We may have hit the bottom this last June, believe it or not? As housing sales increased this summer, we saw problematic areas such as Southern California see its first increase since 2005- a whopping 16%, Phoenix up 17% and Florida showing signs of leveling off. National homebuilders are back to buying land- Lennar Corp., K.B. Homes, Hovnanian and Meritage are shifting from defense to offense and scooping up land for future developments. Even Mad Money, Jim Cramer of CNBC in his Mad Money Blog states, “I am now telling you that between now and the next six months you have to buy a house!” Barry Habib of the Mortgage Market Guide and frequent commentator for CNBC addressed a Las Vegas conference last week with his forecast of a stock market bottom in January as fourth quarter news are released with Christmas sales and a possible downturn in real estate in October testing the June bottom as we saw down payment money freeze up when the stocks tumble in October. Habib continued with his assessment that we may see a 7800/ 7400 Dow as market lows are tested. Most important, Habib stated historically the real estate market usually bottoms six months

before the stock markets. If this theory holds true then a forecasted January stock market low could signal last June’s real estate lows? Is this a good time to buy a home? This is definitely a buyer’s market! Just this week, we saw interest rates drop to 2003 Lows with 30 year rates in the 4’s and 5’s! Plus your negotiating power in this market is greater than at any point in the last several years. If you are interested in buying a home for the long-term, this is a great time to do so. First Time Home Buyers- 2009 should be a banner year for you to buy homes and you will need to act quickly. Not only does the market afford great opportunity now, you also have till June to take advantage of the $7500 Tax Credit approved by Congress. Investment Property buyers- 2009 is the time to enhance your wealth. Foreclosures and reduced priced homes avail today for you to find properties to cash flow or benefit you tax wise with minimum down programs. Brian Buffini, real estate and mortgage trainer, recently said at a conference, “In every downturn cycle, there are EIGHT times more millionaires created! Now is the time to take advantage of today’s opportunities.”

NEWS Has a bottom in the housing market been established? (CONTINUED FROM FRONT COVER) John D. Rockefeller said, “The time to buy real estate is when blood is flowing in the streets.” There has been much panic selling in the real estate market where today’s deals will not likely be around in the future. Of course, there will always be deals available, but the type of deals available today are not going to last forever. Everyone talks about buying low and selling high and picking that magic target of market bottom. But a common sense approach to picking the market bottom has always been helpful. When you see consumer despondency and depression, then NOW is the time to buy! We definitely are experiencing this today and months ago.

Stocks/ Mutual Funds/CD’s versus real estate? Last eight years real estate has afforded the best growth with positive returns while the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P500 showed negative returns. Buy real estate! As long as your timeframe is greater than two years, now is probably the best real estate buying opportunity in over two decades.

Interest rates for 2009 and when should I refi? Many times in 2008 we saw a recurring pattern when low 5’s are reached for the 30 yearfixed, then we immediately see rates move to the 6’s. This holds true today. 30- year fixed rates can be sought in the low 5’s with points and higher 5’s with no points. What a bargain! Jumbo’s in the high 5’s and low 6’s for 30-year fixed. What a deal! When we see real estate sales increase and economic news improve, then expect to see interest rates rise. As we see the pendulum swing back to a stronger economy one day you will see interest rates rise on the prospect of this news. Hence, now is the time to refi while you have these incredible lows.

How to protect yourself in a real estate transaction By Dian Hymer Inman News Service

It's no wonder that buying or selling a home ranks high on the list of the most stress-provoking events one can experience, up there with the death of a loved one and divorce. There's a lot at stake financially when you buy or sell a home. A good or bad outcome can affect your net worth, as well as your sense well being. There are a lot of factors involved in buying or selling a home that are beyond your control. For example, interest rates could jump unexpectedly, or an inspector might uncover a defect that you were unaware of. However, there are steps you can take to maximize your chances for a successful real estate endeavor.

The first step is to hire the right professionals to help you accomplish your goal. If you don't already have a real estate agent, mortgage broker and closing agent that you've worked with successfully before, ask friends and associates for recommendations. Take the time to interview each referral carefully to make sure that there's a good fit. Make sure to check references. If you have any doubts about a candidate, continue the search until you find qualified professionals with whom you have good rapport. A common mistake home buyers and sellers make is to underestimate the time it takes to get the job done. Resist the urge to pile additional work on yourself while you're in the midst of a home

purchase or sale. By doing so, you'll be better able to manage stress. HOUSE HUNTING TIP: One of the keys to ensuring that your real estate venture will have a happy ending is to make a commitment to stay involved in the process every step of the way. Even though you hire professionals to assist you, they aren't the decision-makers. You are. Problems can arise if you relinquish control and let your real estate agent or mortgage person make decisions for you. Let your agent know that you want to be kept informed of developments as they arise. The sooner you know about a problem, or potential problem, the sooner you can work on resolving it. Don't be shy about asking for an

explanation of a facet of the business, or your transaction, that you don't understand. If you don't buy and sell real estate on a regular basis, you shouldn't expect yourself to know the ins and outs of the business. As tedious as it might be, it's important to read and understand every document before you sign it. Make sure you receive copies of everything you sign. It's a good idea to retain these documents, even after the transaction closes. If there's a problem during or after the transaction, this documentation could prove invaluable in proving your case. It's also wise to keep a transaction log. This can be something as simple as a notepad on which you record important transaction-related conversations.

Keep the log with your other transaction documentation in case you need to substantiate who said what later and when. Be nice, but let your real estate team know what you expect from them. This should include periodic written or verbal updates. If you're not receiving the service you need, let this be known. Don't expect the people working for you to be mind readers. You should expect that problems of some sort will arise during the course of your home purchase or sale. How you work through the problems has everything to do with the parties involved and how well you communicate with one another. THE CLOSING: Good rapport is worth its weight in gold.

Home seller credit could save real estate deal By Dian Hymer Inman News Service

No one likes to give money away, but a monetary credit from the seller to the buyer can solve a problem that might otherwise derail a home-sale transaction. Here's a typical scenario where a seller credit could save the deal. The buyers are stretching to buy their dream home. Tapped out financially, they panic when they discover during their home inspection that the roof needs replacing. The inspector impresses upon the buyers that the roof must be replaced immediately; it can't wait. But the buyers don't have enough extra cash to cover the cost of a new roof. One option for the buyers is to back out of the deal, and find another less expensive house, or a house with a roof

that's in better condition. But this puts the buyers back in the market searching for a new house. And the sellers have no recourse but to put their house back on the market, and search for another buyer. Another option is for the buyers to ask the sellers to credit them enough money to take care of replacing the roof. If the sellers are willing, the transaction stays together. The sellers will net less from the sale, but the sale will close. If more time on the market means less money for the seller, this could be an acceptable solution for both parties. There are other benefits to be derived from this approach to repairing property defects. One is that it relieves the sellers of the burden of having to oversee work while they're in the midst of

moving out of the house. Another is that buyers often prefer to oversee the work themselves to make sure that it's done properly. Also, there's often not enough time to have repairs done before closing. HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Before you ask the seller to credit you money at closing, check with your mortgage broker or loan agent to find out what restrictions your lender might have regarding seller credits. Usually, lenders will only allow a credit for up to 3 percent of the purchase price. Also, most lenders limit the amount of money they'll allow a seller to credit to not more than the amount of the buyer's nonrecurring closing costs. Nonrecurring closing costs are onetime-only costs that a buyer pays at

closing, such as loan origination fees or transfer taxes. Recurring closing costs are those costs paid at closing that are part of ongoing expenses a buyer will pay, such as homeowner's insurance or mortgage interest. Lenders don't like money to pass from the seller to the buyer if it in some way lowers the amount of the buyer's cash down payment. But they will usually allow a seller credit that offsets the buyer's nonrecurring closing costs. This means that you won't walk away from the closing with a check for the amount of the credit in your pocket. Instead, the seller credit will lower the amount of money you need to bring to the closing. The money you save can be applied toward repairing the property defect. Seller credits can be useful when

buyers are short of the cash required to make an offer. Let's say you have enough saved for a 10 percent down payment. But you are shy the money needed for closing costs. Your purchase offer could include a provision for the seller to credit you an amount at closing to be applied toward your nonrecurring closing costs. A credit lowers the seller's net proceeds. So, you may need to increase your asking price to cover the amount of the credit if you're in competition, or if the property is attractively priced. THE CLOSING: Just make sure, before you do this, that the property is likely to appraise at the higher price
