Columbus Mortgage Market: 8-)…..Yes!!!

Friends:

The Fed’s are getting ready to sell a bunch of 10 year Treasury Bonds making the supply go up, demand down. This will force rates down.

Thanks!!! Steve

Mortgage Tip of the Day:
Rent payments going towards the down payment can be used but only the amount over the market rent for the property. The problem we have is determining the market rent. An appraiser has to do that before the rent is determined.

Thought of the Day:
Coal under pressure produces diamonds.

Today’s Fun Fact:
Before he got into steamy novels and lust and lies, Sidney Sheldon dreamed up “I Dream of Jeannie” and “The Patty Duke Show”.

Fact or Crap?:

LEGAL STUFF

• *APR – Annual Percentage Rate
• **ARM – Adjustable Rate Mortgage (rate may increase after consummation of the loan
• ***Cash out refinance – Refinance means pulling out at least $2,000 or more or paying off a non-purchase second mortgage

All payments estimates above do not include amounts for property taxes and homeowner’s insurance premiums and your actual payment obligation will be greater.

Annual Percentage Rates and Payment Estimates quoted are based on a $100,000 loan amount except the 5/1 ARM, 7/1 ARM and Jumbo fixed loan amount is $418,000 and 20% down payment with the exception to the FHA and OHFA quotes which are based on a 3.5% down payment.

Qualifying Assumptions (unless otherwise noted): 45 day rate lock, $100K-$417K loan amount, credit scores 740+, Owner-occupied Purchase or rate/term refinance. Cash-out refinances (including paying off a non-purchase 2nd mortgage) could result in a slightly higher interest rate. The interest rate quoted are to serve as a guide only and may be different based on specific loan features. Please call for a specific quote.

We CANNOT lock in an interest rate on a loan with a voicemail or email. The customer MUST talk to the loan officer over the phone or in person before it can be confirmed. The market changes too frequently.
We recommend calling during business hours to make sure we have all the markets open and available.
