The metro Seattle Jumbo real estate market needs to loosen up

You should contact Dick Todhunter 206-898-3776 as soon as possible to discuss how you can save thousands of dollars on your jumbo purchase mortgage or jumbo refinance.

Adjustable jumbo mortgage increases are making it difficult for many people to afford to stay in their homes, or just refinance your jumbo mortgage to save money.

I have to say…. There is no gimmick to this 5.625% jumbo mortgage offer. It is being offered by a great lender, as are the Lender A, B, C jumbo mortgage products. Information is free.

Jumbo home buyers need to be able to get a mortgage they feel comfortable with and find affordable. Let’s look at an example of how you can truly benefit:

There is a crisis in Jumbo purchase mortgages and Jumbo mortgage refinancing, crisis solved

Here’s the gist of this blog - get a JUMBO mortgage refinancing with an interest rate of less than 6%.

Homeowners with homes worth more than the current Conventional mortgage market limits are having a difficult time:

  1. Selling their real estate
  2. Finding that their home buyer no longer qualify for their mortgage loans
  3. And that kills their real estate home sale
  4. Or the property owner is looking for a mortgage refinance only to find that interest rates are prohibitive, credit scores have increased and loan to value ratios preclude the homeowner refinancing.

Benefits of OUR real estate mortgage Lender of Choice

  3. Low mortgage closing costs, by as much as $23,840- $26,000 (other mortgage lenders cost of adjustments).

As this blog points out, by example, other mortgage lenders simply don’t want your business.

Most mortgage lenders are in a pickle. They would love to make money providing Jumbo mortgage refinancings or purchase money jumbo mortgages. The problem is that there is no market for them to sell jumbo mortgages into. Once they make the jumbo mortgage to you, they have to keep the mortgage on their books and that means they run out of mortgage money real quick. So they price jumbo mortgages high enough to limit applicants and make good money on jumbo mortgages they do make.

Our jumbo mortgage lender does want to provide jumbo mortgage loans. Other mortgage refinancing lenders can’t sell your home mortgage, our mortgage lender has resolved that problem. And that is what you want, isn’t it?

Many of my mortgage clients have conducted their real estate search, found their dream home for sale and been turned down by Conventional lending sources because their mortgage went over the $417,000 Conventional loan limit. Others wanted a cash back mortgage refinance and the cash back mortgage put them over the Conventional loan limit. Mortgage lenders FICO credit scores zoomed up to 700 for anything over $417,001. These mortgage borrowers found that they couldn’t meet that requirement! Well, our lender loans down to 650 FICO credit score!

You know the situation, its in all of the newspapers and on TV.

It is really hard for higher end Seattle real estate and home sales (of course including Bellevue WA, Normandy Park WA, Issaquah WA, Mercer Island WA- wherever these properties live). Let’s describe a “Jumbo” property as one where the mortgage loans exceed $450,000. That is the real estate jumbo mortgage range our lender is best at.

You have our permission, please, to tell your home buying friends about this program, they will THANK YOU!

What do you want to do?

This real estate mortgage product is great for you if:

  1. You want to sell your prestige home but the real estate market precludes buyers from acting. Jumbo purchase money mortgages are hard to come by and mortgage interest rates are close to prohibitive.
  2. You want to sell your real estate and buy a bigger home, one that puts you into the Seattle jumbo home buying market.
  3. You want to buy a second home in the jumbo category.
  4. You have recently tried to sell your home and found that there were no takers; maybe interest rates scared them away! And now your home is off the market. And need to refinance your home! Refinance your home to lessen the burden.
  5. You are looking to put your home on the market and want us to offer your prospects a low mortgage interest rate, which allows them to buy more home, your home! Increase your odds of a sale, call us.
  6. You would just like a lower interest rate on your mortgage, on your primary residence or second home.
  7. Want to get rid of your annual adjustable rate mortgage, constantly going up, putting your home in jeopardy?
  8. Wish that you could make lower monthly payments with an interest only home mortgage?

Jumbo home mortgage quotes below are for those borrowers with a minimum FICO credit score of 650 for employed borrowers and 700 for self-employed borrowers.

Our lender has two jumbo real estate purchase or jumbo home mortgage refinance programs which are virtually unbeatable!

  1. A 5/1 ARM, 80% LTV (our example below, contact us for a quote)
  2. A 7/1 ARM, 80% LTV (contact us for a quote)

A 30 year Jumbo mortgage rate of 5.625% with an APR of 5.753%

A 30 year Jumbo mortgage rate of 5.625% with an APR of 5.753%!

FYI - I have searched high and low. Most lenders are stilll in the area of 7.75%. Had to search high and low to find this interest rate. I don’t know if it means the market is adjusting and this is one of the early adapters or what. That’s a $799 savings each and every month achieved by refinancing a $567,500 Jumbo mortgage! Or, you could purchase an extra $138,760 more home for the same payment!

Is it going to be a trend, or short lived?

Seattle WA home prices are rising again!

Where did I leave off, oh yeah….. 

It had something to do with “Think Local”.  Our Seattle WA and surrounding communities markets never did take off with the same exuberance as did many other markets.  And our landing will not be anywhere near what is happening in many other cities. 

So why are so many would be buyers waiting for prices to drop?

It is really about buying a home, a place to live, the community and schools.  It is about getting on with life.  We have been focusing too much on a home as a piggy bank, rellying too much on price increases to fund our consumer needs.  When is the last time you heard of a mortgage burning party?  Probably the younger buyers are saying “a what?”.  Yes people did really pay off their mortgages and party.

Did you hear, home prices in Seattle WA are beginning to rise!

You may have heard recently that prices dropped a whopping 1.3-1.7%~ last year.  For those of you who held off buying that represents about $6,158 drop in the median Seattle WA home price.  That is a monthly savings of $37, about 10 Starbucks coffee drinks.  About 2.5 coffe drinks per week or almost one movie ticket per week (no popcorn though).  Or about 1.75 gallons of gas per week.  Stop me when this begins to sound like a silly reason to hold out on your home buying dreams. 

And a whole industry held it’s breath with you. 

I have heard that something like 25-30% of real estate agents have dropped out of the business.  That’s actually great for the rest of us and for you.  They say that about 72% of buyers and sellers choose the first agent they come across.  Imagine, you could have had a one in three or four chance of selecting an agent who probably shouldn’t have been in the business anyhow.  Hmmmm….. maybe you will give me a call now!

Here are the most recent numbers:

The median price for a single family home that sold in King County last month was $439,900. That’s down about 3.3 percent from a year ago, but up $10,000 (2.3 percent) from February!  Have we turned a corner?  Are we about to?  February 2007 to February 2008 is down in volume by 35%.  Must be the latee saving people stopped buying real estate.  Oh, come on.  Play with me!

And peak home buying season is hitting the Seattle WA market!

The current market offers great opportunity for homebuyers.  Prices are holding up and there is less competition, at this time.  As spring progresses the market typically picks up and with interest rates at today’s low rates there should be a real rush in the offing.
