Mortgage Market & Rates

Columbus Mortgage Rates: Yawn!!

The market is going slightly against us this morning but not enough to make rates go up.

Go out there and sell something today.

MORTGAGE TIP OF THE DAY:
FHA loans are fully assumable with or without release of liability. That makes, if it is assumed with release of liability, the original borrower is NOT on the hook for any losses that may come in the future. Without release of liability means the original borrower is still liable for any losses that may occur. Conventional loans are NOT assumable.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

TODAY’S FUN FACT:
Butterflies taste with their feet. Elephants are the only animals that can’t jump.

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, 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 rates 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.
