Since the crash of the real estate market that began in 2008, many home owners lost equity in their investment and became upside down in their mortgages leaving them feeling trapped and unable to get out from underneath it.However, now that the Home Affordable Refinance Program, otherwise known as H.A.R.P has been extended through 2015, it can provide much need relief for distressed home owners.There has been no better time to refinance then now with rates being at historical lows.According to an article titled: Why Now Is the Time for a HARP Refinance by Tracy Mooney with FHFA, http://www.zillow.com/blog/2013-10-03/why-now-is-the-time-for-a-harp-refinance/ Borrowers nationwide are reaping significant savings either by lowering their payments, reducing their interest rates and/or securing a fixed rate. Homeowners who refinanced through HARP during the first quarter of 2013 will save an average of $4,300 in interest payments during the first 12 months.

You can tell the real estate marketing is getting better with the amount of foreclosures dropping.  At one point, almost 4 out of 5 houses on the market were short sales or foreclosures and in the last few months, it has been harder to find them.

The creation of the Consumer Protection Bureau is having dual impact on Mortgage Applicants. It is preventing the loose lending habits of financial institutions that caused the collapse of the housing market in 2008 which is a good thing; however, It is also limiting some other wise qualified consumers from taking out a mortgage or refinancing their existing property. New rules for lending are scrutinizing a larger array of common debt such as student loans. These new practices that are intended to protect, will also have a limiting side effect for those other wise qualified applicants.

I love this article about how the housing market has picked back up.  I think we were lucky in San Antonio that the real estate market did not tank as much as the rest of the US did.  Yes, it went down but not nearly as bad as others.  This article mentions how buyers are having a hard time because houses are being snapped up from sellers right away but even in a buyers market, we had a hard time.  Since there were so few houses on the market, my buyers would get outbid and have to put in 3 or 4 offers before the were the 1st one.  Has anyone else noticed this?
