HUD homes are owned by the government and the sale of HUD homes is managed by the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. HUD homes are offered with a 3% rebate buyers can use towards their closing costs.
STEP 1 Buyer must be pre-approved for a mortgage. If a buyer were to pay cash, the buyer would need a letter from the manager of the institution where their liquid assets are held stating that the funds are ready and available for closing on the property (proof of funds).
STEP 2 When you find the HUD home you want to buy, make sure the Realtor you choose to work with is a HUD registered agent. Only HUD registered agents are able to make offers.
STEP 3 Bid periods end daily at midnight. Bids are submitted on line by HUD registered agents. The bids are opened the next day and an answer to the bid is posted by 9:30 the next day.
STEP 4 If the bid is accepted, the buyer must complete all necessary paperwork and submit a cashier's check made out to HUD for $1,000. These items must be in the local HUD office within 48 hours.
STEP 5 Buyer has 15 days from the date the contract was signed by HUD's representative to have a home inspection performed by a licensed home inspection company and exercise all due diligence.
STEP 6 Buyer must close within 45 days of the effective date or if using an FHA 203K Rehab loan, buyer must close within 60 days. There are exceptions to the rule of closing date but for every 15 day extension granted by HUD, there are associated fees.
STEP 7 Move in and start enjoying the benefits of home ownership.
This grand colonial with hardwood floors, lots of windows, open concept, granite counters, double garage, three season porch, forced hot air heat, and central air conditioning sits on 5.4 private acres in one of Brentwood's best planned subdivisions.

I have put together this study of single family home sales for the last four years to help us determine the outlook for Dover NH homes sales in 2012.

At the beginning of the “Great Recession” in 2008, Dover NH home sales suffered yet ever since then, the number of homes sold has increased. This is mostly due to real estate values taking a hit and we’ll see below how much of a hit it has been. The number of homes sold is up 7.5% over last year and up 18% from the depths of 2008.

The average time a home for sale in Dover NH spends on the market was at it’s lowest in 2010 due mostly to the now expired Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit. The Tax Credit was scheduled to expire at the end of 2009 but was extended to April 30, 2010. The procrastinators decided it was time to jump into the market and I believe this is what skewed the average days on market for 2010. At the current average of 106 days, this market has come very close to “normalizing”.
Median Sales Price is said to be a better indicator of real estate value trends than Average Sales Price. Average Sales Price can be artificially skewed by a single transaction with an extremely low or extremely high sales price. In 2011, the transaction with the lowest sale price was $38,900 and the highest was $6,900,000.
Median Sales Price was at $267,000 in 2008 with 194 sales. In 2011, Median Sales Price was $226,300 with 229 sales. Average sales price is down 11% from the high of $293,754 in 2008 to $262,033 in 2011. Median Sales Price is down 15% from 2008′s high of $267,500 to 2011′s low of $226,300.
If we look at the overall volume of single family Dover NH homes sold, we can see volume jumped up 5.3% in 2011 over 2008′s level and up 5.6% from 2010. This makes perfect sense knowing what we do about Average Sales Price and Median Sales Price over the last four years. The lower prices are the more homes will sell.
It is my belief that home sales will continue to grow. I am predicting at least 4-5% growth again for 2012 as long as these two factors occur: Interest rates stay low and move up buyers make room for first time home buyers. Existing home owners who are looking to upgrade or up-size their homes are starting to realize that even though home values have come down significantly, they will save a greater amount on their new home purchase than they may otherwise give up on the sale of their existing home.

Interest rates will be the “IF” factor. In a study of the effects of interest rates on purchase power, we hold a certain monthly payment steady and use a mortgage calculator to determine how much purchase power is effected by a rise in interest rates. Holding payment steady, a 1/4 of 1% rise in the interest rate can mean as much as $8,800 less purchase power.
If you would like to move up to a newer or larger home, or if you would like to own your own home, get to a lender now. Make sure you know how much you can afford for a mortgage and start looking before interest rates and prices start to go back up. We know they will. We just can’t say when so why wait?
