Let's talk about the Twin Cities Real Estate Market. I will post helpful links and answer questions about real estate or mortgages. I live and work in Minnesota, so some of my ideas may focus specifically on Minnesota real estate or mortgage regulations applicable to our state.

Mortgage rates are great-Don't wait

Sep. 23, 2007

 

A lot has happened in the past 30 days.  FHA is under going some huge changes.  One of the biggest is a new program called FHA Secure.  It will allow people with ARM's (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) to refinance their loan if they were current with their payments during the ARM period prior to an adjustment.  In addition, the federal reserve just lowered their rate by 1/2 point.  This doesn't necessarily translate into a drop in long term mortgage rates, but will in the short term rates such as lines of credit and other debt instruments tied to the short term lending rate.
