Mortgage Expectations In February

The mortgage world is consistently adjusting as finances, real estate, and government changes arise. Because of this, we want to make sure that our clients are kept informed and up to date of these changes. Now is a GREAT time to get a mortgage at the Lake of the Ozarks, and Team Lasson is ready to assist you. Take a look at these things to watch for through the month of February if you are getting a home loan at the Lake of the Ozarks.


Make the Most of Higher FHA Loan Limits

FHA mortgages are great options for those who want to lock in the low mortgage rates, even if you do not have a large down payment saved or an excellent credit score. FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration, and only require 3.5 to 10 percent down depending on your credit score. The most intriguing find for FHA borrowers is that roughly 3,000 zip codes got a 7-percent hike in FHA loan limits. Higher limits provide the ability for a buyer to access a bigger piece of the market, which is great news when considering the rising home prices. Are you looking for an FHA loan? Team Lasson would be glad to talk to you about the options available for you.

Boomers Can Use Equity to Pay for Renovations

Statistics are showing that many baby boomers are planning on staying in their homes for a while, but in addition, they are going to be remodeling them as well. In fact, 9 out of 10 said that they wanted to make improvements to their home according to a study by Chase and Pulsenomics.

Studies also showed that these boomers plan to start their renovations within the next three years. The next question is, how do they want to fund them? One option is to borrow against the equity in your home and save on interest. If you are a homeowner who wants to renovate either your primary residence or your vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks we can help you find the best options.


What Is Next?

Every month, the mortgage market will adjust to the current trends and economy. You never know what will happen next month, but that means that now is a great time to get started. Team Lasson has been providing the best mortgages at the Lake of the Ozarks for vacation homes and primary residences alike. Are you ready to fast track your mortgage? Team Lasson offers Home Loan Express as a great way to get your mortgage FAST. Visit our website to learn more, or give us a call - we would love to chat with you!

Seasonal Living at the Lake of the Ozarks

Living at the Lake of the Ozarks provides many wonderful opportunities, and they are not just in the summer! As full-time residents, as well as business professionals, we know how wonderful it is to be a part of this community. Now is a great time to buy a home at the Lake of the Ozarks, and Team Lasson would like to assist you. If you have been thinking about relocating to the Lake of the Ozarks, here are a few things you can expect to love during every season.


Winter

Winter at the Lake of the Ozarks is a great time to enjoy some relaxation and rest. It is also a great time to get involved in the community! There are fun events planned almost every weekend of the season where you can get out and meet people, support local community groups, and invest in the area. From golfing events on the nice days, to fishing tournaments on the cool days - there is always something to do, even during the Winter months.

Of course, one other thing to consider for the Winter is that if you do not have a vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks, NOW is a great time to get started. Team Lasson would be honored to help you get a mortgage for a vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks.


Spring

This is when the Lake area begins to bloom. The whole place comes to life as the trees and grass start to change from brown to green. The water starts to sparkle under the warming sun, and the evenings are cool with the sound of birds singing everyone to sleep. As this season starts to wake up the dead of Winter, you will find people spending more and more time on the water. Spring vacationers will be coming back, and weekend vacation homeowners at the Lake of the Ozarks will be taking advantage of their vacation home. Spring is a wonderful time to enjoy the Lake area, take advantage of outdoor activities, and even get in a few rounds of golf at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Summer

The BIG season here at the Lake is SUMMER! The Lake starts hopping, and this is a great time to enjoy as much time in your vacation home as possible! Get that boat out, pack up the cooler with beverages and start hopping to all of your favorite restaurants. With thousands of vacationers during the Summer season, hundreds of events and activities, and a wonderful vacation home - what more could you ask for?


Fall

Things may start to relax a bit in the Fall season, but there are still people finding plenty of reasons to get out on the water and enjoy the Lake lifestyle. Golfing and fishing at the Lake of the Ozarks are two activities you will see increasingly through the Fall season. Of course, you cannot forget the colors! The Lake of the Ozarks was voted the second best place to see the Fall colors by USA Today, and we could not agree more. We also boast of two Missouri State Parks, so if you enjoy hiking through the Ozark hills, you will find the Fall season amazing.


It Is Time to Buy a Home at the Lake of the Ozarks

Team Lasson takes great pride in helping so many people buy their vacation home. When looking for a mortgage company at the Lake of the Ozarks, we excel at Lake vacation homes. We would be honored to help you buy your Lake of the Ozarks vacation home. Visit our website to learn more about our services, or submit your application online. We cannot wait to work with you.
