Happenings "At The Cape"

THE LATEST REAL ESTATE INFORMATION

I am at the state conference for Realtors where we are hearing all the latest ideas for helping us and our customers - so far we discussed blogging for marketing our sellers homes - be sure your agent knows has this critical skill! Contact me to learn more - Linda@AtTheCapeProperties.com or comment on this blog.

SECOND HOME MORTGAGES

Banks were recently requiring 20% down for second home purchases but have just gone to 10%!  Contact me for more information - Linda@AtTheCapeProperties.com

LOW JUMBO RATES

This just in from Sovereign Bank - 5.875 jumbo loans to $1M - been a while since we've seen that low for jumbo!  

Also, if you're purchasing for 5 years or less don't be afraid of the 5/1 at 4.875%

Want to purchase a second home?  You'll need 20% down since they don't offer mortgage insurance for that but you can get a home equity from them on your primary at 4.0%.

They offer a rehab purchase program as well - call me, it's a great time to buy!  Linda Collins
