(2) Market Liquidity:
the demand for mortgage money currently outweighs the supply on the secondary market. That’s why mortgage rates seem “high” relative to the markets.  The government is currently working on a bond “Bail-Out” program to help fund the mortgage market, and we HOPE that will have a positive effect on rates. STAY TUNED THIS WEEK!

(3) Product Alert!
FHA loan limits in Jefferson, Park and Clear Creek County just increased to $406,250!  (along with other counties in the Denver metro area).  This will help buyers with little or no money down, first time homebuyers, and those with some past credit issues.  FHA rates today on a 30 year fixed rate are 6.0% with a 1% discount fee, and 6.5% with NO discount point. Same fees apply as conventional mortgages!
