HUD Is Changing Condo Rules For FHA Financing
HUD just changed its condominium rules again, and there’s both good news and sobering news for investors and developers tucked away in the revisions. On the one hand, HUD relaxed its previously controversial requirement that at least fifty percent of the units in a project be sold before FHA could insure loans for new buyers on individual units.
Under the amended rule, FHA financing will be available in projects where at least 30 percent of the existing units have been sold. That change is important, say developers and investors, because many newly-constructed projects have had trouble pre-selling units in the current tough real estate market. (more…)

Housing Industry Greets Extended Tax Credit
The popular first-time homebuyer tax credit that was scheduled to end this month is being extended. President Obama signed a bill that extends the up to $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers for seven months. An additional incentive for the housing industry is for homeowners. The $6,500 tax credit will benefit some existing homeowners who are also buyers and whose primary residence has been owned, used, sold, or being sold within at least five consecutive years of the previous eight years. The legislation is part of a bill that also extends unemployment benefits.
Bruce Walker, Director of Marketing, RealEstate.com Reportedly, the credit would be available for people earning up to $125,000 a year and couples making up to $225,000 per year. This is an increase from the current income limits of $75,000 and $150,000, respectively. The extension of the first-time homebuyer credit lasts through June of next year. Buyers must sign a contract by the end of April 2010. (more…)

A Few Hours Effort May Help Sell Your Home
A lot of things can be fixed fairly quickly like a leaky faucet, marks on walls, or a cluttered room. But ugly, patchy, lawn can be a sign of lack of care which conveys a message instantly to potential buyers. And if that poor lawn is in the front yard, an ill impression of the overall home can be formed before buyers even step inside. A home that looks appealing from the outside in is what buyers are shopping for these days. Bidding wars and flipping homes aren’t the norm right now.
So buyers are shopping the often large inventory and comparing everything. What they see when they approach your home may stay with them through their entire search. Remember the adage, “A first impression is often the last impression.” In market conditions where inventory is still high a good look at your grass and the image it presents is vital. (more…)
