Haven't seen this in the greatest state of Northern California's "Wine Country". Doesn't help in our market. Cash is 25% of all sales and then conventional loans make up the difference with FHA and VA distant third and fourth place. I don't see the value. 4% for conventional fixed 30's? A 100% financed loan will get blown out of the water 95% of the time in our area. Perhaps if the Seller is a Vet you might squeak in a VA Loan.
