Recently Funded Bridge Loan

Recently, a local Mortgage Broker reached out to us for one of his past Borrowers, whose debt-to-income ratios were too high if the borrower had 2 mortgages.   The borrower wanted to pull cash out of his current home’s equity as a down payment on another house he wanted to purchase.  He needed a loan of $540,000, which we had no problem getting approved.  Within a couple of weeks, the loan was funded and borrower was a new homeowner!

How to “bridge” the gap the between buying and selling your home!

May 9, 2023

istockphoto 483821958 612x612 1

What options would a buyer have if they find the home they want to buy, but haven’t sold their present home? If the buyer needs the funds from the sale of their present home as a down payment on the new purchase, they can look to a bridge or temporary loan to solve their problem. A bridge loan is a loan that helps a current homeowner buy another new home, prior to the sale of their current house.  Once the sale is finalized, the bridge loan is generally paid off from the proceeds of the sale.

At Sun Pacific Mortgage we cater to this type of loan with a program that allows the borrower to obtain a short-term private money loan, with interest only payments. We have investors who will lend amounts up to $1.5 million. The interest rates are generally based on the loan to value – and can be a Bridge refinance loan for cash out of current home, a Bridge purchase loan to help buy the new home, or a Bridge loan that includes both the current home equity & the new home equity.

There is no prepayment penalty associated with this loan, but we do look for a loan to value of least 65% for refinances and up to 75% for purchases. Also, debt to income ratios are not considered with this loan program, nor is FICO scores.

If this is a solution to one of your problems, or the situation one of your clients is facing, visit our website at www.sunpacificmortgage.com or please call us at 707-523-2099 to find a fast, alternative and flexible solution.

2023 California Housing Market Continues to Stabilize

May 2, 2023

Model house on a financial graph

Most housing analysts expected 2023 to be a rough year for the U.S. housing market. In fact, among the 29 major housing forecast models, 24 forecasted a national home price decline for 2023.

But, so far, that hasn’t proven to be true.

Through the first few months of 2023, the U.S. housing market continues to show signs of stabilization. Existing and new home sales have inched up a bit this year, and homebuilder confidence has improved. Firms like Zillow, CoreLogic, and Black Knight have all reported positive month-over-month home price increases this Spring.

What’s going on? For starters, a lack of homes for sale, coupled with the market entering its busier Spring period, has, at least for now, pushed the national housing market back into equilibrium.

Don’t misread the above statement and think that the housing market is normal just yet. Some housing markets are booming right now, while others, like San Jose, are still passing through a home price correction.  Even within a particular market, it can vary considerably.

According to Zillow, among the 1,563 California ZIP codes tracked, 6.7% saw home price increases between December 2022 and March 2023. The other 93.3% of California ZIP codes saw a home price decrease, if only slightly.

CoreLogic, a real estate research firm, expects U.S. home prices to rise 3% between January 2023 to January 2024. If CoreLogic is correct, then U.S. home prices would end 2023 back at price levels achieved at the height of the boom in June.

It is good to remember that the appreciation in California home values during the past 2 years was about 15%, so these slight declines should not deter buyers from jumping into the real estate market.

If you are looking for a private real estate loan, and can’t qualify for a conventional loan, look no further than Sun Pacific Mortgage. We have been lending to California real estate investors for over 35 years. Give us a call at 707-523-2099 or find us at www.sunpacmortgage.com.

Retreat of the California Seller’s Market

April 25, 2023

Buyer's Market

Real estate agents throughout the California regions are reporting a rapid shift in the market. Six months ago in quarter 2 2022, 95% of agents who were surveyed characterized their market as a seller’s market. In Q3, that number had declined to 51%, and in Q4 it fell to just 30% of agents.

Home Buyers in this wonderful state of California, are beginning to see more favorable conditions when it comes to pricing and competition for homes as the market continues to rebalance. This is in sharp contrast to the hot real estate and lending markets that we witnessed from 2020 to mid-2022, when agents consistently reported a buyer’s market at a rate of only 1%-2%.

An example of this market shift can be found in a study where 64% of agents say that most homes in their market are not getting multiple offers. This is reminiscent of the trend that began in Q3 2022.

Nearly 95% of all agents surveyed reported that the average days on the market for listings in their area is increasing. But because housing is retaining much of the staggering equity gains of the past couple of years, and the increasing interest rates affecting affordability, the situation isn’t a buyer’s paradise yet.

If you are planning to purchase or refinance your home but can’t qualify for a conventional loan, consider a private mortgage from Sun Pacific Mortgage (707-523-2099 – www.sunpacificmortgage.com). We have helped thousands of buyers just like you for the past 35 years with our family-owned company.
