Nadia Evangelou, senior economist & director of forecasting for the NAR, predicts the 30-year fixed rate to hover around 2.8% to 2.9% in Feb. Bidens administration’s new stimulus checks, enhancement to the unemployment benefits, and funding for more vaccine all are contributors.

Using a gift when buying your first home? When the donor transfers gift funds to our borrower, the transfer must be documented by one of the following:
• Donor's withdrawal slip and client's receipt of deposit
• A copy of the donor's check and evidence of deposit into the client's account.
o If gift funds are deposited with other funds, in addition to the gift, the remaining amount of the deposit must meet proof of large deposit. If the remaining portion of the deposit does not meet proof of large deposit, source the additional assets or back the funds out of the clients account.
o If the deposit is less than what is listed on the gift letter, obtain a new gift letter with a lower amount and source the deposit.
• Wire receipt showing the transfer of funds from the donor to the client's account.
• If gift funds are being transferred at close, obtain a copy of the donor's certified check/wire receipt and Closing Disclosure indicating the exact amount of the gift.
o Gift must be transferred and available by the day of signing.
• If gift funds are being used to pay off or down a debt directly by the donor to the creditor, we would need to follow the paying off debt requirements guidelines.
• If bank statement is used to document the transfer, and funds are transferred prior to close, then funds received must show on the bank statement.
