Home sales should generally level-out and remain at historically high levels, according to the National Association of Realtors®. David Lereah, NAR’s chief economist, said mortgage interest rates are trending up but will remain favorable. “Economic growth and job creation are providing a favorable backdrop for the housing market, but rising interest rates have an offsetting effect,” Lereah said. “Home sales will move up and down somewhat over the remainder of the year but stay at a high plateau, meaning this will be the third strongest year on record.” He expects the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage to rise to 6.9 percent by the end of the year.

Growth in the U.S. gross domestic product is forecast at 3.7 percent in 2006, while the unemployment rate should average 4.8 percent.

Existing-home sales are projected to drop 6.0 percent to 6.65 million this year from a record 7.08 million in 2005. New-home sales are likely fall 10.9 percent to 1.14 million from the record 1.28 million last year – both sectors would see the third best year following 2005 and 2004. Housing starts are forecast at 2.00 million in 2006, which is 3.2 percent below the 2.07 million in total starts last year.

NAR President Thomas M. Stevens from Vienna, Va., said home prices are expected to cool, but not as much as in earlier projections. “Although housing inventories have been improving, the balance is still a bit more favorable for sellers and annual appreciation remains in double-digit territory,” said Stevens, senior vice president of NRT Inc. “Even so, the market is in a process of normalization – appreciation will return to normal single-digit patterns, providing solid investment returns into the future.”

The national median existing-home price for all housing types is likely to increase 6.4 percent this year to $221,700, while the median new-home price is expected to rise 2.3 percent to $242,700.

Inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index is seen at 3.4 percent in 2006. Inflation-adjusted disposable personal income should grow 3.8 percent this year.

If your mortgage introductory or fixed rate period is about to expire you can save substantial money over the period of your loan if you re-mortgage. You avoid having to start paying your mortgage lender’s variable rate of interest which is highly likely to begin at least one percentage point above that which you have already been paying and which could increase your monthly outgoings significantly. Over the lifetime of your loan just a one percent increase will result in you paying back thousands in extra interest payments – money you could save towards retirement, put in a fund for your kid’s college education or use to actually pay off your mortgage faster.

We are so confident that we can help you, that if you are not happy with the mortgage we get for you, we will gladly put you into another mortgage for free. IN addition, if we promise you a rate when you speak with us, and we do not get you the rate we promise, we will pay you $1000. No strings attached.

With over 20 years of experience, and files of repeat customers, we are sure you will be happy working with us. Somerset Financial Mortgage has the right plan for you. We can help you onto the path of financial freedom and give you peace of mind.
