August? Slow? No.

At the Bishop Realtor Group, we seek to break the mold. This month alone, we have sold a property every day. With school starting, vacations ending, and the HEAT, August tends to be one of the slower months. The hard works of our team has not allowed this to be the case, and we look to get over 30 properties in contract this month. If you have interest in selling, click www.TexomaHomeValue.com.

Should I Refinance?

Interest Rates (IR) are historically low. BUT, this doesn't necessarily mean you should Refinance.


To determine if you should REFI, you want to establish your BreakEven (BE) -- how many years it will take to re-coup the cost of your refinance through lower interest payments.


If you anticipate selling prior to BE (even if IR were at 1%), it doesn't always make financial sense to refinance your loan.


But, if you plan on owning your home beyond BE, taking advantage of today's historically low IR is likely a prudent decision. Rates today are hovering around 4.25% (4.34% APR) for a 30-year fixed and 3.75% (3.875% APR) for a 15-year fixed.


Contact us today to learn your BreakEven and to determine if now is a good time to refinance your current loan in order to take advantage of these interest rates if you are not in the market to buy.

With local lenders today.

FIND YOUR NEXT HOME HERE!

This is close to $100,000 in interest savings from where rates were 2 years ago.

When you stop and consider how inexpensive mortgages have become, it comes as no surprise to see more investors entering the rental market, just to take advantage of this incredible financing that's available for a 30 year loan.

We encourage our clients to take advantage of these rates while they're here, because they won't be around for long.

Right now, they can save A LOT! For instance, let’s say that a buyer takes out a $200,000 home loan at a rate of 4.75 percent. Their monthly repayment will be about $1,042 a month for the principle and interest, which is more than $200 less per month than borrowers are paying on a 6.5 percent loan taken out just a few years ago. Over the course of the mortgage term, today’s home buyer will save $80,000! That's 8 times more than the home buyers tax credit.

If we can help you today, please give us a call. And remember our site for home buyers @ www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com.

2 Real Estate Issues Resolved - Flood Insurance and Tax Credit

Last night, the Senate passed the National Flood Insurance Program Extension Act of 2010 (H.R. 5569), an extension of the National Flood Insurance Program until September 30, 2010. This will allow transactions to move forward. The bill is retroactive and covers the lapse period from June 1, 2010, to the date of enactment of the extension. NAR members sent more than 250,000 letters to Members of Congress encouraging them to extend the program.
 
Additionally, Congress passed an extension of the closing deadline for the Homebuyer Tax Credit, the Homebuyer Assistance and Improvement Act (H.R. 5623). The extension applies only to transactions that have ratified contracts in place as of April 30, 2010, that have not yet closed. The legislation is designed to create a seamless extension; the new closing deadline for eligible transactions is now September 30, 2010. There will be no gap between June 30 and the date the President signs the bill into law. Extending the tax credit closing deadline will help provide additional stability to real estate markets across the nation.

Our Government Affairs team worked closely with Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to enact this important legislation.

NAR is still working on restoring the 502 single-family rural housing loan guarantee program. Language is included in H.R. 4899, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill, that is currently in conference between the House and Senate.  We expect the House to pass that bill shortly and are hopeful the Senate will do the same when they return the week of July 12. When that bill passes, the program will be restored through the end of the fiscal year.

For additional information on the tax credit extension, the flood insurance program and rural housing, please visit www.realtor.org/government_affairs 
 
We appreciate your commitment and involvement on these important REALTOR® Party issues and appreciate your continued support.
 
Sincerely,
NAR Government Affairs and Community & Political Affairs Divisions
