Millennials, who show

a strong preference for urban living and working, and place a high value on mass transit and “work, live, play” communities.

The median age of first-time buyers was 31, according to the NAR profile, unchanged from the past two years. The typical first home was 1,570 square feet and cost $169,000. The me-

dian down payment for first-time buyers was 6 percent; 23 percent said saving for a down payment was difficult, and more than half (57 percent) said student loans delayed saving.

More than a quarter (26 percent) of buyers received a gift from a friend or relative – mom and dad, most likely – to help with the down payment.

FEAR IN THE TIME OF BUYING IT MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO PURCHASE A HOME, BUT A NEW STUDY REVEALS APPREHENSION AND CONFUSION ABOUT MORTGAGES

little about the closing costs required for buying a residence.

Dan Smith, president of a mortgage company in Atlanta, says borrowers today may be somewhat justified in their fears about qualifying for a loan because the process is more involved and lenders require more documentation today.

Nevertheless, he was taken aback by the statistic showing 44 percent

believing that a 20-percent down mandatory is mandatory.

“This is a big misconception,” Smith says.

“Conventional financing is available with as little as 10 percent down (even less via certain lenders).”

Smith adds that eligible applicants can also take advantage of loans offered by the FHA and Veterans Administration, with lower down-payment requirements.

November 21, 2014

The assumptions about credit rating – a credit score between 720 and 740 typically would fit the “very good” designation from the survey – surprised David Atis, a mortgage loan officer in Gibbsboro, New Jersey.

“There are loans that even those with a 580 credit score can qualify for, depending on their financial situation,” Atis says. “In fact, there are many different types of loan programs available to prospective borrowers that they may not be aware of – including programs that allow you to have up to 57 percent of your monthly income go toward the proposed mortgage payment and other payments that appear on your credit report.”

Atis notes that programs exist that assist with closing costs by obtaining a monetary gift from family members. Borrowers also can receive a certain percentage of the purchase price from the seller to go towards paying for closing costs, and there are also grants and employer programs available for assistance with the down payment and closing.

To get the true facts and allay any concerns about borrowing eligibility, mortgage seekers should consult with reliable experts.

“Buyers are often reluctant to contact real estate agents and mortgage professionals, fearing highpressure sales tactics.

But talking to [them] is the right way to get the best

information tailored to one’s own situation,” says Ron Rovtar, broker associate in Boulder, Colorado.

“You can find trustworthy pros by getting referrals from friends, family and neighbors. Make sure you interview several lenders and agents.”

Ryan Donovan, a realtor in Burlington, Vermont, agrees, noting that borrowers can help demystify incorrect assumptions and correct misguided fears by getting preapproved for a mortgage loan prior to house hunting.

“Getting preapproved gives you a great idea of what a mortgage will (cost) on a monthly basis as well as what you can expect for closing costs and down payment options,” says Donovan.

Can I Cancel My Mortgage Insurance?

30-year financing and less than 5 percent down. For FHA loans issued between Jan. 1, 2001, and June 2, 2013, the cancellation rule looks like this: 1. The annual MIP automatically will be canceled when the outstanding balance reaches 78 percent of the original debt.
