How Much to Offer on a House

How do we advise buyers and sellers about offering price?? 

How badly does the buyer want the house?

How badly does the seller wish to sell the house?

How quickly does the seller need to sell the house?

Is there equity to cover the seller’s liens and cost of sale?

What terms and conditions are important to the seller to compensate for low offer?

MONTGOMERY COUNTY MARYLAND NEW CONSTRUCTION JUST WENT GREEN

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND NEW HOMES - NEW ENERGY STAR MANDATES

If you’ve bought or sold real estate in MD and Northern Virginia as a consumer or a real estate agent, you know two things: 

1.  The Montgomery County, MD Contract of Sale is the longest in the area.  Disclosure is comprehensive.

2.  Montgomery County Maryland would be the first area to legislate GREEN.  It happened yesterday.  In sweeping and truly revolutionary legislation Montgomery will require that New Homes, single family detached and town homes constructed in the county must meet Energy Star standards.

Homes constructed in Montgomery County would be covered by the new mandate on about January 2010.  New Homes in Montgomery County, MD

These Energy Star Standards consumer about 15-30 percent less energy than under current guidelines.  It must be noted that many builders in the Montgomery County market have already implemented these guidelines in their new home construction.                      

These mandates will add an estimated $2,000 to $20,000 to the cost of a home constructed under the Energy Star Guidelines.  Since the average cost of new construction for a single family detached home in Montgomery County is about $1,545,843, the added construction costs is, to many new home buyers, a small price to pay for continuing energy savings.  

New home buyers do not buy or build homes in Montgomery County because of affordability.  Some of the attractions of Montgomery County real estate are: Montgomery County MD real estate

MONTGOMERY COUNTY MD FHA MORTGAGE LOAN LIMITS, $750,750.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY MD, FHA MORTGAGE LOANS FOR MARYLAND HOME BUYERS - FHA Loan Limit $729,750 and 3% Down!

WELCOME TO THE NEW FHA LOAN.   OPPORTUNITY FOR MARYLAND REAL ESTATE BUYERS.

HAVING TROUBLE GETTING A CONVENTIONAL HOME LOAN APPROVED?  You bet!  Is the home you wish to buy in a “declining market”?  What’s a “declining market”?  What’s the solution? 

DECLINING MARKET.  Mortgage companies are smart.  While home prices in the Maryland real estate market have come down significantly, conventional mortgages have become harder and harder for buyers to get approved.  5% has become 10% and 10% has become 20%.  In designated “declining market” areas, areas where prices have declined, underwriting and appraisal guidelines are much more difficult than in the past 5 years.  Mortgage companies want to protect themselves from the risk of making loans on homes whereby the market value is likely to decline.  They protect themselves by limiting the amount of money they will lend on properties where there security (the property) will decline in value. 

What is the solution?

                                                                                                                               

YES!  3% Down loans are available with FHA Financing.  BUT, THAT’S NOT ALL.  If you qualify, you may be able to obtain DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE from the Down Payment Assistance programs offered by the Nehemiah Program.  Wait!  There’s more.  With FHA Financing, you may receive up to 6% closing cost assistance from the Seller.  Of course, the seller must be willing to make this contribution to you.  In today’s real estate market, our buyers are negotiating contracts with helpful closing cost contributions to help our buyers with costly closing costs. 

ENTER FHA MORTGAGE FINANCING.  Just in time, the loan limits for FHA insured mortgage loans will help many home buyers obtain financing at a reasonable cost.  The new loan limit for FHA is $729,750.  In some areas of Maryland the loan limit is less.
