Eastern Connecticut Mortgage Monday

By guest blogger Phil Turner of McCue Mortgage

What a great opportunity exists for
Eastern Connecticut Homebuyers.

Rates continue to stay down.  Conventional rates are in the high 4's - low 5's for 30 Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans.  CHFA (Connecticut Housing Finance Authority) offers their 30 Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans at 4.625% with 1 point and in some cases even as low as 4.375% with 1 point.

According to Freddie Mac, the average rate for a 15 year mortgage reached a new bottom this week, dipping to 4.32 percent, the lowest level since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1991.

Home prices are much more affordable than 1 year ago and the tax credit program for homebuyers has been extended and expanded.

Up to $8,000.00 is available to most first time homebuyers and up to $6,500.00 is available for home buyers who have owned and enjoyed their present home as their primary residence for 5 of the last 8 years. 

The standard mortgage programs - VA, FHA, CHFA, Rural Development and Conventional are still readily available to prospective homebuyers.  IT'S TIME to venture into the market to see what's available to you.
