New Jersey Mortgage Loans

Finding the right Mortgage  Loan for your new home on the  New Jersey Shore

At the annual Mortgage Banker Association convention in Orlando, Florida recently, the following statistics from a survey were released:

• 35-40% of all owners hold their homes free and clear and half the rest have fixed-rate mortgages
• 15 % or so have any interest-rate sensitivity, he explained. And only half of those are new recent enough owners, so "unseasoned" in mortgage industry parlance that "we don't know how they will act."
• 9 out of 10 interest-only loans originated during the first half of 2005 were adjustable rate products; the trend now is toward fixed loans in which the loan amount is amortized over the years after the IO period expires. In other words, with a 10-year IO, total amount borrowed with interest would be paid over the last 20 years.
• ARM originations fell from 46 percent to 36 percent between the last half of 2004 and the first half of 2005
• IOs went up from 17 percent to 23 percent.
             -The IO is the affordable loan product du jour, said Doug Duncan, the MBA's chief economist. "It is enjoying overall market acceptance because it offers the lowest payment alternative that gets people into the house they want to buy."  Interest-only loan originations tend to be greatest in markets where prices are highest, so they "could be problematic" in places where housing prices are out of whack with reality. But overall, Duncan said this new loan does not pose a peril to the housing sector.

New Jersey real estate as investment

New Jersey Real Estate Investors are not scared off by any kind of talk of a "Bursting Bubble"

A recent survey prepared by the National Association of Realtors has determined that over 23% of all homes purchased last year were acquired as investment properties.

Many of the newer real estate investors involved in this survey, got into the market after witnessing their stock portfolios stall and wither, while at the same time, their homes were appreciating in value like never before and their home equity was soaring.

Both East Coast and West Coast Investors continue to buy up properties at an unprecedented pace and continue to ignore warnings issued by economists, analysts and even Alan Greenspan, of an overheated real estate market and pending slow down. Vacancy rates remain higher than normal in some areas, but builders and developers continue development at an all time record with new homes, as in New Jersey, condos and town homes selling (and the property appreciating) like never before in history.

Passing on your Brigantine New Jersey real estate

To pass on your Brigantine New Jersey real estate to your children, perhaps you should consider a Qualified Personal Residence Trust.   According to Toddi Gutner in Business week, this could be the solution for you:

Qualified Personal Residence Trust:

1. This trust term is 5 to 15 years. Parents retain ownership and still benefit from all property tax deductions.

2. After the turnover, parents pay fair market rent to the heirs. The value of the home is discounted for trust purposes--factoring in the owner's age, the length of the trust term, and the Internal Revenue Service's monthly "hurdle" interest rate--and split to represent the value of the gift and the value of the right to reside on the premises, or the retained interest.

3. The gift value typically is smaller than the retained interest. This lessens the tax burden placed on the heirs.

4. Those who do not want their children to become their landlords should consider setting up another trust after the original trust term ends, appointing trustees to be in charge of making decisions about the property.
