FHA Loan Volume is Soaring: In 2007, the number of government-backed FHA loans issued in the Sacramento Region was 649. In 2008, this number soared to 8,998 loans. In 2009, this number will increase again. With this in mind, I looked back at all of the transactions I have been involved in, in 2009, and found 67% of the buyers used FHA loans. FHA loans are primarily used by people who can't afford a big down payment, or have credit score issues. FHA buyers are only required to make a down payment equal to 3.50% of the purchase price, and can (0 comments)

Keep an Eye on December 1st, 2009: The $8,000 tax credit currently available to First Time Home Buyers (defined as those who have not owned a home for the past three years) expires on December 1st, 2009. Because it usually takes around 45 days to close escrow on a house after a contract is signed, buyers have very little time left to act. As of Tuesday, Sept. 15, there are only 76 days left before the credit ends. There has been a recent push, to get Congress to either extend the program, or create a new program that would be available (0 comments)
At the end of July in 2009, there were 285 homes for sale in Folsom, CA. The breakdown: 171 "Non-Distressed" listings, 97 "Short Sale" listings and 17 "Bank Owned" listings. In the same month, there were 48 Non-Distressed sales, 5 Short Sales and 20 Bank Owned sales that closed escrow. What does this tell us? 28% of the Non-Distressed inventory sold, 5% of the Short Sale inventory sold and 117% of the Bank Owned inventory sold. Bottom line: If you get foreclosed on, the bank will unload your home quick and cheap. If you want to avoid foreclosure with a short (2 comments)

- 07/23/09 12:36 PM
In the spring of 2004, while having a cup of coffee with my wife, she prompted a discussion that included the hustle-n-bustle of the Bay Area, it's high cost of living, and her desire to live in a smaller city that was known for family values and that would be conducive to raising our new-born son and (hopefully) growing family. After investigation of the Sacramento area (including Rocklin, Roseville, Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Rancho Cordova, El Dorado hills and Folsom), we came to the conclusion that Folsom was the next city we would call home. As the old saying goes, "to each their own," (0 comments)

National & Regional Snap-shot: A slew of new government programs were enacted in November in an ongoing effort to "right the ship."

National & Regional Snap-shot: The election has come and gone and the national focus has returned to the economy, the credit crisis and the slumping housing market. The roller coaster ride continued with 30yr fixed mortgage rates rising from 6.07%* at the beginning of October to 6.47%* at month's end. No sooner than Paulson and Bernanke talked voters and Congress into the "mortgage bailout," it evolved (was switched) to a different plan of injecting money directly into banks and other financial institutions as opposed to buying mortgages through reverse auctions. Officially, $125 billion was given to the nations 9 largest banks (0 comments)

National & Regional Snap-shot: The presidential election and Hurricane Ike became after thoughts in September as the credit crisis on Wall Street spread to Main Street. The hope for an election year rally in the stock market has been put on hold, as the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department have scrambled to utilize every tool in their arsenal (including getting congress to authorize a $700 Billion bailout) to calm the markets and keep the American economy flowing.
