SHORT SALE GUIDELINES REVISED

WASHINGTON (Associated Press) – Guidelines for short sales to help homeowners who need to sell their houses but cannot secure contracts at a high enough price to pay off their mortgages have been revised by the Treasury Department.

The plan was created to aid homeowners whose income or debt is too low to qualify them for a loan modification under the Making Home Affordable program. The plan establishes timetables, a standard process and documents, and cash incentives for participation.

The new guidelines require the:

• property be the homeowner’s primary residence;
• homeowner be delinquent on the mortgage or likely to default;
• loan was made before Jan.1 this year and is less than $729,750; and
• borrowers’ total monthly mortgage payment exceeds 31 percent of their before-tax income.

The guidelines are expected to reduce paperwork by requiring mortgage companies to use the financial and hardship documents submitted by borrowers seeking a loan modification. To speed up the approval process, mortgage companies will have to approve short-sale terms, including the minimum listing price, before the house is put on the market.

Mortgage companies will be required to offer the program as of April 5, 2010.

The Real Estate Center

If you are in this situation, email or call me to get some advice. I have been dealing with short sales since 1989.

Short sale/Foreclosure help?

The U.S. Treasury Department's long-awaited guidelines to streamline Short Sales, announced Monday, will have a significant impact on families facing foreclosure, according to RE/MAX International Chairman and Co-Founder Dave Liniger.

The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA), part of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), provides financial incentives and simplifies Short Sales procedures by setting limits on the time it takes lenders to respond, freeing borrowers from debt and capping claims of subordinate lenders.

The Treasury's announcement comes on the heels of more than a year's work by RE/MAX leadership to persuade federal lawmakers to address the need for a simpler Short Sale process.

"While the plan doesn't include all of our suggestions, we feel it's a big step in the right direction," Liniger says. "These new policies will make Short Sales much more attractive to our clients and much easier for us to complete."

CMN radiothon December 10,11, & 12th

I am proud to share my time and finances to help raise funds for Cook Children's Hospital through the national and local support of Radiothon. I will be manning the phones on Saturday, December 12th from 9:30 AM to 12 PM. Please call and donate to an organization that has blessed my family and I so much. 

For almost 21 years Cara and I experienced the first rate medical care and just as important, the first rate family care given by all who not only work at Cook but the volunteers as well. If you've not ever been to see and experience the Cook Children's hospital in Fort Worth, all I can say is WOW! What a place!! Come down during radiothon and see what I mean.

Please tune in to 103.7 Lite FM and listen to on-air personalities Gene & Julie, Tony Zazza and Leigh Ann telling live stories of hope and healing from children across North Texas. Each year, the Children’s Miracle Network Radiothon raises much-needed funds to benefit the patients of Cook Children’s Medical Center and Children’s Medical Center.

To donate, call (800) 800-7277 on December 10, 11 and 12,
or

Together, our support means that every dollar raised during Radiothon stays in the community to support the work of our hospital. 

Thank you,

Steve Young

Rates Have Hit All-Time Low Levels Again!

In case you haven't caught the news, home loan rates have done it again, dropping to their lowest level...ever. Not only has the 30 Year Fixed rate returned to its lowest all time level, rates across the board are at their lowest levels.

Yes, that means, go ahead and choose your flavor – 30 Fixed, 15 Fixed, 5/1 ARM or 1/1 ARM – all loan types hit their lowest levels of the year! For the weekly Freddie Mac survey of all lenders, this is the first time that all have been at their lowest level.
