FHA shrinks waiting period for families that have had foreclosures and short sales - Now is the time to buy
FHA shrinks waiting period for families that have had foreclosures and short sales - Now is the time to buy. If you have had a home that was foreclosed on or were forced to do a "Short Sale" and were told the waiting period to be able to purchase again was 5-7 years, please read this.
I have been talking about and hearing for a year or so that this was coming but now it is great to hear that help is on the way for those who were put into a position of having to do a short sale or had their homes foreclosed on. It was apparent from the outset that the government was not going to be able to enforce the extended wait times initially expected for those who suffered the loss to be able to purchase homes again. The economy relies heavily on the housing market and in order to get us moving in the right direction I felt this was coming.
The FHA has revised their guidelines
to assist borrowers in being able to purchase homes in as little as 12
months after a foreclosure or short sale. Borrowers must demonstrate
they have fully recovered from the event that caused the hardship and
complete housing counseling but this is welcome news to anyone who has had to go through losing a home.

Hermes & Associates Sells Hamilton Mill - Dacula, GA
Hermes & Associates sells Hamilton Mill - Dacula, GA and just last week we helped two Hamilton Mill homeowners sell their homes. Both of these Hamilton Mill homes were under contract in less than 10 days and both sold for over 98% of asking price.Hamilton Mill is a master planned community located in Northeast Gwinnett County with over 2,100 homes with prices from the mid $100's to high $600,000 price range.
Hermes & Associates's, Matt Hermes, is a neighborhood resident for over 10 years and has sold more Hamilton Mill homes than any other agent for a number of years. 2012 was no exception as Hermes & Associates again led the charge of home sales.
With only 38 active homes for sale this bodes well for Sellers as limited inventory tends to drive prices upwards. Matt Hermes, however knows of at least a dozen homes that while not "officially" on the market would sell if the price dictates. Looking to buy but can't find your new home online? Give us a call, we may have one for you.

New Home Construction up 6.8% in May / Matt Hermes - Keller Williams Realty
Matt Hermes with Keller Williams Realty and the Builder Trade In Program says that "With the low inventory of homes currently available and the current numbers of Buyers in the market, Atlanta has seen price increases that will flatten once new home construction starts to catch up with the demand. As the new homes come on the market, the current inventory levels will start to level out and when this happens the price increases we are seeing will level off as well. New home construction has been caught a little bit behind the 8-ball and builders are trying to catch up with the demand for homes. Once this happens new home sales will take off." according to Hermes. The Builder Trade Program is a national organization that has been helping Buyers, Sellers and Home Builders for over 35 years.
Here is a link to the article from Fox News: New Home Construction up 6.8%
Our Builder Trade In Program (BTIP) is designed to help homeowners who would like to purchase a New Construction home but have a home to sell. The BTIP is designed to specifically work with new home builders and those looking to buy new homes solve the problem of selling a existing home prior to purchasing. With a three tier approach to removing any type of contingency on the sale of a existing home the BTIP is the number on resource for new home Buyers.
"This unique system allows both the Builder and Buyer to work together to come up with a solution to either sell or lease a current home in order to be able to move right into a brand new home" Hermes stated. The BTIP currently is working with a number of local home builders to bring this opportunity to the general public. Builders such as Chafin Home Builders and Acadia homes have joined with the BTIP to make new homes available to those who are looking to buy new construction.
If you would like to get more information on the Builder Trade in Program, please contact us at 678.775.2787 or email us from the BTIP website.
