Get off the fence…
Coupled with home prices remaining relatively low, TAX credits for first time and current home owners plus first time bond monies and down payment assistance makes this a great time to sell and or buy in today's market! What do I do first you ask?
Call me and then I'll get you in touch with a mortgage officer that knows these programs that are available for you.
The foundation of your home purchase begins with getting approved for a loan, obtaining information that could save you money, then with that you are ready to find that perfect home for you and your family.

I love this statement I saw advertising bond money available…"borrower must have sufficient income to repay the loan". Wow, we sure are asking a lot from these folks. When did this become a condition?

Act Now…Not Later
Dates to RememberTwo dates lie on the horizon that will impact interest rates and potentially home prices. The first program scheduled to end is the Federal Reserve's program for purchasing Mortgage Backed Securities. Announced in November of 2008, the Fed began purchasing $1.25 trillion in mortgage bonds in 2009 which will culminate at the end of March. As the intention and result of this program was to lower rates, mortgage rates will likely begin to rise after the program concludes.
In addition, April 30, 2010 is the last day to enter into a home purchase contract and still potentially qualify for a federal income tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers and up to $6,500 for repeat home buyers. The credit can be claimed only on contracts that close by June 30, 2010.
Act Now…Not LaterWhile no one knows for certain what the future holds, one thing does appear clear. Home loan rates and home prices both will be higher in the future. If you or anyone you know is looking to purchase or refinance a home, waiting could be costly!

New flood zones
Fema has recently issued flood map updates through out the country. I remember a property I had in early 1990's that had just been updated to being in a flood plain & this happened 2 weeks before closing. Almost lost the deal!!
With this mapping site, you can enter address, city, etc & find out if the property is in a flood plain or not.Steve Young

Protect Water Pipes During Hard Freeze
A hard freeze is predicted for the DFW Area this week that could result in water pipes freezing. United Carpet Cleaning Systems offers these tips to help our customers prevent problems with water pipes.1. Disconnect and drain all outside hoses. Shut off all irrigation systems and allow them to drain.2. Wrap exposed outside water pipes with materials that insulate against the cold. Hardware and building supply companies sell a variety of products. Newspapers or rags wrapped in plastic will also work for outside faucets.3. Know the location of the main water shut off valve to your house and company and how to use it. If a pipe bursts anywhere, this valve can be used to turn off the water.4. Insulate pipes in unheated areas such as crawl spaces, attics or a garage or warehouses.5. Open cupboard doors in the kitchen and bathroom so warm air can reach water pipes located in outside walls.6. Commercial Buildings – make sure and leave heaters on so that overhead Fire Sprinklers do not freeze.Even if you take these precautions, pipes might still freeze. Make sure you have the name and number of a licensed plumber before an emergency, we are happy to refer one if needed.If you have a water emergency, please call United Carpet Cleaning 817-268-6531 24/7Steve Young
