Disney back at NH
New condos in DC
Washington Business Journal s Michael Neibauer reports today that the deal between Peterson Cos. and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is back on again. Disney backed out of their plan to build a 15-acre, 500 room resort hotel at National Harbor but withdrew last year citing poor timing and its planned resort expansions elsewhere. The ink's not dry yet, so more details to come.
This news is just the latest in a string of ups and downs for Peterson's beleaguered National Harbor project. Most recently, P.G. County Exec Rushern Baker proposed a … (0 comments)

DC To Update Construction Codes
New condos in DC
The District’s Construction Codes Coordinating Board (CCCB) uses the International Code Council (ICC) standard, updated every third year, as the basis for its codes, but DC hasn’t kept up with changes since 2006. So the 2012 code will bring DC back current with the ICC’s sustainable building requirements, among others.
The Construction Codes Coordinating Board will review and amend the new codes at public meetings and the approved versions presented for review by the D.C. Council before being adopted and put into effect by March 1, 2013.

DC Now a Seller’s Market?
New condos in DC
Most buyers and sellers of residential real estate don’t follow the market as closely as do real estate professionals, and when they read real estate news, it is often a national profile. While it’s great to know what’s going on in the national marketplace, real estate transactions are local, so buyers and sellers will want to note what’s going on in their immediate market.
In Washington D.C., the market has been the exception to the national rule since the mid-2006 market decline began. Not only did D.C. have fewer short sales … (2 comments)

dc real estate: Payroll Tax Cut = +G Fees Over Life of Loans
- 12/27/11 12:38 PM
While the FHA anti-flip waiver was being extended in hopes of strenthening the housing market, policymakers have raised the cost of homeownership for buyers in order to pay for the payroll tax holiday.
This 10-basis-point increase in the G-fees (guarantee fees) levied on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac transactions will add thousands of dollars to buyers' loans over the life of their mortgages. The new fees will not be used to mitigate risk, which is the purpose of guarantee fees. Instead, this new tax exacted for 30 years on nearly every borrower for the next 10 years will go straight to the U.S. Treasury to … (2 comments)

dc real estate: FHA Flips OK Through End 2012
- 12/27/11 11:29 AM
Acting FHA Commissioner Carol Galante has announced another extension of the FHA temporary anti-flip waiver.
FHA regulations prohibit insuring a mortgage on a home owned by the seller for less than 90 days (except under specific circumstances), but the rule is (again) waived through December 31, 2012, unless otherwise extended or withdrawn by FHA.
The regulation was waived in 2010 through Jan. 31, 2011, then extended again through the end of 2011.
The December 2011 extension will allow buyers to continue to utilize FHA-insured financing for HUD-owned and REO properties, in addition to resale properties. Experts say this … (4 comments)

SW Waterfront Development Bill Moves Past CBO Stage
Southwest Waterfront Development News
Additional development on the land surrounding the Maine Avenue Fish Market will not directly affect the federal government, according to a Congressional Budget Office cost estimate on the Southwest waterfront issued earlier this week.
The estimate relates to the bill H.R. 2297, introduced by sponsor Eleanor Holmes Norton in June of 2011:
H.R. 2297 would amend the District of Columbia Official Code to transfer all federal right, title, and interest in the Southwest waterfront area to the District of Columbia. The legislation would authorize the District of Columbia to … (0 comments)
