Jacob Frydman Talking About the Decreasing Mortgage Rates

Dec 11, 2018

While quite a number of factors could be contributing to this sudden shift, undoubtedly one of the biggest is the Brexit.

New York, NY - December 11, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

While consumers expected the interest rates for their mortgage to increase, the reality showed they in fact decreased or stayed the same, reaching the lowest level in a very long time. Though this development has come as a shock to many, experienced real estate advisors such as Jacob Frydman, a New York-based developer and investor, have foretold of just such an occurrence being an expected possibility in the continuously evolving market.

While quite a number of factors could be contributing to this sudden shift, undoubtedly one of the biggest is the Brexit. “Mortgage rates have been low for years, but the impact of Brexit has brought us close to record lows once again,” Mike Fratantoni, chief economist for the Mortgage Bankers Association, told CNBC, “with jumbo rates already at their lowest levels, giving more borrowers a larger incentive to refinance.” The uncertainty surrounding the European markets in the wake of the event caused many investors to transfer their capital to American mortgage bonds, which are now seen as the safer bet.

Jacob Frydman reminds us that the market is inherently cyclical, meaning that there will always be upturns, downturns, and periods in-between. He has been quick to point out that the most recent decline was somewhat reminiscent of the fiscal crisis New York experienced in the 1970’s, and that the sharp contrast between the city then and now is a perfect example of just how much the economy can transform in a matter of years. Frydman has frequently cautioned onlookers from overly fixating on current short-term trends and advises transferring focus to prospective opportunities which can be developed down the road. Frydman predicted interest rates and, consequently, real estate prices would begin rising during the 2010’s after remaining low for so long, but also prophesized that the market would stabilize again “towards the middle to the end of the decade”. If his predictions remain accurate, then by the 2020’s we should start seeing a return to the historically low rates that will provide brand new options in real estate.

A renowned expert on value added investments, Jacob Frydman has acquired over five million square feet of real estate - with transactions of up to $2 billion - during the course of his 30-year career. He has served as a CEO, Chairman, and CIO of First Capital Real Estate Trust, and a frequent guest lecturer at Columbia University. A Finance graduate of Boston University and Juris Doctor recipient of Case Western Reserve University School of Law, Frydman often participates as a speaker and panelist at numerous industry seminars and on Fox Business, CNBC, Bloomberg Television and other news media, where he speaks on matters relating to property investments and trends in real estate. Having retired from his role as a CEO of a public REIT in 2015, Frydman seeks out special situations where he can enhance a property's value, which he undertakes alone or at times with partners.

China close to matching US spending on ‘new way of war’, Republican senator warns

The United States is lulling itself into a “sense of false security” over its military rivalry with China, according to a Republican senator who called for more spending on modern warfare systems and closer cooperation with allies. Speaking at the Hudson Institute after a recent trip to Japan and South Korea, Dave McCormick, a Pennsylvania senator and West Point graduate, claimed up to 90 per cent of US defence spending funded decades-old equipment and technologies. “We convince ourselves; we...

While US President Donald Trump has said he is open to sitting down with Chinese and Russian counterparts Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin at the Apec summit, it remains far from certain that the three leaders will actually meet in a few weeks. Observers said much would depend on whether the countries could agree on an agenda, with one expert describing this as a “critical lever”. Russia was set to gain most if the trilateral meeting took place, experts said, as the summit would be a potent symbol...
