Here is some additional information I received from Michael on Friday regarding interest rates:

Federal Reserve Raises Interest Rate Charged to Banks, In First Move Since 2008

The Federal Reserve, taking its first step to return lending to normal after more than two years of extraordinary actions to prop up the economy, on Thursday raised the discount rate to 0.75 percent from 0.50 percent, takes effect on Friday.

Officials said the move was not meant to be a broad tightening of credit. Rather, they said, it was intended to discourage emergency borrowing when other financing is available to banks.

NEWSFLASH………THIS IS A MAJOR SIGN OF WHAT IS TO COME,

What usually follows after the Fed raises??  The banks raise rates go UP!!

This has the same effect of tightening credit…. but guess what??

 Rates are still low and so are home prices!!!

All BUYERS should now this fact……

            For every 1% that interest rates go UP (from current levels)

                   Their purchasing power decreases by 10.5%!!!!

Example, a mortgage payment at a rate of 5% on a $500,000 loan

                        = a mortgage payment @ 6% on a $447,000 loan!!!!

This means that the monthly payments on the following loans EQUAL each other.

 $750,000 @ 5% = $670,000 @ 6%

$1,000,000 @ 5% = $895,000 @ 6%

$1,500,000 @ 5% = $1,343,000 @ 6%

$2,000,000 @ 5% = $1,790,674 @ 6%

Wouldn’t you rather buy a home with a HIGHER value at the same payment!!!

You should know that the value of your money RIGHT NOW!!!

and more importantly……how to leverage it!

If you would like to see how this impacts you, please contact me for a consultation.

I will be available this weekend.

Best Regards,

Michael DeRosa
