Exceptional real estate investment in Phoenix, HOW bout that FHA buyer

Phoenix, Arizona is one of the lowest priced housing markets in the West, with exceptional real estate investment opportunities.

But..... How bout that FHA BUYER!!! or shall we call them discouraged qualified buyers.

Not only are we seeing 7-10 offers on every decent low priced REO property, but of those offers about 50% of them are all cash. This has become a problem for the First time FHA buyer, who are constantly losing out to these cash bids.

Trying to sell lender owned homes to FHA buyers can be very frustrating, very time consuming and an extremely long process. Most of the REO listing in the MLS will say they accept FHA financing but when they have other offers for either Cash or Conventional terms it seem like the FHA offer is on the bottom of the pile.

Hopefully as banks release more of their foreclosed properties and the competition lessens as we approach the holidays, sellers will again start looking at FHA buyers. It's a shame that so many will miss out on the $8000 tax credit, lets hope for an extension there.

The clock is ticking toward the expiration date on the special $8,000

The clock is ticking toward the expiration date on the special $8,000 new home buyer credit currently offered as part of the government’s emergency economic stimulus legislation. Lets hope the provision is amended or renewed, you only have until the end of November to completely finalize their purchases of your New Home.

Keep in mind that the government and the IRS define first time home buyers in a broader sense. You may still be entitled to the tax perk even if you have already owned a home in your life or have bought and sold dozens of them.

That’s because the official definition of a first time buyer is one who has not owned or co-owned their principle residence during the past three consecutive years.

The time it takes typically to get from point a to point b is about 30 to 45 days. And that is only if they are buying a home that is not a short sale.

So contact Linda Wieczorek, lesbian real estate agents your real estate marketplace for the LGBT community.

It’s a Jungle – Being a Buyer in this Market - "feeding frenzy"

For Buyer's who are trying to make sense of today's crazy real estate market.
IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE! a "feeding frenzy" and the survivors only reap the profits. With multiple offers, contract acceptance times running anywhere from a few days to months, appraisals not coming in and with the loan programs changing almost daily. This is a market where only the well thought out plan will survive. FHA Buyers mine as well wrestle an alligator. The Feeding frenzy is here and has been here,with the majority of homes available being short sales, all with multiple offers over asking, what's a buyer to do? Especially at the lower end of our market There is no room for slow decision makers, or indecisiveness if you want a home.

With all of that said, it doesn’t mean that it’s a bad time to buy,it's a GREAT time to buy, interest rates are low and the market is affordable more then ever.The reality is, there are still a lot more short sales and foreclosures and the banks are not really making the effort to make the process any easier, which is why the market, for many, is so complicated.

Now more than ever it is important to have a Realtor you can trust, one that has your best interests at heart, an alligator wrestler, a CNE Certified Negotiation EXPERT.
