First Time Buyers: Time to Get In The Game It’s Time for the Industry to Reach Out and Educate First Time Buyers

by Timothy Branco

The foundation of any housing market is the first-time homebuyer. By definition, people buying their first home don’t have equity (free money) from a previous sale to extend there borrowing power. Without the activity of first-time homebuyers, those who own homes at the entry level (previous first-time homebuyers) can’t sell and buy a move-up property. The first level move-ups ignite a chain reaction throughout the move-up market stimulating sales across all price points. If the firsttime homebuyer cohort is not active, the entire housing market seizes up, and sales volumes are low.

Two generations have been slow to get into the housing market, which has caused a lag in first time homebuyer sales. The X generation which are now 32-40 years old and the Y generation, 22-32 years old have for the most part been missing from the equation for the last 12 years. Two generations that are more focused on technology 20 4820

NEHomeLife.com | March 2014 NEHomeLife.com | July 2012

and mobility and less focused on setting down roots, buying a home and starting a family. How important is the first time buyer in any housing market? It is the fuel that provides stimulus to all other sectors and without it the market will continue to struggle.

Increased education cost, new health care cost and rapidly rising housing cost have put these two generations in a very tenuous position to say the least. Is it harder today to buy your first home than ever, some say, definitely. What’s keeping them on the sidelines is a combination of many things, the wait and see market, the Federal Tax that expired last April and a lack of education on what it takes to own their first home and what programs are available to help. In a healthy real estate market 40% of sales are from first time buyers.

In January – March statistics in 2013 first time buyers only represented 29% of all new transactions.

Lending standards.

“Tighter lending standards since the housing bust are edging out firsttimers who can’t meet credit or employment history requirements in a still-weak economy”, says Guy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance.

Higher credit standards are reflected in loans bought by government-backed mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Last year, loans in Freddie Mac’s portfolio had an average credit score of 758. That was up from 720 five years ago.

Competition. By years end in 2013, inventories had reached very low levels for the first time in decades. Rising prices and fewer inventories are turning a longstanding buyers market into an emerging sellers market. In Southern New England, 2013 was one the best years in real estate in the last 10 years. Decreased inventory and declining first time buyers could throw a wrench into market in the next quarter unless more of the sideline and wait and see sellers jump in.

Mortgage Rates. The bright light in all of this is that some of the best mortgage rates in 40 years are still available and home buying is rapidly becoming a better value than renting. With tax advantages, equity building and pride of ownership still being key, first time buyers are looking and tak-

ing steps to position themselves for their first home. It was not long ago that an 8% mortgage was a really good rate and with offerings at half of that today, buyers are getting much more for their dollar. Once you are in the game of home ownership it is much easier to trade up and grow your investment in your home.

The Next Wave. One thing is for sure, X & Y generation first time buyers may be getting a late start but when the flood gates open real estate will see one of the best markets in history. The housing market drives the U.S. economy and there are no shortages of politicians who are lined up to take credit for good

times. Our leaders will have little to do with the next economic boom in this country that will be driven by the X & Y and Z generations. They have sat out for awhile but now they will become the next driving force in the economy in this country and worldwide.

Those companies that reach out to these future customers will be the winners in the next real estate market boom.

My First Home: Choosing the Right One

By Michaella Jaye

I want to share some of the important events that went along with purchasing my first home. Hopefully some of these tips and advice will make your experience one of the happiest times of your life. The most crucial thing is to find the right house that works for you and your family. The process of looking and searching for the perfect one can be very time consuming. You must have patience!

Here are some tips to get you started: 1. Work with a Real Estate Agent – Find someone that you are comfortable with and who you will be able to trust.

This is a big decision and you want to be able to rely on your realtor to help you along the way. They will also be able to provide you with additional information that may not be available to the public.

Ask friends and family for references on agencies that they have used in the past.

2. Search Listings – Take advantage of available resources and look at as many listings as you can. Pick up a copy of New England HomeLife, which is available in print or through their digital magazine.

Many realtors update their websites on a daily basis, so this is your best way to get up-to-the-minute information. You can also narrow down your search by

3. Visit Open Houses – This is a great way to get into a house and look around.

Set aside a few weekends and go to multiple open houses in your desired neighborhoods. If you don’t have a significant other, ask a friend to tag along. Gage the reaction of other people viewing the

area, size and price. Once you weed out all of the places that do not fit your criteria, give your real estate agent a list of the properties you want to view in person. They can schedule an appointment for you and you will already have an idea of what to expect.

house. You might even overhear some great questions or ideas that you might not have thought of otherwise. The selling agent is usually there as well to provide you with any details and/or history of the home.

114 Stella Drive N. Providence RI $162,500. The Paiva Agency 401-438-0111

Although this may seem like a never ending process, it will all be worth it in the end. I found my first home by visiting an open house. And I just knew…this is the one! You need to follow your heart since you will only have one first home. Look for my next blog in the My First Home series featuring “The Moving Process."

First-time Home Buyer Loans: Pros and Cons

If you're in the market for a new home, navigating the range of home loans to find the one that best meets your needs can be difficult, particularly if this is the first time that you are buying a home. To make things easier, the federal government and most states offer home loans tailored to first-time home buyers. These loans offer attractive benefits that can make the home buying experience both less costly and less restrictive. However, these loans don't suit every first-time buyer - you should look into what the benefits and drawbacks are before signing up for one of these loans.

What is a first-time home buyer loan?

A first-time home buyer loan is a mortgage tailored to people buying their first home.

While definitions vary for what is a first-time home buyer, it is usually someone who has never been listed on a deed as the owner of real estate (you would need to confirm this with the loan provider when looking to obtain such a loan).

First-time home buyer loans often require a

24

NEHomeLife.com | March 2014

low down payment (if any), reduced interest, limited fees and the possibility of deferring payments. These types of loans are offered at a federal level by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and by most states.

FHA first-time home buyer loan programs offer easier qualifying guidelines than many other loan types, such as allowing for higher debt ratios, lower credit scores (even if your score is under 700), limited down payments (usually 3.5 percent of the purchase price) and reduced closing costs and fees.

Many state loans for the first-time home buyer are funded by the federal government. Most offer low interest, comparatively smaller down payment requirements and reduced fees.

Pros of first-time home buyer loans The comparatively lower restrictions on these loans make them ideal for first-time home buyers, particularly if you do not have a significant amount of money saved for a down payment, you have a limited ability to meet high interest payments and fees, or your credit score is not high enough to qualify for other

NMLS#616522

“Over 25 Years Of Bringing New England Home” loan types. Even if you do have funds saved for a large down payment, the low interest rates on first-time home buyer loans are often too good to pass up.

The aim of these loans is to bring the American dream of home ownership within the reach of as many citizens as possible, and they have been a great success in helping families who would otherwise not have been able to buy a home.

Cons of first-time home buyer loans These loans may not be the best option for all first-time home buyers. In particular, most loan programs for first-time home buyers impose a limit on the cost of the property you're looking to buy. Often, the loan limit may only be 60 to 75 percent of what you could receive with a conventional loan. This means that your chances of using one of these loans to buy a more expensive property are limited.

If, for example, you are hoping to buy a large family home in a middle- to upper-class metropolitan neighborhood, you can probably forget about finding a first-time home buyer loan program that will be willing to lend you the amount of money you need.

Some of these loans don't require you to purchase private mortgage insurance, but you may need to take out insurance provided by the loan program, the fees for which aren't always as attractive as for private insurance.

Despite these drawbacks, a first-time home buyer loan could still be the most attractive type for you depending on your financial situation and the type of home that you are looking to buy. The most important thing is to get started by contacting a mortgage partner before you begin your search. Call me for an appointment Peter DeFusco 508-678-1166.

West Bristol County Massachusetts Attleboro’s, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Swansea, Dighton | by NEGM Staff

T

he western most communities of Bristol County, MA offer some of the best value in the state for homeowners. These small rural towns have a quality of life and great proximity that make them popular choices for families in the Southcoast region as well as those who work both in Providence and the Boston markets. With their prime location and small town charm it’s no surprise that they are seeing steady growth and high demand with buyers.

Attleboro - Envision RE Condos 508-455-0057

In Attleboro the MBTA connection to the greater Boston market has opened up new opportunities for families to live in West Bristol County towns and have easy access through public transportation to great jobs in the metro Boston area. With the huge shortages in median priced housing in greater Boston, this has given the region an economic advantage. The ride into Boston is less than 1 hour on the MBTA from Attleboro as opposed to an average drive

Rehoboth C21 David Smith 508-252-1000

time in traffic of 1.5 + hours. Riding the T is not only cheaper than driving but also allows you tasking time on route.

West Bristol County communities are a short drive to the Attleboro, Mansfield and Lakeville MBTA terminals.

Add the quality of life, affordable homes, open space and access to great schools, shopping, far less traffic, the metro Boston markets and you have a formula for growth that’s unmatched in the region.

Density is a very important statistic when it comes to small towns, it represent the number of residents per

square mile and often is the main indicator of the economic health on any community. Each of these towns has a great rural feel, good schools, affordable taxes and plenty of open space. Quite simply in today’s real estate market, this adds up to value for residents.

Property values are steady and resale in these communities has seen gains over the last 2-3 years. In the years ahead consumers will put good management at the top of their list when choosing towns to live in. Let’s face it, what good is living in the county when taxes are not affordable for residents. These western Bristol County communities will see growth moving forward and increased values as well.

Live Where You Play

Golf Course Living in New England

By Tim Branco

If you love golf than nothing is better than living close to your favorite place to play. While this is easy in Florida where thousands of golf courses and golf course communities offer endless choices at almost every price point. It is a little more of a challenge here in New England where there are far less golf course communities to choose from. There is also the option of living adjacent to a golf course and in most cases finding a home abutting a private country club is always a better value in the long run.

Golf Courses are great neighbors and 100 + acres of well maintained park like property abutting your home creates a wonderful environment for living and enjoying the great game of golf. Golf is a sport unlike any other that you may play well into retirement years and enjoy time on the course with family and friends.

Private golf course membership has become much more affordable in the last 10 years with many facilities offering all types of flexible categories of

membership at their clubs. It is never too late to take up the game and golf offers great exercise for those that enjoy walking. The average golfer can walk up to five miles during an 18 hole round.

The Bay Club in Mattapoisett offers one of the best golf course community experiences in New England with a pristine facility located just off Cape Cod in Southeastern, MA. The homes and facilities are simply magnificent and the club offers a full slate of activities besides one of the finest private golf facilities in New England. On the other end of the spectrum in Taunton, Ma Indian Ridge Condominiums are built bordering Segregansett Country Club one of the regions most historic private golf courses dating back to 1893.Indian Ridge is nestled neatly alongside the course with only 40-50 units and is a very private well developed complex. There are a number of residents who are members at the club.

If you play golf, live where you play and enjoy all the benefits of golf course living in New England.

Historic Fall River Country Club:

Come Play, Relax and Entertain

BY STEVE RIGGS

The history of Fall River Country Club is as rich as the game of golf itself. Originally a historic 9 hole layout, it was expanded to 18 in 1975. It is considered one of the best layouts in New England by some of golf’s most famous and legendary players, including Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet and Bobby Jones to name just a few. In fact many players would stop to play Fall River CC on their way to the U.S.Open Championships in Newport and in Boston in the early years of the game in New England.

The famed 9 holes underwent a full course augmentation to 18 holes by the golf architectural firm of Cornish and Robinson opening in 1975. The original 9 is part of this magnificent venue situated along the banks of the Taunton River. Players face a true test of golf with undulating fairways that meander through some of the most beautiful vistas to be found anywhere in New England.

The course can be stretched to 6300 yards from the tips. A par 70 layout from all three tee boxes guarantees every club in the bag will be used regardless of skill level to navigate this historic gem of New England golf. The original his-
