Good Day! Click on any link for details Feel free to contact me with questions

Local 94 year old agent George Johnson said, "In this market, any young person that hasn't bought a house ought to buy one".This is from a man that’s been through the great depression and in Real Estate for over 7 decades. Young, old, or just re-financing, now is the time.

Local Marysville lender Dan Bliven, indicated today that FHA “Fixed” home loans are at 4.0%! However, this is due to the Fed’s announcement yesterday that they would keep rates down until mid 2013. Though there is no assurance that they will remain at 4.0% and change daily anyway. They averaged 4.55% in July.

Fannie Mae is still paying up to 3.5% for buyer’s closing cost but this promotion ends October 31st, 2011. There’s a very good selection of these homes currently in Snohomish County and surrounding areas. Let me know and I’ll send you some. I just closed a nice one in Marysville last month for under $150k.

Zero down USDA home loans are readily available in selected areas. This is a great way to take advantage of the market and even skip a month’s rent! After buying a home, you don’t pay your 1st payment for one month.

Lake Stevens is a great place to live. Check out Aquafest, Catherine Creek & more.

It’s now substantially cheaper to buy a home than to rent. Coupled with zero down loans and great selection it’s pretty hard to not get a Smokin Deal.

What Is An MCC?

Aside from being a well kept secret, this is a GREAT program!

Lake Stevens Homes for Sale

“Mortgage Credit Certificate”, or MCC, is a Federal Program to assist First Time Home Buyers in purchasing a home. The program allows a home owner to take a credit, of up to 20% of their annual mortgage interest, off their “tax liability” or tax bill.

Funds are limited, so don't wait to apply.

Tax Credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction of your total federal income tax.

Home owners can adjust their federal income tax withholding to reflect the value of the MCC.

Borrowers have less money withheld from their pay checks.

Value of MCC must be considered by the lender during loan qualifying.

Home owners receive the standard tax deduction for the remaining 80% of mortgage interest.

How Does It Work? (FHA):

Sales Price $ 375,000

Down Payment 3.5% -13,125

Base loan Amount (5%(5.721%APR) 30 year fixed)
$ 361,875

Total Loan w/UF Mortgage Ins $ 368,207

Interest Paid Annually @ 5% $ 18,410

20% of Annual Interest $ 3,682

Buyer Benefits:

20% of annual interest $ 3682.07

Divide by 12 months in a year 1/12 = ?

Monthly benefit to buyer $ 306.83

A first time buyer would receive a monthly tax benefit of $306.83dollars a month to offset the cost of the home on a $375K loan.

Example:

Payment W/O MCC Payment with MCC

This is the qualify payment the bank is obligated to use!

Home Buyer Requirements:

1. The borrower must be a first-time home buyer.
*Unless the home is located in a target area*

2. The borrower’s annual income must fall within the program income limits.
