April 11th Auction at John Ross

The Oregonian reported today that The John Ross tower on the South Waterfront will have an auction at 1pm on April 30th in order to help meet their goal of selling out the tower by the end of 2010. Starting bids will be significantly lower than current asking prices on 50 properties. Much like the Atwater auction, you will have to pre-register. If you need some help trying to get a great condo at a great price, give me a call. I can help you navigate the process.

New FHA Restrictions, What Does it Mean?

A recent article from Realtor.com talks about the possibility of changes to the current FHA loan situation.  Many First-Time buyers have been using FHA loans because of the 3.5% down payment aspect.  This offers the buyer a chance to get into a home without an extremely steep output of initial cash.  I expect to see more tightening of credit in the future and this could be a small step towards that.  It seems that buyers are encouraged to get out there (tax credit, etc.), but discouraged by the credit and banking guidelines.  Which way are we going to sway?

Do you Have Questions About the New Tax Credit?

As many of you are well aware, Congress has passed a new tax credit for first-Time Buyers and for buyers that have lived in a primary residence and are moving up.  I have had plenty of questions regarding the credit.  There are regulations that govern the $8000 or $6500, so I have been referring my clients to the source:  www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com
