Interest Rate Risk - "I want to wait for prices to go down..."

Interesting bit of info from my good friend and mortgage lender Mark Baker at Cardinal Financial... Did you know a 1% change in interest rate equals 10% LESS in buying power for the same payment? Example:      4.5% rate, for 30 years at $1,393 PITI = $275,000 Mortgage     5.5% rate, for 30 years at $1,393 PITI = $245,314 Mortgage (10.79%less)     6.5% rate, for 30 years at $1,393 PITI = $220,472 Mortgage (19.83% less) As interest rates increase, Buyer’s qualify for 10% LESS in Purchase Price for every 1% in rate. If you have a Buyer waiting for prices to "go back down", they might not understand the "Interest Rate Risk".

Pretty big news for buyers and sellers... HUD just announced they are going to lower the FHA monthly MI .25% starting January 27, 2017. That means that the monthly MI, goes from .85% of the loan amount to .60% of the loan amount. In other words, on a $100k loan the monthly MI is .85% or $850.00 / 12 ($70.73 per month) & now that same MI would be .60% or $600.00 / 12 ($50.00 per month). What this means is simply the buying power just went up for a FHA borrower!
