Found your dream home but yours is still listed?

Bay Area Real EstateIn today’s higher end real estate environment there are a lot of good deals out there but things can become a bit complicated when one is trying to sell a one million dollar plus residence while looking to move up. The jumbo mortgage market offerings via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are currently capped at 625,000 in most Bay Area cities. While there is a fair amount of true jumbo loans available underwriting is very strict as most of these institutions are keeping these loans “on their books”.

Situation: Your house is currently on the market and you have found the perfect home to purchase. You want to make the best deal possible and do not want to have to write a contingent offer.

Solution: There are mortgage products available where, as long as your home is listed and you have an additional six months cash reserves to cover the payments, the debt on your current residence will not be counted against you when qualifying for the new loan. This would afford you the opportunity to write the cleanest offer possible.

There is a perfect home in Alamo for those who are looking to move up:

Doug I'm working / waiting on a relocation couples home to sale in Texas so they can buy a home here. The wife is staying behind with the for sale home, husband is working and renting a small apartment here and getting use to the lay of the land.  They know what they are looking for and will be ready to be ready to buy their Albuquerque home ASAP when the Texas home sales.  It's a hurry up and wait for this couple.

That's my goal Renee!

That sounds like a familiar situation John. When I was growing up my dad was transferred every two years or so.

This is indeed thinking outside the box, Doug.  I bet most people don't know about this mortgage option.  Alamo home buyers and sellers would well served to consult you when making a move.

Thanks very much Jane. This is just one option available and I will be bringing a few more forward in the coming days. High end buyers just don't fit "into the box" for the most part but there is financing available to meet their varied needs.
