Market Watch


did you know

  • The matrix of fees based on credit score and down payment has been updated: With a top credit score, the fees are still notably less than if you have a low credit score, but the penalty now for a lower credit score will be smaller than it was before May 1. Someone with a 659 credit score borrowing 75% of the home’s value, will pay a fee equal to 1.5% of the loan balance (before you’d pay a 2.75% fee). With a high score of 740 or higher, you’d have paid a 0.25% fee on a loan for 75% of your home value before May 1. After May 1 you could pay as much as 0.375%, a notable increase yet still significantly (4X) lower than lower score buyers. (Yahoo Finance)

  • The U.S. office vacancy rate reached a milestone in the first quarter when it rose to 12.9%, exceeding the peak vacancy rate during the 2008 financial crisis. Despite low unemployment, that figure marked the highest vacancy rate since data firm CoStar began tracking it in 2000. Commercial mortgages account for around 38% of the median U.S. bank’s loan holdings and North American public pension funds on average hold around 9% of their assets in real estate. BUT….not all commercial real estate is office: don’t forget warehouses, hotels, apartments, data centers, etc. Office buildings account for just 16% of commercial real estate. (WSJ)

  • Sometimes the best way to motivate people to move is via tax breaks… with inflation up, many legal figures and benchmarks that were voted into law were done so many years ago – the capital gains exclusion was set in 1997, over a quarter decade ago! – and things have changed to say the least. Congressman Jimmy Panetta (Monterey, CA) and Mike Kelly (PA-16) introduced H.R. 1321 – More Homes on the Market Act – which would double the capital gains exemption on the sale of a personal residence to $500,000 for a single filer and $1,000,000 for joint filers. This bi-partisan bill has been referred to the Ways and Means Committee. Read more about this important bill. If you want more inventory to sell, this could help, so reach out to your Congressman to support this bill. (Thanks to COMPASS Walnut Creek CA’s David Schubb for this!)
