We still have tons of snow. Skiers are loving it. We are having some sunny days between the snow storms.

Conforming Loan Limit is Now $729,750.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is big news for Summit County. Previously the conforming loan limit was $417,000. The reason we care is that loans above the conforming loan limit have a higher interest rate. Loans within the conforming limit are eligible to be purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Summit County is considered a high cost area because 125% of the median home price exceeds $417,000.

The law is making these changes just temporarily, the old limit will go back into effect January 1, 2009. If you are thinking of making a big purchase - this is another reason to do it now.

Other properties I have liked ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We haven't had very many new properties come on the market in the last couple months. Finally I've got something to write about.

In Dillon Valley West, an updated two bedroom condo with tile and hard wood floors. It also has a washer and dryer (which is unusual for the complex. Hot tub and pool at the clubhouse. Priced at $260,000.

In the town of Dillon, the price on this three bedroom condo at Spinnaker has been reduced to $499,000. Three bedroom, three bath, heated garage parking, indoor pool and hot tub. Top floor, with elevator access. Western views and just a block to the lake.

Up in Wildernest, a few Treehouse condo units have been coming on the market. This one for $287,900 is a two plus loft with two baths. Top floor (no elevator) some furniture. Great clubhouse. This could be a great mountain retreat.

The Spyglass complex does not allow short term rentals, but it works great as a second home or full time residence. There is a two bedroom two bath end unit with wooded views. All of the units have a one car detached garage. This one is priced at $337,000.

Above Silverthorne in Mesa Cortina is a great single family home with large open living area and a real mountain feel. Four bedrooms, three bath, basement rec room and two car garage. Lots of trees on the half acre lot. Close to town too. $699,000.

New construction on Angler Mountain Ranch. Now that I can get inside and see the homes, I'm excited about the property. Located at the north end of Silverthorne near the Blue River. Three bedrooms 3 bath, 2395 square feet and a 2 car garage. Nicely finished and good floor plan. Prices for the half duplexes start at $705,000.

Interest Rates~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The big news is the change in loan limits. One of the local lenders is offering a "stated income" jumbo loan with no points at 5.75% for a 5 year adjusted rate loan. The credit score has to be at least 700. Interest only loans are available too.

As always rates vary depending on the property type, credit scores and documentation required.
