Pros!
There are a number of changes occurring as of today's date, January 26th, 2015. Fannie Mae's AppraisalReview changes take place on this date ... as well as FHA's reduction in mortgage insurance costs . (Click on the highlights for more detailed information.)
The latter will hopefully prove beneficial in kickstarting our Chicagoland real estate market and helpful in aiding potential homebuyers in their home purchases immediately and into Spring. Time will tell if the additional layer of scrutiny given to appraisals proves to be an issue.
Interest Rates have remained low after suffering a few hiccups earlier this month. Who could have ever predicted we'd still be seeing these present lows? Home buyers that take action to buy now will definitely benefit via the cost savings realized over the life of their loan. A great sales point!
If you have clients sitting on the fence, have them contact me. Many times hearing and seeing actual numbers convinces them it's time to buy like nothing else can.
Let's make the week successful and prosperous. Give me a shout if you have questions or have clients in need of mortgage service. I'll be glad to hear from you ...
