California Mortgages (CA)
According to PMI Group, seven of the top ten housing markets vulnerable to price declines are in California. The report sees a return to “normal” appreciation in house prices to an average of 4 to 6% a year, meaning that real estate is still a solid investment. With national and local economies remaining strong, a soft landing is expected in California after rapid increases in housing prices the past few years. Mortgage rates fell slightly in early April, making this a good time to purchase or re-finance a home in California.

Refinancing in California
Refinancing is a great way to consolidate all your monthly payments into one low monthly payment and get out of debt once and for all. This type of refinance is commonly called a cash out refi. Other reasons why you might want to refinance is to switch from an adjustable rate mortgage or interest only mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage. Since mortgage rates are still extremely low, it makes sense to refinance sooner then later.
