Mortgage Financing:  Pre-approval for financing is the first step in the home purchase process. Buyers, including investors, need to have a lender letter in hand when they submit an offer on a property. Buyers should be prepared to fully document their income and obligations. Ask us for a referral if you do not have an existing relationship with a mortgage lender.

The FHA loan limit for Montgomery County and Frederick County is $729,750.  FHA financing has a minimum cash requirement of 3.5% of the purchase price.  FHA Streamlined 203(k) financing allows borrowers to include up to $35,000 of home improvements in the mortgage amount. The limit for FHA reverse mortgages: $625,000.  Age 62+ seniors use reverse mortgages when they need to eliminate mortgage payments.

Special notice on FHA financing. Monthly mortgage insurance rates are scheduled to increase. FHA will make the premium fee changes on all new case numbers effective October 4, 2010. This will increase monthly mortgage payments and will increase the income needed to qualify. Talk with your loan officer if you are planning to use FHA financing. Buyers that are ready to purchase can save by purchasing now rather than later.

All of the available listings of homes for sale may be viewed on MRIS, the regional multiple listing service, on Homes Prospector at www.roykelley.com  

Please contact us with your questions on the residential real estate market. Buyers and sellers should understand the impact of short sale listings and REO properties.

Your referrals of friends and family members will always be appreciated.
