Holt, Michigan, Delhi Township Has Home Buying Resources


As members of NAR we have many resources available to share with buyers and sellers in our Blog postings, letters, postcards and newsletters that will help generate goodwill, relationships, and drive traffic to your website for searching homes. Just by watching the current events and subscribing to media resources, an agent can develop many valuable tools that buyers and sellers really need in today’s market.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) launched a new Web site to assist home buyers with improving financial literacy, sustaining healthy home ownership and achieving financial security. This is a great resource for you as a home buyer.

We all know people who are upside down on their current mortgage. There is a Guide to help those in foreclosure that is packed with valuable information needed today to assist those who need it. It’s called Hope Now.

FHA (Government backed) Loans are granting a new tax credit. It’s more of a loan, however at 0 interest rate over 15 years. As a first time home buyer, I would make it a priority to review these guidelines prior to making your home buying decision.

Real Estate Cooking in Lansing Michigan, Real Estate Laws That Is.


New legislation is being introduced, often to late these days. Here 's one example of the new requirements that mortgage brokers will have, which should have been done years ago to prevent the fraud that took place between 2001 and 2006. better late than never. Part of the bailout programs and economic stimulus being introduced by congress over the past couple of months are also a good long read, if your up for the juggling act. In the end, I think we will all learn something from this fiasco of a real estate market. One thing I already know is that strong will survive and come out of this with a new appreciation on life, homeownership, and what greed has done to the U.S. economy.
Now that the sun will shine around Lansing Michigan for the next few months we may start reducing some inventory to balance things out. Activity has picked up somewhat over the past few weeks, rates are stable, and as I always say, there has never been a better time to buy a home.
