			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After months of fine tuning and Capitol Hill bickering, financial reform is finally official. President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law Wednesday, kicking the surrounding media frenzy into an even higher gear.</p>
<p>Last week we shared some folks&#8217; speculation as to how the then-pending bill might affect the mortgage analytics industry. With those prognoses now a bit more real, these week we&#8217;ve been paying attention to some more specific and tangible implications. Industry groups and banks, for example, are mailing the White House with their specific concerns about setting the right precedent right out of the gate in terms of lending regulations. And on the broader end of the spectrum, there are also those of the belief that no legislation can change Americans&#8217; innate borrowing habits overnight.</p>
<p>An excerpt from the Wall Street Journal&#8217;s piece on the housing groups&#8217; pleas:</p>
<p>The Mortgage Bankers Association submitted perhaps the most specific vision for a new housing finance structure. Under its model, privately-owned corporations would apply for government charters to guarantee mortgages and package them into securities. The timely payment of interest and principal on the securities would be guaranteed by the government.</p>
<p>The model eschews the implicit federal guarantee that many blame for allowing Fannie and Freddie to grow too large and reckless.</p>
<p>&#8220;In our proposal, the extent of federal backing would be greatly constrained, making explicit what is guaranteed and what is not, and establishing mechanisms to properly capitalize, price and supervise those activities,&#8221; MBA Executive Director Benjamin Hatfield wrote.</p>
<p>The comment letters highlight some crucial fault lines in the debate over the extent and structure of the government&#8217;s role in the housing market.</p>
<p>Bank of America argued that housing GSEs shouldn&#8217;t hold portfolios of mortgages or mortgage securities, for example. The community bankers group, however, said that holding loans on their balance sheets allowed Fannie and Freddie to serve smaller lenders that were selling small volumes of loans into the secondary market.</p>
<p>The question of ensuring that mortgage credit flows to poorer borrowers is another flashpoint.</p>
<p>Critics blamed Fannie Mae&#8217;s and Freddie Mac&#8217;s affordable housing goals for increasing the enterprises&#8217; risk. State housing agencies and community groups, however, say that backing loans from underserved markets should be a core part of housing GSEs&#8217; public mission.</p>
<p>&#8220;Buying affordable loans did not get Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into financial trouble. Buying bad loans did,&#8221; the National Council of State Housing Agencies wrote in a letter.</p>
<p>The American Bankers Association argued that housing GSEs should support the availability of mortgage credit broadly and efforts to serve poorer borrowers or other underserved markets should be left to other programs or entities.</p>
<p>A group of housing groups and academics, in a joint letter, said policy makers should relax their emphasis on homeownership and focus more on ensuring an adequate supply of cheap rental housing.</p>
<p>&#8220;Going forward, policy makers must refocus on the goal of promoting affordable and stable housing options, and pull back from the idea of emphasizing homeownership, regardless of sustainability or cost, as a goal for its own sake,&#8221; the groups wrote.</p>
<p>Industry remains concerned about the disruptions caused by switching to a new structure, particularly if the housing market remains fragile. Policy makers should focus on the costs to the industry of the adjustment to a new regime, the Independent Community Bankers of America argued.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just changing the GSEs&#8217; names would entail a significant re-write of most mortgage processing, underwriting and servicing technology platforms,&#8221; the group wrote.</p>
<p>Save your breath, says Rachel Beck of the Associated Press. No matter how the new legislation shakes out in practice, Americans will always over-borrow:</p>
<p>New regulations, which President Barack Obama signed into law on Wednesday, can only go so far to prevent future financial crises like the one we are living through. Banks will still lend. And many of us will borrow too much.</p>
<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t legislate diligence,&#8221; says Robert Lawless, an expert on consumer credit at the University of Illinois College of Law and a contributor to the blog Credit Slips. &#8220;You can&#8217;t pass laws that make people be careful when they take out loans.&#8221;</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Amazingly, the pace of consumer borrowing hasn&#8217;t fallen off that much, even in the wake of the recession and financial crisis. Mortgage lending has dropped, but borrowing on credit cards and other loans, such as for autos, is only slightly below historical levels.Federal Reserve data shows consumer borrowing ran at an annual rate of .42 trillion in May. That was the 15th decline in 16 months, but the amount is still on par with the winter of 2007, when credit was still booming.</p>
<p>The new rules might get rid of the riskiest loans in the marketplace. Regulators will be able to ban financial products they think are unsafe or outlaw things that might be confusing, like the fine print on credit card or mortgage applications. Mortgage lenders will also be required to verify a borrower&#8217;s income, credit history and employment status.</p>
<p>Those are good first steps, but they&#8217;ll be meaningless if Americans continue to ignore the basics rules of avoiding credit disasters.</p>
<p>We have to understand the kinds of loans were are getting, and whether we can afford them. An adjustable-rate mortgage isn&#8217;t a bad thing on its own, but it can be if you don&#8217;t realize your rate could go from 2 percent to 10 percent five years from now.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t need a wallet full of credit cards. We have to save more. We have to read the disclosures on every loan we get.</p>
<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t force people into long-term financial stability,&#8221; says Todd Mark, vice president of education at the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Dallas. &#8220;Plenty of people still don&#8217;t understand the dangers of debt.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mark and other credit counselors worry what happens next, when the economy improves and credit flows more freely. If the unemployment rate finally retreats, the bingeing could come back, maybe even more than before.</p>
<p>&#8220;When credit is easy, it can be rational to over-borrow,&#8221; says Lawless of the University of Illinois.</p>
<p>Unless Americans radically change their approach to credit, we know where this story goes in five or 10 years. It will look a lot like the mess we&#8217;re in today.</p>

<p>We all tend to be prone to overreaction. All you need to do is turn on the news to find out the latest apocalypse du jour. Of course, the vast majority of these expected calamities that we get ourselves worked up about never in fact show up in our lives. Let&#8217;s face it; we are a bunch of Chicken Little&#8217;s running around shouting about the falling sky. One recent example of this is the media&#8217;s incessant shouting about the skyrocket<span id="more-1058"></span>ing of mortgage rates of late.</p>
<p>Well, relax a little my friend, because I am going to lay out for you that perhaps this hysteria is overblown, and you aren&#8217;t going to have to remortgage your next house at 30% interest.</p>
<p>First of all, you must understand that while for a short period the rates on a 30 year fixed mortgage did indeed dip below 5%, you couldn&#8217;t find anyone anywhere that knows anything about the mortgage industry that said this was going to be a long term sustainable rate. Furthermore, keep in mind that mortgage rates are always in flux and are continually moving around. The only thing that is certain is that going forward is that mortgage rates will fluctuate.</p>
<p>Second, it may be helpful to fill you in on what has caused the movement in the rates and what we can expect going forward. With the massive purchasing of mortgage-backed securities in many countries as well as plunging stock markets driving the rates of the bond market downward, we simply went through a period of abnormally low mortgage rates. However, the recovery is afoot. Several large banks are already beginning to pay back the bailout money they received. Also, the stock market seems to have stabilized to a significant extent.</p>
<p>So, what can you as a consumer do to mitigate having to deal with a quickly rising mortgage rate environment? Well, the first thing to consider is working with an independent broker instead of an employee at a bank. Simply put, a broker will have much more flexibility to relock a mortgage rate for you if a lower rate becomes available prior to your closing date. Conversely, a bank employee will normally not have this flexibility. This allows you the enviable position of being able to be protected against further rate hikes without having to commit yourself if rates go down.</p>
<p>Finally, if you have found the right property, avoid trying to wait for the &#8220;exact perfect&#8221; moment to secure your financing. You will do nothing but drive yourself crazy and potentially lose out on a property that would meet your needs perfectly.</p>
<p>If you weren&#8217;t prone to overreaction, you wouldn&#8217;t be a little thing we like to call &#8220;being human&#8221;. But please, try to keep things in perspective. The media has an agenda, which is to put sensationalistic programming on so that you feel like you need to tune in.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, they don&#8217;t tell you the whole story, which in many cases causes undue stress for people. Don&#8217;t let this happen to you. Work with an experienced, objective mortgage broker to simplify your life and remove as much doubt and worry from your life as possible. Oh, and go have a pint as well. That always helps.</p>

<p>If you are in the marketplace for a new mortgage, it may be for any quantity of reasons. It may be that the money you would like to borrow is meant to purchase a home for you to live in, or maybe an investment property. Or it could be used to pay off your existing home loan so that you can refinance into a new lower, maybe fixed rate mortgage.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s the case, I don&#8217;t have to tell you that the last few weeks ha<span id="more-1065"></span>ve been anything except kind to those among us &#8216;looking&#8217; instead of &#8216;locking&#8217; in the super low rates that were available just a few short weeks ago.</p>
<p>However, there&#8217;s a general consensus out there among both professionals and lay folk who keep close watch on these kinds of things that in general, rates are on their way up. Aside from ordinary daily fluctuations of a bit up today, a bit down tomorrow kind of movement, it definitely looks like the overall trend is going to be higher.</p>
<p>My proposal, especially for someone looking to buy a house that they have their eye on, would be to go on and lock your mortgage loan now. Firstly, you never can tell when someone else might come along and make on offer on that house you would like, and it&#8217;d be a shame to lose it to another buyer. In fact, after such a considerable time of basically NO movement in the housing market, reports suggest that activity levels are starting to pick up, meaning it might not be unlikely that some other person would make an offer on that house.</p>
<p>While this will be great for the overall home market and economy generally, it isn&#8217;t so good for the home patrons. If you don&#8217;t because you&#8217;re waiting for mortgage rates to come back down, not only will you most likely lose the house to another buyer, but the price may go up if you don&#8217;t. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve found that house that&#8217;s going to become your house, make an offer. And enjoy your new home!</p>

<p>European turmoil is the biggest boost to the American home buyers. Investors seeking a safer side on their moneys protection are coming to the US and in return the real estate buyers are getting a great deal, as the mortgage rates are nearing to 50 year low.</p>
<p>After the Federal Reserve stopped the $1.25 trillion purchase of mortgage backed securities, industry experts expected the rate to rise. But now the same experts exp<span id="more-1057"></span>ect the rates to touch 4.50% for 30 year fixed mortgage rates. As the refinance business explodes on the lower rate available.</p>
<p>The 30 year fixed rate last week averaged 4.84%, lowest compared to December&#8217;2009 rate of 4.86%.</p>
<p>The lowest rates are in direct relation to the European debt crises as the investors flocked their cash into the US bond markets for a safer heaven. The Treasury 10 year fixed reached to 3.2%, generally the mortgage fixed yields is about 1.5% points above the 10 year Treasury rates.</p>
<p>In general terms every 1% dip in the mortgage rates the home buyer gets a 10% reduction in home price. If the current rates hold, then it could help the current home owners to <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.goforshortsale.com/">sell existing homes</a> without substantial price cuts. After the tax credit of $8000 expired the new home buying fell to a 13 year low. Even the underwriting standards are very strict, making it even harder to get home mortgages.</p>
<p>Falling rate encourage the new and the existing home owners to consider a purchase or refinance their mortgages triggering rebound in the down housing market. A 1% dip will reduce $125 on monthly payment of a $200,000 mortgage on the 30 year fixed mortgage. Almost half of the mortgage holders have 5.75% or higher rate and can take advantage of the rates now reducing their monthly payments tremendously.</p>
<p>In 2003 when rate fell to their lows the refinance activity triggered a $2.9 trillion business compared to $1.2 trillion last year. Many investors are flocking back to take the advantage of RATES and HISTORIC low <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.goforshortsale.com/">real estate</a> prices.</p>

<p>Rates on 15 and 30 Year Fixed loans have been pretty stable the last month.  In contrast mortgage rates on 5 and 1 year ARMs have been falling.  1 Year rates fell from 5.22 to 5.06 this week.  This is the lowest 1 Year Arms have been since early March.  Its a little weird considering banks are losing a lot of money on ARMs from people going into foreclosure when they reset.  </p>
<p>One would think that banks would be di<span id="more-1067"></span>scouraging people from getting 5 and 1 year ARMs due to the problems they are having from people that got ARMs over the last few years.  Instead with a full point difference between 30 Year Fixed and One Year Arms they seem to be pushing ARMs on potential borrowers.  Below is a history of mortgage rates for the last few weeks.</p>
<p>June 5,2008<br />
30-yr 6.09 15-yr 5.65 5-yr 5.51 1-yr 5.06 </p>
<p>May 29,2008<br />
30-yr 6.08 15-yr 5.66 5-yr 5.62 1-yr 5.22 </p>
<p>May 22,2008<br />
30-yr 5.98 15-yr 5.55 5-yr 5.61 1-yr 5.24 </p>
<p>May 15, 2008<br />
30-yr 6.01 15-yr 5.60 5-yr 5.57 1-yr 5.18 </p>
<p>May 8, 2008<br />
30-yr 6.05 15-yr 5.60 5-yr 5.67 1-yr 5.29 </p>
<p>May 1, 2008<br />
30-yr 6.06 15-yr 5.59 5-yr 5.73 1-yr 5.29 </p>
<p>Using a mortgage calculator lets run some numbers and look at what the rates would translate into today and a month ago.  The 15 Year Mortgage is higher because the loan is paid off in a shorter period of time.  In contrast the 5 year ARM has a interest rate that is only fixed for 5 years but is designed to be paid off in 30 years.</p>
<p>June 5th<br />
30-yr $1210.69<br />
15-yr $1650.11<br />
5-yr ARM $1136.83<br />
1-yr ARM $1080.98</p>
<p>May 8th, 2008<br />
30-yr $1205.53<br />
15-yr $1711.46<br />
5-yr ARM $1157<br />
1-yr ARM $1109.36</p>
<p>A few months ago it seemed to make sense to get a 30 Year Fixed over a 5 Year ARM because there was not a big difference in the monthly mortgage payment you would be facing.  As of today that is no longer true.  On a 200k loan there is a $73.86 difference in the monthly mortgage payment between a 30 Year Fixed and a 5 Year ARM.  ARMs are still a problem because your mortgage payment can reset when you are not ready for it.  For instance I have heard stories of people losing their jobs a week before their mortgage interest rates resets to a higher number.  But with the large difference in today&#8217;s rates makes it hard to ignore the cost savings one would get with a 5 Year ARM.  </p>
<p>If you consider getting an ARM I would advise saving the difference of $73.86 a month and setting that aside for when the ARM resets.  That way if the ARM resets to a higher rate the cash reserve that has been built up for the last 5 years can be used to pay the potentially higher mortgage payment.  If you sell before your ARM resets you can just consider that savings a bonus.</p>

<p>Every American dream of owning a <strong>house,</strong> but with real estate prices touching the sky, this dream remains unfulfilled for many. Do not let that happen to you. Search for the best mortgage rates and a private <strong>home.</strong> If your credit history is good, the better! Are you a low, that would suit your repayment plan. Ask your lender about adjustable rate and fixed mortgage.</p>
<p>Rate mortgage can change<span id="more-1055"></span> during the term of the <strong>loan</strong> depends on a number of factorsas your <strong>loan amount,</strong> the index is associated with the lender&#8217;s margin and much more. You should get all your programs and to avoid the <strong>prices</strong> in order to pay more than what is required on your <strong>mortgage.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The lender Margin</strong></p>
<p>The lender&#8217;s margin is the main factor in determining your Adjustable rate mortgage loans. Thus, the margin of impact do with your lender. Your lender considers this margin in the &#8220;adaptation&#8221;, which isReset your mortgage rate. This lender&#8217;s margin also told how quickly raising interest rates or reduced if they fit your lender of your <strong>loan.</strong> When you compare two similar <strong>housing loans that</strong> have the same interest rate, to the <strong>loan</strong> with the higher margin will cost more. It is also with the market rate swings. Also, make sure that you are the margin that will be your lender about setting up for your program.</p>

<p>The most common margin of lenders included is 2.75%.When you see that a lender is setting a margin greater than the margin for your current <strong>mortgage loan</strong> or second <strong>mortgage loans to</strong> rise. He is probably trying to get more money from you as soon as possible.</p>
<p>You can do the following to get closer to the margin of 2.75% while the purchase of adjustable rate mortgage.</p>
<p>Do you know the risks involved than the market rate is always fluctuating. <br />Consider pay up to a point to buy down the margin. <br />Negotiate with yourLenders, hard and strong! Most lenders have lower margins of no less than 5% when they negotiated with. <br />Last but not least, ensure that you discuss the margin for your mortgage and vote so that your lender knows that you are aware of its importance. A lender would like to offer margin reduction when you talk about it with him.</p>

<p><strong>Everett Mortgage Expect higher Interest Rates Soon</strong></p>
<p>As of March 1st expect FHA mortgage rates, VA mortgage rates, and all other long term interest rates to rise. Expect prices for homes for sale in Everett to fall. I am not Chicken Little and saying the sky is falling but there is going to be some very dark clouds coming soon. Here is why. The Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) will no longer be buying Mortgag<span id="more-1054"></span>e Backed Securities (MBS) on the open market. I know you are saying how is that going to effect FHA mortgage rates?</p>
<p>Well a lender makes a 100 or a 1000 home loans and then packages them into a MBS. They sell that MBS on the open market. The price the open market is willing to pay is what determines what interest rate will be charged on the mortgage. If the interest rate on a particular VA mortgage or an FHA mortgage isn’t high enough the MBS will not get sold and that’s not good. Banks only make their outrageous profits if they churn your money several times. Remember that the deposits they use to make an FHA mortgage or a VA mortgage is your money. Simply lending it out once isn’t enough they have to lender it out several times over but that’s another story.</p>
<p>The Fed has been buying MBS with below market interest rates and in doing so they have kept the interest rate below market. You the taxpayer have been subsiding the mortgage market. I’ll bet you didn’t know that did you?  When the Fed stops buying the open market must buy the MBS or the entire housing industry will come to a screeching halt. To sell the MBS banks will inevitably have to charge more interest.</p>
<p>Now why will prices fall on homes for sale in Everett? The price a home can sell for has a great deal to do with mortgage money liquidity. If interest rates are up that means a buyer with a limited budget can not buy as much home as before. If I have a $1000 a month maximum payment I can buy more home at 5% than I can at 6.5%.</p>
<p>So when the fed stops buying MBS on March 1, 2010 expect prices to fall on homes for sale in Everett. Expect interest rates to increase on all FHA mortgages, VA mortgages and all long term projects.</p>
<p>Jim Johnson and comments are always welcome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Home Equity Mortgage Loans have the characteristics of second mortgage loans and secured loans. These loans are secured in nature because the home is placed as collateral here. Home owners can easily get m<span id="more-542"></span>oney in the value of equity of their home. If the home is located in real estate booming location borrowers can get appraisal up to 125%, otherwise 80% appraisal is given for every home. These loans also posses the nature of personal loans because the money people get through these loans can be used for any of the personal purposes like emergencies, debt consolidation, home improvements, medical loan, education etc.</p>
<p>Borrowers can choose duration to repay the loan according to their convenience which is up to 30 years starting from 10 years. Borrowers also get choice in repayment process, they can choose either fixed rate Home Equity Loan or line of credit Home Equity Loan. For fixed rate loans borrowers have to deposit same installment throughout the life of the loan because rate of interest is not variable and does not vary according to the ups and downs of market. On the other hand line of credit Home Equity Loans are similar to credit cards. Borrowers can withdraw money as much as they need up to the limit of the equity of the home. A credit card or cheque is given by the lenders to the borrowers.</p>
<ol>
<li>A different kind Loan has also been devised by the lenders for the borrowers who are self- employed and generally find themselves unable to show the proof of their earnings and that loan is Low Doc Home Equity Mortgage Loans. Home has become a gold mine these days; people who need money can easily cash their homes. The only risk involved with these Loans is the risk to lose home. You just need to collect quotes from different lenders and then to choose the best suitable loan according to your present financial conditions as well as conditions of market. A broker can help you to do all this, he can also explain you all the terms and conditions as well as do’s and don’ts for not to be in problem in future.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When getting a mortgage, especially if you’re a first time buyer it can seem a bit daunting, with all the jargon flying about fixed rate, variable rate, tracker etc.  It can feel confusing when trying to get a mortgage sorted coupled with the pressure and time constraints to get all the paperwork sorted for your new house it can be a pretty daunting task.</p>
<p>This article will hopefully give you a general idea of<span id="more-557"></span> what each one is and whether it suits your situation as fortunately there are many different types and they cater towards all eventualities.  The main point to make clear is that one mortgage deal may be suitable for one person but not for another, so it’s best to look into possibly getting financial advice.</p>
<p>Firstly a lot of mortgage lenders tend to offer attractive deals to get you onboard, these normally last for around two to five years, during which you get a fixed or variable rate, after this period ends you begin paying back at the lender’s standard variable rate.  This is normally 2% above the bank rate, it is at this point where some lenders allow borrowers to pay a small cost to change providers and take advantage of more deals again.  “Playing” with the system this way ensures you can always have the best deal, assuming inertia doesn’t keep you with your original lender!</p>
<p><strong>Standard Variable Rate mortgages</strong></p>
<p>This mortgage tends to be reflective of the Bank of England’s rates, although this is not a certain measure as lenders are not obliged to reduce their rates if the bank does.  People who don’t follow the value of their mortgages may end up with this kind, and the repayments are not that competitive unfortunately.</p>
<p><strong>Discounted Rate mortgages</strong></p>
<p>These rates tend to follow the previously mentioned Standard Variable Rates, the rates tend to be more attractive than the fixed rate ones but is risky as it follows the bank rates which can rise unexpectedly.</p>
<p><strong>Tracker mortgages</strong></p>
<p>Tracker mortgages are very similar to SVR mortgages however it is relative to the bank’s rates at all times, so when it drops by 2.75% it will go down by that much, not 2.0% if you were on a SVR mortgage.  This is a bit of a double-edged sword as if the bank’s rates rise so will yours.</p>
<p><strong>Fixed Rate mortgages</strong></p>
<p>These are the most secure in that you will never rise or fall, the trouble is to counteract this the rates are normally set high to start with, in the UK it is popular to get a fixed rate mortgage for two years or longer, the main consideration is to make sure that your loan is portable should you choose to move house.</p>
