About Muskegon County, MI

Unemployment in Muskegon is the single greatest trigger to foreclosures today

David John Medendorp  CCIM  GRI CRS  : Real Estate Agent in Muskegon, MI

In Muskegon we are now seeing Foreclosures in prime mortgages as well as the high breads. We are seeing forclosres in home up to a Million dollars. Unemployment is the single greatest trigger to foreclosures in Muskegon . Obviously, the current economy is adversely affecting families at every income level. The fastest growing segment of mortgages going to 'short sale' and foreclosure are prime mortgages. These are mortgages given to people who had a good job, good income, good FICO score and a good down payment when they purchased their homes. These foreclosures will affect all of Muskegon county and every price point. This increase in distressed inventory will further create downward pressure on values in Muskegon and throughout Michigan. If your in this situation and you think your situation is temporary talk to your lender and try to negotiate a lower rate maybe skipping some payments or a short sale.

If you are a buyer now is the time to buy with large inventories and lower prices there may never be a better time.

Hud offers Great News for First-Time Home Buyers! In Muskeon Michigan and the US

Great News for First-Time Home Buyers!

HUD recently announced that qualified First-Time Home Buyers who want to take advantage of the available tax credit of up to $8,000 now have another option available to them to help them become homeowners.

It's clear that first-time home buyers have been having a major impact on the housing market this year. The National Association of Realtors announced that first-time buyers, who typically account for less than 40% of home sales each year, have been especially busy...in March, homes that were purchased by first-timers accounted for 53% of all sales, and this percentage is expected to hold true for all of 2009.

With home affordability higher than ever, available tax credits and some of the lowest interest rates ever recorded for home loans, who can blame them? Particularly as a first-time buyer, there may never be a better time to buy a home than right now.

However, the availability of a tax credit, while a great incentive, does not put the money in the hands of a buyer right away. HUD's announcement now allows for prospective and qualified home buyers to borrow the money from approved agencies and lenders.

While details of participating lenders and HUD-approved agencies are not yet available, this should turn up the heat on prospective buyers to get busy searching for their next home. As further details become available, I will get them to you.

In the meantime, alert your database that one more barrier to homeownership is being removed and the time to start shopping is now!

Sincerely,

HUD Announces $8000 Tax Credit can be used as downpayment for Homebuyers

David John Medendorp  CCIM  GRI CRS  : Real Estate Agent in Muskegon, MI

Wow this is great !! This will surly help sell some homes.

Did you buy a house or a condo recently? If you did, it could mean money in your pocket. That's right, if you bought a home last year... you could get a 75-hundred dollar interest-free loan - courtesy of Uncle Sam -- and you have 15 years to pay it back. On the other hand, if you buy a home this year before December the first, you can get a tax credit of up to eight-thousand-dollars either on this year's return or next year's return, and you don't even have to pay it back.

News from NAR - Washington D.C.
Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said that the Federal Housing Administration is going to permit its lenders to allow homeowners to use the $8,000 tax credit as a downpayment.

Donovan's remarks came in an address to several thousand REALTORS®, including 130 from Michigan, who are in Washington D.C. this week for the annual REALTORS® Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo.

Secretary Donovan said that important changes, which the National Association of REALTORS® has been calling for, will help consumers purchase a home. "We all want to enable FHA consumers to access the home buyer tax credit funds when they close on their home loans so that the cash can be used as a downpayment," Donovan said. According to Donovan, the FHA's approved lenders will be permitted to "monetize" the tax credit through short-term bridge loans. This will allow eligible home buyers to access the funds immediately at the closing.

Now would be a great time to buy a home. in Muskegon Michigan.
