Is it the number of fans you have on Facebook? To engage with your clients? Is it to create a more public persona? Are your posts and comments mostly business/market oriented? Do you post lifestyle type comments? Is your audience primarily your clients? Or other professionals?

Our Town - Franklin,MA

03-19-10
RE/MAX Executive Realty

"Our Town" is our insiders' look at the communities of New England. "Our Town" gives you the key, top-line facts and figures any home buyer needs to know. But, just as importantly, "Our Town" will give you a sense about what statistics can't tell you, but what you really need to know: what's the character of the community?

For this personalized view, we ask our agents to share their "Five Faves" about the towns where they not only do business, but in which they live. Our hope is that you may find some special tidbit on "Our Town" that could help make it your town.

This month's "Our Town" takes a look at Franklin, MA.

The city of Franklin was first settled by Europeans in 1660, and was officially incorporated in 1778. Named after Benjamin Franklin, the city is also home to the birth place of America's father of public education, Horace Mann. Franklin is home to what may be the nation's oldest continuously operational one-room school house, The Red Brick School. Still open to the public, today, it was started in 1792, and remained in operation until 2008.

For this issue of "Our Town," we spoke with Agent Matt Kelly of RE/MAX Executive Realty.

FHA Guidelines

12-10-09
RE/MAX Executive Realty

After much anticipation the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has, effective December 7, 2009 made adjustments to its underwriting guidelines. The new rules will expand the number of properties eligible for FHA loans.

The great advantage to FHA loans has been that for qualified applicants and properties the minimum down payment has been 3.5% as opposed to 10% or 20% for conventional non-FHA loans. The tricky part has been that many properties, under the old guidelines, simply did not meet the criteria

Here are some of the more important changes:

  • Under the old guidelines the association had to have 4 or more units. Now an association with 2 or 3 units qualifies.
  • Under the old guidelines the required owner occupancy in the association was 51%. Now it is 50%.
  • Under the old guidelines the maximum amount of commercial space was 20%. It has now been increased to 25%.
  • Whereas new projects were ineligible under the old guidelines, now FHA, with extensive documentation up front, will give loans on new construction projects.

The House Financial Services Committee is, however, considering a couple of adjustments that would make it more difficult to obtain a FHA loan. There are some who feel it is too easy for buyers to qualify for the FHA loans and feel that the applicants should have more "skin in the game." One proposal is to increase the minimum credit score from the current 620 to 640. The other proposal is to raise the down payment from the current 3.5% to 5%. These proposals have not been enacted. So stay tuned!

Regardless there are many positive reasons why now is the best time to buy!!
