WE DON'T STOP LAUGHING BECAUSE WE GROW OLD, WE GROW OLD BECAUSE WE STOP LAUGHING!

And here is why…… 

I know prices are dropping still (although last month they went up slightly) but is this a good time to buy?  The answer is a resounding YES.  If you bought a $200,000 dollar home (and for the purpose of illustration obtained a $200,000 loan), and that house drops 10% in the next year the math is easy, you just lost $20,000   BUT - and this is a big BUT - if you obtained a loan today for that house at 4.25%, and if that same loan in one year costs 6% then the difference in payment is a lot LESS if you buy the house now.  ($200k @ 4.25% = $984 / $200k @ 6.0% = $1,199) for a difference of $215 every month  Over 30 years that difference is a whopping $77,400!  One thing we have been assured of is that interest rates have to and eventually will be going up as the economy improves.

Frankie, a sweet, playful dog with lots of energy, is about 10 months old. He loves attention and will usually roll onto his back for a belly rub. He learns quickly and wants to please.

Frankie loves the water and will take a nap in the kiddie pool when it’s too hot. Frankie is still young, so he needs lots of attention and exercise. He gets along great with other dogs, ignores cats and even lets chickens eat his food. He loves people of all ages.

Frankie is crate trained, housebroken, neutered, up to date on all medications and micro-chipped.

I never thought we would have another cat in our home again.  After saying goodbye to our black cat Boo, who was 17 years old, I thought that was it for cats.  Until last month....

I spent 2 nights at Kaiser Hospital because I was experiencing very rapid heart beats and I went to the ER.  Its called tacardia and I have been going through this for a year now.  Anyway, I went Friday at about 5:00 because I got light headed also.  They kept me there in the ER for 6 hours.  I told them they better give me some medicine and get me better because Bill and I had tickets to see Paul McCartney Saturday in San Francisco. They would not listen to me and sent me up to the ICU. The nurse said to me, " What is it you want, Paul McCartney or death?"  I said I would die happy but Bill wouldn't go for it. They did calm down the heart rate so I still had to stay.

When Bill left the hospital about 3:00 in the morning, on his way to the car, there was this tiny kitten just meowing and following him.  The poor little thing was starving and all alone.  Bill, if you know him, is a total animal lover and could not ignore this little one.  He took her home and did the best he could to make her safe.  When he came back to the hospital, he broke the news to me that we have a guest. 

Anyway, when I got home the next day, the first thing I did was care for this very tiny baby. She must have been only 4 or 5 weeks old.  She needed a bath to get rid of the fleas and lots of food.  We went shopping and got her a great townhouse to stay in to keep her away from our beloved dogs.  She has now more than doubled her weight and is taking over the house.  The dogs actually like to play with her and I think she really thinks she is a dog.  I swear I heard her trying to bark! 

Well, we ended up naming her Jude (for you know, Hey Jude!) just to remind me of the missed concert.  I think she is a fine addition to our family and I realized that I really missed having a cat around.

A minimum down payment of 3% required for a principle residence.  Like FHA this can be a gift. 

No mortgage insurance required.  The loan is self insured therefore the rate will adjust depending on the down payment. This avoids the borrower having to deal with a separate mortgage insurance company and their guidelines.

No appraisal needed.  This eliminates a $450-500 fee for the borrower.

You do NOT need to be a first time buyer and Investors can purchase with as little as a 10% down payment.  It can also be a second home.

This “home path” financing is not for everyone but all borrowers should look down this path when available.  The Barringer Team will be able to tell you if the home you are looking at qualifies for this program.  Enjoy looking for your new home.

Sincerely,

Alex Alvarez

Mortgage rates dropped to the lowest level in decades for the sixth time in seven weeks, offering the most attractive opportunity for those who qualify to refinance or purchase a home.

Government-controlled mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for 30-year fixed loans this week was 4.49 percent, down from 4.54 percent last week. That's the lowest since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971

The average rate on the 15-year fixed loan dropped to 3.95 percent, down from 4 percent last week and the lowest on record.

Rates have fallen since spring as investors seek the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds. That has lowered the yield on Treasurys. Mortgage rates tend to track those yields.

The last time home loan rates were lower was during the 1950s, when most mortgages lasted just 20 or 25 years.

Low rates have sparked some activity in the weak housing market, but not a massive boom in refinancing.

Applications to refinance loans increased 1.3 percent and those to purchase homes increased 1.5 percent, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Nevertheless, high unemployment, slow job growth and tight credit have made it difficult for many to purchase homes. The housing industry received a boost this spring when the government offered homebuying tax credits, but housing activity has plummeted since they expired in April.

The number of buyers who signed contracts to purchase homes plunged in June to the lowest level on records dating back to 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors.

To calculate the national average, Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates on Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders around the country. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day.

Rates on five-year adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 3.63 percent, down from 3.76 percent a week earlier. Rates on one-year adjustable-rate mortgages fell to an average of 3.55 percent from 3.64 percent.

The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount. The nationwide fee for loans in Freddie Mac's survey averaged 0.7 a point for all loans.

As the number of foreclosures has increased across the country, some renters in good standing have received a nasty surprised - immediate eviction - when the houses, apartments or condos they rented went into foreclosure.

Fortunately, a new federal law helps protect the rights of tenants in properties facing foreclosure, say experts at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 establishes national standards to provide renters sufficient notice when foreclosure happens.

The new national standard provides uniform protection to renters who are vulnerable to sudden eviction. The new law states:

• In all cases, renters will get at least a 90-day notice prior to eviction.
• Renters can stay until their lease runs out except when the new owner will occupy the home as a primary residence, when renters have no lease or when renters have only a month-to-month lease. Even for these three exceptions, the 90-day notice still applies.

The new law applies only to a "bona fide" lease or tenancy. Bona fide means:

• The tenant is not the landlord or a child, spouse or parent of the former owner.
• The lease or tenancy is the product of an "arm's length transaction" with no conflict of interest.
• The rent is not substantially less than the fair market price.
• The rent is sharply reduced because of the government subsidy (tenants in Section 8 subsidized housing have separate protections under this law).

OCC experts advise renters to always be aware of their rights, and protect these rights by making sure they stay in good standing with regard to their rental property.

Some tips on how to prove you are in good standing include:

• Sign a written lease.
• Pay your rent on time and in full.
• Use checks rather than cash to provide a record of payment.
• Pay your rent at the market rate. Paying a lower rent to a friend or family member will cut your costs, but may weaken your legal standing during a foreclosure or legal dispute.
• With all legal matters, the OCC encourages you to consult a lawyer.

The average rate for 30-year fixed loans this week was 4.54 percent, down from 4.56 last week, mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday. That's the lowest since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971.

The last time rates were lower was during the 1950s, when most mortgages lasted just 20 or 25 years.

The rate on the 15-year fixed loan dropped to 4 percent, down from 4.03 percent last week and the lowest on record.

Rates have fallen since the spring. Yields on U.S. Treasury bonds have dropped as jittery investors seek safer investments. Mortgage rates tend to track the yields on Treasurys.

Low rates helped spark a little activity in the weak housing market. Applications to purchase homes rose 2 percent last week from the previous week, the Mortgage Bankers Association said Wednesday. Still, the housing market has been struggling and overall applications for loans were down last week as fewer people applied to refinance.

High unemployment, slow job growth and tight credit have made it difficult for many to purchase homes. The housing industry received a boost this spring when the government offered homebuying tax credits, but since those expired in April housing activity has fizzled.

Sales of previously occupied homes fell 5.1 percent in June. New home sales jumped last month but it was the second weakest month on record and it came after sales tumbled in May.

Refinance activity has increased over the last month as homeowners seek more affordable monthly payments. But many don't qualify for a loan or don't have have the cash to pay for closing costs. And rates have been low for so long that many have already refinanced.

To calculate the national average, Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates on Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders around the country. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day.

Rates on five-year adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 3.76 percent, down from 3.79 percent a week earlier. Rates on one-year-adjustable-rate mortgages fell to an average of 3.64 percent from 3.70 percent.

The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount. The nationwide fee for loans in Freddie Mac's survey averaged 0.7 a point for all loans.

Weak U.S. Economy: Mortgage rates have dipped to record lows in large part because "frankly, the economy is lousy," says Keith Gumbinger of HSH Associates, a publisher of consumer loan information.  The national unemployment rate remains uncomfortably high at 9.5 percent, and Nomura Securities expects forthcoming data to shoe that U.S. economic growth slowed in the second and third quarters.  A weak economy puts downward pressure on mortgage rates in several ways.  "First and foremost, demand for credit is low," Gumbinger says.  As a result, lenders in many cases must reduce rates to attract borrwers.  "Basic supply and demand," Gumbinger says.

At the same time, a sluggish economy works to ease investor concerns over future price appreciation.  "The other part that controls long-term interest rates is inflation expectations," says Brad Hunter, the cheif economist at Metrostudy, a firm that researches the housing industry.  "And I believe that the bond market sees very little inflation in the near term." Zach Pandl, an economist at Nomura Securities, agrees.  "The risk today is of excessively low inflation," Pandl says.  "There is no inflation on the horizon."  As such, Pandl expects the Federal Reserve to hold its benchmark federal funds rate in the current zero to 0.25 percent range for the foreseeable future.

European debt crisis: Developments in the global economy have created additional downward pressure on home loan rates.  When the shaky balance sheets of several European countries spooked financial markets in late spring, investors scurried out of risky assets like stocks and into U.S. Treasury bonds.  As demand increased, yields on 10-year treasuries fell to 3.05 percent for th week ending July 16, down from 3.85 percent three months earlier.  And since fixed mortgage rates tend to track the yields on 10-year treasuries, home loan costs declined significantly as well.

The European debt crisis also juiced demand for another class of assets that has helped bring down mortgage rates.  With stocks looking increasingly risky, investors began searching for safe places to park their money.  "What they really want to do is buy something that is government-guaranteed," says Guy Cecala, the publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance.  "And there really are only two choices: Treasury securities, which have a very low yield, or going for a little higher yield with [Fannie Mae or Freddie mac mortgage backed-securities]."  While many investors purchased U.S. Treasuries, others- tempted by the possibility of slightly higher returns- took the second option.  The subsequent "huge" demand worked to reduce the yields on these mortgage- backed securities, which translated into lower rates on home loans, Cecala says.

Outlook: Although mortgage rates may increase from these record lows by the end of the year, they are likely to remain in an attractive range, Hunter says.  "But I think that probably we will get a modest increase in long-term interest rates by the end of next year," Hunter says.  "By then, the economy will have started creating jobs and [have] started to take up some of the slack capacity in industrial production."  Thirty-year fixed mortgage rates could approach 6 percent by the end of 2011, he says.

Lock or wait?: Could rates move lower from current, ultra-low levels?  Sure.  If the U.S. economy slows sharply or a fresh crisis rattles global confidence, consumers could see financing costs become even cheaper.  But given that rates are now sitting near 40-year lows, you're better off locking in a rate today rather than holding out for a better deal.  "The likelihood of getting a significantly lower interest rate is pretty slim," Gumbinger says.

But that doesn't mean everyone will be able to get their hands on today's lowest financing costs.  After getting hammered by bad loans made during the housing boom, banks have increased their lending standards for borrowers of all stripes.  To obtain today's best rates on a home purchase loan, borrowers will typically need a FICO score of 720 or higher, a down payment of around 10 percent- although it could be significantly higher in certain markets- and fully documented income assets, Gumbinger says.  For the best rates when refinancing your home, you'll generally need a FICO score of 730, at least 20 percent equity in your home, and at least two years of tax returns, Cecala says.

Meet Domino.  Domino is a medium-sized male Labrador retriever mix, about 1 1/2 years old.  He loves playing with other dogs and is gentle with cats and little children. He has good manners and loves to play fetch and tug-of-war.  Domino is yet another victim of home foreclosure.  Adopted from East of Eden when he was 8 weeks old, he was well cared for and loved and grew up with another dog.

East of Eden is a nonprofit animal rescue group.  Volunteers are at Petco, 2888 Grant Line Rd, from noon to 3 pm Saturdays.  For information: 209-815-5186.

Specifically, the FHA is proposing to update the combination of credit and downpayment requirements for new borrwers, reduce seller concessions from 6% to 3% and tighten underwriting standards for manually-underwritten loans.  The changes also seek to reduce the share of the home sales price that sellers are allowed to contribute at the closing table to offset the buyers' costs.  The current share of 6% "expose the FHA to excess risk by potentially driving up the cost of the home beyond its appraised value," the FHA said in a statement today.  The proposed change would reduce seller concessions to 3%, which the FHA said would bring it into conformity with industry standards.  The proposed FHA policy updates also require lenders, during the underwiritng process, to consider compensating factors that are "the best predictive indicators of loan performance"- credit history, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio and cash reserves.
