  Date: 06/25/2008 Democrats and Republicans alike are wanting credit for helping homeowners across the country in today's housing market, hence the rush for a huge foreclosure rescue bill. The Senate is very close to getting the bill passed although it still needs the Presidents stamp of approval. With a vote of 83-9 the mortgage aid plan is on track for passage in the Senate as soon as today. This mortgage relief plan would assist an estimated 400,000 anxious borrowers, who wouldn't normally qualify for government fixed rate loans, by allowing them to dip into the $300 billion in new cheaper loans being backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Not just any homeowner in financial distress will have access to the government's aid. Borrowers are only eligible if their mortgage holde...

Date: 06/23/2008 President Bush's time is limited in office and he is checking off his to do list. After coming to an agreement on terrorist surveillance and Iraq war money, President Bush and Congress are on to the next item of business; a prospective housing rescue. With elections on the horizon this could be their last ditch effort in getting anything passed before campaign season. There have been reports of President Bush threatening to veto the measure even though it has met some of his well known demands such as ''modernizing the Depression-era Federal Housing Administration and creating a new regulator for the government-sponsored mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac'' as reported by Time. Both Democrats and Republicans alike agree that the housing legislation is crucia...

Usually people refinance to save money, either by obtaining a lower interest rate or by reducing the term of the loan. Refinancing is also a way to convert an adjustable loan to a fixed loan or to consolidate debts. The decision to refinance can be difficult, since there are several reasons to refinance. However, if you are looking to save money, try this calculation:Calculate the total cost of the refinance Calculate the monthly savings Divide the total cost of the refinance (#1) by the monthly savings (#2). This is the "break even" time. If you own the house longer than this, you will save money by refinancing. Since refinancing is a complex topic, consult a mortgage professional.   For more information on refinancing your property, give us a call at 877-771-7377 or check out our webs...

Drive Sensibly Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.   Fuel Economy Benefit: 5-33%   Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.20-$1.35/gallon Observe the Speed Limit While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.30 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.   Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-23%   Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.29-$0.94/gallon Remove Excess Weight Avoid keeping unn...

FHA Loan Center It's easy to understand why many people looking for a new home are turning to FHA insured loan programs. Because FHA Loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration homebuyers have an easier time qualifying for a mortgage. Those who typically benefit most by an FHA loan are first-time home buyers and those who have less than perfect credit. The links to the right are articles aimed at helping you better understand FHA loans. With this information you can make a more informed decision on whether these government insured loans are right for you and your family.   New Changes in FHA Loans In response to the growing housing situation in the United States the loan limits for FHA Loans has been temporarily raised.

Looking at Yahoo Real Estate today, we see Dublin, CA logging in with 216 propeties in the foreclosure process. The foreclosure process includes real estate where the owner has just received a notice - pre-foreclosure process. Across interstate 580, in Pleasanton, CA, we find 132 propeties showing in the foreclosure process. Not quite half of Dublin, but enough to illustrate the differences in these tow communities separated by eight lanes of interstate. Pleasanton is mostly built-out while Dublin is flooded with new home builders and a glut of California condos. Tracey Harper, our new home specialist, grew up in Pleasanton. She worked for Standard Pacific Homes helping them to sell hundreds of new homes in the area before she decided to go into residential resale. There are great deals...

Here are the updated graphs with the weekly MLS data for Dubin and Pleasanton, CA. Look at the difference in these two markets! Dublin, CA continues to be one of the most improving markets in the area in so far as Days on Market and market action go. I believe the biggest factor is the huge inventory of new homes on the market in Dublin and the downward pressure on prices being exerted by new home builders. Pleasanton, California is mostly built out. So, the market activity in Pleasanton reflects a more seasonal pattern. Blue = Active ListingsGreen = Pending SalesPurple = Closed Transactions These graphs help to give you an idea of real estate market trends in the local communities. We pull the data from the MLS every Friday. The blue line represents Active Listings and the green line P...
