Rule of Thumb Regarding Mortgages:
Inquire and Get the Facts
There's definitely been an upswing seen in the local Chicagoland housing market, as well as many other markets across the U.S. All good news.
But the positive that's spoken loudest to me as a Mortgage Lender has been the "shape" and level of "approvability" of many of my most recent mortgage applicants. Many have been better off than they initially thought and represented themselves as.What do I mean by this?
Simply put, during their mortgage search ... and throughout their actual mortgage process, they've found:
- They were in a better financial position to obtain a mortgage than they'd believed previous to our talking
- They've been pleasantly surprised at the number of mortgage program choices available to them
- The Interest Rates attached to their mortgage program choices have been very favorable
My experiences during this time period were confirmed as I read an article on themreport.com today. Freddie Mac and RealtyTrac have been noting much the same thing as I have.
Subsequently, both have stressed the importance of potential Buyers and Borrowers taking the time to inquire about their financing options and capabilities. Presently, too many potentially successful Buyers and Borrowers are making assumptions that are unfounded and untrue. And its keeping them from taking action.
This is an issue I've raised in my own previous posts. These assumptions are continuing to cause un-needed continued financial hardships ... or stopping too many from considering a housing move.
