SOLANO REAL ESTATE SCENE
Fed raises interest rate by quarter percent
I
nflation and affordability are what all the people and AI agents are talking about today. The Fed raised the interest rate to fight inflation and try like heck to get to their mandated target of 2%. The market expected this and as a result, the stock market Jim Porter held steady as of Wednesday, but we will see what happens. Mortgage rates stayed the same, which is good, but sometimes the longer end of the curve and mortgage rates come down after the fed raises the overnight lending rate, so let us pray. One thing that will be going up is the prime rate by this 25 base point spread, which stinks for people like me who owe money on my credit union home equity line of credit, but do not worry, none of the experts are suggesting we will see a bunch of hikes over the next year. Epic Fury broke out Feb. 28, and the day before, the 10-year treasury bond was yielding 3.97% and our mortgage and real estate salespeople were locking in buyers at 5.875%, and even lower for Veterans Affairs and Federal Housing Administration.

Should you refinance with the same lender? KAREN BENNETT
Y
BANKR ATE.COM
ou can refinance with your current lender or switch to a new one – there’s no rule requiring you to do either. The real question isn’t whether you’re allowed to change lenders (you are); it’s whether it’s the smarter move for your finances. That decision comes down to more than just comparing your current lender’s offer against the competition. Whether you’re thinking of refinancing to tap into home equity or snag a lower rate, here’s how to weigh the convenience of staying put against what you might be leaving on the table by not shopping around.
In 2025, 87% of borrowers paid higher than the best available mortgage rate for their credit profile – often because they didn’t shop around, according to Bankrate’s Hidden Homeownership Tax research.
Can you refinance with the same lender?
tive rate or terms on a refinance, even if another lender originated the loan.
Yes, you can refinance with the lender who holds your current mortgage. You’re also free to refinance with a completely different lender instead. Neither option is off-limits. Lenders are responsible for processing, underwriting and closing on your loan. However, these companies often hand off their loans to mortgage servicers, who handle the day-to-day administration, like taking payments and tracking your balance. If you aren’t sure who your servicer is, check the name on your most recent mortgage statement or payment coupon book – it may not be the same company that originated your loan. Because servicers don’t offer their own loans, you’ll need to go through a lender if you want to refinance. If your mortgage is currently held by a bank or loan originator, however, it may be able to offer a competi-
ADOBE STOCK
The loyalty discount isn’t always a real discount Your current lender may offer you a refinance rate that beats your existing rate. That looks like a win, and compared to your current rate, it is. But retention offers are calibrated against your reluctance to switch, not against what you’d actually qualify for elsewhere. The offer only has to beat your existing rate, not the market. The only way to know whether your current lender’s offer is actually competitive is to compare it against outside quotes.
Is it better to refinance with your current lender? When deciding whether to refinance with the same lender or a new one, you’ll want to consider a few things, including:
•Interest rates: If the lowest possible rate is your top priority, shopping for multiple quotes can help you choose the right mortgage refinance for your needs. Get quotes from at least two other lenders and ask your current lender to match the best one. If they won’t match it, switch.
•Closing costs: Refinancing costs 2% to 5% of your new loan amount regardless of who you go with. If cost is your top priority, get a Loan Estimate from at least one other lender and compare it dollar-for-dollar against what your current lender charges – some lenders will negotiate or waive fees to keep your business, but only if you ask with a competing offer in hand. •Satisfaction with your current lender: If you’ve had service issues, use this refinance as your reason to switch. You’re filling out a new application either way. Read lender reviews before you commit to staying or going.
Advantages of refinancing with the same lender •Ease of application: While you’ll have to submit some updated documentation, the overall process may be easier because your existing lender already has some of your information on file. See Lender, Page 6

purpose of that policy is to protect you from exactly this type of problem. Your title insurance policy works just like your car insurance policy. If you get in an accident, you notify your insurance company so they can take care of you. You need to do the same thing with your title insurance company. So the very first thing you should do, at least after you’ve finished reading the paper, is to call your old title company and ask how you can make a claim. The title company should then take the ball and figure out what they need to do to clear the title.

If the mortgage company that is the beneficiary of the Deed of Trust still exists, they may be willing to go ahead and record a reconveyance deed. But if the lender can’t be found, or otherwise isn’t willing to remove the lien, the remaining step is to file a lawsuit and ask a judge to clear the title. Unfortunately, this probably isn’t going to happen during the timeframe of your current escrow.

Somehow, I had never heard this term before, but “The Great Moderation” was a period of reduced economic volatility in the U.S. from 1988 to 2007. This era abruptly ended with the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed, which was all caused by the Wall Street Mortgage Ponzi Scheme that started in 2003 and ended when Lehman Brother and all the big banks got caught selling a couple trillion dollars worth of junk disguised as A-Paper mortgage-backed securities.

Lender From Page 3 •Convenient payment: You’ll avoid the hassle of setting up a new online account, learning how to make your monthly payment and figuring out how to manage your account. •Account consolidation: If you already bank with the institution that holds your mortgage, you have fewer accounts to track.
Disadvantages of refinancing with the same lender •Might not get the best rate: Your current lender isn’t guaranteed to offer the best refinance rates. If you don’t shop around, you might miss out on a more competitive rate elsewhere. •Fees might be lower elsewhere: Refinance closing costs typically run 2% to 5% of your loan amount, and your current lender may sit at the higher end of that range. Checking competitors’ fee sheets is the only way to know if you’re overpaying. •Could miss out on better loan terms: Like rates and fees, your current lender might not offer the best loan terms for your financial situation and goals.
Talk with your current lender Before you rule anything out, see what your current lender is willing to do to keep your business. “Most lenders want to keep their customers; most lenders want to preserve that relationship,” says Joel Kan, vice president and deputy chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association. “They want to keep the servicing of the loan.” Keep in mind: Your current lender is only genuinely incentivized to offer you a better deal once you have an outside quote in hand. Without one, they have no pressure to beat their own retention pricing. Compare today’s refinance rates before you say yes to anything.
What shopping for a new lender could actually save you Say you have a $300,000 balance on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 7.75% – a rate you locked in a couple of years ago. Your current lender offers to refinance you into a new loan at 7.15%. That’s a real improvement over what you’re paying now, so it’s tempting to take it and move on. But it’s still well above the current market average of 6.78% for a 30-year refinance, and much higher than the best rate you may find by shopping around.

Mezoo Madness doubles with Golden Cascade Baby Sun Rose T

hose of us attending the Young’s Plant Farm Annual Garden Tour in Auburn, Alabama, always have our eyes open to new plants, applications, or recipes. One plant that demanded attention this year was Golden Cascade Baby Sun Rose. Know upfront: It is not a rose. It’s from Proven Winners Norman and marketed Winter under their Proven Selections label. I hope they take it full scale to Proven Winners because it is a real looker. While on the tour, son James and I did some quick research and saw it was botanically Aptenia cordifolia. The research also showed that this was the same botanical name as Mezoo Trailing Red Livingstone Daisy. They certainly looked the same, except Mezoo Trailing Red is a variegated green and white selection with red flowers while Golden Cascade Baby Sun Rose is a dazzling chartreuse or lime green with similar red flowers. The funny thing is that the botanical name supposedly has already changed. Three years ago, The Garden Guy wrote a column challenging you to jump on board the Mezoo Madness trend and use this plant in your mixed container designs and landscape bed combinations. I am happy to say Mezoo Madness continues in more ways than you imagined. It has been a wild, fun and in some ways a crazy ride since then. The recipes and color partnerships have been more beautiful than you ever dreamed. Now with Golden Cascade Baby Sun Rose
the combos will be even greater. But the real question is do you know the plants we call Mezoo Trailing Red, Livingstone Daisy and Golden Cascade Baby Sun Rose? They are drought-tolerant, heat-loving succulents reaching up to 8 inches tall with a spread up to 24 inches. We grow them for their trailing habit, which yields red flowers, but those flowers are more of a conversation item. They are mostly considered annuals that may be perennial in zones 9 and warmer. They are worth every penny for habit and the unique texture they provide.
When I wrote the column three years ago, Mezoo Trailing Red’s botanical name was “Dorotheanthus bellidiformis,” and you may find that name still connected to the plant. But remember earlier I told you Proven Winners had them both labeled as Aptenia cordifolia. You will find many tags and info sheets with that information. Remember what I couple of weeks ago: “Taxonomists have to eat too.” The taxonomists must be having a feast – a real See Winter, Page 12

Ultimate homeownership primer FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS
BPT - SPONSORED BY CHASE HOME LENDING

f you’ve never bought a home before, you may be overwhelmed by what you don’t know or concerned about what you think you do. Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone. To help, Chase Home Lending offers this essential primer on the key aspects of homeownership firsttime homebuyers should know before entering the market.
A home lending professional can be your guide Before you begin searching for your home, consult a home lending professional. They can help you get preapproved, navigate the homebuying market and review loan options.
Understanding the true cost of homeownership If you’re making the move from renting to owning, you may be focused on the opportunity to build home equity but perhaps overlook the added costs like property taxes and home maintenance. Taking the time to understand the full scope of homeownership can help you decide if the time is right to buy.
Explore educational resources for homebuyers If you’re a first-time buyer, the homebuying process can seem overwhelming. Luckily, there are many resources available to help boost your homebuying knowledge, such as how-to guides, webinars and podcasts. Pro tip: Make sure to check

A young couple celebrates outside their new home, marking the excitement of becoming homeowners for the first time. the Chase Homebuyer Education Center, where you’ll find answers to mortgage questions, useful tips for buying and maintaining a home and an Affordability Calculator that can help you determine how much home you can afford.
Know what factors determine the mortgage approval process During the mortgage approval
process, lenders carefully review several factors that determine if they’ll approve your mortgage and at what rate. Two important factors that influence their decision are your credit score and debt-to-income ratio. Your debt-to-income ratio – how much of your gross monthly income goes toward monthly debt payments like rent, student and auto loans and credit card payments – helps creditors assess your financial health and cred-
itworthiness. Lenders typically want to see that your DTI is low, as it tells them you’ll be able to manage your monthly payments with minimal issues. Your credit score helps determine the interest rate and other costs you pay on a mortgage loan. If your credit score is high, it tells lenders that you have paid your bills on time and that you are responsible with your money, making you a more attractive candidate for a home loan.
Understanding your options Interest rates and fees can vary widely across lenders. Taking the time to compare options from banks, credit unions and online loan providers can help secure a better rate. Don’t forget that loans come in all different shapes and sizes. Conventional loans aren’t your only option. There are programs like FHA and VA loans, plus other See Ultimate, Page 12

Winter From Page 7 smorgasbord. I’m not sure when the Aptenia cordifolia nomenclature took effect, but it has supposedly already been replaced. According to the Missouri Botanical Garden the new name is Mesembryanthemum cordifolium. That’s just what I would have named them. Just kidding! What I am not kidding about is that Mezoo Trailing Red Livingstone Daisy and Golden Cascade Baby Sun Rose can transform your designs. Your friends and neighbors will think that on the weekend when you were supposedly visiting Gran, you really went to a special class. The Young’s Plant Farm Annual Garden Tour showed me that while the spiller effect in mixed containers and baskets was indeed special, the ability to create a dazzling ground cover is certainly not to be overlooked. As you might expect, a drought and heat tolerant succulent needs plenty of sun and well-drained soil. Boggy soil is not your friend; after all they are from the carrot family.
options like fixed-rate mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) and low-down-payment loans that can provide greater flexibility and help with affordability. Taking the time to understand the full scope of homeownership can help you decide if the time is right to buy.
Stick to a monthly budget Determining and sticking to a monthly budget is crucial to successful homeownership. Beyond the mortgage payment, you’ll have to budget for repair and maintenance costs,
property taxes, insurance premiums and more. Consider “practicing” your monthly payment to prepare yourself for what it will be like to have a mortgage. Doing so can help you get a better sense of your budget so you can be financially and mentally prepared for the investment. Pro tip: Be sure to research property taxes and insurance premiums in the area where you plan to buy. These costs can significantly impact your overall budget and limit or expand your neighborhood options.
Don’t let a down payment get you down Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a 20% down payment to purchase a home. In fact, according to the National Asso-
Taking the time to understand the full scope of homeownership can help you decide if the time is right to buy. ciation of Realtors’ 2025 Profile of Home Buyers, the median down payment among first-time buyers was 10%. Also, keep in mind that some home loans may require only a smaller down payment of 3-5%.
