Current Mortgage Rates: 9.25.2012: Nearing all time lows again

Mortgage Rates Nearing ALL TIME LOWS AGAIN!

The unbelievable mortgage rate ride is once again hitting all time lows.  With a couple more ‘good’ days for mortgages, a SUB 3% 30 yr. fixed will be reality. 

We are still seeing a healthy mix of purchase and refinance loans which is a GOOD sign for the health of the real estate market.  This past summer was a FANTASTIC buying market and our applications reflected the increased activity.  Hopefully, we will continue to see this recent strength in the housing market continue through the winter and into next spring.

Refinance Loans:  HARP refinance loans are still very hot.  If your loan is serviced by Fannie Mae (Click HERE to lookup) or Freddie Mac (Click HERE to lookup) you may be elligible for a refinance with NO APPRAISAL NEEDED!  If your home does NOT qualify for a HARP refinance, clients are looking to the NO MONTHLY MI loans up to 95% to take advantage of these low rates for appraised value protection.  The HomeStyle Renovation loan is a great refinance product for attaining future value construction loans with LOW rates and potentially NO monthly mortgage insurance.

 

Purchase Loans:  The hot summer market saw a move away from FHA loans back to conventional mortgages.  The most popular program has been the 5% down with NO monthly mortgage insurance.  Another popular option is the 3% down program with a reduced monthly mortgage insurance payment.  The renovation loans are also very popular for people buying bank owned properties that are in need of rehab/renovation — HomePath, HomeStyle and the FHA 203k Full and Streamline.
