Property information
If you are considering buying a home that is a short sale, there are some things you should be aware of. First of all a short sale is when a seller owes more money to the bank than they will get from the sale of their home. In this case, you actually negotiate the price and conditions with the present owner, since they still own the home. Then the contract has to go to the bank for approval. There are no guarantess that they will agree. Before that can happen a whole package of information has to be at the bank including 2 or 3 estimates of value of the home, all of the financial information about the seller and more. If the whole package is not there, more than likely the file will go to the bottom of the pile. A seller should have an atty. dealing with the bank or a loss mitigation specialist.
Even if everything is there, it can take a very long time to get an answer. Until the bank has given the okay I personally would not put out any money to do inspections and I would give myself an out in the offer in case you get tired of waiting around for an answer.
If you have the time to wait that is fine, but if you don't, there are no guarantees that the deal will ever be finalized. The worst one I heard was from someone in my office, who had a contract that took a year to close.
For all of you Buyers and Sellers who are looking to take advantage of the tax credit program. time is running out. The word on the street is that Congress will not be offering the tax credit program again, so April 30th is the deadline to have a contract in place. You have to close by June 30th.
I am talking about the $8000 rebate for 1st time homebuyers, including buyers who have not owned a home in the past 3 years and the $6500 tax rebate for sellers who have lived in their homes for 5 of the past 8 years.
If you are not looking now you may be out of luck. You really should have a contract by March 30th to allow time for inspections, negotiation of inspection issues just in case it doesn' work out and you have to find another home.
If you are looking for an agent to help you through the whole process, please give me a call or send me an email.

Obama signed into law today the new homebuyer tax credit of $8000, which will basically extend the present tax credit, which was due to expire on Nov. 30th to April 30th, 2010. You have to have a contract in place by that time, although there is a grace period to close by June 30th, 2010. Income limits were also raised to $125,000 for single tax payers and $225,000 for a couple. The maximum house price is $800,000. If a buyer has not owned a home for the past 3 years they also qualify for the tax credit.
The credit has also been expanded to give a credit of $6500 to home sellers who are buying another home. They have to have lived in their home for 5 of the last 8 years to qualify. Income limits are the same as is the maximum house price.
There is no need to repay the amount unless you sell before 3 years.
If you have any questions, please fell free to give me a call. Some advice would be, if you are considering doing this don't wait until the last minute. In the past 1 1/2 to 2 months homes have been flying off the market for 1st time homebuyers. Also interest rates right now are still great! I read somewhere this week that they may be headed up at the beginning of next year. Also there are more laws coming up in January as far as FHA, which may make buying more difficult.
