team thayer housing news eugene oregon
Fannie Mae has introduced HomeReady™ mortgage, our enhanced affordable lending product. HomeReady is designed for creditworthy, low- to moderate-income borrowers, with expanded eligibility for financing homes in designated low-income, minority, and disaster-impacted communities.

HomeReady will be available later this year, with details to be released in late September. Key HomeReady features include:
  • Accessible and sustainable financing up to 97% LTV for a home purchase with no first-time buyer requirement.
  • Flexible sources of funds can be used for the down payment and closing costs with no minimum contribution required from the borrower's own funds for 1-unit properties.
  • Underwriting flexibilities include an innovative new feature that supports extended family households by considering income from a non-borrower household member as a compensating factor in Desktop Underwriter® to allow for a debt-to-income ratio above 45% up to 50%.
  • Required homeownership education will help borrowers navigate the home buying process and prepare for the responsibilities of homeownership. The required online course, provided by Framework (www.FrameworkHomeownership.org), is easy to use and gives users access to one-on-one counseling through the purchase process and beyond.
HomeReady builds on the success of Fannie Mae's long-time affordable lending product, MyCommunityMortgage®, which will be retired in 2016. HomeReady mortgages may be used for purchase of any eligible owner-occupied property, including (but not limited to) HomePath properties.

When Will Bank Foreclosurews ‘Normalize’? Team Thayer #realestate #investor #housing #market #news #oregon

With much of the talk surrounding the housing market centered on “normalization” or returning to its pre-crisis state, one metric which the market is watching is the distressed sales share—the share of REO and short sales that comprise total residential home sales. For February 2016, the distressed sales share declined by 2.9 percentage points over-the-year (and 0.4 percentage points over-the month) down to 11 percent, according to  data released by CoreLogic  on Thursday. At their peak in January 2009, distressed sales accounted for nearly one-third of all residential home sales (32.4 percent) but has been declining steadily since then. By comparison, the pre-crisis share of distressed sales was typically around 2 percent; CoreLogic estimates that if the current rate of year-over-year decline continues, the distressed sales share will reach the “normal” pre-crisis level in slightly more than two years. “Prior to the housing crash, the distressed share of total...

How Far Has the Economy Fallen in a Month? Team Thayer #realestate #housing #economic ##market #news #oregon

If the  May  Wall Street Journal  economist survey  is any indication, the economy is a lot worse off than it was as recently as a month ago. In the last three surveys conducted by the  Journal  in which economists are asked when they think the Federal Reserve  will next raise the federal funds target rate, the consensus answer has been June. In April’s survey, three-quarters of economists surveyed said they believe that a rate hike by the Fed will be announced at the next FOMC meeting on June 14 and 15. May’s survey told a different story, however. Less than a third (31 percent) out of the 70 economists surveyed said they believe the rate hike will take place in June; 21 percent said they believe it will take place in July. The same percentage of economists who believe that a June rate hike will take place (31 percent) said they think it will take place in September. What happened to the economy in the last month? A couple of setbacks—first,...
