I just received an email from the USDA Rural Development that funds have been released again this year for the USDA Guaranteed Rural Home Loan Program. This means that we are again able to provide funding for financing up to 100% of the purchase price for Oregon and Washington loans in qualified areas.
Small towns such as Sherwood, Newberg, Sheridan, Dallas, Canby and Forest Grove qualify in my neck of the woods.
The USDA Guaranteed Rural Home Loan program is unique in that it is one of the few loans left that will allow a qualified home buyer, in a qualified area, to purchase a home with $0 down. Of course, the purchase does have to be structured correctly, but it is fairly easy to set up.
Rates today are incredibly low due to recent action by Congress and the Fed. This is a GREAT loan for a 1st time home buyer and a GREAT time to take advantage of low rates and reduced home prices.
Call me today, or visit my website to learn more.!!

Construction Spending has also been released today While it came in down .6%, this was less then expectations of 1.2%
This week holds a lot of high impact news, so it could be volatile rate wise. In addition, we will hear more about President elect Oboma's economic stimulus package and see how the markets react to it. The conflict in Gaza continues to instill concerns in the oil markets.
Locally, we are still getting over the effects of storm after storm.
According to Zillow.com, Greater Portland area homes have lost approximately 8.9% in value over the last 12 months ending September 08. The chart below shows some interesting stats.
| Distress Signals *** | |||
| Time Period | Homes Losing Value (Pct) | Homes Sold For Loss (Pct) | Foreclosure Transactions (Pct) |
| Past 12 Months | 88.8% | 15.0% | 9.2% |
| Past 5 Years * | 1.1% | 5.7% | 2.9% |
Medford and Bend were in double digits and other areas fared better.
What will this year bring? ard to say. With rates down, lender guidelines more stable and the election over, let's hope that at least for us in Oregon things will stablize and we can get back to normal appreciation of 3-5%
