What’s the Best Home Loan for You?

01.05.11 by

There are many different kinds of home loans, each with its own features and advantages. This section describes some of the major types.

Depending on your credit history, your income, how much you need to borrow, and what you plan to use the money for, you may find that you qualify for all of them or only a few of them. Chances are that whatever your circumstances, the experts at Group One Mortgage can help you find the financing you need.

Why talk to a mortgage expert?

The information you’ll find on our website – or anyone else’s website (or brochure or newspaper ad or billboard) – is based on averages. There’s no other way to report it.

But your situation is unique, and your mortgage should be, too. Call Claudine at Group One Mortgage now at 561-745-1205 for a thorough analysis of your circumstances and our recommendations for which home loans will work best for you.

Types of Home Mortgage Loan

Loan Type

Loan Description

Fixed Rate Refinance

Refinancing to a fixed-rate mortgage is a good idea if interest rates are significantly lower now…

Adjustable Rate Refinance

ARMs are attractive to some homeowners because they traditionally have a lower initial interest rate than fixed-rate loans.

FHA Refinance

The Federal Housing Administration offers a number of federally insured mortgage programs to American citizens wanting to purchase or refinance a home.

Cash Out Refinance

Cash-out refinance mortgages involve getting a new, larger mortgage to get extra cash to pay off debt…

No Closing Cost Refinance

No-Closing Cost Refinance loans usually require the borrower to pay less in upfront fees relative to the other refinancing options

DU Refi Plus™

DU Refi Plus™ was designed to reignite the mortgage industry by simplifying the refinance process for millions of Americans

Jumbo Mortgage Loans

Cash-out refinance mortgages involve getting a new, larger mortgage to get extra cash to pay off debt…

Adjustable Rate Mortgage

An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) has an interest rate that is fixed for the first several years of the loan…

Residential Market Report for November 2010 in Martin County, Florida

12.22.10 by

Residential Market Report for November 2010 in Martin County, Florida.

The residential sales report for November showed an increase in the weakness of the real estate market.  Much of this is seasonal, as can be compared to past years’ fluctuations.  Average sales prices have continued their slide, but much of this is due to lower-priced inventory (smaller and older homes) sales and distressed property sales.

Interest rates have started to increase and this may result in at least a short-term increase in home sales, but more negative pressure on prices.
