Higher Interest Rates Forseen In Late Spring

As the Federal Reserve stops buying mortgage-backed securities it is expected that the interest rates to climb. The Fed committed about 18 months ago to purchase $1.25 trillion in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities, a move intended at keeping liquidity flowing so rates would stay low and Fannie and Freddie would continue buying conforming loans. However, the Fed's commitment ends March 31 and while the full impact won't be known for several months, it's almost certain to cause rates to increase.

This is once again another reason for Homebuyers to take advantage of the historic rates being offered. If you need a referral for a fantastic knowledgable lender call us at 480.861.9142.

Attention Homebuyers! The Time to Act is NOW!

The time to act in now because... over the next 45 days two key government programs that have kept home ownership more affordable than ever are winding down to their already extended deadline dates.

First, the Federal Reserve's Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) purchase program will come to an end on March 31st!! Without this program home loan rates could have been at least 1% higher... and potentially even higher...over the last year.

Second, major item to effect home buying will come on April 30th, which is the deadline for purchasers to get under contract to qualify for the Home Buyer Tax Credit program, which has been providing a tax credit of up to $8,000 to first time homebuyers and up to $6,500 to a repeat home purchaser.

Don't let this be a costly decision to stand on the sidelines. If you are in the market to buy... now is the time to act!
