OSU Specialist Gives Advice on Buying Home Corvallis The family that can save enough to make a substantial down payment on their new home gains in two ways they reduce the over all cost of the home, and a portion of their paycheck is committed for a shorter time. About S2.4 billion on mort gage debt were outstanding in Oregon last year with the av erage length of home mort gages running about 20 years. Mrs. Alberta Johnston, Ore gon State university exten sion specialist, says typical length of home mortgages is considerably longer today. In 1940. 20 years was the maxi mum length. Today, three out of four new mortgages are for 30 years and some even for 35 years. (The Housing act of 1961 permits the Federal Housing administration to in sure 35-year mortgages on new homes). Just how much a family is able to save on short-term mortgages is offered in this example from OSU's family finance specialist. Can Save A family would pay S17,- 823 interest on a Slo.000 loan for 35 years at 5' 4 per cent interest, compared to $9264 on the same size loan at the same rate for 20 years. By taking advantage of the short term loan, a family could save more than $8500. Families arc reminded that the purchase of a home repre sents the biggest single invest ment they'll ever make. They need to consider the advan tages of using long-term mort gages in relation to the addi tional costs to the family Equity in the home builds up much more slowly with a long-term loan, says Mrs. Johnston. Families that agree to a long term mortgage will want to be sure that the contract permits early repayment if the family finds that this is possible, so they can take ad vantage of the savings of a short-term loan. Long Terms Long-term mortgages en able lower income families to become home owners. With specified amounts for month ly payments for housing, they permit a family to buy a more expensive house. Long-term mortgages may make it easier to sell the house, because prospective buyers may be at tracted if they can assume a long-term mortgage and make only a small cash settlement. With rather general in crease in prices of houses since the early 1940s, most home owners have experi enced a rise in the value of I their homes rather than a de crease by depreciation, says Mrs. Johnston. But during the past year, real estate prices are reported to have stabilized in many areas. If they continue to level oft or decline, some owners with long-term mortgages may find they cannot sell their homes for enough to pay their re maining debt. In 1941, there was out standing mortgage debt in the U.S. of less than one-half bil lion dollars. In the last eight years, it has risen from $145 billion to $250.5 billion.
