According to Fannie Mae economists, the housing sector is expectd to take steps forward in 2012, though total originatons will fall on fewer refinances.
They also say that the second half of the year should outpace the first 6 months, with relation to growth, and political uncertainty and fiscal policy in Washington is expected to drive consumer & business activity.
Chief Economist Doug Duncan said positive consumer activity and challenges in housing and the global economy will equate to moderate growth for the year. He stated that we're moving into 2012 with decent employment on the employment side which is resulting in positive consumer and household behaviors.
Total home sales were reported to increase about 3.5% to abouve 4.74 million in 2012 from 2011, and it's expected there will be a 5% gain in 2013 to close to 5 million. 2012 new home sales are expected to jump 10.4%.

The temporary property anti-flipping rule waiver has been extended through the end of 2012, by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The FHA rules prohibited insuring a mortgage on a home that the seller owned for less than ninety days. However, in 2010, the FHA waived this regulation and has extended it through the end of this year.
Buyers will be able to continue to use FHA-insured financing to purchase bank-owned properties and HUD-owned with this extension. This waiver will help stabilize prices a revitalize communities with high foreclosure activity.
According to the FHA’s Acting Commissioner, the waiver has strict guidelines and conditions which are implemented in order to prevent “predatory property flipping” in which properties are sold quickly at inflated prices.
Additionally, all transactions must be arms-length, where there is no link between the selling and buying parties. And when the sales price of the property is twenty percent or more than what the seller bought it for, the waiver will only apply if the lender meets specific conditions and justifies the increase in value.
The property flipping waiver does not apply to the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program.
Research done by the agency found that in today’s market, it often takes less than ninety days to acquire, rehabilitate and resell foreclosed properties. As a result, FHA says prohibiting the use of its mortgage insurance for a subsequent resale within 90 days would adversely impact the willingness of sellers to consider offers from potential FHA buyers, mostly because they would be required to cover holding costs and the risk of vandalism that comes with allowing a property to sit vacant over a ninety day period of time.

"Bobby worked with us to find our first home, which we purchased the end of December. Bobby is very friendly, great to work with, and he made us very comfortable. He is very outgoing, positive, and has a great attitude. He asked what we were looking for and showed us houses that fit our needs. He made it very fun to look for our home.
When we called him, he returned the call the same day. He worked so hard every day to find the home with everything we were looking for and in our price range. He had so much patience and kept putting offers in for us. When we did not have time to go look at a house, he would go look at it for us to see if it met our standards.
Buying a first home can be very stressful, but Booby made it so easy for us. Any question we had, he would answer completely and more. We worked with a real estate agent before we worked with Bobby, and she was nice, but we didn't have complete trust in her ability and we weren't sure that she understood what we were looking for. Bobby knew exactly what we were looking for and he found it for us. He got us a great deal and saved us a lot of money. We got everything we wanted in a first home. It is perfect.
It was a pleasure working with Bobby. We were so satisfied with his services that we have already referred our friends and family, who is working with right now, to get their homes. We appreciated Bobby so much and will never use another agent for our future home purchases. He knows exactly what he is doing and we trust him. We are so grateful for Bobby's help that we would strongly recommend him for anyone looking to buy a home."

"We would like to thank you for your help in the sale of our home in North Ranch. We sincerely appreciate your availability and your constant enthusiasm through a difficult sale in a situation that was less than perfect. You were able to keep a positive attitude and work through the difficult times in ways other realtors were not willing to do so. We were amazed at your ability to turn our home in to a "diamond-in-the-rough". Not only do we have a realtor that we could trust, we also have a friend! We look forward to a long and mutually profitable future."
Yours truly,
Karl, Kai and Shauna Schwerdtfeger
My favorite thing about the house hunting experience was anytime that we asked about a particular area he took us there to show us a property. I really feel that helped us make a decision because we were never pushed, never felt obligated to do anything or rushed. When we found the property that really excited us we told him that we liked and wanted it. With Bobbys assistance we put an offer together that we all felt was fair. I had never done a real estate transaction but was never lost or confused to due to Bobbys constant information of what we were doing and what was going to happen next. Then shortly after I received a phone call telling me that we were homeowners, an achievement that I always dreamed of accomplishing. It was a great experience, with a great person who I would refer anyone in my family or recommend to any of my friends! I also believe 4Malibu is very lucky to have such an asset to their company!"
"We would like to take a special moment to let you know how happy we were with your services. We never imagined how a person, like yourself, could make that complicated process be so enjoyable. We appreciated the extra steps you took to put us at ease every step of the way. Your constant commununication assured us that the transaction was going smoothly. We have already told all our friends about you and have given them your number. We love our new home and feel we owe it all to you! A very special thank you from our family."
