I'm with Evangeline Scott today to talk about mortgage loans, and Evangeline will be talking today about her Bridge Loan offer.

The Bridge Loan Program
  • A phenomenal option if you have a home to sell and want to use your equity to buy another. It's a bridge between your current home and the next one, hence the name.
  • This makes it unnecessary to move twice or risk paying two mortgages at one time. It's a convenient and affordable loan because there are no payments for 6 months. Contact Evangeline for more details.
Mortgage Rates
  • Mortgage rates will undoubtedly be trending upward, and loans will also become harder to get.
  • Loans will be harder to get because they will be more picky up front. Debt to income ratio limits will be tightened.
  • Both the rise in rates and loans that are harder to get will result in less buyers.
  • Because of the trickle-up effect, home prices will come down as buyers struggle to afford homes. For example, a $375,000 dollar property will likely be cut down to $340K or $350K property.
To combat these changes, Evangeline offers a conventional mortgage with 5% down, and the mortgage insurance has already been bought out! You won't have to pay an extra $150 a month for insurance, so your purchasing power is improved with this conventional loan.

To get a hold of Evangeline call (916) 496-0160.

Hello again, and welcome back to my video blog. I wanted to take a moment to update you on our market here in Folsom and I'll also be making a few predictions as to what we can expect to happen to it.

What are the Current Trends in the Folsom Area

  • Currently, inventory is on the rise. This means that competition is going to get stronger and we will likely see homes staying on the market longer. With such an array of homes to choose from, buyers simply need more time to decide.
  • In my estimation, these trends will continue in 2014. The market will remain competitive, and interest rates will remain at historic lows.
  • The market will cater to both buyers and sellers. Expect multiple offers on homes of exceptional value, which will lead to other properties being overlooked and left on the market longer.
  • However, as much as people would like to buy, an uncertain economy may keep some from purchasing.
  • The good news is that here in Folsom we have as many jobs as we have homes, which is quite a rare phenomenon. Not many locales around here are as insulated from the national economy, so that is something we can look forward to.

If you ever need any help purchasing a home, I'm very easy to get hold of. You can call me at (916) 316-3810 or email me at forth@thehoytgroup.com
