Market Update – New Opportunities

/by
Good Afternoon,

Last week, Mark Jamison, Senior Wealth Director of BNY Mellon in Menlo Park invited me to his office to listen to ACG present on the economy and what they believe will occur over the next 12 months. (To view the actual presentation, click here.)

In the panel, consisting of Senior Analyst from BNY, a VC, a partner from Fenwick and West and an M&A expert spoke. The consensus of the panel and most of the audience (myself included) agreed that q1 thru q3 of this year will most likely show us a recession and the cooling of the market where spending will decrease, stocks could go lower putting pressure on the fed to reduce tightening and start lowering rates. They also believed that the q4 and q1 of next year will be a soft landing with the economy improving as labor stays strong even with the recent layoffs from tech companies.

What Does this Mean to You?

Somewhere between now and next few quarters, values should go lower making it a great time to purchase. If you know someone thinking of selling, they should consider selling now rather than waiting. If you know someone buying, they should get preapproved and start actively looking as no one can time the market and know really when the bottom is. They all agreed that we would not see a repeat of 2008.

We just know that from last year in q3 (ish) to current, home values have been dropping and now were seeing some good opportunities for buyers. This is the main reason, our 2 to 1 Buy Down product makes sense for so many buyers and it provides a much lower payment for the next few years and helps sellers provide buyers an incentive to buy their property over other properties that don’t offer this perk. For more info on this new jumbo program, see my article published Friday.

If you have a client looking to buy, sell and trade down or trade up or look into refi options to pull cashout to buy or invest in the real estate or stock market, please refer them to me. Our rates now are phenomenal and we offer programs many other lenders don’t.

Have a great weekend!

The New Jumbo 2 to 1 Buydown…

/by

I have a new loan product that helps developers sell more property in today’s high-rate market.  It’s called 2 to 1 Jumbo Loan and no retail bank offers it.

The concept of this program works like this… Current jumbo rates are approximately 6%.  The buydown (which is priced a tad higher than current market), allows the borrower or seller (builder or developer) to buy down the rate by 2% year 1 so instead of the borrower paying 6.5%, they pay 4.5% for the first 12 months.  Year 2, the borrower pay’s 5.5%, then year 3, 6.5% for the remainder of the loan but will most likely refi in 1 to 2 years when rates go lower.

The cost of the buy down averages between $35k to $40k and put into an escrow account to cover the buydown over the life of the loan but is usually paid by the developer, builder or seller as a way to incent the buyer to purchase and close on the unit.  In return, they get the following:

  • On the price of $2m at 25% down, the P&I payment on the mortgage of $1.5m at 6.5% would be $9481/month.  At 4.5%, the payment would be $7600/month saving the buyer/borrower $1881/month year 1 for 12 months.
  • Year 2, the payment would be $8517/month saving $964/month over month 13 to month 24.
  • Over 2 years, that’s a saving of $34,140 over 2 years.

Note:  Payment above is P&I only and does not include property taxes and property insurance paid monthly.  Above based on a purchase with borrowers having a 780 mid fico and above.  Apr on 6.5% is 6.879.

This program will help more property be sold and we are the only lender in the US currently offering this program.  Let me know if you’d like to discuss this further.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
