Whether you’ve visited Lake Nacimiento in the past, or have been searching for a great place for a vacation home or to settle in permanently, you may be considering buying a home in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch on Lake Nacimiento.

Well, you’re in luck!  As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent for many years, I can assure you that now is a great time to look at buying a home on our beautiful lake.  There are a wide variety of homes from which to choose, so whether you’re looking for a lakefront home, a home with a view or a more secluded option tucked in a wooded area; there’s a home for you!

In fact, with the current Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market leaning in the favor of buyers; now is an ideal time to purchase a home.  Below are five solid reasons you’ll want to begin to move forward with this decision!

1. Low Home Prices- In this buyers market, the competition for sellers is high.  Lake Nacimiento homes are selling at record low prices making now a perfect time to cash in on a great deal.

2. Low Mortgage Rates- Buyers are able to begin building equity right after they close on a home because of today’s lower mortgage rates. There’s hope that these low rates will encourage potential buyers to jump in to the real estate market and help with the healing process.

3. Move-in Ready Homes- According to recent studies by the Harvard Joint Center on Housing, there have been many home owners who have held off on selling their home. They’ve been waiting for the market to pick back up, and while waiting have either put money into remodeling or have kept their home in good repair. They wanted to make sure that their Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home was in ideal condition before listing since it is a buyer’s market with many other homes from which buyers can choose. That’s great news for those who are buying as most homes are in move-in ready condition!

4. Low Down Payment Mortgages Available Low-down-payment financing through Federal Housing Administration-insured mortgages is available for owner occupied properties, and not second homes, as an additional incentive to buy a house now. Down payment minimum requirements also fluctuate and may increase as the market heats up, so potential buyers with less cash to close on a deal may be well-advised to buy now.

5. Lenders Offer No-Fee Mortgages Many banks and other lending institutions are waiving mortgage loan generation and other fees and points (each point represents 1% of the loan amount), thereby reducing the cost of buying.

I hope these five facts about buying a home in today’s market help you determine your next step.  If you’re not quite sure where to start, please contact me!  I would enjoy the opportunity to talk with you about what you’re looking for in a home, your style, budget and needs.  I can then show you some of the beautiful Lake Nacimiento homes that match up with what you’re looking for and help you through the entire home buying process.

Please feel free to contact me to today to get started!  I look forward to hearing from you!

If you’ve lived in your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home for a few years or more, chances are you’ve considered the option of refinancing your home.  With today’s low interest rates, it can be tempting to want to refinance in order to take advantage of these historically low rates.  But is refinancing the right choice for you?

As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, I’m often asked this question and I wanted to shed some light on how to determine if refinancing will be beneficial to you.  Whether you’re hoping to live in your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home for many more years, or you’re considering the option of selling your home; below are six great ways to decide on if you should move forward with refinancing.

1. Interest rates- Refinancing right now is great for homeowners whose current rates are above 5.5% and are hoping to save on their monthly mortgage costs.  For an Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home, you could potentially save a percentage point or more on an outstanding mortgage.

2. Credit score and income- Most banks in today’s market will require you to have a minimum credit score of 620 in order to refinance.  You will also need to prove that your household finances have been stable.  If unemployment or other issues have come up that have decreased your finances significantly; you’ll find it hard to refinance.

3. Costs- Refinancing your home will cost you typically 2% of the new loan amount.  This includes application, appraisal and inspection fees. Included within refinancing costs is the new escrow account you’ll need to fund. The lender will set up this account for home-insurance and property-tax payments from which they’ll draw annually.  Want to avoid this fee?  Use the same lender you used for your initial mortgage.  Their only costs are limited to issuing new paperwork, so they’re able to keep costs low and can oftentimes speed up the process. Another option is a good faith estimate. Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent can help you determine which option would work best for your home.

4. ‘Underwater’ homeowners- Today’s housing market has left around 11 million homeowners “underwater” meaning they owe more on their home than it’s actually worth.  They will have a hard time refinancing and can only do so through a federal program. Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will help explain the option of a “short refinance” that was launched by the FHA.

5. Adjustable-rate mortgages- Determining whether you’d like to go with an adjustable-rate mortgage or a fixed-rate mortgage can be tricky.  An ARM can be a good choice for today’s market as you’ll cash in on the current lower rates, but can be unstable in the long run.  However, a fixed-rate mortgage ensures that your rates will remain stable and won’t rise if the market changes.

6. Greater pricing disparity- Based on your current credit score, the rates offered for refinancing can vary greatly. Lenders will look at California’s average loan-to-value ratio and the percentage of homes with negative equity.  The higher the percentage of these homes, the higher the rate a borrower will most likely be offered.

If you have any questions about these factors, or are ready to sell your Lake Nacimiento home, please let me know!  I have years of experience with buyers and sellers on Lake Nacimiento and can ensure that the sale of your home will be a smooth and efficient process.
