How to Take Advantage of the Jump in Mortgage Applications
Wednesday, 25 Mar 2009 | 9:13 PM ET Text Size Posted By: Carlo Dellaverson
Web Producer
Today we learned that mortgage applications jumped 32 percent last week over the previous week. It was also recently reported that last month’s sales of previously-owned homes jumped to its biggest increase in six years. Rates are down and home sales are up – what does it mean for your mortgage?
Rodney Anderson, executive director and managing partner of Rodney Anderson Lending Services, says the “floodgates are opening and the phones are ringing off the hook” with home loan applicants. And 70 percent of those applicants are actually getting approved, he says.
The secret to that high rate of acceptance? Anderson says this time around people are realizing they have to verify their assets, income and pay attention to their credit scores if they want to get a loan. Having that triumvirate is the key to getting approved, he says, and more homebuyers understand it, which leads to better borrowers applying.
Anderson also says he does not see interest rates moving much higher in today’s market, and he would advise first-time homebuyers to use the opportunity to lock in rates the closer they get to closing. Don’t pay a premium to lock in rates for longer periods of time, he advises.

Think for YOUR-SELF - Fear not!
It's ok to dream right? So here it is....I would love to turn off the 24 hour news networks in the hopes that people will begin to think for themselves again. A steady diet of non-stop idiot level "news" hosted by for the most part unintelligent "broadcasters". Blathering on and on and on about the same topic with no substance what so ever. It's like a little kid in the car saying "are we there yet" over and over and over again....anyone would go crazy and we have, crazy fearful.
Make a choice and SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!
