Home Mortgage PropertySecuring a Mortgage Loan

While mortgage rates are the lowest they've ever been, it's also becoming harder than ever to get approved for a home loan. During the real estate boom in the mid 2000's, just about anybody could buy real estate in Des Moines or anywhere else. The banks did everyone an injustice by providing

loans to those who could not pay them back...causing the crash, and resulting in all the foreclosures we now see on the market.

If you're looking to buy a home now, better plan to have around a 20% down payment. There is even talk that it may go to as much as a 35% down requirement eventually.  It's never been more important to protect your credit, not to over-extend yourself with debts, and to get pre-approved before you spend the time to go house-hunting.

Below you will find a mortgage calculator to give you some idea of the payments on any particular amount.  If you have decided to purchase a home in Des Moines and have not explored your mortgage possibilities, please call us and let us help you find out what kind of home you can buy.
