Homebuyers are Stretching Their Budgets and Mortgage Limits

  • More buyers are stretching their budgets, putting less money down or using adjustable rate loans that offer lower rates.
  • Buyers today need to be not just pre-approved for a mortgage but have a mortgage commitment.
  • Borrowers have more options for low-downpayment loans, options that were not available as recently as just a few years ago.

Buyers today not only need to be pre-approved for a mortgage, but they must also have a mortgage commitment. Home prices are hitting new highs and the gains are growing, just as mortgage interest rates are turning higher again. All of that has more buyers stretching their budgets, putting less down or using adjustable rate loans, or ARMs, that offer lower rates.

They are actually feeling emboldened to do so, thanks to the rise in the stock market and the improving economy.

Borrowers also have more options for low-down-payment loans, options that were not available as recently as just a few years ago. Fannie Mae reintroduced a 3 percent down-payment loan that it had discontinued during the recession, and some private lenders are venturing back into subprime, although they’re calling them “non-prime” loans. These are mortgages to borrowers with lower credit scores.
