The Wall Street Journal indicated that Legislation introduced in Congress Wednesday would expand the tax credit now limited to first-time homebuyers to any purchaser of a home and increase the maximum available to $15,000.

pocono lake: Federal Reserve's Beige Book - 06/11/09 09:02 AM
The Washington Post said:
 
The Federal Reserve's Beige Book report released Wednesday found five of the Fed's 12 regions reporting improved business activity. Most reported an increase in home sales and some stabilization in new-home construction, albeit at low levels. Good news!
The survey, which is based on phone interviews with businesses in all parts of the country, concluded that the recession is receding. The sense of improvement leaves observers wondering what the Fed will do about interest rates when it meets in two weeks.The Fed has left interest rates near zero for months, but fears that this approach will … (0 comments)

pocono lake: Responding to Appraisals That Miss the Mark - 06/11/09 08:50 AM
The Wall Street Journal  said:
What can be done about appraisals missing the mark? If a home appraisal comes in dramatically lower than the agreed-upon sale price? Good Question.
Lenders will consider an appeal, but sellers must provide them with evidence.Start by examining the appraisal carefully for errors. If the appraiser missed one of the bathrooms, miscalculated the square footage, or didn't note the garage, the seller has grounds for an appeal.Look at the comparables: Is the home used as a comparison in a different and more challenged school district? Is the comparable next door to something undesirable? If possible, pull … (2 comments)

pocono lake: Contracts Up 1st Time in 8 Years - 06/02/09 09:53 PM
 
The national news this morning had more good news for our industry.
They reported that the National Association of Realtors reported yesterday its seasonally adjusted index of sales contracts signed in April increased by 6.7% which far exceeding analysts forecasts. Its the biggest monthly jump since October 2001, and pending sales rose 9.2 percent.
They indicated rates remaining low and the $8,000 tax credit is what continues to be the motivator and may signal the slump is ending.
Sounds like good news to me!
