What is a Short Sale? A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners who need to sell, and who owe more on their homes than they are worth. In the past, it was rare for a bank or lender to accept a short sale. Today, however, due to overwhelming market changes, banks and lenders have become much more negotiable when it comes to these transactions. Recent changes in corporate policy and the Obama administration have also improved the chances of getting a short sale approved.   But to be technical, here's a more official definition: A homeowner is 'short' when the amount owed on his/her property is higher than current market value. A short sale occurs when a negotiation is entered into with the homeowner's mortgage company (or companies) to accept less than the full balance of t... 01/31/2011

If you are one of the many homeowners who have fallen behind on your mortgage payments and you don't see any way to avoid foreclosure, a short sale may offer you the least painful way to resolve the situation. A short sale is when a lender agrees to accept a mortgage payoff amount less than what is owed in order to facilitate a sale of the home by a financially distressed owner. The lender forgives the remaining balance of the loan. What's in it for a seller? Obviously, the ideal scenario would be that you magically catch up on your mortgage payments and keep your home. But for an increasing number of Americans, that is not a realistic possibility, so it's to your advantage to take an active role. This is what a short sale is all about -- resolving the problem, as opposed to simply hid... 11/24/2010

Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Rural Housing Preservation and Stabilization Act of 2010 (H.R. 5017).  Through this legislation, the guarantee fee in the USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing (GRH) Program may be raised to offset any need for Congressional appropriations.  Additionally, H.R. 5017 would authorize USDA Rural Development to guarantee up to $30 billion in loans in Fiscal Year 2010.  This would represent an additional $18 billion in loan making authority for the remainder of this fiscal year. Before these changes can be implemented, similar legislative action will need to occur in the U.S. Senate. Following this action in the House, the USDA Rural Development National Office sent an announcement that stated: "Depending upon Congressional activity with the pro... 04/28/2010

The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 has extended the tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence. The tax credit now applies to sales occurring on or after January 1, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010. However, in cases where a binding sales contract is signed by April 30, 2010, a home purchase completed by June 30, 2010 will qualify. For sales occurring after November 6, 2009, the Act establishes income limits of $125,000 for single taxpayers and $225,000 for married couples filing joint returns. The income limits for sales occurring on or after January 1, 2009 and on or before November 6, 2009, are $75,000 for single taxpayers and $150,000 for married taxpayers filing joint returns. for more informatio... 12/08/2009

It's been about a year since the financial meltdown including:  Uncle Sam's takeover of Fannie and Freddie, the sale of Merril Lynch, and the downfall of Lehman Brothers.  Though signs of optimism in the housing market are looming. In the Twin Cities Market, pending sales are up for over 14 consecutive months vs this time last year.  Even though home prices are down, so is inventory, and buyers are coming out of the woodwork to cash in.  Is this directly linked the the $8k first time home buyer credit?  No one knows, but it's sure seems like the housing market is well past the bottom and I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Here's where we are today:  In effort to stimulate the housing demand, Obama bumped the $7500 tax credit (which required a repayment) up to $8,000 an... 10/09/2009

First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Frequently Asked Questions In 2008, Congress enacted a $7500 tax credit designed to be an incentive for first-time homebuyers to purchase a home. The credit was designed as a mechanism to decrease the over-supply of homes for sale. For 2009, Congress has increased the credit to $8000 and made several additional improvements. This revised $8000 tax credit applies to purchases on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. Tax Credits -- The Basics 1. What's this new homebuyer tax incentive for 2009? The 2008 $7500, repayable credit is increased to $8000 and the repayment feature is eliminated for 2009 purchasers. Any home that is purchased for $80,000 or more qualifies for the full $8000 amount. If the house costs less than $80,000, the credit w... 04/23/2009

It is a true $8000 reduction on your next tax bill. (NOT from the seller) If you don’t owe that much you get a check back from the IRS for the remainder. This credit is only available for qualifying home purchasers between January 1, 2009 to December 1, 2009. $8000 applies only to 1st time home buyers meaning they have NOT owned real estate in the last 3 years. There is an income limit to the credit that phases out the credit for single taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes exceeding $75,000 (or $150,000 for married couples filing jointly). If you sell the home within three years you forfeit the credit or have to pay it back if you already claimed it. 04/20/2009
