3rd Quarter 2005 On Top of Your Game

Time to Buy?

 

With home prices continuing to rise across the country, and mortgage rates remaining reasonably low, many people feel compelled to get into the market or expand their housing investments if they haven't already.

At the same time, many financial advisers urge caution when buying at a time when property values are soaring and mortgage rates are poised to rise again.

In such a climate, what is the prospective homebuyer to do?

Which Mortgage Best Fits Your Situation?

A Fixed-Rate Mortgage is the most popular program, offering the stability and consistency of predictable monthly principal and interest payments for the life of the loan. If you expect to live in your new home for an extended period, or if you want to lock in the current interest rate, this may be an excellent choice for you.

The Adjustable Rate Mortgage is an increasingly popular alternative to the conventional fixed rate mortgage loan for homeowners trying to get the most home for the lowest payment. Although it offers lower initial mortgage payments, the monthly payment could increase over time. This rate may be most appropriate for people who plan to live in the residence for five to seven years, or who anticipate income increases during the life of the loan.

Jumbo Loan Mortgages are for homebuyers looking to finance the home of their dreams. With mortgage programs up to $2 million, Wachovia offers fixed rate for mortgages over $359,650, as well as adjustable rate mortgages.

Community Lending Programs can help homebuyers with modest incomes and limited savings turn the dream of homeownership into a reality. These programs are easier to qualify for than conventional mortgages, offering relaxed credit guidelines and qualifying rules, no or low down payment, assistance with closing costs, and lower monthly payments.
