Twelve thousand years
ago, Tucson was a Native American village by the name of “stukshon.”
Loosely translated, it means, “springs from the foot of the black hill.”
And that is exactly what Tucson does. Located along the banks of
the Santa Cruz River and bordered by both the Sonoran Desert and the
Catalina Mountains, much of Tucson's allure is in its ancient land,
heritage and spirituality, and perfect weather. It's a coveted
lifestyle.

Mortgage News in a Nutshell
August 18 , 2008
Last Monday's Par-rates*
(30-day lock with 1 Point): Conforming 30-yr fixed
6.375%, 15-yr fixed 5.875%
This Morning's Par-rates*
(30-day lock with 1 Point): Conforming 30-yr fixed
6.375%, 15-yr fixed 5.875%
There are no economic
reports due out today so the bond market is taking direction
from the stock market. The price of oil is at it's lowest
level since May 1st (good for rates).
More important I have spent several
hours over this past weekend gathering information on
exactly how HERA (Housing and Economic Recover Act) will
affect our clients ability to finance their home purchase
using FHA loans. It is important to note that until FHA
releases it's official statement via their "Mortgagee
Letter" this information is subject to change. However,
since the changes are significant the more you
know the better prepared you can be. For lack of a better
term, I'm going to call the changes "Good"
and "Bad"!
Good:
effective April 9, 2008 through April 2009 "first time
homebuyers" can get a $7,500 TAX CREDIT.
Obviously there are several criteria to be met, but this
will, in effect, give home buyers a 15-year interest
free loan!
Good: a
new option is available to help home owners that are "upside
down" on their home loans. Again, there are several criteria
to be met, but this may be an option to foreclosure for a
percentage of home owners.
Bad:
Effective October 1st, Seller Funding Down Payment
Assistance programs are being eliminated. If you're working
with a Buyer (or you have a listing) relying on AmeriDream
or Nehimiah, your best bet is to have them lock their loan
NOW and have it funded no later than 9/30/08. Be aware that
some investors have eliminated the loan effective
immediately so check with your Lender before going any
further.
Bad:
Effective on all FHA Case numbers assigned on/after October
1, 2008 the Up-Front MIP will increase from the current 1.5%
to approximately 3.0% AND cash requirements may
increase from 3.0% to 3.5%. If you're working with a Buyer
using FHA financing, contracting on a property and having a
case number assigned on/before 9/30/08 will save them 1.50%
on their mortgage insurance. Talk about a great discount!
