HELOC Rates Going Up
Powell Announcement Was Made…HELOCS Will Be Hit First
They are no longer thinking about, talking about or not talking about. They are ready to announce. Fed Chair Jerome Powell let everyone know that as soon as the next meeting, in November, the tapering process will begin. The $120B a month in purchasing of mortgage backed securities and treasuries will wind down starting in December 2021 and finish in July 2022. This taper is faster than what was assumed to be an end of 2022 completion. Immediately after the taper is complete in July, “Lift Off” will commence. What does that mean? Raising Fed Rates which will lead to rising HELOC rates and mortgage rates. Read the rest of this article here to see how much they can go up and how to protect yourself..
More Data. There is No Bubble
Colorado Is Ranked #49.
THIS is exactly the list we want to be at the bottom of! Colorado has only 2.5% of mortgaged loans in Delinquency, 0% in foreclosure and 2.6% non-current. Check this out…
There are 2,464,164 housing units in Colorado (per US Census)
- There is a 65.2% owner occupancy rate
- Which gives Colorado 1,606,634 homes owned (not rented)
- 37% are paid in full, so 594,454 homes NOT at risk of default
- 63% have a mortgage or 1,012,179.
- 2.5% of them are delinquent or 25,304
- only 1.4% of of our mortgaged homes have negative equity (in Denver that number is 1.2%).. so 14,170 homes at risk. The other 11,134 of the delinquent homes have enough equity to sell.
- Based on closing 5,618 homes in the DMAR area in August, we would have 2.5 months of inventory IF all of those 14,170 homes came on the market at the same time and were all in Denver Metro… which they aren’t… which means we actually have less than 2.5 months of inventory… which means…
The risk of foreclosure stressing out our housing market in sight of the birth rates 29-33 years ago, the continued net population gain, historically low interest rates, the extreme amount of equity gained (29.3% last year alone), strict qualification for buyers, and the increased favor homeownership has gained during the pandemic.. well.. I simply do not see the risk of depreciation nor a housing bubble. But maybe that’s just the color of my glasses 😉
