Lane County Oregon Mortgage Update - Florence Oregon to Eugene Oregon

Continued concerns about inflation, as well as some pretty irresponsible comments regarding a long list of possible bank closures, has caused investors to leave the bond market; and the downward trend of pricing in that market has moved mortgage rates up substantially in just a few days. Compare the rates below with last Friday's, and you'll see what I mean.

The agency take-over of IndyMac Bank this past weekend was not completely unforeseen. They have been heavily leveraged in the mortgage market for many, many years, and have been the largest player in the residential construction loan market. However, the scare was due to the fact that they were a very large “bank” with depositors who had nothing to do with mortgage losses, or huge credit card write-offs. They were simply panicked about the money they had deposited in their bank accounts. Rightfully so. But remember, FDIC insures regular deposits for up to $100,000, and retirement accounts for up to $250,000. Make sure your bank is insured by the FDIC.

Regarding that FDIC “list” of possible bank failures; here's some numbers from the FDIC: There are approx. 8500 banks in the U.S., of those 8500, 90 are on this list, of those 90, it is expected that 13% will fail. That's about a dozen, or just over one tenth of one percent. Not much out of the norm for any given year.

I need to touch on the issues with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well. It's a much, much bigger deal globally. Since the U.S. mortgage market is intertwined with over 35 countries, and the international banking system, what happens to these two entities is more far reaching than just a change in mortgage rates. The Federal Reserve, the Treasury Dept., and the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), have some tough choices to make, but ultimately the support of Fannie and Freddie will be in the best interest of the world markets, as well as you and I here locally. Oh! And yes, you and I as taxpayers will probably feel it.

On the “good news” side…………… there's nothing to report. J No, I'm just kidding, the number of properties sold in June was up over the previous month and it looks like July will also be up. We're experiencing the usual influx of out-of-towners moving to the area prior to the start of schools in September. This is still considered an outstanding area to raise a family, and as I've been saying for quite a while now, first time home buyers should be getting “shoved” off the fence by your caring, persistence, and knowledge of the local market. Be the “Pro”!

As usual I'll be available, but I may need to wipe the paint off my hands before I answer the phone.

Have a terrific weekend!

The following rates are based on 30 day locks with no discount points, as of this morning. They are not come ons, they are the rates your buyers will most likely get from a reputable lender, regardless of what is advertised. Certainly there are other specialized programs available, depending on the qualifications of the buyer.
