Housing News that Jensen Beach Homeowners Have Been Waiting For

Housing News that Jensen Beach Homeowners Have Been Waiting For jensen beach fl real estate

For Jensen Beach homeowners, the news was a long time coming. The bounce back from last decade’s dizzying plummet in the nation’s residential housing values has been underway for quite a while now—but those values hadn’t quite returned to their former heights.

Until last month!

The Wall Street Journal was early to break the long-awaited headline, Existing-Home Prices Hit Record: $236,400. Using just-released June sales numbers, the Journal reported that the nation’s average housing prices now topped the previous high water mark set in 2006. It meant that a lot of paper losses have been obliterated—and the return of full nights’ sleep for many U.S. homeowners who have long been underwater.

Another aspect of June’s housing report card could also ease nerves on a wider scale. USA Today led with it: “Existing homes were sold at the fastest pace in eight years…” It quoted the NAR’s Lawrence Yun as pronouncing this year’s spring buying season “the strongest since the economic turndown.”

That’s where the current housing market profile seems to differ in kind from the previous peak of $230,400, registered in July 2006. That mark was reached after sales volume had started to fall. Prices then followed, starting with a slow decline that continued until the spring of 2008, when the slump became a nosedive—unleashing the subprime mortgage crisis. The “bubble” of unsupported high prices had burst.

There was more glad tidings in last week’s news, as well. U.S. home builder confidence levels hit its highest mark in “nearly a decade” (WSJ). A rise in demand for apartment housing caused a jump of 9.8% in housing starts.

But the biggest news was the existing-home price rise, reported as having “rocketed” 35% since 2011, “benefiting current homeowners by giving them an opportunity to trade up to better homes or sell and cash out.” That’s the kind of spur that can stimulate the entire housing market.

With one economist (Andrew Hunter of Capital Economics) quoted as saying “the housing recovery has shifted into a higher gear,” it wasn’t surprising that other analysts were in agreement. “Don’t Laugh” read one headline from international observer Quartz.com; “the U.S. housing market is the best story in the global economy right now.” Reuters agreed about the implications. Their headline: “Strong U.S. housing data boosts dollar.”

Jensen Beach residents don’t have to be global investors to take advantage of this summer’s values. A simple call to my office is all it takes to get things started!

Should I Pay off My Mortgage?

Should I Pay off My Mortgage?

Martin County homeowners may dream of the day they can pay off their mortgage. Financial advisers across the country say they are hearing questions all the time about the wisdom of retiring the mortgage early.

The pros:

  • The obvious reason to do it: Paying off the home loan on your Martin County home could save tens of thousands of dollars in interest during the time you would make payments.
  • The second reason is the peace of mind you have from owning your Florida home free and clear.
  • Most experts recommend owning your home free and clear before you retire.
  • If you still have a higher interest mortgage, paying down your principal will make refinancing easier.
The cons:

  • Some financial needs should come first: Max out your 401(k) contributions. Pay off credit cards. Create a 6-month emergency cash fund.
  • Mortgages are cheap money. When you pay down your mortgage or pay more every month, you are probably hoping for those big dollar savings on interest.  But remember these are future dollars and they will be worth less 20 years from now.  Keep your higher value dollar today and pay the bank its lower value dollar in the future.
  • If you plan to move to another city or trade up or down in the future, it’s not wise to pay off the mortgage. You would tie up your money in a home you might not be able to sell very soon when you want to buy another one.
The mortgage interest tax deduction doesn’t help everyone.  If you are in a high tax bracket, it’s more valuable.  If you are retiring or in a lower tax bracket, it’s not worth as much.Check to see if the investment you could make with the payoff money would earn more interest than what you are presently paying on your home loan.  A 50/50 stock/bond portfolio has historically earned 8.2 percent in the long term, but might only make 6 percent now, according to Money magazine.

Their conclusion:

The Money experts say that if paying off the mortgage would give you great satisfaction and a sense of security, go ahead and do it.

VA Loans can help veterans achieve home ownership!

Florida’s Treasure Coast features dozens of prime locations for veterans to settle down after serving. And there may be no better way to use the VA Home Loan Benefit than to purchase a home along Treasure Coast, in great cities like Stuart and Port St. Lucie, Fla.

Active-duty service members and veterans have exclusive access to the Veterans Affairs Home Loan Guaranty program. Congress enacted the program in 1944 to abet returning World War II veterans in becoming homeowners, and accomplishing a sliver of the American dream.

Military families can use VA loans to buy a new home, refinance an existing home loan, upgrade a home or build on a property. When looking at property on the Treasure Coast, it’s key to remember that the maximum VA loan limit is $417,000. This means qualified service members and veterans can buy a home worth up to that amount at no money down.

Cited by borrowers as the program’s best perk, paying no money down is hard to come by these days. But that’s one of many advantages to the VA home loan program. Another immediate upside is the negotiable interest rate. Since the VA insures up to 25 percent of every VA loan, lenders are willing to lower interest rates. Furthermore, active-duty service members get capped interest rates.

Whether you want a home near Hutchinson Island or one more inland, a VA loan can save money in the long run, too. In addition to competitive interest rates, VA loan borrowers won’t pay private mortgage insurance every month. During the life of a loan, the absence of that monthly cost saves thousands of dollars. Other VA loan benefits include:
-No prepayment penalty
-Rolling a small VA funding fee into monthly payments
-Assistance to borrowers nearing default
-Favorable refinancing options
In addition to VA Loans, a program that can help military personnel afford a quality home is the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). When the government doesn’t provide housing to service members, it pays them BAH based on dependency status, pay grade and duty location. The government determines these payments based on civilians’ cost of living in your area.
BAH counts as reliable income, which helps qualify applicants for VA loans. Any form of reliable income makes for a more favorable debt-to-income ratio, which lenders will check before issuing VA loans.

Those who may be eligible for VA loans often fall into one of three categories:
-Service members who served 90 or 180 days of active duty during war or peacetime, respectively.
-Members of the Reserves or National Guard who served for at least six years.
-Spouses of those who died in the line of duty.
The first step in getting a VA loan is completing a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA or a VA-approved lender. COEs simply confirm that you meet the initial eligibility requirements.
If you’re looking to buy that Treasure Coast home with a breathtaking view, don’t hesitate to apply for a VA loan. The program’s myriad financial benefits make home-buying an enjoyment rather than a stressor.

This post comes to you from James Kelley of VA Benefit Blog. A law school student at the University of Missouri, James Kelley works to educate the public on government financing options for home purchases. He is a co-founder of Military Basebook, a facebook application that helps connect military members based on where and when they served.
