Visit us online at www.cooldenverhomes.com Important information about mortgage rates and the near future! As you know, every minute there is someone somewhere talking about the debt ceiling negotiations and what will happen if Congress does not agree to raise it. Although the odds on Congress not resolving this issue by August 2nd are very slim, there is one universal consensus that interest rates are most likely going to rise regardless of what happens. The school of thought is that if the debt ceiling is not raised, crisis in the markets will ensue and interest rates across the board will rise rapidly. In the event that Congress does increase the debt ceiling, the odds are very high that the stock market will rally. Whenever the stock market rises rapidly, so do interest rates. This happens every single time for this simple fact that investors take their money out of government securities and invest it in the stock market to ride the rally. The removal of money from government securities by investors causes the bond yields to rise which in turn means higher mortgage rates. The bottom line is that there is a good chance that mortgage rates will rise regardless of what happens next week. I encourage you to use this information to apply for your purchase mortgages. I also recommend that you lock in your rates because one thing is for sure..rates will either likely rise, or a slim chance they will remain the same, but I can guarantee they will not decline. http://www.cooldenverhomes.com/Morning-Coffee Roberts Johnson and Rachel Diedrich |

I held an open house on Sunday July 17, 2011 and had a ton of people come through, go tons of information from the visitors and had one of my lender's on hand to answer questions! I couldn't believe the number of people. This tells me the market is on the mend and will come back strong shortly! Interest rates are still at all time lows!
An event hosted by Wells Fargo Bank on Tuesday drew dozens of people seeking to rework their mortgages because of economic troubles or reduced home values.
Among those who attended the event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel near Denver International Airport were Ashly and Brandon Ditlow, who paid $300,000 for their home in New Castle in 2007.
The property — the cheapest the couple said they could find near Brandon's Eagle office — is now worth less than they paid for it.
"We have never missed a payment," Ashly Ditlow said. "We knew the house was underwater, and we wanted to pay on the commitment we signed up for."
The couple said the downturn in the mountains, where Brandon works as an air conditioning specialist, has hurt their finances.
After meeting with a Wells Fargo "retention team," the couple said the bank may help them. Their solution, if it materializes, will be for the bank to defer a portion of their loan.
Wells Fargo representatives spent the day working with borrowers like the Ditlows to reach similar modifications.
The bank claims that from January 2009 through May 2011, the company had 687,047 active trial and completed modifications nationwide.
Shannon Peer, who oversees the Colorado Foreclosure Hotline, said banks have been criticized for not doing more to aid customers.
But the workshops are "very beneficial because of the face-to-face service," Peer said. "Banks have been criticized because of a lack of commitment and this is a response to that."
Jim Spray, a Denver mortgage broker, was more skeptical about such events. He said such face-to-face workshops can be helpful.
"But so much of what I've seen is to gain favorable publicity with government entities," said Spray, who has testified in federal and state courts against banks.
According to Wells Fargo officials, approximately 25 percent of those who participate in its face-to-face workshops receive same-day approval to stay in their homes through arrangements such as loan modifications or refinancing.
Within two weeks, about two-thirds will have reached such agreements.
