Lending is Available! WSJ article of 8-5-14



Hello everyone!
Attached is an article from the Wall Street Journal (8-5-14) that you may want to pass along to prospective buyers – at least use the information to help get them off of the fence!
Here are the takeaways:
1.       Lending Standards for mortgages are easing amid sustained increases in the US home prices.
2.       One in four major US Banks have announced easier guidelines for qualified borrowers.
3.       Investor demand for prime mortgages rebounded to its highest level in a year.
4.       If you have good buyers that couldn’t qualify 6-12 months ago, there’s a good chance that they can now – see your favorite Royal Charter Loan Officer.
5.       Mortgage interest rates are almost certain to rise this year – use articles like this to get your buyers in the game or off the fence.  Now is a great time to buy!

Good luck (and, remember, you can find this article under “Agent Stuff” and then “Stuff You Need to Know” on the LP website)!
