Scottsdale Mortgage Rates Rise Over Two Consecutive Weeks

by

I mentioned previously that low Scottsdale mortgage rates were expected to rise within the year, and they have begun to do just that. So far, the rise has been gradual, and the opportunity to purchase Troon Scottsdale real estate or scottsdale mortgage ratesrefinance with a low interest rate is still very much available. Scottsdale mortgage rates are still below those seen last year.

According to market survey results from Freddie Mac, mortgage rates have inched upward from their record lows for the second consecutive week as of May 16th. The average fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) rates for both 30-year loans and 15-year loans have climbed in the last week, though marginally. However, as more signs of the recovering market crop up (e.g., falling delinquency rates, greater consumer spending), we can expect mortgage rates to continue their ascent.

The data released by Freddie Mac shows that 30-year FRM rates averaged at 3.51 percent, up from the previous week’s 3.42 percent and the record low of 3.35 percent before that. Rates for 15-year FRMs saw an average of 2.69 percent, compared to the 2.56 percent seen two weeks prior. Treasury-indexed adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) rates have also climbed in recent weeks, with the average 5-year ARM rate rising to 2.62 percent and the average 1-year ARM rate rising to 2.55 percent.

Across Arizona, the number of mortgages that were over 90 days delinquent dropped an annual 30 percent in March. While this is arizona mortgage delinquenciesgenerally a good sign for those interested in purchasing Scottsdale real estate, the drop will lead to a further reduction in the number of foreclosures in the market.

Phoenix and Scottsdale Home Prices Up for 13 Straight Months

by

Phoenix and Scottsdale home prices have been rising for 13 consecutive months. Across the U.S., home prices showed annual gains of 10.5 percent in March, the largest since March of 2006. According to data from scottsdale homes for saleCoreLogic, Arizona had even higher gains. Home prices in the state rose a whopping 16.8 percent from March of last year, and in Phoenix alone, they rose 18.8 percent. Phoenix saw a bigger gain than any other city.

One reason behind the rising prices of Scottsdale homes and Phoenix homes is limited inventory. Homebuyers are beginning to bid more on limited homes for sale. In March, the supply of homes for sale nationwide fell 17 percent from the previous year. Meanwhile, low mortgage rates have boosted the demand for homes, causing prices to soar.

These price gains will help to sustain the market by increasing the number of home sales. Current homeowners will have the confidence to sell their Scottsdale homes and expect a decent price, while buyers will be encouraged to purchase homes before prices climb any higher. Also, as home values increase, so do Americans’ net worth. Consumers are more likely to spend, boosting the economy even further.

Though home prices are steadily rising, it is not too late to find amazing deals on Troon real estate. To schedule a viewing, call me at (602) 791-0536, or email Carmen@TopScottsdaleHomes.com. I would be happy to show you any homes for sale in Scottsdale.

Is it Time to Refinance Your Scottsdale Home Mortgage?

by

The time for you to refinance the mortgage on your Scottsdale home is now. Interest rates are at a record low, which can translate into huge savings for those who take advantage of the opportunity. In recent years,scottsdale home for sale rates have been kept low by the Federal Reserve in order to kick-start the economy; however, these low rates will not last forever. Refinancing the mortgage on your Scottsdale home now may save you tons of money in the future.

Interest rates have a great effect on the amount you pay per month. Refinancing with lower interest rates will thus lower your monthly payments. Though it may not seem like much, even a change of one percent could make a difference of over $100 every month. You could also shorten the loan on your Scottsdale home. Converting to a shorter loan will raise monthly payments on your Scottsdale home slightly, but it will reduce the amount of interest you will have to pay in the long run. Plus, shorter loans have even lower interest rates, so the monthly difference will not be a terrible amount.

Again, interest rates are not going to stay low forever. In fact, they are expected to climb within the year. If you have an adjustable rate mortgage, now would also be a great time to convert to a fixed rate mortgage. This way, when rates gradually rise, your interest rate will not rise with them.

The benefits of refinancing your mortgage now are too great to ignore. Cash in on these low interest rates before it is too late. If you have any questions about Scottsdale real estate trends, feel free to call me at (602) 791-0536 or email Carmen@TopScottsdaleHomes.com.
