Market Time Report:  THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER WAVE IS GROWING! May 1, 2008 Compared to last year, demand is stronger, there are fewer homes on the market and the expected market time is much lower.   The first time home buyer wave continues to grow and plant the seeds to an eventual recovery.   The reports from the streets of Orange County are unanimous:  first time home buyers are fueling a surge in activity that continues to flourish and has been steadily growing since the middle of February.  Multiple offers in the lower ranges, homes priced below $500,000, are now quite common throughout Orange County.  This chart illustrates how demand has not only surged past the 2007 level, but is quickly approaching the 2006 level.  Until just four weeks ago, year over year demand had not been ...

 Credit scores.....  aka fico scores.  I am a firm believer that you can't believe in everything that you read. As you can see the illustration to my left, that it states that the average credit score is 678. I have a hard time believing this and just talked to a few loan officers and even a credit specialist about this. I just don't believe that 678 is the average credit score. If I had to put a number on it, I would say 610 to 620.   Why am I bringing this up?  With so many changes to conventional loans and FHA loans when it comes to credit scores, it's been more costly for those applying for a conventional loan. Conventional loans --  If you have less than 30% down with credit scores below 680, you will have pricing hits to your points or to the rate. Even if you don't see the hits,...
