How does the fed cut to 2% help people with mortgages and student loans? even those with existing loans?

Fed cuts in rates do not necessarily affect mortgage rates, nor is there any direct correlation between the two. It is the biggest myth in the world, and I wish people did not think this was the case. See the article:

http://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/research_strategies/market_insight/financial_goals/mortgage_lending/why_fed_rate_cuts_dont_equal_cheaper_mortgages.html

The biggest indicator for mortgage rates is based on the bond market as was already explained, but inflation, the value of the dollar, (un)employment and other external factors – such as liquidity (demand) in the secondary market will have a greater impact on rates than the Fed cuts.

Do “Short sales” with 2 mortgages really usually just go to foreclosure?

instead of the house actually selling as a short sale? i put an off in on a short sale on May 5th and the seller approved it almost immediately. i just found out today though that the house has 2 mortgages and the 2nd mortgage has accepted our offer and now were just waiting on the 1st mortgage to respond.

You want to know what’s crazy about short sales? There is no way to tell which ones will go through and which ones won’t. Sometimes ones with multiple mortgages will work out and the ones with only one won’t, or vice versa. It’s so hard to gauge since your putting everything in the hands of bank employees who have no real experience in the real estate market. This is just dumped in their lap and they have to make a decision for people they don’t know and don’t care about. Plus, they also have the fun job of recommending to their company that they should lose this amount of money. The whole thing is such a mess.

I know how you feel though. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since our offer was sent to the bank on a short sale. The owner on ours accepted the offer two days after we submitted it, but we all know that doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t even make sense why the offers are presented to the owner since they really have no say, only the bank does. The house we’re trying to buy has one mortgage so we only have to wait on one bank.

When we were considering putting an offer in, we had our Realtor contact the listing agent to find out how many lenders were involved. We were advised by our agent that even though it’s all just guessing, short sales with multiple mortgages are less likely to close. It’s hard to get one bank to agree to the price never mind two that don’t care about each other. Often times it’s the 2nd mortgage that holds things back though, so hopefully since the second one in your case accepted it will work out in your favor. You never know though. Be prepared to lose the house due to the banks not agreeing just in case. If you get it that’s fantastic but you have to be prepared to lose the house you love, it helps it sting a little less.

I wish you lots of luck! This is our second offer on a short sale since we started looking in February. The first one was rejected after 3 weeks so we’re hoping we’re close to an answer. I hope you are too!

Maybe we’ll both have our houses very soon! =D

Am I misunderstanding or is it a crazy risk to get a variable/ adjustable rate mortgage now?

If you take out a variable/adjustable rate mortgage now isn’t there a risk it can go to 10-15% or higher if there is high inflation and the central bank raises interest rates?

It will go up.

With fixed rates this low it is just plain stupid to get an adjustable now.
