The Federal Housing Administration which guarantees about&nbsp;one-third of home loans&nbsp;in the U.S. just announced&nbsp;several significant changes&nbsp;that will make the cost of getting an FHA insured loan higher. I've listed&nbsp;some of the&nbsp;changes below.&nbsp;While&nbsp;it's&nbsp;not been&nbsp;said exactly when the changes will begin, some could&nbsp;take place&nbsp;as soon as this spring.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Buyers will begin paying a premium fee of 2.25% up from&nbsp;the previous 1.75%.&nbsp;</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Sellers will&nbsp;be allowed to contribute no more than 3% of the&nbsp;sales price&nbsp;towards a buyers closing costs.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Buyers with a FICO score less than 580 will now be required to&nbsp;make a&nbsp;10% down payment up from the previous 3.5%.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></div>

HUD had relaxed the 90 day rule for one year beginning February 1, 2010 to assist in the sale of foreclosed homes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">As a buyer, you may be asking what does this mean to me?&nbsp;It&nbsp;allows a buyer that is using FHA financing to now buy a home that a real estate investor has recently bought&nbsp;then remodeled and put back on the market for&nbsp;sale without having to wait for the 90 day time period to expire.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">I regularly work&nbsp;with investors in the Augusta Georgia area that will buy a REO or bank owned property and invest tens of thousands of dollars into&nbsp;a remodel&nbsp;before placing it&nbsp;back on the market for resale, most of the time below market value for a quick sale.&nbsp;Experienced investors can&nbsp;have a home completely remodeled and ready to be sold in 30-45 days, which can cause a time period of up to 60 days that a great home was available but could not be purchased by&nbsp;FHA buyers</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">Of course there will still be conditions that must be met to&nbsp;ensure there is no type of fraud involved in the transaction. Legitimate investors that do&nbsp;quality remodels welcome these conditions and should have no problems meeting them.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>]]></description><link>http://www.viewaugustahomes.com/Blog/FHA-Loans</link><guid>http://www.viewaugustahomes.com/Blog/FHA-Loans</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Jan 2010 03:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Short Sales in Augusta</title><description><![CDATA[<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you are a homeowner in today's trying housing market and are no longer able to make your mortgage payments, let us help.

Today is has been a day filled with sorrow and fury for me. Those who know me, know that I spent many years of my life as a deputy sheriff. That's what makes&nbsp;it very&nbsp;personal for me when I hear that 4 officers have been slain. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">On Sunday morning at approximately 8:15&nbsp;a.m. Officer Ronald Owens, Officer Tina Griswold, Officer Greg Richards and Sergeant Mark Renninger sat at a Forza Coffee shop in Lakewood Washington prior to their shift completing paperwork,&nbsp;when&nbsp;Maurice Clemmons allegedly walked in and opened fire killing them in a cowardly fashion. Somehow Clemmons was walking the streets after being sentenced to over 90 years in prison&nbsp;as a teenager. After that sentence was commuted, he&nbsp;has had a steady diet of violent crime and as recently as&nbsp;6 days&nbsp;ago was released on bond for raping a child.&nbsp;Apparently,&nbsp;he&nbsp;has now taken&nbsp;the lives of 4 people who served their community&nbsp;as police officers. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">Unfortunately, this type of story is not that uncommon&nbsp;today as&nbsp;some people see officers as targets.&nbsp;You don't have to look back very far to see that 4 officers were killed in Oakland California on March 21, 2009 and 3 officers were ambushed and&nbsp;killed in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania on April 4, 2009.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #663300; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">If you ever wonder how dangerous law enforcement really is, just visit </span><a href="http://www.odmp.org"><span style="color: #000000;">www.odmp.org</span></a><span style="color: #000000;">. That is a really good website that is dedicated to honoring fallen officers. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">It's sad that in today's society, we must wait for an officer to lose his life to be honored and violent criminals who re-offend within days of being released from prison are provided too many opportunities and are treated with leniency&nbsp;for the crimes they commit.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">Please pray for those fallen officers and their families.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></p>]]></description><link>http://www.viewaugustahomes.com/Blog/Tragic-day-for-Police</link><guid>http://www.viewaugustahomes.com/Blog/Tragic-day-for-Police</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Who's New in Columbia County</title><description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">As we near the end of 2009, Columbia&nbsp;County has continued&nbsp;it's growth even through tough economic times.

And not just up, but an impressive increase&nbsp;of 10.1 percent for existing home sales. These numbers are certainly being driven by the First Time Buyer Tax Credit and historically low interest rates.&nbsp;This is causing a decrease of inventory in <em>some</em> areas of the country and that's actually causing bidding wars according to some buyers. Locally, the Augusta market inventory is holding steady, so I'm not sure anyone is quite ready to say&nbsp;that a buyers market is just around the corner.
