Financing Your Home >When Interest Rates Rise
Many people fall out of the home buying market when interest rates start to go up. This is often a mistake. Many of the best mortgages deals become available when lenders are competing for new business and sellers are competing within a smaller buyer pool. You just have to know how to keep the costs down in order to counter the higher interest rates.
One of the best tricks is the buy-down. In a buy-down, a fee is paid at the closing to get a lower interest rate. In a soft market, an anxious seller may be lured into to paying all or part of the buy-down. Another approach is to get the seller to pay some of closing costs, thus lowering the amount of cash a buyer needs to close. Frequently the seller's costs can be used as a write-off by the buyer. Always consult with your tax advisor if you are considering such an arrangement.
If the market is softening due to rising or higher rates, the price itself becomes an area where a buyer may be able to save a lot of money on a house through skillful negotiating. Lower prices mean lower loan amounts, so don't be discouraged by higher rates--use them to your advantage.

I am a firm believer in the value of real estate as a great investment! I have helped clients buy and sell properties in both Missouri and 'The Gold Coast' of Connecticut. Having made many moves myself (California, Connecticut, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, to name a few) I understand the emotions and stress involved in moving, whether within town or to a completely new location.
As a token of my appreciation for the trust my clients have in me, I make a donation to the charity of your choice for every closed transaction. It would be my pleasure to assist you in your real estate transaction.
