I have been getting more call for both prospective buyers and sellers than any other winter I've experienced. It is usually slower in the Boise market during the holidays and all the winter snow. But I've been much more busy than in past years. I hope this is a sign that the market is improving and 2010 will be a great year for all of us in the industry. Are any other REALTORS noticing this too?

new about fha having financial problems

Scott Gray, ABR, REALTOR (RE/MAX Capital City) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:55:24 -0800

The mortgage insurance premium now for FHA is over $2000 upfront plus a monthly fee. This should help their reserves for any mortgages that may default. It used to be a lot lower upfront premium and with some many new buyers going FHA, It seems like they will be collecting quite a bit of upfront money. Does this seem true to any other Realtors or lenders who have been following this?
