ATTENTION  HOME BUYERS, SELLERS & INVESTORS

for Fine Homes and Land.

Prices are almost 50% lower than last year at this time in the Greater Phoenix market and mortgage rates are the LOWEST SINCE 1961!!

We know where to find values in Short Sales and Bank Owned Properties!!

 

Mortgage rates edge up slightly

The benchmark 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage edged up 4 basis points, to 5.8 percent, according to the Bankrate.com national survey of large lenders. A basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percentage point. The mortgages in this week's survey had an average total of 45 discount and origination points. One year ago, the mortgage index was 6.62 percent; four weeks ago, it was 5.45 percent.

Also in Bankrate's weekly survey, the benchmark 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage dipped 3 basis points, to 5.16 percent. The benchmark 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage declined 11 basis points, to 5.26 percent.

Last week's dip in mortgage rates appears to have spurred both new mortgage and mortgage refinance activity, with applications increasing a seasonally adjusted 6.6 percent for the week ending June 19, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

When compared with one week earlier, applications for new purchases jumped 7.3 percent, the biggest one-week percentage gain since early April. Refinance activity increased 5.9 percent.

This week's rise follows four weeks of sharp declines in mortgage activity.

Sellers - Loan Modifications or a Short Sale
Don’t let your home go into Foreclosure & don’t agree to give your lender your Deed In-Lieu of Foreclosure!
Both are major “equal hits” to your credit!
Don’t pay money to scammers to do your Loan Modification – I will show you how to do it yourself,
no charge!
If you can no longer afford your home, I will show you the benefits of doing a Short Sale where your Lender takes less than is owed on the mortgage and they will not come after you for their loss! You can then move on without the burden of a mortgage and begin to rebuild.
A Short Sale bruises your credit; it doesn’t destroy it like a Foreclosure or Deed-In Lieu!
You pay nothing - the Lender pays ALL COSTS!
The Obama Housing Rescue Plan now includes up to $1500 to you for a successful short sale.
I close 85% of my Short Sales while most agents only have a 10% success rate.
Call me to discuss all of your options!
