I’m sure everyone may have been aware of this, but in the event you didn’t know, here’s the most recent news on the changes to FHA loans.  Keep in mind that this is in regards to loans with FHA case numbers assigned on or after today, October 4th, 2010.  So if you’re client already has an FHA case number, you’re ok.     UP-FRONT MIP: Up-Front MIP will now be 1% on all FHA loans (purchases, refinances, and streamline refinances). LTV ANNUAL PREMIUMS: For loans greater than 15 years: ≤ 95% .85% > 95% .90% For loans with terms less than or equal to 15 years ≤ 90% None > 90% .25%

I think one of the biggest misconceptions that the current mortgage and real estate environment conveys to potential buyers is that in order to buy a home in today’s market, they need to have excellent credit and a substantial down payment.  While it is fair to say that lenders have raised their standards and tightened their guidelines and new laws have been created to ensure that the lending climate of a few years ago never happens again, you don’t have to an 720 credit score or 20% down to buy a home.  While it definitely is preferred that you have an exceptional credit score and a large amount of money down, it is not a deal breaker.  Let me explain: CREDIT It’s no secret that just a few short years ago, people who had credit scores in the low 500’s were able to buy a home with no mo...

Upstaged by Lemonade: An Open House Saga. I didn't know until it was too late to do anything about it.  I had no one through the open house I held this afternoon.  No one.  Not a buyer, not even a neighbor. After the appointed time, I got up to leave and what do I see?  The FSBO down the street is also doing an open house.  But he's got his grandkids in the front yard with a lemonade stand! Although I have had several conversations with the seller, I had never actually seen the inside of his vacant rental property.  So on my way to pick up signs, I stopped and had a look.  While I was there, several carloads of people came by and while the occupants lined up on the lawn for a cup of lemonade, Mr. FSBO's wife picked off the adults and walked them through the house. What a racket they had...

Farmers Branch homes for sale are definately a great way to raise a family.  Farmers branch is right next to Dallas, and pretty much only a 10 minute drive to downtown (with no traffic).  Farmers branch houses for sale can always be a good little bargain too.  Farmers branch is a more established community than many other suburbs of Dallas.  So the average home is going to be a little bit older than most other areas.  Therefore you can probably get just as big and just as good of a home for alot cheaper price than you could elsewhere around dallas.  Farmers Branch Real Estate also has many lots within it that can be very large.  Seems like just the other day I saw one that was for sale and it had to have been about an Acre in size.  Farmers branch is definalty a wonderful place to live ...

Farmers Branch real estate is a growing at a very nice rate.  As prices continue to go up in this area due to more and more demand for this area comnig along.  As Farmers Branch has always been a mediocrity suburb of Dallas, it is now turning into much more than that.  With great shops, fun places to eat, gorgeous homes built way back in the 50's, and great big lots, this area is far from mediocre.  When searching amongst Farmers Branch homes for sale you can expect to pay a little above the $200,000 price tag for the average Farmers Branch home.  This is a little bit higher than the Dallas average.  Dallas has become a very booming area in the recent years, and Farmers Branch is very much so in the middle of the boom!  When searching for a home, or if you want more info on this area, c...

Why "Buy The Branch?" As a resident of Farmers Branch, you are afforded with unparalleled city services while paying one of the lowest tax rates in the entire Metroplex.  That's a winning combination in anyone's book! So how is this possible? Well for one thing, approximately 78 percent of all property taxes in Farmers Branch are paid by our business community.  Additionally, the City collects an estimated $12.4 million in sales tax on an annual basis.  Collectively, these monies are used to fund the city's operations, and fortunately, the combined dollar amount is substantial enough for the City to operate at a consistently low tax rate. However, all communities are facing difficult economic realities, and Farmers Branch is no exception. And, while the City is committed to keeping the ...

National Night Out in Texas is different from the rest of the nation.  Why?  It's HOT in Texas in August.  So far this week it's been in the upper 90's and only cooled off to the lower 80's overnight.  For the second year, communities in Farmers Branch, Texas will celebrate National Night Out two months and one week later than the rest of the nation, but the reason is a good one, many think - it's just too hot.  October 13th will be cooler this year. Last year, the National Association of Town Watch, the group that keeps National Night Out running, allowed Texas to hold its night out later, because of numerous complaints they received about the August heat. Last year about 37 million people across the nation, including Texas, showed their support.  It serves several purposes. First, it ...
