<p class="MsoNormal">Property Sellers in Virginia were recently given a nice gift! Actually a reversion back to the way it was in 2007, reducing the Grantor's tax back to 1%. It was a shame to see how a transportation tax could affect real estate once again, because of the ineptitude of the politicians in Virginia.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Supreme Court of Virginia ruled last month that the legislation creating the Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Authority and giving it the power to collect taxes was unconstitutional. In the real estate world, the related fee of interest was is the Congestion Relief Fee that charged the seller $4.00 per thousand of the sales price or assessed value whichever was the higher amount, together with the existing Grantor's tax of 1%. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">With the new tax increase to 5%, a property owner selling a $500,000 home would pay a tax of $2,500 in 2008 instead of $500 prior to 1/1/08. The Grantor's tax is now at 1% again, although watch out for paying tax on the <u>assessed value if it’s higher than the sales price,</u> as this is a newer development, as sales prices routinely goes below the assessed value. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">House Bill 1578 requires the settlement agent involved in the real estate transaction to return the congestion relief fee to the individual or individuals who paid the fee.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you or someone you know just paid the fee (settlements closing from January 1 to February 29, 2008) you need to notify the settlement agent in writing of the correct mailing address.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Here is how the refund process will work: The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority will have until May 1, 2008 to return the funds to the Clerks of the Circuit Court in the affected localities. The Clerks return the Congestion Relief Fees to the Settlement Agents within 60 days from the effective date of this legislation. Upon receipt of funds from the Clerk of Court, the Settlement Agent will have 90 days to return the funds to the proper party. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Can’t the lawmakers in Virginia agree to just come up with a more equitable tax, and call it a tax instead of a relief fee! How about reinstating the car tax and leave real estate alone!</p> Buyers will enjoy some awesome financing opportunities in Northern Virginia!http://activerain.com/blogsview/425532/Buyers-will-enjoy-some2008-03-16T14:01:18ZCasey O'Neal (RE/MAX Allegiance)
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>$729,750 is the New Maximum Loan for FHA, Fannie and Freddie! </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> On 3/6/08 FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac announced that they have raised loan limits set by the economic stimulus bill.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> FNMA and FHLMC will only purchase jumbo-conforming mortgages that are originated through December 31, 2008, and that are secured by one-unit properties. Mortgage lenders will assist customers with implementation by providing reference materials including an online loan limit reference tool and guidance on our loan limits based on a property's geography, both of which are available as of this writing in mid March.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> Prior to the change, FHA was capped at $362,790 and Fannie and Freddie had loan ceilings of $417,000. Before the credit crunch, rates on jumbo loans were about .25 percent higher. Now with tighter credit, jumbo rates are as much as a 1% higher. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <strong> </strong><strong>The FHA plan will open up some great opportunities. Here are some of the highlights:</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal">*FHA loans can allow a credit score as low as 620</p> <p class="MsoNormal">*The borrower has to put in 3% of the sales price into the transaction. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">*All 3% can come from a gift if necessary. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">*You need no cash reserves.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">*Qualification ratios can go as high as 50% for debt to income ratio.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">*The seller can pay up to 6% of the sales price toward closing costs; however the borrower still MUST put 3% into the transaction.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">*All single family homes and townhouses are eligible for FHA financing. Condos must be approved for FHA.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">*FHA does not have an issue with declining markets (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">*This will really help with first time buyers, or buyers who have slightly below average credit and little cash.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">*FHA mortgages are consumer friendly loans made by private banks that are insured by the government, making them attractive because the government guarantee enables lenders to easily sell off the loans.</p> Alexandria City Real Estate Market Conditions - February 2008http://activerain.com/blogsview/417538/Alexandria-City-Real-Estate2008-03-11T11:31:15ZCasey O'Neal (RE/MAX Allegiance)

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><strong>Big and Meaningful Changes for VA Loans </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><strong>Will Result In Huge Benefits for Eligible Persons</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> VA recently announced that they will be providing financing for eligible military personnel <strong><u>with loan amounts up to $1,000,000</u></strong>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> This is a bold and impressive step for VA and of course requires a deeper understanding of these changes. VA loans are still limited to $417,000 <u>for 100% financing</u>. However, with a calculated down payment, VA will now fund loans for up to $1,000,000 AND they will allow you to add the VA funding fee on top of the max loan amount calculation (this is brand new for the VA).</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> If a veteran were to buy a $500,000 home, the first $417,000 would require no down payment. For the remaining $83,000, the veteran would need to make a down payment of $20,750. All together the veteran would be making a 4.15% down payment on a $500,000 home. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> There are also VA funding fees paid at closing that range from 1.5% to 3.3% of the loan amount.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> Contact me for further details, and I can refer you to some competent mortgage professionals who can answer specifics on this program. </p> An Impressive 3 BR Townhome Near East Falls Church Metrohttp://activerain.com/blogsview/265343/An-Impressive-3-BR2007-11-07T13:04:31ZCasey O'Neal (RE/MAX Allegiance)
