CAMB Members Answer Consumer Mortgage Questions Live on KCRA-TV 3
On October 3, 2007 from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., CAMB is partnering with KCRA Channel 3 on their Consumer Call-in program to respond to consumers' questions about their mortgages. Twenty-five CAMB members will be fielding over 1,000 calls and emails from consumers throughout the day. There are 250 major media markets in the United States; the Sacramento market ranks 19th with KCRA broadcasting to approximately 15 counties in northern California. KCRA officials are very pleased with the call volume and the level of knowledge and expertise that the CAMB members are providing to consumers.

CAMB Warns Consumers About Misleading Advertisements to Pay Off Holiday Debt

CAMB is warning consumers to be aware of advertisements that encourage consumers to refinance their homes in order to pay off holiday debt. Numerous advertisements have been appearing across the state in mailboxes and on fax machines offering loan programs with various incentives from free appraisals to no loan fees. The same advertisements also claim to offer loan programs with rates as low as 1 percent and some are even lower. These ads also state that consumers with poor credit or a recent bankruptcy or foreclosure can get approved for these loans.

CAMB Issues 2007 Mortgage Industry Forecast

CAMB issued its annual Mortgage Forecast projecting that interest rates will remain favorable in 2007 with the rates likely to remain within one percent (1%) of current low levels. Additionally, recent homebuyers (within the last several years) who used an interest-only or adjustable rate mortgage are turning to fixed rate loans as they refinance and take advantage of equity. However, despite the recent stabilization of the housing market, many new buyers are still forced into alternative loan products due to high housing prices. Finally, for home shoppers, the first half of 2007 is likely to be the best time to get a good deal on a new or existing home.
