US home sales rise

US home resales increased 0.6 percent in November,

 industry data showed, suggesting the slumping property market is stabilizing.

breitbart.com

The National Association of Realtors said existing-home sales amounted to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.28 million units in November, well ahead of the 6.15 million figure expected on Wall Street. This followed a 0.5 percent increase in October.

 

The November sales level was 10.7 percent below the pace of a year ago, reflecting the tumble in the real estate market after years of spectacular growth.

David Lereah, NAR's chief economist, said the report suggests the worst may be over for the housing slump.

"As the housing market recovers from its correction, existing-home sales should be rising gradually during 2007 -- it looks like we may have reached the low point for the current cycle in September," he said.

"We've entered a more sustainable period of home sales now, and we expect greater support for prices over time as inventory levels are eventually drawn down."

The latest report showed housing inventory levels fell 1.0 percent at the end of November to 3.82 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 7.3-month supply at the current sales pace.

Second Mortgages Interest rates

What Are Second Mortgages, And When Are They Helpful?

2nd mortgage basically allows you to borrow money against the equity of your home. If you need cash fast for things such as remodeling your home, adding on another room or even to consolidate your debts, these options are useful. A second mortgage in the form of a home equity loan is a great way to get extra cash fast and these types of loans are usually calculated at a set interest rate.

Interest rates tend to be much higher with second mortgages than with refinancing. If you need cash quickly and plan to pay off the money that you have borrowed quickly, a second mortgage is just the ticket. You are also given a lot of flexibility with a second mortgage, including having the option of borrowing all of your home’s equity or just part. You can also choose a long-term repayment option or a short term one.

Some lenders call it secured loan. 2nd mortgage loans are loans that are made in addition to the first mortgage, and it is usually based on the amount of equity that the borrower uses to build into his home.

Refinance Second Mortgage, means that you'll be getting a new mortgage with a new low interest rate and  new term.

fixed rate mortgage vs adjustable rate mortgage

The are two types of mortgage loans:

Fixed rate mortgage, and adjustable rate mortgage(ARM).
In a fixed rate mortgage,the interest rate remains fixed for the life of the loan. The borrower is protected from sudden increases in monthly payments if interest rates grow. Borrowers choose fixed rate mortgage when interest rates are low.

In a adjustable rate mortgage(ARM),the interest rate may change during the life of the loan.

If you intend to live in your home more than just few years and you like the financial stability of a fixed payment, Than fixed rate mortgage is the right loan for you.

But, If you Plan to briefly remains in your home, Don't afraid from monthly payment change, And you firm your income will increase in the future, Than adjustable rate mortgage is the right loas for you.

Adjustable rate loans have cleverly protected borrowers money in recent years.
According the msn money expert fixed-rate mortgage are much higher than the Adjustable Rate Mortgages.

Mortgage interest rates drop

Mortgage rates fall sharply

Mortgage rates at 8-month low

Rates on 30-year mortgages fell sharply last week to the lowest level in eight months, reflecting easing inflation concerns.

Mortgage-giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages dipped to 6.24 percent, down from 6.33 percent the previous week. The decline pushed rates to the lowest level since March 2, when they also stood at 6.24 percent.

Analysts attributed last week’s drop to further good news on inflation as both consumer and wholesale prices registered big drops

Tips For Using A Loan Calculator  
 by Tim Renolds

 
When it comes to getting a loan for your mortgage and using a mortgage calculator, you should definitely know the differences in a home equity loan and a home loan. First, a home loan is basically your first loan when purchasing a home. This could mean first time buyers or seasoned buyers that are just looking for a different home. A home equity loan is a type of loan that uses the equity within your home to determine how much you can receive. This type of loan is typically referred to as a second mortgage; additionally with this type of loan, the interest rates are higher than that of a home loan.
When you are wanting to obtain a home equity loan you should use a mortgage calculator specific for home equity to determine what the different areas of using your equity in relation to the payment is required. These calculators typically help you to determine if this action is the best for you or not. One thing that a mortgage calculator can really help you with is determining if refinancing the home entirely is a better alternative for you. It can help you with a variety of options when it comes to refinancing, and this is especially true if you have a great deal of equity within your home. If you input these figures into the mortgage calculator, you will be able to itemize and compare which of the options or alternatives is best suited for you.
Typically obtaining a home equity loan is appealing to an owner, for the simple reason that the mortgage lending company or person makes it appealing and wants your property. Prior to agreeing or signing any paper you will want to figure out all details he or she is offering you and consult with your mortgage calculator, you will want to make sure that your calculations match the ones he presented you. One thing that is truly imperative is that you fully understand all obligations required of you when you are obtaining a home equity loan, there is nothing worse than having your home become threatened with foreclosure because there was something you did not understand.
You should consider all of your options to make informed and calculated decisions, as refinancing your home or obtaining home equity loans is a big decision for anyone to make. Do not go into lightly and only sign agreements or contracts that you completely and fully understand.

Mortgage Rates Improve For a 3rd Straight Day, Nearing All-Time Lows Again
by Matthew Graham
27 Jan 2012 at 10:52am

Posted To: Mortgage Rate Watch

Mortgages Rates continued their march into better territory today, capping a 3 day effort of improvement following Wednesday's FOMC Announcement. At this point, rates have not only solidified their re-entry into 3.875% Best-Execution levels, but some lenders are once again competitively priced at rates below that (for detail on "best-execution," READ THIS POST ). That said, we've seen a high degree of stratification over the past 3 days as lenders have responded to the bond market rally at different paces. When we say that rate offerings are more stratified, we're talking about various lenders offering increasingly different rates to the same type of borrowers. At a good handful of lenders in our survey, best-execution rates are still at 4.0%, while the bulk have moved down to 3.875%. But a...(read more)

MBS End Week Near All Time Highs, But Benchmark Rally Momentum is Slowing

Posted To: MBS Commentary

The trading day is rapidly growing uneventful and charts suggest that quite a few market participants already have one or more feet out the door for the weekend. The only real pop of volume and volatility was seen around this morning's GDP report, which was generally a mild boon to bond markets. Consumer Sentiment was close enough to consensus as to have been a non-event and everything since then has been even less so. Trading ranges are narrowing... Stocks and Bonds are following each other to a greater extent... and Volumes are rapidly dwindling... Unless something unexpected happens to cause a surge in volume and volatility, game over... bond markets win. Not only is the pivot point seen in the video a ceiling from yesterday, but it was a major ceiling from the day before, after the FOMC...(read more)

Posted To: MND NewsWire

The Lender Processing Services (LPS) Mortgage Monitor Report for December show improvement in a number of the metrics it tracks. Many measures of delinquency rates are down, inventories are clearing in some states, and recent loan originations are "among the best quality on record." The overall delinquency rate did not change from November, remaining at 8.15 percent but is down 7.7 percent since December 2010. Seriously delinquent loans, those 90 or more days overdue or in foreclosure decreased 0.6 percent to 7.67 percent, a -5.9 percent change from one year earlier. The foreclosure rate which was 4.16 percent in November fell to 4.11 percent in December and is down 1.0 percent year-over-year. Foreclosure starts showed the most dramatic change. There were 159,092 starts in December compared...(read more)

What Should the Government do to Address the Inventory of Foreclosed Properties?
by Brian Montgomery
27 Jan 2012 at 7:06am

Posted To: Voice of Housing

Economists calculate that the decline in home prices has cost American homeowners approximately $7 trillion in home equity. Compounding this problem is the fact that the inventory of homes available for sale remains high and there is potential for a significant volume of “shadow inventory” to hit the market. Intervention is necessary to support the fragile recovery in the housing market and to prevent further declines in home values. What steps must policy makers take to prevent the loss of additional trillions in home equity? The abundant supply of homes available for sale presents opportunities for first-time homebuyers and “move-up” buyers as affordability is at an all-time high. Many, however, are hesitant to make a move as they wait for values to reach “bottom...(read more)

"The trouble with quotes on the internet is that it's difficult to determine whether or not they are genuine." So said Abraham Lincoln. But here is one I received yesterday from Steve S., the president of Residential Mortgage Group in Minnesota: "In thinking about the mortgage programs being proposed, we continue to be too stupid to have our own country." And another from a broker discussing signing documents with his clients: "Anyway, I had an older married couple come in to sign refinance papers this morning and when they got to the page entitled 'Intent to Proceed with Application,' the husband threw up his hand and said, 'You mean we sign and initial 29 times and they still think we don't intend to proceed?

The Day Ahead: GDP, Consumer Sentiment, and Euro Headline Potential

Posted To: MBS Commentary

Volume in the overnight session was just under recent averages but respectable overall. 10yr Treasuries rose as high as 1.9681 after a relatively strong Italian debt auction. Beyond that, there was no major driver of trade as it seems bond markets have opted to shy away from overly aggressive bullish breakouts and are perhaps waiting for this morning's GDP, next week's NFP, or resolution to Greek bond-swap talks that may come some time in between. MBS are opening 2-3 ticks lower; S&P futures just slightly higher, but generally followed bond markets overnight. The world economic forum in Davos continues. The schedule is packed with what sound like meaningful events, such as a "panel debate on the future of the Euro-zone," but as always, we'll have to wait for potentially meaningful news...(read more)

Like their home-building counterparts, remodelers who are members of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) are displaying more confidence in their industry than they have in years. The NAHB's Remodeling Market Index (RMI) for the fourth quarter of 2011 which measures remodelers' sentiments about their business climate rose to 46.6 its highest level in five year. In the third quarter the Index was 41.7. Like the Home Builders Index (HMI) the measures responses from home builders, the RMI surveys NAHB members who are involved in remodeling about current market conditions and about indicators of future conditions. Scores above 50 for the HMI, the RMI or their component indices indicate that more respondents view the market as good than view it as fair. In January the HMI hit a 54 month...(read more)

Mortgage Rates Continue To Solidify Bounce Back To Lows

Mortgages Rates over the past two days have done much to make ground lost leading up to Yesterday's FOMC Announcement. After further improvements today, rates further solidified their reentry into 3.875% 30yr Fixed Best Execution levels. (for detail on what that means, READ THIS POST from a few days ago). The rounded average of various lenders' Best-Ex rates had moved up to 4.0%, and more than a few lenders are still well-priced there, but a majority are once again offering 3.875% with attractive borrowing costs.

MBS Trade Calmly Near Multi Month Highs

The "flatness" of MBS prices is simply uncanny considering that Fannie 3.5's are currently right at their highest levels since late September, and considering the volatility earlier in the week. While it's true that the volatility was definitely expected ahead of the FOMC announcement, the extent to which it has subsided has been nothing short of astonishing. Now... I don't do a perfect job of keeping day-to-day and hour-to-hour tabs on implied volatility, but I do try to glance at 3-month floating vs 10yr fixed swaption straddles (which is one of more popular proxies for volatility in MBS markets). These are measured in basis points (BP), and essentially, the currently quoted BP value is "at the money," meaning the swaption contract makes money for the buyer if the spread between 3-month floating...(read more)
