Does the state of California restrict brokers and lenders for points with home equity loans?

Home Equity Rates for California borrowers on average are lower than out of state interest rates.

California Laws restrict brokers to charge no more than 5.99% total in fees inclusive of all lender costs. This sounds great in a sentence, but unfortunately it causes many homeowners grief when they try and take out a small home equity loan. It is very difficult to find 2nd mortgages under $40,000 because the cost of loans barely covers the 6%. This leaves very little incentive for California mortgage brokers to service you with competitive secondary financing.

California Home Equity News and Economic Update
Home financing optimism will flow when the Federal Reserve stops increasing home equity rates. This will not appreciatively improve the plight real estate will experience. Interest rates declined the last two downturns between 1981-1984 and 1990-1997. Once the negative real estate scenario has begun, lower interest rates won’t turn the market in a positive direction. Reduced mortgage rates will just be an excuse to pass on some more false hope to the ready ears of concerned Realtors and builders alike. This "good news" will be passed on to the consumer in an attempt to bolster sagging sales. It will not work. The bloom is off the real estate "rose." California median prices rose in the past month to $575,800. Santa Barbara County delivered higher than expected home sales numbers. Last month increased from $677,630 to $778,850. A closer look reveals a decline in sales of 42%. Let us assume that more expensive home sales rather than price increasing skewed the median price.

California Home Prices Up But Sales Down

Higher interest rates for purchase and home equity loans are hitting out sales in the California housing market. But home prices look like their steadily climbing.

Figures released from the California Association of Realtors shows home prices have jumped roughly $25,000 during the first six months of 2006.

The tough sell; however, is the plunge of the number of home sales by almost 56,000 from the first to second quarter of 2006.

Some analysts think the rise in home prices is actually the result of more homeowners putting their homes on the market.

"For the first time since November 2001, we experienced back-to-back months of single-digit price appreciation, moderated in part by increased inventory levels," said Vince Malta, president of the California Association of Realtors. The prime interest rate has steadily increased almost one point during the first six months of 2006. Most often when The Federal Reserve raises the rate, fighting inflation is the goal.

"Mortgage interest rates continued to edge up for the fifth consecutive month in June, contributing in part to a slowdown in sales," said C.A.R. Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young. "June 2006 was the first time since late 2001 that the sales pace fell below 500,000 for two consecutive months. Home sales declined 26.3% last month compared with June 2005, when they hit the third-highest monthly pace on record." Home equity loan and second mortgage applications volumes have been increasing as the number of first mortgage refinance applications have been decreasing. An article in the San Diego Union Tribune, shows higher interest rates stopping prospective home buyers from signing on the bottom line. Those trends are forcing home owners to drop their prices. But, the latest sales figures show the state-wide median home sales price turning upwards, an unusual trend, considering a rise in interest rates has typically created a buyer's market.
