Atlanta, Ga - Real Estate Mortgage Insurance

Becoming an atlanta, Ga Homeowner Search Atlanta Homes By Map
Many Americans dream of owning their own homes, but few families
are able to pay cash for them. Many people who could not
otherwise afford to own a house become homeowners with the help
of FHA mortgage insurance programs.

Helping people obtain financing for their homes is one of the
chief purposes of FHA. FHA is the Federal Housing Administration.
It is part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).

Once you have found the home you want to buy, you must decide how
to finance your dream. This booklet gives you information about
FHA programs to help you meet that challenge. It explains:

     *    How FHA mortgage insurance works.
     *    How to shop for a HUD-approved lender.

Real Estate Housing Crisis Is Over.

According to an article posted today by "The Wall Street Journal" our housing crisis has ceased to decline. That's right, we are actually hearing some positive news for a change. The real estate market bust from 2005 has finally bottomed out. The article speculates that it could be as much as 15 years before we see a boom like we did a few short years ago. With home prices as affordable as they are right now we are seeing more and more buyers creep out of the wood-work. Here in atlanta, investors have already been taking advantage over the past few months and will certainly reep the benefits in the coming years. Here is a link to the article. "Click Here" Let me know what you think (comment section at bottom of this page). Thanks - Your Atlanta Real Estate Pro

10 Tips To Sell Your Atlanta Home This Spring!

10 Tips to Sell A House Faster This Spring "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is never more true than when purchasing a home. No one needs to remind sellers that today's market is a challenging one. In fact, there are on average more than 11 months of inventory on the market at any given time. So it is vitally important that you make sure all of your listings stand out above the others that are competing for the buyer's attention. Here are some very basic pointers you can print out and share with home sellers to help get them headed in the right direction: 1. De-Clutter: This one is simple. De-clutter everywhere; inside and outside. If it's taking up space it is a potential candidate to be thrown out. The sellers need to make that all important mental conversion from "home to live in" to "house for sale." Personal things are a big distraction as you want the buyers to be able to visualize their own belonging in the house. 2. ..(read more)

Atlanta Real Estate Search. Map-Based Property Search is Best Tool for Searching Homes in Atlanta, GA

Wow, if only I had this service when I was searching for homes this spring. The Heather Stanton Team has an amazing tool that allows buyers to search for homes by selecting neighborhoods on a map. It is so simple and useful and far exceeds other neighborhood searches. The difference between this neighborhood search and the numerous sites other agents offer is this: You can visually see on the Atlanta area map all the homes listed in the section you selected. Simply draw a box (you may have to draw more than one to narrow in your search to a street level view) over the map in the area you are interested in. If it is a broad section you will see little dots (more than 100 homes in the area you selected,) and as you zoom in on your selection, the homes are represented by little home icons. As you hover your mouse/cursor over the home icons a second information box pops up with basic details and pictures of the house your mouse/cursor is hovering over. You may then opt to click on ..(read more)

Atlanta Real Estate Update

Happy Cinco De Mayo! There have been a number of articles written as of late indicating that renting is a smarter choice than purchasing a home right now. Although, renting may be necessary for some people, home purchase remains a smart choice for most. Long term, home ownership is one of the best investments most of us can make. There is not only appreciation over time, but there are also significant tax benefits. My advice is don't let the negative press on home ownership frighten you away from one of the most sound investments you can make. Right now with home prices being soft and mortgage loan interest rates low, home purchase is a safe bet. Have An Awesome Week!

AND HERE'S YOUR MONDAY MORNING COFFEE!! Sincerly, Heather

What are mortgage points and when should you pay them?

More Homes For Sale in Atlanta, Ga What Are Points and When Should You Pay Them? Points are up-front fees paid to obtain a better interest rate on a loan. One point equals one percent of the loan amount. A lower interest rate may result in a lower monthly payment, but it is important to consider how long you intend to be in the loan, and to compare current rates to historical market trends.

If you take out a $300,000 mortgage and decide to pay one point, this translates into an up-front closing cost of $3,000. Paying a point up front saves $100 a month but it will take 30 months to recuperate the cost of that point. If you decide to refinance or sell the home before the 30-month mark, your money is lost. In this case, you would benefit financially by remaining in the home longer than the 30 months.

Atlanta Real Estate. The future looks bright.

News journals recently published a conducted study comparing real estate costs to income levels in the 50 largest metro areas in the United States. They did this by comparing median home payments alongside household income levels. The results showed that California is (not surprisingly) the most expensive place to try and own a home with the median California homeowner spending over 75% of their monthly income on their mortgage payments. That was not a typo… I said 75%! According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, home costs should not add up to more than one third of monthly income so other life necessities can be purchased… clothes, food, etc. Lucky for us, atlanta was in the Top 10 list for the most affordable home markets in the U.S. Good news for Atlanta, Ga! Not too shabby for this so called “market crisis” the media is painting for us. While other parts of the country are definitely hurting, our market here in Atlanta is ..(read more)
