WHY ARE RATES STILL SO LOW? Question: Mortgage rates were expected to rise this year, but so far that hasn’t been the case. How come mortgage rates remain so low, and what can we expect in the near future?

Answer: As of late April mortgage rates have consistently been below 4 percent – well below.

According to Freddie Mac, the rate for 30-year fixed rate financing stood at 3.87 percent at the end of 2014 and rates at this writing are around 3.65 percent.

In early January, while many were predicting rates above 5 percent for the year, I guessed and said “it’s entirely possible that rates will largely stay where they are and perhaps even fall” in 2015, a comment that should be hedged with three thoughts: First, so far, so good. Second, things could change.

Imagine what would happen to interest rates if

oil prices soared because of additional instability in the Middle East. Third, financial predictions are pretty much worthless; economic models are not necessarily more accurate than tea leaves.

A lot of attention has been given to the possibility that the Federal Reserve might seek higher interest rates. While it’s entirely true that the Fed has the ability to impact some interest rates, it does not set mortgage levels; instead, it’s merely one of many factors that impact real estate financing.

For instance, right now much of the world economy is, er, what’s the technical term? Oh, yes: awful. Those with cash are getting negative interest rates in Europe and Asia, while in the U.S. investors can at least get something. With “negative interest” an investor gives $100,000 to a borrower and gets back less.

The result of tough economic conditions abroad is that a lot of money worldwide is flowing into the U.S. and forcing down our borrowing costs; by one estimate U.S. banks have some $2 trillion in excess cash. With tons of supply and not a lot of demand it follows that rates are currently low.

What’s largely missing from the rates discussion is the matter of context. Imagine that rates jumped to 4.3 percent. No doubt marginal borrowers would be flushed from the market and there would be

By Peter G. Miller

pressure to reduce both home sales and selling prices in many local markets.

That said, 4.3 percent is an astonishingly low rate according to historic standards. The real problem is not that the housing sector is “weak” or that mortgage rates are somehow “too high,” it’s that the economy has not recovered in a way that has improved the finances of average people. As the Census Bureau reports, median household income was $51,939 in 2013 – that’s “8.7 percent lower than the median household income peak ($56,895) that occurred in 1999.”

How can people pay more for homes if they have less income? Something has to give, and that “something” –at least for the moment – is the cost to borrow. As to what will happen with interest rates in the future, nobody knows for sure, including tea-leaf readers, economic forecasters and guesses from this writer.

Only Able to Afford a Small Down Payment for Your First Home? You’re in Good Company Many first-time buyers are overwhelmed by all the questions to ask before jumping into homeownership. People often wonder, “Am I ready? Is this a good investment for me? Can I afford it? Will I live here long enough to warrant buying a place instead of renting?” Perhaps the biggest concern is how to pay for such a big purchase. Oftentimes, first-time buyers cannot afford a large down payment. However, according to data from the National Association of REALTORS® Confidence Index, in the months of December 2014 through February 2015, about two-thirds of first-time buyers made a down payment between 0-6 percent. And while the number of small down payments is lower than it was in 2009 (when 77 percent of down payments were in the 0-6 percent range), it is higher than this time last year (when 61 percent fit in that range). Consult a Realtor® to discuss your options!

Rising Home Values, Declining Homeownership Creates Divide HOW THE HOUSING MARKET IS AFFECTING INEQUALITY IN THE U.S.

R

ising home prices alongside declining homeownership rates likely are contributing to worsening inequality in the U.S., according to new research from the National Association of Realtors.

On one hand, rising home prices in many metros in recent years have helped homeowners all over the country build housing wealth. On the other hand, homeownership rates have continued to decline. The result is that gains are being reaped by fewer people, likely contributing to worsening inequality in the U.S., according to the NAR The NAR reviewed data on homeownership rates, changes in single-family home prices and the Gini Index (a measure of inequality) between 2010 and 2013 to estimate wealth and income in 100 of the largest metros in the country. The findings showed that more than 90 percent of metro areas have shown declining homeownership rates during a time when home values have risen and

income has remained flat.

According to the study, wealth distribution is seen as most unequal in metro areas with the lowest homeownership rates, including Los Angeles, New York and San Diego.

Home prices have recovered steadily in most metros over the past five years, boosting housing wealth by $5 trillion, according to Lawrence Yun, the NAR’s chief economist.

“Homeownership plays a pivotal role in the U.S. economy and has historically been one of the primary sources of wealth accumulation for middle class families,” Yun said in a statement. “Unfortunately, due to an underperforming labor market, insufficient housing supply and overly-stringent underwriting standards since the recession, homeownership has plunged to a rate not seen in over two decades. As a result, the country has become more unequal as the number of homeowners has fallen while the number of renters has significantly risen.”
