Rates Hit 7%
Mortgage rates continue to climb hitting 7% as reported by Mortgage News Daily. The last couple weeks had seen it’s highest levels in months culminating in a 7% rate for conventional loans. We hit 7% last October which was then, the highest rate we have seen in the last 20 years. 20! What does this mean to a prospective purchaser? Assuming a $400k purchase price, 20% down on a fixed 30 year loan, the borrower will be experiencing an increase of approximately $225 more monthly than they would have in the previous month. Since 2002, Las Vegas/Henderson has experienced a 184.7% total increase as reported by FHFA.Gov. From 2002 – 2006 prices up every year. From 2007 – 2011, prices went downk, particularly in 2008 – 2009 dropping at 36.9% and 19.9% respectfully. From 2012 – 2022 we saw 11 straight years of price increases with the largest being 2013 @ 24.8% and 2021 @ 25.44%. What does this mean to you? Longevity and affordability. If you can afford the additional payment, you should be thinking of a minimum of 5 years, 8 most likely. This means you might have to lower the purchase price of the home or plan other monthly cost cutting measures until rates change for the better. Either way remember, in the last 20 years, the average annual appreciation as been 5.4%. That’s up, down, but overall in the plus column. Think long term.
