Is this a Buyers Market?

While I agree that the interest rates are low, even that is now subject to change. Most First Time Home Buyers are unaware of how few homes are available for a clear cut loan. The prices are great but you have to pay cash or be an investor in order to capitalize on many of the very low priced homes.

I hear a lot of people talking about our market being a Buyers Market and the phrase “Now is the time to Buy” gets thrown around a lot these days. What is not being recognized is that Less and Less homes can qualify for clear cut Financing, even though there is more and more inventory being released

Now IS the time to buy but be aware if you are a first time home buyer that your dream home may not be available to you. Make sure that you talk to your loan company, because the home you want to put an offer on may not be eligible with your loan. It is very important that you educate your buyers, otherwise you or your clients might be quite disappointed.

Information on HUD Homes

HUD Homes are very interesting venue of home buying and I am no expert but I know many and I found out some interesting things about HUD homes that I thought I would share.

Why Should I Buy a House

Waiting for homes to go down with the Interest rates creeping up is not always wise. As Interest rates climb, this will create a larger home purchase for you in the long run. It has been reported that the 30 year fixed Loan may go away soon and that will create unnecessary challenges for Buyers in this market. 

The Buyers who seemingly missed out and could not buy a few short years ago , are now buying those same homes for HUGE decreased values, Now!  Rents are rising dramatically. So there is no better time to buy, while mortgages are at an all time low. The extremely attractive dollar values for homes gives you the opportunity for equity building, not your Landlord.  Investors are buying the homes. Why? So they can rent those homes out and build equity at the same time.

The question is when is a good time to buy? Two years ago was a good time to buy. Last year was a better time to buy. Now is the BEST time to buy.

With the foreclosure crisis, you may have noticed a vacant home or two on your block. Rather than see the home free-fall into disrepair, push local officials to take action before the untended house lowers the value of your own home.

By: Donna Fuscaldo
Published: January 15, 2010

With foreclosure rescue scams widespread as more homeowners fall behind on mortgage payments, be smart if you seek help.

A record high 2.8 million properties were hit with foreclosure notices in 2009, putting even more Americans at risk of facing foreclosure rescue scams. Homeowners who fall behind on mortgage payments need to tread carefully when seeking assistance, since foreclosure rescue scams come in many guises. A day spent researching legitimate options, from a mortgage modification or principal forbearance to a short sale or deed-in-lieu, could keep you from becoming a scam victim.
