A New Bedford MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase. A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.

Mortgage Rate Forecast for September 1, 2010 - Improving, or...? Here are some of the events affecting mortgage rates today: What Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) Are Doing Today: The price of the FNMA 30-Year 4.0% MBS coupon opened at 103.56 this morning - the same as yesterday's close. At 9:30 AM, the 4.0% MBS coupon was trading at 103.47 - down 3/32 from its opening. Remember, on mortgage backed securities (MBSs), as the price goes down, the yield goes up - and so do mortgage rates. I expect that mortgage rates will be up to 0.125 points worse in price this morning as compared to yesterday afternoon.

Who is eligible to claim the $7,500 tax credit?First time home buyers purchasing any kind of home-new or resale-are eligible for the tax credit. To qualify for the tax credit, a home purchase must occur on or after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009. For the purposes of the tax credit, the purchase date is the date when closing occurs. What is the definition of a first-time home buyer?The law defines "first-time home buyer" as a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase. For married taxpayers, the law tests the homeownership history of both the home buyer and his/her spouse. For example, if you have not owned a home in the past three years but your spouse has owned a principal residence, neither you nor your spouse qualifies for...

With prices at all time lows, I am surprised that there are people out there still paying the rents that they are paying. Let me ask you a few questions to figure out if you could qualify for financing. Do you have a credit score of 580 or more? Do you have 0-3% to put down on a $70,000 house?(yes there are some that cheap and cheaper) Do you have a full time job? Are you currently paying more than $600 per month or more for rent? If you answered yes to these questions then you should own your own home instead of paying for someone else's. To find out more feel free to contact me directly at elopez@vantagerealtygrp.com

This is the single most important piece of advice I can share with people facing a potential foreclosure is to be proactive. A lot of people out there get down on themselves and feel too embarrassed to ask for help. The fact of the matter is if you are proactive in the beginning, not only can you avoid foreclosure, you will be given a number of options. Whether it is assisting in refinancing, negotiating a short sale, or putting a freeze on future payments, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much your lender will be willing to help you. Regardless of the outcome, if you are proactive early you can potentially come out of the situation completely unharmed.

These past few weeks were amazing for Showings as well as Offer submissions! I believe it may be the result of the recent decrease in mortgage rates that have caused such an increase in buyer activity! Or maybe it's because the Holidays are over & it's back to home-searching for most buyers? Let's take a look at the numbers:Let's start with the inventory: Team Silva is currently averaging about 50 Exclusively Listed REO properties for Sale. (We currently have over 130 assignments in pre-marketing phase, but only 50 of those are currently active & for sale on the market) Utilizing our Property showings report through a centralized showing service we're able to easily view a report with all of our scheduled appointments/showings: TOTAL# OF SHOWINGS: JAN 18TH - JAN 20: - 47 SHOWINGS & COUN...
