NYC area tax-laws fuel the move to Florida

My clients come from all over the world, however with the new tax-laws, I have seen a huge growth in home buyers moving from New York City, Connecticut, and other parts of New England. There is a projection of 800,000 people a year leaving New York. They are looking for places to move with less tax burden and Florida is the top destination.

Here in Flagler and Volusia counties we are seeing the luxury home market doing great.Property taxes are extremely low compared to what your used to, no state income tax and luxury homes cost a lot less money here.

Lets explore some of the homes that are available here that might be of interest!

Some great new on Mortgages

HUD announced yesterday that the monthly mortgage insurance premium for FHA has decreased effective with all closings on or after January 27, 2017.

For 30 year fixed mortgages, the monthly premiums are dropping by 25 basis points, from .85% to .60%. This can equal big savings over the life of the loan, for example: On a $200,000 loan amount, this equates to a monthly savings of approximately $50 per month. This also increases purchasing power!

To read the entire HUD announcement, please click on the following link: https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=17-01ml.pdf

Remember, Our lender can offer Mortgages for FHA loans down to a 580 credit score when most banks require a 620 or 640 score! Call James Jestes today to be put in touch with a lender that can help you purchase your new home!
