9/3/2010 Updated Incline Village Real Estate Economic Summary

“While recent data suggest a weakening outlook for U.S. growth, we still see a strong case for accelerating growth in 2011. Momentum should build over the remainder of 2010 as businesses respond to easier credit and rising profits. Profits are up 39% over the past year, the largest four-quarter rise since the mid-1970s. Financial firms led the initial move up in 2009, but gains this year have been concentrated among nonfinancials, which tend to have a bigger influence on business spending.” [Aaron Smith, Moody’s Economy.com]

 As I was preparing this week's national economic commentary, I began to feel the weight of the bad economic data on my chest. I have felt it necessary to deal with that bad news, of course, and to do so in such a way that my clients and readers don't think I'm trying to paint a happy face on seriously bad news. The existing home sales and new home sales reports were, of course, something of a disaster. Their severity can be explained in part by the confusing workings of the homebuyer tax credit programs' demise, but those programs skewed the numbers of sales beyond understanding--so they don't offer up a clear explanation of where we are right now.

I have written several times about the odd fact that very few businesses seem to be hard-pressed for money. If they were, there would be demand for lending, and it would be very difficult to keep rates as low as they are. Similarly, lenders have been rather comfortable in their "carry trades," borrowing short-term and low, and then investing the money in securities rather than in loans with even a little bit of risk. Sounds like a formula for going nowhere fast, and that is what it has been--and may continue to be for several more months. But as people see that there is more money to be made--including people who want to earn more money with which to pay down existing debt--the markets will come more alive.

This is not a foolproof prediction, of course. One of the specialties of this year's economy has been SURPRISE. But we've reached the point where recovery itself would be such a surprise that it would take us a long time to recognize it. Further, it's probably not going to look the way we expect recovery to look. It hasn't thus far.

In any case, we can hope--and we have reason to do so. We've seen recovery in the luxury home market, in certain areas like Inclin Village Nevada and the San Francisco Bay, in formerly comatose markets like Stockton (once the foreclosure capital of the nation), and rising median prices throughout California. Other states are likely to follow this lead--gradually...as California itself moves forward--gradually.

Weekly Commentary

For the past year or more, there has been a nagging question that those offering up negative forecasts have failed to answer: How can the economy be on the edge of another swan dive into recession if most American companies have an unusually large amount of cash stowed in their bank accounts?

 

There’s a fairly obvious related question, though: Why aren’t American companies busily hiring up new workers when they have plenty of money with which to do so?

 

The answer to the second question, as we’ve recently seen, is that no one wants to lose money; therefore, until such time as demand for their goods and services looks like it will continue to grow in the future (and not sputter like a wickless candle, as it has seemed ready to do recently), companies can simply hold back on further hiring, comfortable enough because there is plenty of money in their coffers. And most companies have artfully met momentary increases in demand with their existing employees, sometimes abetted by the hiring of temporary workers.

 

But back to the first question: The inactivity in the markets—including the real estate market—has looked very much like a downward slide. Perhaps, instead, the economy has simply been stuck in the mud, like a bunch of little children standing at the edge of the lake waiting for someone to be the first to actually step into the water.

 

So instead of going proactive, hiring new workers, making new loans, and pushing the economy into second gear at last, everyone has been waiting. Notice, by the way, that it’s much easier and safer in an uncertain economy to borrow money at rock bottom short terms rates and then invest that money for a secure higher yield than it is to wade into the slightly riskier waters of loaning that money. That will very likely change relatively soon; banks need better yields than the “carry trade” now provides.

 

With an increasing ability to borrow at favorable terms, and with money already in the banks, businesses are in a position to grow—to hire, to invest, to market themselves aggressively. Before too many months pass, this should be far more obvious to the entire American marketplace, including the real estate marketplace.

Good, only one new NOD this week.  Been shifting my clients into motivated sellers that are not upside-down on their mortgage.  Seems that more of the NOD activity has been due to homeowners over-encumbering their home with debit vs the decline of value in Incline Village and Lake Tahoe.   Some of the loan amounts of these problem sales are pretty incredible.  The property was most likely never worth what they borrowed to begin with.  There are just some great listings on the market right now without the hassle of a short sale and even the uncertainty of a short sale escrow ever closing.  Call me for more information.  Tim Lampe, your Realtor for 28 years.

8/25/2010 Incline Village Real Estate Economic Update

The markets are somewhat becalmed. We had a bit more than a week of gloom among world investors and it, perhaps unsurprisingly, seems to be passing. So long as we don't run across a surprisingly negative economic indicator soon, the markets are likely to drift further, with interest rates remaining quite low.

This is generally unexciting news. It feels like the predicted "summer doldrums." More exciting, frankly, is the unbending light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel forecast still being issued by Michael Zoller and Moody's Economy.com. This continues to be worthy of notice.  (Quote is at the bottom of this post)

So maybe it's time for a late summer vacation and an early start to personal marketing for the rising market as we move into 2011. I can live with that.

Weekly Commentary

 

“By 2011, it is expected that the national economy will have reached a point of self-sustaining growth, which will foster a stronger rebound. An end to house price declines in early 2011 will eliminate the final constraint on housing demand, and existing-home sales will take off.” [Michael Zoller, Moody’s Economy.com]

 

Zoller’s (Moody’s Economy.com) forecast has not changed for several months and, indeed, it has had little reason to do so. Moody’s/Zoller predicted the current slowdown well before it arrived, cautioned against getting overly gloomy about it, and suggested the economy (and, in particular, the real estate market) would remain slow into 2011. Then, the economy becomes “self-sustaining” and “existing-home sales will take off.”

 

The summary statement is simple: Be patient. Easy for Zoller to say, perhaps, but tough to put into practice!

 

In any case, in the midst of today’s prevailing gloom, it seems a good time to look at what some of our indicators are telling us about current investor sentiment. Let’s take it from the top of the list.

 

Gold. You’ve most likely noticed that gold, over the past couple of weeks, has moved back above $1220 an ounce. This remarkably high price for a relatively small amount of metal has been achieved because gold is considered, especially by investors in very traditional markets like the Far East, the safest  and most widely accepted form in which to hold your wealth. Gold is the wealth preserver, for most investors. And when they become worried about the security of a currency—the dollar, yen or euro, for example—they tend to rush to gold, and the resulting increased demand for gold pushes up the price of the metal, which is precisely what has been happening recently.

 

It’s worth noting, too, that investors have been putting their money into Treasury securities, which are considered the safest interest-bearing investment, since they are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Treasury. A little more worrisome has been the shifting value of the U.S. dollar, especially against the euro. If global investors lose confidence in the U.S. economic recovery while retaining confidence in the European Union’s ability to ward off debt problems, the euro’s value will rise against the dollar—even if Treasury securities remain strong–as has recently been the case.

 

8/25/2010 FHA Relaxes Lenading Rules

FHA RELAXES LENDING GUIDELINES

Tim Lampe, Incline Village, Nevda Realtor  

There seems to be some confusion among many agents (and loan officers) about the maximum debt ratios that FHA is approving.   Currently most investors are still imposing hard "Debt To Income" (DTI) ceilings on FHA borrowers, that were in place 2 years ago (when the market was a mess) and have fallen into a "comfort zone" for underwriting loans.: 45% as the recommended max DTI, with the absolute "drop dead" being 50%.
Because FHA does not impose a "hard ceiling" for debt ratios this is now rapidly changing.
  Now new investors are aggressively entering the market place and competing for a bigger a share of the FHA pie.

These new investors are basing their approvals up to 55% DTI. If FHA agrees to buy the loan there is no risk to the investor. The loan is insured by a hefty PMI (aka" MIP") upfront premium of 2.25% and a monthly premium of .55%.
It takes just 30 minutes to determine if FHA will approve your buyer by analyzing the borrower's information thru FHA's "DU" ("desktop underwriting") program.
If the loan is approved, the borrower can buy the home....and you earn your commission!
Here (in order) are the factors FHA considers when "expanding the debt ratios" in a typical transaction:

1) Down Payment: Typically borrowers get in for the minimum 3.5 % down payment. If your borrower is putting down 10% (or more), you are well on your way to a commission check.

2) Liquid Reserves: A borrower may put down only 3.5% but if they have liquid reserves (401k, IRA, savings, etc.) the investor looks very favorably upon that borrower.

3) Credit History: If your borrower has over a 720 (median) FICO score, FHA sees the file VERY favorably (the average FHA borrower has a 660 median FICO score).

4) Length of time on a job and source of borrower's income: For example if your borrower has bonus / overtime/ commissions or a second job, there must be a two year history. If any of these incomes are in "decline" your borrower is in trouble.

Once a borrower's information is "analyzed " thru underwriting program, the results come back as one of the following:

a) Accepted/Eligible
b) Refer Eligible
c) Approved Ineligible
d) Refer Ineligible (i.e. Declined)

A1: The status: "Accepted/Eligible" is obvious. "Pass Go" and collect your commission check.

A 2: The status: "Refer/Eligible" is a little more nuanced. This is where the experience of your loan officer and the relationship with the borrower is critical.

For all practical purposes, "refer" means referred to the underwriter (U/Ws) who, based on vast their experience, makes a judgment call if the borrower is able to maintain the loan payments. In other words "underwriters" are the "Gatekeepers of your Commissions" and should be treated that way.  
When dealing with U/Ws the loan officer must be patient and thorough BEFORE submitting the package to the investor.
  The more issues left unaddressed (credit/debt/income) before the file is submitted will increase the chance the loan is declined.   Like parents, it's always easier to say "no" than "yes".
A3
: Approved/ Ineligible: This means your borrower is VERY marginal and does not fit into the program that they were submitted into.   Most commonly the borrower's debt ratios are too high for a fixed rate loan and needs to be resubmitted to a lower adjustable rate program.   Or perhaps the borrower needs to pay off debts or have a larger down payment. In any case, the deal may be salvageable.

A4: Refer/Ineligible: The deal is dead. In fact the application should never have been originated. The loan agent has just wasted your time, soured your client's confidence in you and cost you referrals.

Fed Issues New Mortgage Disclosure and Compensation Rules

The U.S. Federal Reserve on Monday published a long list of new rules intended to protect consumers from what the central bank describes as “unfair, abusive, or deceptive lending practices.” The documents outline new requirements that will govern compensation to mortgage professionals and disclosures to borrowers regarding their home loans.

The Fed announced final rules prohibiting mortgage brokers and lenders’ mortgage loan officers from receiving compensation based on the interest rate or other loan terms – the practice commonly referred to as yield spread premiums, in which brokers and loan officers receive a bigger kick-back for steering borrowers to accept a higher interest rate than that required by the lender.

This controversial pay structure has been widely blamed for pushing unwitting consumers into high-cost, unsustainable mortgages.

“[The new rule] will prevent loan originators from increasing their own compensation by raising the consumers’ loan costs, such as by increasing the interest rate or points,” the Fed said in a statement. “Loan originators can continue to receive compensation that is based on a percentage of the loan amount, which is a common practice.”

The final rule also prohibits a loan originator that receives compensation directly from the consumer from also receiving compensation from the lender or another party. It addition, it makes it illegal for loan originators to direct a consumer to accept a mortgage loan that is not in the consumer’s interest in order to increase the originator’s compensation.

These final rules on mortgage broker and loan officer compensation become effective April 1, 2011.

In addition, an interim rule has been published that revises the disclosure requirements for closed-end mortgage loans under Regulation Z-Truth in Lending Act

(TILA). Beginning January 30, 2011, lenders would be required to fully explain to borrowers any increases in their mortgage payments that might occur as a result of variable rates.

Lenders would have to provide borrowers with a payment table that includes the maximum interest rate and payment that can occur during the first five years and a “worst case” example showing the maximum rate and payment possible over the life of the loan. The new rule also requires lenders to disclose certain features, such as balloon payments, or options to make only minimum payments that will cause loan amounts to increase.

The Fed is soliciting comment on the interim TILA changes for 60 days, before considering the adoption of a permanent rule.

One TILA rule change that the Federal Reserve made final on Monday is that consumers must be notified in writing within 30 days if their mortgage loan is sold or transferred. The mandatory compliance date for this rule is January 1, 2011.

The regulator has also proposed another set of consumer protections related to TILA’s Reg Z. The latest proposal would mandate that for all mortgage loans, consumers have time to review their loan cost disclosures before they become obligated for fees, requiring lenders to refund the fees if the consumer decides to withdraw the application within three days of receiving the disclosures.

In addition, it would ensure consumers receive new disclosures when the parties agree to modify key terms of an existing closed-end mortgage loan, and when a consumer requests information from their loan servicer about the owner of the loan, the servicer must provide the information within 10 business days.

Concerning reverse mortgages, the new consumer protection proposal would improve the disclosures consumers receive, impose rules for reverse mortgage advertising, and prohibit creditors from conditioning a reverse mortgage on the consumer’s purchase of another product, such as annuities or long-term care insurance. It would also require that a consumer receive counseling about reverse mortgages before a creditor can impose nonrefundable fees or close the loan.

The Fed has also proposed a rule to revise the escrow account requirements for higher-priced, first-lien jumbo mortgages. The proposed rule implements a provision of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and would increase the annual percentage rate (APR) threshold that mandates such accounts from the current limit of 1.5 percentage points to 2.5 percentage points.
