<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Uncertainty about the pace of the economic recovery pushed mortgage rates down to another record low this week. The economic outlook is for slower than normal economic growth with low inflation, which is favorable for mortgage rates. The risks of a "double dip" recession and deflation also increase demand for relatively safer investments such as mortgage-backed securities (MBS).</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">The consensus economic outlook is for slower than average economic growth for several years. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report released this week was consistent with this view. GDP increased at a 2.4% annual rate during the second quarter of 2010, which was below the long-term average of about 3.0% per year. With a high Unemployment Rate, below normal economic growth is far from ideal for the labor market, but this is what investors expect. If the economy performs much more poorly, however, the consequences could be severe. The Fed's Bullard stated this week that he is worried about the risk of a deflationary period in the US similar to that of Japan, which would be very undesirable for the economy, but which would likely lead to lower mortgage rates. He emphasized that he thinks that the most likely scenario is for continued modest economic growth.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">The best steps to take to stimulate the economy are being highly debated right now. It's not clear whether further monetary stimulus from the Fed would be effective enough to offset the downside effects. As a result, most Fed officials feel that they should not take additional actions unless the economy experiences a major downturn. Given enormous budget deficits, fiscal stimulus (more government spending) is also a highly contested option. The Fed's Fisher pointed to uncertainty about government policies and regulations as a major obstacle for faster growth, but this may not change very quickly. In any case, if the economy follows the expected path for modest economic growth, it may be difficult for the Fed or the government to launch any major new stimulus actions.</div>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 4.0px 0.0px; font: 11.5px Helvetica;">Most of the data still indicates a growing economy, rather than a shrinking one.&nbsp; Both of the previous two recoveries had periods of very slow real GDP growth in their first couple of years.&nbsp; This suggests that the recovery that began in July 2009 will be a &ldquo;jobless recovery&rdquo; with modest job growth, slow declines in unemployment rates, and periods of weak real GDP growth, rather than a double dip recession.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 4.0px 0.0px; font: 11.5px Helvetica;">We saw a sharp, but expected, decline in home sales following the expiration of the tax credit at the end of April. Pending home sales in King County were down 45.3% from April to May 2010.&nbsp; However, modest job improvement, record low mortgage rates, and improving demographics suggest that home sales should rebound in the second half of the year.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 4.0px 0.0px; font: 11.5px Helvetica;">Barring any unforeseen shocks to the economy, home sales should increase at a faster pace in 2011.</p>]]></description><link>http://www.troysrealestate.com/Blog/Single-Serve-or-Double-Dip-Recession</link><guid>http://www.troysrealestate.com/Blog/Single-Serve-or-Double-Dip-Recession</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:07:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Unusually Uncertain</title><description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Rates Remain Low</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">With very little economic news during the short holiday week, mortgage rates remained at the lowest levels in decades. While mortgage rates ended the week slightly lower, the level of volatility in mortgage markets and other financial markets was relatively high. Even without major news, sudden movements in rates were common during the week. The stock market displayed similar price swings, as the Dow recovered the roughly 400 points it lost the prior week. This volatility in financial markets reflects the high level of investor uncertainty about the pace of global economic growth.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">The current low mortgage rates can be attributed to a couple of factors. One is that inflation is under control and is expected to remain low for quite a while. Another is that demand for mortgage-backed securities (MBS) is high. When packaged and sold as government guaranteed MBS, mortgages are viewed as safe investments, much like US Treasury securities, and safety has been important to investors in these uncertain times. With financial regulatory reform behind them, Congress is now beginning to consider the appropriate role for the government in the housing market. Central issues include government guarantees for mortgages and the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The debate is expected to be long and difficult, with no easy answers.</div>

<p>Rates Remain Low</p>
<p>With very little economic news during the short holiday week, mortgage rates remained at the lowest levels in decades. While mortgage rates ended the week slightly lower, the level of volatility in mortgage markets and other financial markets was relatively high. Even without major news, sudden movements in rates were common during the week. The stock market displayed similar price swings, as the Dow recovered the roughly 400 points it lost the prior week. This volatility in financial markets reflects the high level of investor uncertainty about the pace of global economic growth.The current low mortgage rates can be attributed to a couple of factors. One is that inflation is under control and is expected to remain low for quite a while. Another is that demand for mortgage-backed securities (MBS) is high. When packaged and sold as government guaranteed MBS, mortgages are viewed as safe investments, much like US Treasury securities, and safety has been important to investors in these uncertain times. With financial regulatory reform behind them, Congress is now beginning to consider the appropriate role for the government in the housing market. Central issues include government guarantees for mortgages and the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The debate is expected to be long and difficult, with no easy answers.<br /><br /><br />Also Notable:Weekly Jobless Claims dropped to the lowest level in two monthsAs expected, the European Central Bank (ECB) made no change in ratesThe Treasury will auction $69 billion in 3-yr, 10-yr, and 30-yr securities next weekThe Fed's Fisher suggested that the main economic challenge is building confidence<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Average 30 yr fixed rate:Last week:-0.05%<br />This week:-0.02%<br />Stocks (weekly):Dow:10,100+400NASDAQ:2,175+75<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;Week AheadThe most significant economic data next week will be the monthly inflation reports.

Its a great property, but needs work so not just any buyer can come along and buy or finance it. The buyer needs to have a substantial down payment or qualify for an FHA 203k rehab loan. This of course narrows the qualified buyers thus typically makes the property worth less and harder to sell. The latest buyer put a good reasonable offer in. Not a "low-ball" offer in today's market.

<p>&nbsp;<br /><strong>Weak Economic Growth Helps Mortgage Rates</strong></p>
<p>After dropping to the lowest level in decades last week, mortgage rates fell even further this week. Weak economic data from the US, Europe, and China caused investors to question the pace of the global economic recovery. Slower economic growth was positive for mortgage rates and negative for the stock market.</p>
<p>Friday's important Employment report reflected a slowly improving labor market. The economy lost -125K jobs in June, which was very close to expectations. The figures include a loss of -225K census workers who completed their temporary assignments. The private sector added 83K jobs. The Unemployment Rate fell to 9.5% from 9.7% in May, but this was due to 650K people leaving the labor force. The labor force consists of everyone in the US who either has a job or is looking for one, and the Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the labor force without jobs.</p>
<p>There was mixed news in the housing sector this week. May Pending Home Sales declined 30% from April, as many buyers rushed to sign contracts ahead of the April 30 deadline to qualify for the home buyer tax credit. On a more positive note, the "close-by" deadline for the home buyer tax credit has been extended to September 30. Although the tax credit is not available for new contracts signed after April 30, extremely low mortgage rates and high home affordability levels make conditions very favorable for home purchases.</p>

These are the lowest rates I have EVER seen. If you currently have a mortgage and the rate is above 5.375% then you should look at how a refinance would help your cash flow. I work with great mortgage people who can "what if" for you with no obligation.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; display: block; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">If your in the market to buy, then affordability is better than ever now! Some of my listings are below, and I also have access to thousands more.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; display: block; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">If you say "who cares Troy!" and don't have a mortgage or don't want to buy a home, then think about someone you may know and pass this along to them. They may not be aware that rates are so low or that affordability is at an all time high.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; display: block; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">As always, thank you and I look forward to speaking with you soon!</p>

<p>&nbsp;<br /><strong>Lowest Mortgage Rates in Decades</strong></p>
<p>Mortgage rates dropped to the lowest level in decades this week, and home affordability is very favorable. Uncertainty about the extent of global economic growth and continued low inflation levels have helped mortgage rates reach these levels.</p>
<p>After months of debate, Congress reached agreement on the Financial Reform bill, and it is expected to pass next week. The bill includes many provisions which will affect mortgage lending and the home buying process, but the impact will not be fully known for some time as many of its changes are subject to regulatory discretion. Separately, the larger bill containing an extension to the home buyer tax credit "close-by" deadline failed to pass this week. Lawmakers will continue to debate the bill, but it appears unlikely that the "close-by" deadline will be changed before the current June 30 deadline is reached.</p>
<p>The performance difference in this week's two housing reports was stark, but it was mostly due to measurement methods. May Existing Home Sales fell 2% from April, and were up 19% from one year ago. May New Home Sales dropped 33% from April, which was about 13% lower than one year ago, and a record low level. There's an important difference between the two reports, though. Existing Home Sales measure transaction closings, while New Home Sales are based on contract signings. The April 30 contract signing deadline to receive the home buyer tax credit pulled many contract signings forward into April, and some of these deals closed in May. As a result, Existing Home Sales were still boosted by the tax credit in May, while New Home Sales were not.</p>

<p><br /><strong>Mortgage Market Update</strong></p>
<p>It is still definitely the most opportune time to buy. With Low housing Prices and Low Low rates this week was especially good to those who decided to purchase a home. Economic data moved mortgage rates this week. Slower than expected economic growth data and tame inflation figures were favorable for mortgage markets. As a result, mortgage rates ended the week lower.</p>
<p>Will the "close by" deadline to receive the Home Buyer Tax Credit be extended? The answer to this question is not known as of this Friday morning. The Senate has approved an amendment to a larger bill to do so, but the larger bill is still being debated and its passage is not certain. Extending the "close by" deadline will benefit qualifying home buyers who are not able to close by June 30, the original deadline. Extending the deadline sooner rather than later would help relieve some anxiety. Right now, people in all phases of the home buying process are working very long hours to close an unusually large number of purchases before the end of the month. lower.</p>

But with the current subprime debacle and increasing mortgage delinquencies, many people are wondering if the short sale process is a way to avoid foreclosure.</p>
<p>Basically, the definition of the short sale process is when the lender of a property allows the property to be sold for less than the amount due on the mortgage loan.</p>
<p>The obvious benefit to the short sale process is that it allows the seller to avoid the credit report damage associated with a foreclosure. A foreclosure can stay on your credit report for up to 10 years and can take an emotional and financial toll on you and your family.</p>
<p>But the pitfalls of the short sale process should be considered as well. The I.R.S. may consider any debt forgiveness as taxable income, thus resulting in a tax liability. In addition, lenders can often pursue a borrower for the deficiency balance (the difference between the amount owed and the amount paid).</p>
<p>In some cases you may be able to avoid taxation if you can prove you are insolvent. But if insolvency is unsuccessful, and you are faced with a tax liability resulting from the deficiency amount, it may make more financial sense for you to let the lender foreclose.</p>
<p><strong>The Short Sale Process</strong></p>
<p>The short sale process can vary, but it will generally work as follows:</p>
<p>1) The lender is contacted to discuss the possibility of a short sale and to determine the lender's process for completing the sale.</p>
<p>2) The seller issues a letter authorizing the release of personal information about the loan and the property to the buyer or escrow agency.</p>
<p>3) The lender will review a settlement statement, which will indicate the proposed selling price, remaining loan balances and itemize all expenses, including real estate commissions and other fees and expenses associated with the closing.</p>
<p>4) The seller will complete a "hardship letter," which will detail and explain all financial difficulties. Lenders will usually want to validate the seller's financial situation by looking at bank statements, investment accounts, along with examining paystubs and other financial records.</p>
<p>5) The lender will then look to the broker to provide a price opinion by examining the condition of the house and the market value of comparable properties.</p>
<p>6) The lender will then want to scrutinize the purchase agreement to determine if all amounts are reasonable and the real estate commission is acceptable.</p>
<p>Because of the documentation required, the short sale process can be lengthy. But if done correctly, it can work well for all parties involved. The lender avoids the uncertainty of the foreclosure process, the seller avoids a foreclosure on his or her credit report (along with potential bankruptcy), and the buyer hopefully got a good deal on a property.</p>
<p>Considering the complexity of the short sale process, you must be educated. If you are considering a short sale, make sure that you discuss your situation with a competent lawyer and accountant. The more educated you are on the process, the easier the transaction will be, and the better the impression you will make on the lender.</p>

It has been extended if you were currently under contract before April 30th, 2010. This will help short sale buyers and potentially some new construction buyers as well.</p>
<p>By ANDREW TAYLOR (AP) 19 hours ago WASHINGTON</p>
<p>&nbsp;The Senate on Wednesday approved a plan to give homebuyers an extra three months to finish qualifying for federal tax incentives that boosted home sales this spring. The move by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would give buyers until September 30 to complete their purchases and qualify for tax credits of up to $8,000. Under the current terms, buyers had until April 30 to get a signed sales contract and until June 30 to complete the sale. The proposal, approved by a 60-37 vote, would only allow people who already have signed contracts to finish at the later date. About 180,000 homebuyers who already signed purchase agreements would otherwise miss the deadline. Reid, D-Nev., added the proposal to a bill extending jobless benefits through the end of November. Nevada has the nation's highest foreclosure rate, and Reid is facing a tough re-election campaign. The Realtors group has been pushing hard in Congress for the extension. Mortgage lenders, the trade group says, have been swamped with borrowers trying to get approved by the end of the month. Many potential borrowers are unlikely to make the deadline. "If Congress fails to act promptly, then prospective homebuyers might not get the benefit of the homebuyer tax credit, even though they have completed contracts," the Realtors said a a letter to lawmakers. First-time buyers were eligible for a tax credit of up to $8,000. Current owners who bought and moved into another home could qualify for a credit of up to $6,500. The $140 million cost of the measure would be financed by denying businesses the ability to deduct from their taxes punitive damages paid when losing lawsuits or judgments.</p>
