FHA Amends "Flipping" Law

Thanks to a fellow Realtor/FaceBook Friend for sharing this late breaking information:

FHA is waiving the 90 day flipping law for one year starting February 1st 2010. FHA understands that alot of these bank owned properties are being purchased, rehabbed and resold. The hope is with this waiver that homes will be purch...ased, rehabbed and sold for fair market value which in turn will increase home values.... As we all know FHA is the most commonly used financing in today's market. See the HUD guidelines (link below) for more information.

Four Months and Counting

If you weren't quite ready to take the plunge in 2009 you still have time to take advantage of the Federal Tax Credit for homebuyers ($8,000 for qualifying first-time buyers and $6,500 for qualifying repeat buyers).

Two conditions:
* you must be under contract by April 30, 2010, and
* you must settle on the property by June 30, 2010

The Tax Credit combined with favorable housing prices and mortgage interest rates make this an ideal time to "pull the trigger" if you are "ready, willing and able".

And for those considering selling their properties - what a great time to list your house for sale. Buyers are motivated and looking. Now may present a great opportunity to get that house sold - but again - only if you are "ready, willing and able".
