Reverse Mortgage Myths - Separating Fact from Fiction

RISMEDIA, January 20, 2010—Because so many Americans over the age of 62 are facing significant financial stress due to dropping retirement and savings account balances, as well as higher healthcare costs, many groups are targeting seniors under the guise of helping them,” said Scott Peters, CEO and President of Generation Mortgage. “HECM reverse mortgages are Federal Housing Administration-insured products and are heavily scrutinized by regulators and legislators looking to protect seniors’ best interests. As a result, more than 600,000 American seniors have obtained reverse mortgages that have enriched their lives by allowing them to stay in their homes and pay off their bills.” Continue Reading »

Missed Opportunity When Trying to Time the Real Estate Market

Buyers who wait until “prices come down more” are gamgling that interest rates will hold steady or drop.

Many buyers don’t understand that a 1 percent jump in interest rates on a 30 year loan, nullifies a 10 percent drop in home prices. This relationship between interest rates and home pricing remains essentially the same at any price point.

Drop in Home Price Is Offset by Increase in Interest Rate

Home Price

Starting Price

$200,000

5% Drop

$190,000

10% Drop

$180,000

Interest Rate

Starting Rate

6.0%

.5% Jump

6.5%

1% Jump

7.0%

Payment

$1,199

$1,201

$1,198

Even a slight incrrease in mortgage interest rates can offset a significant drop in home prices. There is little to gain in this scenario and much to lose if home prices rebound or rates jump.

During the trial, banks and mortgage servicers reduced a homeowner’s monthly payment for 90 days, with a median reduction of about $500. If the homeowner made the payments and submitted additional paperwork, the servicer made the modification permanent and became eligible for cash incentives from the government. Continue Reading »
