Integrity Home Loan of Central Florida reports mortgage loan volume up by more than $20 million this year
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Integrity Home Loan of Central Florida, Inc., reports its residential mortgage loan volume grew by more than $20 million during the first half of this year.
Matt Malloy, president of Integrity Home Loan, said the mortgage company provided more than 1,200 mortgage loans from January through June for a total volume of more than $140 million.
During the same period last year, Integrity Home Loan provided mortgage loans that totaled $120 million.
Recent news that mortgage interest rates are rising will likely spur the mortgage lending industry, Malloy said.
“Mortgage rates are incredibly low, and a slight rise will likewise inspire more home owners to refinance their mortgage loans before interest rates rise again,” Malloy said.
“In addition, prospective home buyers are likely to enter the market soon before interest rates rise again,” he added.
Malloy said he expects Integrity Home Loan to provide financing that totals $400 million this year in Central Florida — an increase of more than 50 percent over last year.
The Lake Mary based firm has opened new offices in Central Florida this year and plans to open expanded offices in South Florida, and new offices in Detroit and Virginia in the near future.

As Rents Continue to Rise, It’s Less Expensive to Own a Home than to Rent, Says Economic Report
TAMPA/ORLANDO/JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --- The recession has been turning things upside down for the past five years, so this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise: in many areas of Florida it’s getting to be cheaper to own a home than to rent.
That’s the word from John Burns, a real estate consultant and author of the May 2012 John Burns Regional Analysis and Reports for North and Central Florida.
Rent prices have risen for the past two quarters in Central Florida to an average of about $800 for a median-sized home, the report asserts.
That means it costs about $333 a month less to own a home than to rent one of a comparable size in the Tampa Bay area, $322 a month less in the Orlando area and $260 a month less in the Jacksonville area.
When the recession struck a wave of foreclosures hampered the housing industry in Florida, said Sean Strickler, vice president of sales for Pulte Homes in the North Florida region.
“Many former home owners were forced into the rental market and rental prices rose considerably,” Strickler explained.
“Meanwhile, housing prices decreased as thousands of foreclosed homes went on the market. Now we’ve seen the two lines cross--- when you factor in historically low interest rates it’s less expensive to own a home than it is to rent one of comparable size,” Strickler said.
And that doesn’t take into consideration lifestyle or amenities offered in new communities or the headaches involved with renting, Strickler said.
Pulte Homes is developing four communities in the Jacksonville region, including Forest Hammock at Oakleaf in Orange Park, Flagler Station and Bartram Park in south Jacksonville and Vizcaya near Jacksonville Beach.
Pulte Homes is developing four communities in the Orlando region, including Berkshire Park and Windermere Terrace in Windermere, Meadow Ridge in Ocoee and VillageWalk at Lake Nona in east Orlando.
Pulte Homes is developing four communities in the Tampa Bay region, including Trillium in Brooksville, Stonebrier Waterbridge in Lutz, Bonvida in Valrico and Harrison Ranch in Parrish.
Pulte Homes builds new single-family homes priced from under $100,000 to the $300s in the Tampa Bay region, from the low $200s in the Orlando region and the mid-$100s in the Jacksonville area.
Centex is developing four communities in the Tampa Bay region, including Starling at Fishhawk Ranch in Lithia, Magnolia Park in Riverview and Stonebrier Sweetgrass in Lutz.
Centex is developing three communities in the Orlando region, including Verde Ridge in Clermont, Sullivan Ranch in Mt. Dora and Legacy Park in Casselberry. Centex builds townhomes and single-family homes priced from the mid-$100s in the Orlando Region.
Centex builds new townhomes and single-family homes priced from the low-$100s in the Tampa Bay region.
Most major home builders---Pulte Homes and Centex included---feature amenities such as security gates, swimming pools, community clubhouses, playgrounds, and nature trails in communities designed for working families as well.
“There may never be a better time in our lifetime to own a new home. Anytime you can invest in your family’s future and give them a better quality of life at a lower monthly cost it makes the decision to buy new very clear,” Strickler said.
