The Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies recently released its annual “State of the Nation’s Housing” report, which details various factors keeping prospective homebuyers from purchasing a home, including high mortgage rates and the rising cost of home insurance. According to the report, home insurance premiums grew an average of 21 percent between May 2022 and May 2023 alone, with statewide increases averaging 35 percent (nearly $500) in Florida. Property taxes are also rising, contributing to the overall increase in homeownership costs as demand for single-family homes continues to outpace supply. Check out the report below. https://lnkd.in/ez-QHFmN

The Buy vs. Rent-A-Home Equation...Tipping Towards Rent? As a title insurance company owner, reliant on purchase transactions, it pains me to present these facts although they certainly vary by location... Rent: More apartments are under construction than at any time in half a century, meaning that rents will likely not rise much, and in fact may fall depending on location. Buy: Prices are high, mortgage rates are high, and inventory remains low. See the monthly mortgage cost increase for a $400,000 purchase in the photo below. And read the article in the The New York Times, 'Is This Really ‘the Worst Time to Buy a Home’? here https://lnkd.in/e_uDMVG3 _____________________________________________ Remember, Do Your Due Diligence When It Concerns The Title Insurance For Your Real Estate Purchase In New York! And when you get a title bill, always get a second opinion from another title insurance provider! The non-premium title bill charges can vary widely! Watch 'Do You Ever Wonder About Title Insurance?

Lennar's 10-Q Shows The Rising Cost To Sell New Construction Homes! These incentives provided by homebuilders include mortgage rate buydowns, free upgrades, elimination of certain closing costs and, of course, the ultimate incentive of lowering the price of the house. From Lennar's 10-Q (per Wolf Street)... “Revenues were higher [by 9%] primarily due to a 15% increase in the number of home deliveries, partially offset by a 5% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered.” “With our ready access to capital, we have been able to adjust and capture demand by using incentives to reduce the affordability constraint.” Unless mortgage rates drop significantly, spurring natural demand at the current prices, homebuilders will continue to face headwinds! _____________________________________________ If You Are Buying A Home Or Commercial Property In New York State, You MUST Protect It… That's Where Title Insurance And Due Diligence Come In!

Unlocking Home Ownership: The Role of Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is crucial for many first-time homebuyers, yet often misunderstood. According to a recent report by LMI provider Helia, 85% of brokers see LMI as a tool to speed up market entry, with 70% recognising it as key for renters to become homeowners. LMI isn’t the most exciting part of buying a home, but it can be a potential safety net giving you peace of mind. It’s a special type of insurance that you might need if you’re planning to buy a house with less than a 20% deposit. Here's why LMI matters: 1. Less Savings Needed: LMI helps you jump into the property market faster because you don’t have to save up for a huge deposit. 2. More Home Choices: With LMI, you can consider homes that may have been out of reach if a big deposit was required. 3. A Helping Hand: It’s particularly handy for first-time buyers who are transitioning from renting to owning. #LMI #financebroker Sabea Financial 02 9816 9850 | mlowry@sabea.com.au | www.sabeafinancial.com.au

According to a recent survey of lenders, the volatile home insurance market is causing more problems in the mortgage process than ever before. With rates rising to a record high, one of the most prominent challenges lenders are facing is an uptick in DTI issues once the cost of insurance is factored in, with 68% of lenders reporting this problem. For many borrowers, that has meant having to downsize to a smaller mortgage to afford those higher home insurance costs. 37% of mortgage lenders reported clients who had to opt for a less expensive home. Working with an insurance marketplace like Matic — which offers 50+ national and regional carrier options — can help borrowers find a lower cost policy.
