Get a Mortgage- Laugh in the Face of the Slow Housing Market

Get a Mortgage- Laugh in the Face of the Slow Housing Market

Let me start by saying one thing, and make sure you pay very close attention: mortgage companies NEED you right now, far worse than you need them. That said, let’s talk about how you can get a mortgage and take advantage of the slow economy and supposedly ‘crumbling’ housing market. The weird thing about the current economy and housing market is that they can actually be GOOD for home sales, if you look at the situation through the right perspective. Think about this, if you will: the mortgage company you intend on working with offers you a home mortgage that has a fixed 30-year 4.8% rate. That’s a pretty good loan, so what are you waiting for.

You’re probably thinking that you’re scared. You’re uncertain about the stability of the mortgage company, and what will happen if a bigger financial crisis ensues, as well as how that can affect you if you get a mortgage now. I can tell you what will happen: your mortgage will be sold to a different company, just like it is many times throughout the course of your loan, even without financial troubles to initiate the sale. Being able to trust an industry that certainly hasn’t proven themselves might seem scary, but you can’t judge all lenders by the actions of a few.

With any luck, there will never be another housing market where you can get homes at up to 50% off of what they are worth or more. The ‘too good to be true’ market is happening now, but it IS true. The smart people who want to make the most of their investments are out there buying homes, for which they are going to get a mortgage, and they’ll end up spending far less in the end than those who wait for the market to improve. Buying a home right now isn’t forbidden. In actuality, it’s recommended. Take the time to check out your options and see how amazing the deals are in your area.

The only thing standing between you and your ability to get a mortgage right now is your personal credit and financial situation. If you’ve got the money, and you’ve got the credit, then you should have no trouble getting a mortgage. Find something that you can afford, and reap the rewards of the slow market. Remember, the mortgage companies need you, so make them work for you.
