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.
