Basically, your loan is originated at your favorite Bank in CA, processed in Indiana, and funded/serviced in Florida. When it comes to purchasing a home, having the right ‘service’ can be far more cost effiecient than having the lower rate and terrible service....your rate lock can expire, you may not meet the contingency period or closing date (which is basically being ‘out of contract’), in which you may lose your Earnest Money Deposit (hurts the wallet), and als o lose your ‘dream home’ (hurts your heart). I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to rates and costs, but sometimes I need to tell the client, ‘Let’s get you into your house, on or before the COE (close of escrow date), and when you are done with moving in, re-doing the backyard, or just being there for 12 months, which goes by very quickly, then look up an internet lender and get a ‘no points, no cost’ refinance when you can ‘afford’ the time it may take to close the loan (I have seen 45- 60 days, and a few 90 day closings on the refinancing). You get the lower rate, lower payment, and no cost to you. LOOKING AHEAD, the NAR economist was upbeat: “Sales activity is expected to steadily pick up as more inventory reaches the market, and from ongoing job creation in the economy.” Some of that added inventory could be from sellers coming off the sidelines as home prices continue to recover. The Case-Shiller/ S&P 500 index of home prices in 20 key metros went up 0.8% in February (seasonally-adjusted). This widely followed reading shows prices up 12.9% in the past year. DID YOU KNOW?... Overall private residential construction spending in Q1 was up 16.7% over a year ago. Single-family private construction spending in March was up 13.2% (seasonally adjusted) versus last year. I was looking at these stats, and the way they use the word ‘up’.....for a long time, private residential construction didn’t even seem to ‘exist’. I have a great source for construction loans, so I am glad this type of activity is back! My source does the construction loan, and I come in with the permanent financing after the home is built. Contact me if you’re thinking about building a custom home in Canyon Lake and I’ll share the details of this great construction program.
