Mortgage Payments in Texas Way Down Since 2006

June 6, 2014
Published by Sandcastle Homes

Mortgage payments were way out of control during the boom era, but new data suggests they’ve simmered down considerably.

During the housing boom years, home prices were not the only numerical value relating to housing that spiraled out of control; in addition, mortgage payments, and the cut that they took from consumers’ incomes, soared to similar heights.

Thankfully, the market correction that took place in the ensuing years has brought those payments back down to earth, and a new numbers from Black Knight Financial Services have done a great job of showing just how pronounced that market correction has been.

Just here in Texas, for instance, the share of income devoted to mortgage payments fell from 25 percent in July 2006 to 17 percent in Feb. 2014; that’s a 32 percent drop!<p>

"Sandcastle did an amazing job with my house. They came through on everything they promised. Jose Salas, the construction manager, is very helpful even after we closed on the house. He goes above and beyond. Getting to meet the owner, Salomon, during the closing was a great experience as many other builders don’t do this. We love our house and the quality of it!!"
Enrique and Judith
"We just moved into our new home by Sandcastle. Since the beginning of the process the whole Sandcastle team paid great attention to our requests and responded rapidly. We were lucky to get in contract in time for us to choose colors, kitchen design, finishes and other and all our requests were reflected in our new house. At the end of the closing, the team always kept the same great attitude towards us and helped us with any question or request. We would say one of the greatest things about Sandcastle is that they really back up what they sell: best price, best service, best quality in town. We ended up extremely pleased with our new house."
Andres and Marcela
"I just moved into my new Sandcastle home and I think it’s a wonderful place to live. They have been very helpful, particularly Lynette and Steve. From the owner Mike Salomen down, it has been a truly positive experience. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to buy a new home that is built of high quality to consider this home builder."
