Post-Tax Credit Buyers May Save Money

Missing the tax credit deadline might have seemed like a big mistake to some home buyers, but waiting could have been the smartest thing to do.

Interest rates have fallen so dramatically since April 30th that the typical purchaser of a $350,000 home, financed with a $280,000 mortgage, would have saved a bundle by waiting until May.

At April’s average rate of 5.34 percent, a home buyer would have locked in a 30-year fixed rate loan with a monthly payment of $1,561.82.

The same borrower could have snagged a 30-year fixed rate loan at a rate of 4.625 percent in May and paid $1,439.59 per month.

That’s a $1,467 annual savings. Over 30 years, it’s a $44,003 savings, dwarfing the tax credit.

April Homes Sales Spike 14.8%

Sales of new homes jumped in April, climbing 14.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted rate of 504,000 last month, up from 439,000 in March, the U.S. Commerce Department reported Wednesday.

Sales were up 47.8 percent over the same period a year ago.

The surge was driven by the home buyer tax credit, which expired April 30. “We got two solid increases in March and April,” says Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo. “We may see sales fall to a record low in the aftermath of the tax credit program, but any fallback should be short-lived.”

The government estimates that there were 211,000 new homes on the market at the end of April, a five-month inventory.
