What is the Velocity of Money and How Does it Impact

Home Loan Rates?

K

ailua-Kona, HI If you’ve been watching the economic news, you’ve probably noticed that market experts and traders have been keeping a close eye on the Commerce Department’s Personal Spending and Personal Income reports. Obviously, those reports provide insight into the health of our economy, but did you know they also influence home loan rates? That’s right, personal spending can actually influence the interest rates that are available when you purchase or refinance a home. Here's why. It has to do with something called the velocity of money. Even though the government keeps pumping money into the system, nothing happens until that money is spent or lent – and passes from

H

one hand to another or one business to another. The speed at which this money passes between parties is called the velocity of money. With the job market still very sluggish, consumers aren't spending much money these days, and businesses are still reluctant to spend money to make investments in their business. With the present velocity at low levels, inflation remains subdued and that's good for home loan rates. That's because rates are tied to Mortgage Bonds and inflation is the archenemy of Bonds, so low inflation is good for Bonds and rates. However, once velocity increases, the excess money in the system will cause inflation – which is bad for rates, since even the slightest scent of

inflation can cause home loan rates to worsen. While we certainly want to see better economic recovery news in the near future, we have to remember that there's an inverse relationship between good economic news and Bonds and home loan rates. Weak economic news normally causes money to flow out of Stocks and into Bonds, which helps Bonds and home loan rates improve. Strong economic news, on the other hand, normally has the opposite result.

situation won’t last forever. That means now is an ideal time to purchase a home or refinance before the velocity of money – and rates – change. If you or anyone you know would like to learn more about the current economic situation and how to take advantage of historically low home loan rates, then please contact me.

Currently, home loan rates are at a historically low level, but that

If you are reading this and have a property either on the market or are considering listing your property ask yourself this question, “Is my agent showcasing my property to the world with the very best photos possible?” Your photographs need to be on spot when marketing your home to the world via the internet. This is one of the most important pieces to the equation in getting your property marketed and sold. Listings that have high impact strategic photos showcase the properties strengths not weaknesses. It is proven that listings with high

quality photos will receive significantly more traffic than a listing with poor quality photos. The opportunity is there to showcase your property at its finest. Reaching Buyers in countries you may have never imagined reaching. Remember photos sell. The right photos sell. The right photos present online curb appeal that will drive buyers to your listing who want to see more because your lead photo caught your attention. Four common mistakes to avoid a missed click or missed call: One or NO photos displayed The number one way to turn off online buyers is featuring only one or no listing photos. Serious Buyers need to view photos so that they develop an emotional connection with the property. Photos help Buyers evaluate whether or not they could see themselves living there. The more photos online the more time a Buyer will spend viewing and connecting with your listing. Less than Adequate Lighting It’s all about the first impression and lucky we live Hawaii. You can actually click sometimes faster than you blink (TRY IT). Who wants to look at gray, grainy, and dark images?

Listing photos must focus on the bright, clear, and professional images that provide a warm first impression. The Top Photos to Showcase a Property # 1 Kitchen # 2 Indoor Living Area # 3 The view # 4 Outdoor living space # 5 Bathrooms # 6 Unique Features of the Property Clutter is Chaos Clutter equals doom to prospective Buyers. Promote your property with only the basics of a living space. Peak the warmth and interest to the Buyer by staging an impeccable ready to sell property. Simply “simplify” the space, counter space needs to be cleared and open up corners of a room to help give the impression that the home is spacious. Remove cars from the driveway or garage unless there’s a Lamborghini in the driveway you may reconsider.

Mayor’s

County of Hawaii

The County of Hawai‘i has received two significant awards for its accurate reporting of the county’s financial condition and for assisting low-income residents achieve longterm financial stability. In August, the Finance Department was recognized for excellence in financial reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Then in September, the Cities for Financial Empowerment Coalition – which includes Hawaii County – was presented with the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED) Assets and Opportunity Award. Also known as the CAFR, the financial report earned a certificate of achievement for clearly communicating the county’s financial story, according to Stephen J. Gauthier, spokesman for the association which serves about 17,500 government financial professionals. Gauthier said an impartial panel judged the CAFR to have met the goals of the program in the full spirit of disclosure. “This certificate of achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting,” said Gauthier. “Its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.”

The unique CFED Award honors groups and individuals who are advancing the field of asset-building and increasing the use of financial products and services that allow low-income families to buy a home, pursue higher education, start a business and move up the economic ladder. The award was presented to coalition co-chairs Jonathan Mintz, Commissioner of the New York Department of Consumer Affairs, and José Cisneros, Treasurer of the City and County of San Francisco, at CFED’s biennial Assets Learning Conference in Washington D.C. The award has been presented two times previously, to Citigroup and the Ford Foundation. In addition to the County of Hawai‘i the coalition includes Chicago, Los Angeles, Louisville KY, Miami, Newark NJ, New York, Providence RI, San Antonio TX, San Francisco, Savannah GA and Seattle. Hawai‘i County’s financial empowerment work is spearheaded by our innovative Research and Development Director Randy Kurohara and his deputy, Laverne Omori. A member of the coalition since 2010, the county works with officials in other cities who share best practices and expand programs to help people save and build assets. The initiative focuses on creating public-private partnerships around the areas of financial education, increasing access to financial servicesand developing innovative assetbuilding products. Hawai‘i Island programs include Children’s Savings, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, innovative uses of technology to provide families with on-line benefits, screenings and referrals, and a text messaging-based platform for budgeting. Mahalo, William P. Kenoi MAYOR

The award further validates the excellent performance of the Finance Department in the midst of four consecutive years of diminishing resources. Finance Director Nancy Crawford and her deputy, Deanna Sako, are dedicated chief financial officers who lead a hardworking department which has been able to help our administration balance our last four budgets without threatening essential services or programs our communities deserve. An award of financial reporting achievement was also given to Kay Oshiro, county controller, an outstanding professional who prepared the CAFR, which covers the fiscal year ending June 30.

It’s Getting Easier To Finance The Condo Of Your Dreams! FHA is taking steps to ease some of its restrictions on condo financing! Among them is an increase in the number of units in a building investors can buy, up to half of the units, up from just ten percent before. And FHA will allow financing on projects in which half the space is used for non-residential commercial purposes, up from just a quarter before. Changes to matters relating to HOA dues and board certifications are also designed to ease financing restrictions. Still unchanged, though, are some key restrictions, including owner-occupancy limits, which still prohibit financing unless at least half the units are owner-occupied, and FHA financing if already half the units in a project have FHA loans. But FHA says it’s working on further changes, so look for more from the agency in the future.
