“Higher Rates and Lower Debt Ratios Will Mean Less First Time Home Buyers Approvals”
Last week, one of the lenders that I work with had decided to reduce their debt ratios for new mortgages going forward in anticipation of the mandatory reductions that go into effect 1/14/14. If there is already one, over the next few months others, others will follow.
In some markets across the country, first time home buyers are a key component to the real estate market and if some of these home buyers cannot qualify, home values will be affected.
So far I have been able to help almost everyone that wanted a mortgage, but over time this will change. Anyone that is on the fence, get them off, otherwise some will lose out and have to continue renting, even though they want to own a home in the future.
