FHA Condo Approved List

It's 1:18 a.m. on a Friday, I guess it's technically Satuday. I'm looking for some information for a client of mine who is interested in a particular condo in Chelmsford, MA. Since I know he is using FHA financing, first thing I do is check the list of FHA approved condos.

In Massachusetts, these lists change frequently as more and more listing agents are encouraging their sellers to get their condo association pre-approved to ensure for quicker closings and to attract more buyers to the property. Here is what I find when I visit the HUD website to pull the current list of FHA approved condos in Chelmsford, MA.

I've gotten this message before, and I HATE IT. Prepping for Saturday or Sunday showings, the website is never available... which is when 50% of my business takes place! Just wondering in the wee hours of a Saturday morning why they can't keep the list, as of Friday evening at 9 PM searchable all weekend.

Don't worry Mr. Buyer, I'm on it! I'll have an answer to you by Monday morning, it's just the government agency that has become fundamental to our business doesn't operate on nights or weekends.
