Are You Wasting $471 Per Month On Your Mortgage?

According to Freddie Mac’s weekly mortgage rate survey, for 13 straight weeks, the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage has held below 4.000% for mortgage applicants willing to pay up to 0.8 discount points plus a full set of closing costs.

These are the lowest mortgage rates in history and now — with a bevy of loan programs for the nation’s 11 million “underwater homeowners” including HARP, the FHA Streamline Refinance, and the VA IRRRL — millions of U.S. homeowners can exploit the current mortgage rate environment.

In this 4-minute clip from NBC’s The Today Show, you’ll learn about today’s mortgage market and your refinancing opportunities in California.

The video begins by telling us that 14 million credit-worthy Americans have yet to refinance their respective mortgages, and are leaving an average of $471 in “wasted savings” on the table each month which adds up to more than $5,600 annually.

That’s a big number.

Some of the video’s other key points include :

Furthermore, the video reveals the characteristics of the homeowner type most likely to benefit from a refinance. These traits include having with 20% equity in the home; have plans to live in the home for at least the next 36 months; carrying a current mortgage rate of 5 percent or higher.

It should also be added that, with a zero-closing-cost or low-closing-cost mortgage, even a small reduction in your mortgage rate can make a refinance worthwhile.

Mortgage rates are low but can’t stay low forever. If you haven’t participated in the Refi Boom, talk with a loan officer from our preferred lender; Samuel Scott Financial Group and review your mortgage options. You may be able to save hundreds of dollars per month with just modest closing costs. Here is a link to Samuel Scott and their fine team of mortgage professionals. www.samuelscottfg.com

Exciting New Lunch and Learn Program Serves Up Relocation Education for San Diego Businesses

Dee Emerson, Director of Relocation Mobility Solutions for Real Living Lifestyles Real Estate, has launched an exciting new “Lunch and Learn” program – with educational classes held on site at local San Diego businesses.  These sessions will offer information to help facilitate an employee’s real estate wants and needs.  Guest speakers will include representatives from escrow, title, lending, CPA and legal.

According to Emerson, “We developed this program to become more closely involved with our partners. By bringing these educational sessions directly to the business, we show how our Premier Service enables a smooth real estate transaction for both the employer and employee.”  As Real Estate has so many aspects to it and can be confusing, Dee believes that by sharing her vast industry knowledge and experience it can help remove some of the stigmas about buying a home.
