Obama's Mortgage Rescue Plan - 03/26/09 09:19 PM
President Barack Obama’s Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, is an effort to overcome what Obama called “a crisis unlike we’ve ever known.”
The question that has come to mind for many of us is, who can get help through this program?
Some people with high payments will be able to have their loans modified to get lower interest rates.  If your monthly payment on your primary home is greater than 31 percent of your monthly gross income, there’s a good chance you could qualify. It also depends on whether your lender participates in the program.
Others, with mortgages owned or guaranteed by Fannie … (0 comments)

Buying Your First Home Takes Time - 03/26/09 09:03 PM

Research alone on how to buy a home is a big time commitment. If you pick up a book on the subject, it might be helpful, but might overwhelm you with detail. Many informative websites have short, sharp home-buying tips that sacrifice depth and introduce pop-up invitations to apply for mortgages, credit reports, or real estate listings.
When you buy your first home the government offers big tax incentives; banks work to loan out massive mortgages while many Realtors®, will compete to get new clients.
What many first-timer buyers do not realize, is that they are doing the government, the banks, the … (0 comments)

DID YOU EVER WONDER WHAT HAPPENS AT A FORECLOSURE SALE? - 03/20/09 08:58 AM

A foreclosure sale is the final stage of the foreclosure process, at which the property in foreclosure is sold at public auction to the highest bidder. The sale is conducted by a court-appointed referee. The referee begins the sale by reading aloud the Terms of Sale; the Terms of Sale is the document that acts as the contract of sale between the referee and the high bidder and sets forth the rights, responsibilities and obligations of both the referee and the high bidder. Once the referee has read the Terms of Sale, the referee begins to accept bids for the property. … (0 comments)

THE DEFINITION OF A SHORT SALE - 03/19/09 09:32 PM
If you see a price listed for a home that you think is too low for the neighborhood, ask your agent to call the listing agent to find out if the home is a short sale.
Making an offer on a pre-foreclosure, short sale home is not as simple as you may think, and very few can close in 30 days or less. Many people have waited 4 to 6 months to close on a short sale, sometimes longer.
A short sale means the seller’s lender is accepting a discounted payoff to release an existing mortgage. Just because a property is listed with … (0 comments)

MORTGAGE RATES DOWN AND LIKELY TO FALL FURTHER. TIME TO BUY? - 03/19/09 01:49 PM
The Associated Press reported today that rates on 30-year mortgages plunged to their lowest levels since January and are poised to fall further after the Federal Reserve launched a new effort to prop up the housing market.  
They are reporting that Freddie Mac, the giant mortgage finance company, said that average rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages dropped to 4.98 percent this week.  
These rate quotes were given before the Fed said Wednesday that they would pump 1.2 trillion into the economy in an effort to lower rates on mortgages.  That is expect to lower rates even further.
