New Federal Program That Pays Homeowners To Short-Sell
Carlsbad, CA - In an interesting turn of events, the federal government is instituting a program designed to encourage short sales. In this program, expected to start in April, the government will provide $1,000 to the first lender, $1,000 to the second lender, and $1,500 in relocation assistance to the homeowner to encourage a short sale.
Is it enough to really encourage the banks to be more cooperative in a short sale environment? Probably not. Will it encourage more homeowners to attempt to short sell their house versus a foreclosure – maybe. Read the rest of this entry »

5 Home Buyer Mistakes That Could Cost You a Bundle – Day 5
Expect that you will get everything on your “wish list”
One of the biggest mistakes people make is expecting that homes will have everything that they have envisioned. You may luck out and find that one “perfect home.” But more often than not, you will find a few homes that are not quite perfect, but fit 90% of your criteria. Before you start searching for homes, sit down with your agent and and creating a list of needs and a list of wants. Some common “must haves” are the towns you’d want to live in, square footage, or school systems.
The second part of the list would be things you don’t necessarily need but want – a garage, an updated kitchen, or an extra room for an office. By setting the expectation that there probably is no such thing as the perfect house, you will recognize that house that gives you everything you need, and most of what you want, all within your budget.
If you have any questions, please contact The Mewborn Team. We are always happy to help you refine your criteria or steer you in the right direction.

5 Home Buyer Mistakes That Could Cost You a Bundle – Day 4
Use professional help
Sure, You can buy a home without the aid of a professional real estate agent.
But your home purchase is so much more than getting online and finding your home. Your agent has access to what is currently for sale, as well as what is currently under contract or recently sold. Your agent will be able to take this information and schedule time to see the properties, determine pricing, and negotiate on your behalf.
Your home purchase will be one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Your agent is someone who knows the contract, has experience negotiating, and will walk you through the entire process to ensure that your transaction closes, and you get the house you want!

5 Home Buyer Mistakes That Could Cost You a Bundle – Day 3
Yesterday, we talked about getting pre-approval. After being approved, and starting your home search:
Know how much you can afford
If the housing crisis proved anything, it’s that just because a lender says you can afford something, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can. No one can be responsible for your finances but you. To avoid this mistake, create a budget, and try to stick to it. A good rule of thumb is to devote no more than a third of your monthly household income to housing costs (which include mortgage principal, interest, taxes, and insurance).
In addition to your monthly budget, be sure to keep in mind that there are closing costs, appraisal fees, homeowner’s insurance, utilities, and repairs, and maintenance. Keep in mind these expenses before you commit to more than you can afford.
