WELCOME TO THE NEW FHA LOAN.   VIRGINIA REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITY FOR HOME BUYERS.

HAVING TROUBLE GETTING A CONVENTIONAL HOME LOAN APPROVED?  You bet!  Is the home you wish to buy in a "declining market"?  What's a "declining market"?  What's the solution?  FHA loan limits up to $729,750 for Bristow, Dale City, Dumfries, Gainesville, Haymarket, Manassas, Manassas Park, Woodbridge.  All of Prince William County is covered by the new FHA loan limit of $729,750.  AND the down payment is 3%, AND you may qualify for down payment assistance. 

DECLINING MARKET.  Mortgage companies are smart.  While home prices in the Virginia real estate market have come down significantly, conventional mortgages have become harder and harder for buyers to get approved.  5% has become 10% and 10% has become 20%.  In designated "declining market" areas, areas where prices have declined, underwriting and appraisal guidelines are much more difficult than in the past 5 years.  Mortgage companies want to protect themselves from the risk of making loans on homes whereby the market value is likely to decline.  They protect themselves by limiting the amount of money they will lend on properties where there security (the property) will decline in value. 

What is the solution?

                                                                                                                               

YES!  3% Down loans are available with FHA FinancingBUT, THAT'S NOT ALL.  If you qualify, you may be able to obtain DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE from the Down Payment Assistance programs offered by the Nehemiah Program.  Wait!  There's more.  With FHA Financing, you may receive up to 6% closing cost assistance from the Seller.  Of course, the seller must be willing to make this contribution.  In today's real estate market, our buyers agents are negotiating contracts with helpful closing cost contributions to help our buyers with costly settlement costs.

                                   

                               Homes in Manassas on acreage are eligible for FHA financing with 3% down.

Hi Lenn - I just forwarded this link to my daughter to get her excited about buying a house.   The FHA limits are lower there, of course.  Thanks.

Virginia.  They may be lower than here, but I'll bet they are higher than they were.

Yes, Lenn, they sure are - and she is on the Gulf Coast, prices went sky high for a few months after Katrina, she could have sold her undamaged home for 250K right after, but kept it because she didn't want her tenants to be homeless.  She sold it later for about 115K.  She has a good heart.  She will have no problem finding a home under FHA's new limit - I am going to find her a realtor there when she is ready.  Thanks, as always for your high quality posts.
