A home owner may attempt a "short sale" whereby the bank agrees to accept less than the mortgage balance based on the owner's hardship and financial status. Obtaining approval can be a long and difficult process. Additionally, there is no assurance that the lender will accept an offer at or above the listed price.

Bank-owned and short sale listings are often marketed with a real estate agent and placed in the Massachusetts Multiple Listing Service (to ensure full market exposure).

What does all this mean? This coupled with the fed not buying mortgaged backed securities (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126291088200220743.html) as of March 1st leading to a 1% rate increase in addition to a tax credit expiring April 30th means there has not been a better time to buy.

What changes will be implemented? (announced the following on January 20):

1. Increase the up-front mortgage insurance premium (MIP) to 2.25%;Simply put, more money upfront to buyer, previously 1.5%. In some cases upfront MIP can be a part of the loan if seller concession is made see line #3. This will go into effect in the spring.
   
2. Update credit score and down payment requirements for new borrowers;580 and above ok, less than that will need 10% down or greater. This will go into effect early summer.
   
3. Reduce seller concessions to three percent, from six percent. 250k purchase you could get up to a 15k concession including upfront mortgage insurance and all other closing fees. That is now reduced to $7500 so with the example above it leaves you 1875 for other closing cost and pre paids. With the guideline's a 3% seller concession of 3% will not cover all closing cost. The borrower will have to bring some money to closing for closing costs. This goes into effect early summer.
   
4. Implement a series of significant measures aimed at increasing lender enforcement. Lender held liable and responsible for loans the originate and underwrite. Effective immediately
   

March 08 compared to March 09: Mortgage Interest rates are down over 1%, Gas prices are down $1.23 per gallon, and median home prices in the Northeast are down $40,000. What does this mean to a buyer every month??? About 376.00 savings per month , see chart below:

This is truly a great opportunity to buy. If you are a first time buyer you will get an 8,000 tax credit next spring that doesn't have to be repaid. There are still many mortgages being written with as low 3.5% down and a 600 fico score. Not to mention, there are more buying options than ever!!!
