When is the right time to Refinance?

When is the right time to refinance your home loan?



Whether you purchased your home last month, or several years ago, it's always a good time to assess your mortgage situation. Your household could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year by being smart when it comes to your mortgage.

Regardless of the market and interest rates, there are a few circumstances under which you should consider refinancing;

1.Your credit has improved. The best rates are always given to those with the best credit. If you had a minor blemish on your report at one time, it may have dropped off or exceeded the time frame under which it is considered in mortgage loan applications. Whatever the reason, if you think your score has improved, you might be surprised at the rate that is now available to you.

2.Your income or debt situation has changed. Maybe you've gotten a raise, or perhaps you've paid off a car or credit card. Either way, a change like this can make you look substantially better in the eyes of the mortgage lender. For instance, if you had a car loan with just a few months left on it, your "Debt to Income" ratio is still calculated based on that monthly payment. Even a small change can take you from one rate category to a much lower one.

3.Your home's value has risen. With rampant declines in home values in recent years, there is a good chance that a sale or two in your neighborhood will drastically change the appraised value of your home. This could change your mortgage situation in two ways; it could change your loan to value and change your rate category and it could even drop a PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) requirement- saving you hundreds of dollars per year. And who needs PMI? Not you- it's for the protection of the bank and yields no benefit to the borrower.

Of course, many homeowners have opted to refinance due to appealing interest rates overall. But be careful not to opt for a rate when the overall picture, including points and fees, is worse than your current mortgage.

Use the Season to your Home-Selling Advantage

Use the Season to Your Home-Selling Advantage


While summer is generally known as the peak season for home sales activity, the winter can also offer great advantages for sellers – such as less competition from other sellers. With a little effort, you can use the season to your home-selling advantage.

Let’s put these ideas to work, so your home shows at its best.

Keep snow and ice at bay. If the buyer can't get in easily, the house won't sell. That means keeping walkways and driveways free of the frozen stuff. You want to make the home look well maintained.

Warm it up. Think warm, cozy, and homey. Before a buyer comes through, adjust the thermostat to a warmer temperature to make it welcoming. If you have a fireplace, turning it on right before the tour can create a more welcoming ambience.

Emphasize winter positives. Is your home on a bus route or some other vital service that means it's plowed or deiced regularly in bad weather? Be sure to mention that to the buyers.

Make it festive. Even if you're not actually going to be present, greet your buyers as if they were going to be guests at a party. Set up the dinner table with the good china and silver. Have a plate of cookies for your guests, some warm cider, or even chilled bottles of water.

Use the season to your advantage. When the holidays are over, you can still use winter wreaths and dried arrangements around the door to spark interest. In the winter, with the leaves off the trees, you might also have a nice view that isn't as apparent in the spring and summer months.

Charlotte NC Housing Market Update

The housing market is recovering.


As more home buyers are taking advantage of the improved affordability conditions. With mortgage rates hovering around recent record lows and home prices having generally stabilized, economists are expecting an upward trend to a healthy and sustainable level in 2011.

Encouraging signs are showing up across the economy.

Retail sales recently hit their highest level since before the recession. Key measures of small and big businesses’ optimism marched back up to prerecession levels and new claims for jobless benefits are trending lower. Together they bode well for steady job creation and improved consumer confidence which is generally manifested in more spending.

As the economy improves, current stimulus efforts by the government and the Federal Reserve Board are expected to gradually wind down. Meanwhile, serious buyers stand to benefit from historically favorable buying conditions.
