From the Wall Street Journal: “This is still a remarkable time to be a first-time home buyer. Affordability is the best it has been in 30 years, thanks to the combination of a 34% decline in prices since the 2006 peak and a historically low 4% average rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage.

“The two affordability metrics that truly matter are how much monthly income a mortgage consumes, and whether this is less costly than renting. On the first count, I calculate that home prices are now an astonishing one-third cheaper than the historical norm. On the second, real-estate website Trulia figures that buying is cheaper than renting in 98 out of America’s 100 major markets. That is practically a clean sweep.”

If you’d like to take advantage of the low housing prices in Houston, Texas, you need a licensed Texas mortgage broker! You’d be wise to do business with us instead of a major retail bank since we don’t charge the high application fee that they do, we don’t charge points, and we won’t take forever to close your loan!

Accenture Credit Services announced that, “Low interest rates, less competition, more regulation and tighter credit standards have pushed the time it takes the biggest mortgage lenders to refinance a mortgage loan from 45 days a year ago to more than 70 days now.” Underwriters, who in the past could underwrite 6-8 files a day, now do 2-3 – and they’ve turned into auditors instead of underwriters. And the borrower, of course, is the one who pays the cost of the longer time frames and the higher overhead.

Isn’t it interesting to remember that in October of 1981 mortgage rates for a 30-year fixed rate were 18.45%? That’s a historical high and we’ve had historical lows in the last six months. Today’s rate for a 30-year fixed is 3.75% with a 3.909% APR! I’d say it’s time to refinance if you have not yet done so. With even a one percent difference in rates, you can save a lot on not only your monthly payment, but on the life of your loan. And you just need to stay in your home another year or so to recap the cost of refinancing.

The cost of refinancing with us is lower than with the major retail banks! We don’t charge points! We don’t have a $200-$250 application fee like the big banks, either! Our closing costs are up front and you can see what it will cost you to refinance. Make a no-obligation call to find out the information on your particular situation today – 512-996-8194!

From stats from Freddie Mac’s Quarterly Product Transition Report:

The number of borrowers choosing a one-year adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) was statistically zero in both the first quarter of 2012 and the last quarter of 2011.  Sixty percent of homeowners who had one-year adjustable picked 15-year fixed rate mortgages (FRM) for their new loan.  The shorter term FRM was also extremely popular with borrowers who were refinancing from another 15-year (89 percent, unchanged from the previous quarter) or the slightly longer 20-year (68 percent, down from 73 percent). Only 9 percent of borrowers who were originally in a 15-year moved to a longer-term product.   

Borrowers refinancing hybrid ARM loan either stuck with those loans (32 percent) or moved to a 30-year FRM (57 percent.)  Borrowers also displayed some brand loyalty; 66 percent chose a loan with the same term as the one they had just paid off.

With us, you won’t be a statistic, but will receive all the personal attention that your Texas purchase or refinance requires. We aren’t like the big retail banks who are running 60-90 days behind processing new or refinance loans! Also, unlike the big banks, we don’t charge points!

Wall Street Journal headline yesterday: “Borrowers Face Big Delays in Refinancing Mortgages!”  The article states, “Clogged mortgage pipelines have created headaches for hundreds of thousands of Americans trying to take advantage of low mortgage rates, which averaged 4.05% for the week ending April 27, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.”

“When Craig Foyer called Bank of America Corp. in March to ask about refinancing the mortgage on his Oconomowoc, Wis., home, a saleswoman told him the company was “swamped with business” and that it would call him back in 60 to 90 days, he says.

“That doesn’t do much for someone interested in the market right now,” said Mr. Foyer, 46 years old, who works in software development.

Call us today for no-delay application and process of your Texas refinance. We help Texans every day and they are always pleased to find that we not only can process their refinance mortgage, but we don’t charge points like those big, retail banks. Call 512-996-8194 to discuss your options today!
