Mortgage Rates in 2009

Treasury's New Plan - 4.5% Mortgage Rates

Homeowners may soon enjoy mortgage rates as low as 4.5 percent if the Treasury Department has its way. According to The Wall Street Journal's on-line addition late Wednesday, the department is discussing a plan that would use Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to push banks to make mortgages available at more than a full percentage point below the current levels for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage.

The plan under review might lower rates to the 4.5 percent range and would be in addition to a program announced last week wherein the Federal Reserve will purchase up to $600 billion of debt either issued or backed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Banks. That program is already having an effect on mortgage rates which have dropped and caused investors to pay more attention to the stocks of banks and home builders.

Probably in response to the earlier new program and the lower rates, mortgage applications jumped a record 112.1 percent as seasonally adjusted over the previous week according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

The Journal reported that the government would encourage banks to issue new mortgage loans at lower rates by offering to purchase securities backed by the loans at a price equivalent to the 4.5 percent rate; funding the program by issuing Treasury debt at 3 percent.

Under the Treasury Department proposal, the low rate would only be available to those purchasing a home, not for refinancing. Borrowers would have to qualify for a conforming mortgage that could be guaranteed by one of the government sponsored enterprises or the Federal Housing Administration. To qualify for those types of loans borrowers must be able to document their income and have sufficient income to make monthly payments.

The government hopes that this plan will increase the demand for homes and stabilize housing prices. Both of these factors are considered by many economists to be key to improving the current economic situation. It may also help a bit with the other primary housing concern - preventing foreclosures - as it may make it easier for homeowners in trouble to sell their homes and get out from under delinquent mortgages. In many cases, however, such an avenue will not be available to homeowners because so many lack any equity.

The Treasury Department plan is only in the talking stage and may not be ready until after President Bush leaves office on January 20 at which point it would be necessary for President-elect Obama to sign off on it.

Don't Let National News Fool You..

We recently came across this article and found it very uplifting and reassuring for the local real estate market. To see the published article, click here.


Raleigh, N.C. —

Home buyers looking to capitalize on falling prices may have missed their best opportunity for a bargain in the Raleigh-Cary metropolitan area.

At least that’s what the latest data from the Federal Home Finance Agency show.

The number of new and existing homes sold across the Triangle fell sharply in October from September, according to the N.C. Association of Realtors. However, prices of homes were still 4 percent higher than a year earlier, the association reported.Even as housing prices plunge nationally at record rates, home values in Raleigh and Cary actually increased by 0.41 percent in the third quarter, the FHFA said Tuesday. As minuscule as the gain may be, it was far better than the average 1.8 percent decline nationally. Home prices also dipped in the Durham and Fayetteville metro areas, with Durham-area prices falling 1.59 percent and Fayetteville values dipping 0.67 percent. Over the past year, however, each of the three metros reported positive gains in prices: Raleigh by 3.84 percent, Durham by 1.53 percent and Fayetteville by 1.39 percent. Across North Carolina, prices are up 1.99 percent over the past year compared with a 4 percent decline nationally.

The FHFA’s data is based on home sales, appraisals and refinancings. Home sales in the Triangle – including Raleigh, Cary and Durham – dipped to 1,397 in October from 1,736 in September, the Realtors said. The average sale price of $248,693 was 4 percent higher than a year earlier. Sales in Fayetteville dropped 7 percent in October from September.

An update on our local market: Don't believe everything you read in the paper.

We recently received an email from the NC Realtors Association. It was in response to a recent article in the News & Observer. Several factors were misconstrued and this was done in an effort to correct and clarify those facts. We hope this helps you answer any questions you may have about the current market.

See below for the letter:



Responding to the News & Observer:
Stacey Anfindsen Shares More Accurate Depiction of Market and Five Reasons Not to Panic Over Local Home Prices

In response to the main headline in the 10/27/08 N&O, I am presenting facts to contradict
the headline, which is yet another attempt to scare local readers by using data from selected national sources. The writer states five reasons; crashing home prices, investor speculation, complex investments, job losses and repeat delinquencies. I will respond to each of these to provide some local perspective.

1) When analyzing our market, I look at data from the counties of Wake, Durham, Orange and Johnston. Within this market, the average closed price of all housing is up 8% and the average closed price of resale housing is up 6%. House price appreciation, which compares the two most recent sales prices of the same house , is an area where the Triangle outperforms the national market. Our current rate of house price appreciation in the Triangle is just over 4%. This rate beats the state (+3.6%) and national rates
(-4.5%).

2) The Wake County Revenue Department reported +/- 21,000 closed sales within the past 13
months. Roughly 5% of these sales were purchased by buyers from out of town, a huge difference compared to the 20% rate nationally.

3) It is almost impossible to track what percentage of local purchases were made via the subprime loan mechanism. Per the FHFA mortgage metrics survey for the second quarter of 2008, 17% of all outstanding mortgages in the U.S. are rated as subprime. Therefore it would be hard to argue that a majority of house purchases were made via this mechanism.

4) Job losses are real both nationally and locally. The Raleigh/Cary/Durham MSA did not have a workforce increase comparing 8/08 with 8/07 for the first time since the 8/01 versus 8/00 period.

5) The mortgage metrics survey reveals some additional information regarding the national mortgage market. They surveyed over 30 million outstanding loans in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac system and found that 98.6% of these loans were rated as current. They also state that foreclosure proceedings were initiated on 432 homeowners per day during the second quarter, a big difference from the 2,700 per day figure stated in the lead paragraph. There are currently +/- 14,000 listings within the four county area in TMLS. Roughly 3% of these listings are classified as foreclosure, bank or corporate owned. I have been tracking the residential market within the Triangle for over 20 years. The foreclosure market has
always accounted for a very small percentage of activity.

Our current market can be summed up with my version of the good, the bad and the ugly;

The Good

• Third quarter closings were the 6th highest in history.
• Current supply of 8 months is lower than national current supply of 11 months.
• Average house price appreciation is superior to state and national rates.
• Average re-sale sales price +6%, average overall sales price +8%, average list price +2%.
• Houses priced correctly have sold in an average of 55 days
  

The Bad

• Overall inventory grew 7%, making 2 consecutive months of less than 10% growth
  Withdrawn listings increased 2% compared to 9/07

The Ugly

• 29 consecutive months of inventory growth, 20 consecutive months of lower pending sales
• 63% of all price points have an oversupply of housing product
• 9/08 expired listings were 227% higher than 9/07 expired listings

A survey of Wake County house purchases where the house was purchased and then re-sold within the past 12 months reveals a median percent per gain of 0%. I think that is pretty impressive compared to what is happening in the national market.

As we have seen during 2008, our local market is not immune from happenings in the national
market.

Our biggest challenges during the fourth quarter of this year and into next year are to growthe workforce and cut down on the number of price points with an oversupply of housing.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Bailout - What does this mean for interest rates?

Lower mortgage rates, more than likely!


The below is from this recent news article:
"Sunday's federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will likely translate into lower mortgage rates and greater availability of credit, experts said. Rates could drop by 1 percentage point from the stubbornly-high 6.39% for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage."This could be good for would-be homeowners," said Tom LaMalfa, managing director, Wholesale Access, a research and consulting firm. "It would reduce the cost of financing at the new and improved Fannie and Freddie."

"The government bailout is aimed at making mortgages easier to obtain and afford. By shoring up the mortgage financing giants, they can continue buying mortgages from lenders and injecting much-needed cash into the system."

"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are crucial to turning the corner on housing," said Treasury Henry Paulson. "Therefore, the primary mission of these enterprises now will be to proactively work to increase the availability of mortgage finance. Our economy and our markets will not recover until the bulk of this housing correction is behind us."

This is definitely encouraging news for those who are thinking of purchasing a new home. As always, we are here to help and answer any questions you might have about the home-buying process. Feel free to contact us!

10 Things You Should Know About North Carolina's Real Estate Market!

We recently came across this list and thought it was very important to share with potential buyers and sellers. We feel it is essential to reassure you of the local Real Estate market. So many forms of media focus on the many negative aspects that are generally in other areas. Unfortunately, many seem to generalize the market issues across all states but North Carolina's market is promising. Here's why.

10 Things You Should Know About North Carolina's Real Estate Market

• THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A NATIONAL REAL ESTATE MARKET. If you read the newspapers, it’s easy to get the idea that real estate markets are the same everywhere. If conditions are bad in Orlando or Los Angeles or Chicago, they must be bad everywhere, right? Wrong. All real estate is local. When you’re looking to buy or sell, pay attention first to sales price trends, volume and inventory in your target market or region, rather than to misleading headlines about national sales trends.
  
• NORTH CAROLINA HOME VALUES ARE STABLE. In 2007, the average sales price of a North Carolina home grew by 4 percent, an indicator that homes generally are still worth more now than they were just a few years ago. In fact, since 2000, the average home sale price in our state has risen by more than 25 percent. And in a 12-month period through September 2007, North Carolina had the seventh-highest appreciation in home prices in the country.
  
• IT MAKES SENSE TO USE A NORTH CAROLINA REALTOR®. If you had a $150,000 legal question, would you deal with it without an attorney’s assistance? If you had a $150,000 income tax issue, would you dare risk not consulting a CPA? There are nearly 45,000 REALTORS® in North Carolina, who subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain the highest level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling a home.
  
• NOW REALLY IS THE TIME TO BUY. Interest rates significantly dropped twice in January in an effort to stimulate the national economy. While North Carolina’s economy hasn’t suffered as much as some states, we nevertheless can benefit from these lower interest rates. The bottom line is this: If you’re a buyer, this market is for you!
  
• AND IF YOU’RE A SELLER, BE PATIENT … AND SMART.Price your home correctly – your home’s value is what someone is willing to pay for it, not the price that you think it should sell for. Competitive pricing is the single biggest reason that a home sells or does not sell. REALTORS® know the marketplace and help you determine an optimum sales price.
  
• IT’S A PRIME TIME FOR SECOND HOMES. Savvy investors and prospective retirees understand how important real estate is to their portfolios. Nationally, about one third of all home sales are second homes or vacation properties; in North Carolina, that figure is nearly 40 percent – largely because of our inventory and desirable locations in the mountains and on the coast.
  
• OWNING A HOME BUILDS WEALTH IN A WAY THAT RENTING CAN’T. According to the Federal Reserve Board, the average renter’s net worth is $4,800. Contrast that to the average homeowner’s net worth of $171,000. Clearly, it pays to own a home, as the hard-earned equity you build will pay future dividends.
  
• THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPUTABLE MORTGAGE COMPANIES READY TO LEND. If you have good credit and a realistic understanding of what you can afford, getting mortgage approval to purchase a home can be more easily attained. Help is also available through the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency and other organizations.
  
• A HOUSE IS WHERE YOU MAKE A HOME, NOT JUST A BUCK. Most purchasers don’t buy a house to flip it. They buy it to live in it, to establish their roots, to raise a family and to build on the American Dream. The value of strong communities, civic pride, comfortable retirement, and a higher quality of life can’t simply be expressed on a balance sheet.
  
• HOUSING DEMAND IN NORTH CAROLINA IS ON THE RISE. Even in what was considered a down year in 2007, there were more than 125,000 existing home sales in North Carolina – that’s the third highest number ever, exceeded only by 2006 and 2005. And estimates indicate that the Tar Heel state’s population will increase by more than 400,000 by 2010. These new North Carolinians will need a place to live!

Cary Ranks 5th Amongst Nation's Growing Cities!

A recent article in Raleigh's News & Observer confirms what we have all thought to be true: Cary is growing, and at a rapid pace! According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Cary, North Carolina is now ranked at #5 on the list of the Nation's fastest growing cities!

Quoted directly from the article, "Those who have moved to Cary recently from other parts of the country say they were drawn by its suburban feel, its affordable housing and its abundance of pristine parks, golf courses and shopping centers."

The diversity of the area also adds to the charming nature of Cary. Su Holshausen was interviewed for the article and states, "You can go to a pub and hear German spoken or see people watching a cricket match," Holshausen said. "You see ladies walking down the sidewalk in saris, straight from India or Pakistan, and all the nationalities seem to meld so happily. ... Whether they grew up in the South or moved here, everyone seems to be adopting the Southern hospitality."

Cary is truly a family oriented place and sure to feel cozy to anyone moving here. Miles from the larger metro areas such as Raleigh and Durham, Cary is nestled in just the right place. You can sit on your porch with a glass of sweet tea or go see a Durham Bulls game under the bright lights of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Cary and the Raleigh/Durham area in general have such a vast array of activities for everyone!

To read more about Cary and it's new ranking, see the full article here.
