Collingswood, NJ - Real Estate Spotlight  When you think of Collingswood, New Jersey the first thoughts that pop into your mind are not about real estate or mortgages; not about fast-moving, slick-talking wheeling and dealing agents or even about big city real estate speculators whose only concern is the price they can “pick up a piece of property” for and the value at which they can resell it; although the term “value” when pluralized might be a more appropriate term to be found in a conversation pertaining to the Collingswood, NJ community.  This Southern New Jersey township, having been incorporated as as a borough by the New Jersey Legislature on May 22, 1888, is said to be a place where you'll “...find a hip, cultural feel where trendy shopping and dining mix with historical archi... 02/10/2014

The Federal Open Market Committee starts a two-day meeting today, the third of its 8 scheduled meetings this year. The FOMC is a special, 12-person committee within the Federal Reserve. It’s led by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the group is responsible for voting on our nation’s monetary policy. This includes setting the Fed Funds Rate, the rate at which banks borrow money from each other overnight. The general public tends to confuse the Fed Funds Rate for “mortgage rates” but, as shown in the chart at top, the two interest rates are very different. There is no direct correlation between the Fed Funds Rate and everyday mortgage rates in Voorhees. Since 1990, the two benchmark rates have been separated by as much as 5.29 percent, and have been as close as 0.52 percent. Today, the separ... 04/26/2011

A lot of Home Owners today have no idea what exactly is covered under their Home Owners Insurance Policy. Most of the time this is a last minute item that they pay for prior to their loan closing. A major misconception about these policies is that almost every repair that is needed is covered. This could not be any further from the truth. It is extremely important for you to have a full understanding about what EXACTLY is covered under your policy so you will have an idea of if you need to purchase any extra insurance to cover you in case any of these life events happen to you and your home. Repairs can be extremely expensive and can set you and your family back financially if you don’t not have the proper insurance. Below I would like to high light some items that you may believe are ... 04/25/2011

Mortgage markets improved slightly through last week's holiday-shortened trading sessions. Better-than-expected housing data led mortgage rates higher Tuesday and Wednesday, but rates retreated Thursday morning in advance of Good Friday. Markets were closed Thursday afternoon and Friday. They re-open this morning. Conforming mortgage rates in New Jersey ended last week unchanged overall. It's a strange outcome considering that Standard & Poor's issued a downgrade on U.S. debt Monday. In most instances, a debt downgrade would lead investors away from a particular group of securities - in this case, a group that includes mortgage-backed bonds. However, Wall Street reacted in the opposite. When S&P issued its opinion, however, mortgage bonds rallied. Some say this is because the downgrade... 04/25/2011

Home resales rose 4 percent last month, according to the March Existing Home Sales report. A total of 5.1 million homes were sold on an annualized, seasonally-adjusted basis. The strong results re-establish the national, long-term trend toward rising home resales. March marked the 6th month out of eight in which sales volume has increased and sales are up 32 percent from July 2010 lows. Home supply has resumed its downward trajectory, too. At the current pace of sales, the entire home resale inventory would be depleted in 8.4 months. This is 0.1 months faster as compared to February, and a full month faster than the 12-month average. The Existing Home Sales report also included a breakdown by buyer-type. First-time buyers bought 33% of homes, down from 34% in February Repeat buyers bou... 04/21/2011

  Foreclosure activity is much slower this year than last. According to foreclosure-tracking firm RealtyTrac, the number of national foreclosure filings plunged 35 percent in March 2011 as compared to March 2010, a statistic that reflects a more healthy housing market and more robust outlook for 2011. A “Foreclosure filing” is defined as any of the following : a default notice, a scheduled auction, or a bank repossessions. Foreclosures filings were down in all but 8 states last month. Activity remains concentrated, too. More than half of all bank repossessions can be tied to just a handful of states. In March, 6 states accounted for 51% of activity. California : 15% of all repossessions Florida : 9% of all repossessions Arizona : 7% of all repossessions Michigan : 7% of all repossessio... 04/15/2011

After this week ends, the FHA is raising mortgage insurance premiums on its new  borrowers. It's the FHA's third such increase in the last 12 months. Beginning with FHA Case Numbers assigned April 18, 2011, mortgage insurance premiums will be higher by 25 basis points per year, or 0.25%. Against a $200,000 loan size, the MIP increase adds $500 to an FHA-insured borrower's annual cost of homeownership. All new FHA loans are subject to the increase - purchases and refinances. Existing FHA-insured homeowners across New Jersey are unaffected. Premiums do not rise for loans already made. The FHA is increasing its mortgage insurance rates because, as a group, the FHA is insuring a much larger percentage of the U.S. housing market.  In 2006, the FHA held a 4 percent market share. By 2010, tha... 04/13/2011

Home sales data is easing so far in this calendar year. Home resales and new construction have dropped to multi-month lows and, in many cities, home supplies are rising. One housing sector that's not slowing, however, is rentals. The rental market is booming. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the average apartment vacancy rate is 6.6% nationwide, down from 8.0% last year. In addition, the number of occupied apartments rose by more during Q4 2010 than during any comparable period of the last 10 years. It's a major reason why rents are up 2.3%. Some areas, however, fared worse than others. This study of rent increases as published on MSNBC, for example, lists the 10 U.S. cities in which rents increased the most last year. And they may not be the cities you'd expect. In order: Green... 03/23/2011

  Mortgage Myth Busters     Have a mortgage question and keep getting conflicting answers and or information?  I get Trulia alerts for my state and about 70% of the time, there are both loan officers and or realtors answering mortgage questions that have misleading or completely wrong answers. It's not to say that any of us are perfect and or know it all... but I can say one thing, if I am not 100% sure, I seek the answer through the proper channels. Those channels would be my underwriters or the guidelines/manuals for such programs and or mortgage questions. With the mortgage industry changing more than ever before, one really needs to stay on top of this information.     Who are we? Mortgage Myth Busters is a select group of mortgage professionals driven to share pertinent, accurate a... 01/28/2011

  My Lawyer seems to be avoiding me when I ask for my total closing costs…. should I proceed with caution? I am all about transparency and making sure that I provide the correct answers. I know most of us want to be helpful, but can some of our answers be hurtful instead? The question above was just asked on Trulia advice the other day, aka asking questions on Trulia. One answer ruffled my feathers, because unless you know all that you need to know about mortgages, this can be a dangerous question with answers that could backfire on a buyer.  One needs to evaluate and understand who to ask specific questions. . Here are some of the answers given by some realtors :  (I know some of you don't like clicking to another site, but I am trying to promote my main site, The FHA Expert. And you ... 01/24/2011

In a recent survey. 69% of consumers want to decrease their debt. 18% said they wanted to increase their credit score. 7% want to get rid of their credit cards all together. 7% want to increase their savings. These goals can all be achieved over time - if you take a few steps now that can save you the money later. Contact your credit card companies to see if you are getting the best rate, based on your credit score. If not, ask what it takes to get a better interest rate. You'll save a bunch of money by just asking for a lower rate. If you have health insurance or Medicare, get a medical exam as often as your policy will allow. Catch health issues early and it will save you a ton of money that you'd have to pay out of your own pocket- let alone time off of work. Increase your retirement... 01/21/2011

Today's first time home buyers seem to be getting older and older from previous generations. I turned 30 in October and my generation really seems to be settling down later in life. People are getting married later, having children later, and of course, buying their first home later in life. I feel this is happening for several different reasons. To me the cost of going to college has a big role in that. You're reward for graduating college these days can leave you in as much as $100,000.00 in student loan debt depending on how long you went to school for. If you're one of the lucky few to actually get a job in the career that you went to school from, the last thing on your mind is accumulating more debt by taking out a mortgage. Most are forced to move back with their parents until the... 01/13/2011

My goal in today's blog post is to help you get a better understanding of FHA's 203k Loan Program. There are a lot of lenders and agents who are so eager to work with a buyer in today's market but if you do not have the understanding of this program than this can be a very difficult and time consuming process. I will start off with the FHA 203K Streamline Program. This will be your program of choice if your total number of  repairs is under $35,000 and does not involve any kind of structual renovations. This type of 203K will allow the Lender to release up to 35-50% of the funds needed for repairs upfront and the remaining amount when the work is completed. A final inspection is required to certify that the work is truely completed. It is very important to be sure that the total repairs... 01/12/2011
