Take time to prepare for home purchase

Mar. 14, 2008
Categorized in: Lending
February was quite a month in Real Estate. We are feeling the full effects of reduced loan options for buyers and widening gap in knowledge of lenders keeping up with current market conditions and loan products. It is more critical than ever to get pre-approval for your loan and to understand what type of home your loan allows. Remember, with the sluggish market conditions you have the ability to get everything done before you begin to look for houses. There are many bargains right now and in order to take advantage of them you want to have your agent negotiate from a point of strength, which means approved financing through a knowledgeable lender.
FHA loan has made a tremendous resurgence for the entry level buyer with little money to put down. Here is a link to FHA guidelines but check with your lender for specifics to your situation.

FHA Increases Loan Limits for Prescott

FHA Loan Increases for Prescott Arizona
 
FHA has increased the loan amounts for homes purchased in Prescott.
New limits are:
$390,000 for a single family home (previous $271,000)
$499,250 for a two family home (previous $347,000)
$603,500 for a three family home (previous $419,400)
$750,000 for a four family home (previous $521,250).
 
This is great news for those looking to purchase with a low down payment (FHA currently requires a 3% down). Check with your local lender to find out details. If you don't have a lender familiar with FHA you won't do much better than Laurie Moore of Guarantee Mortgage.
If you are looking to see limits outside of Prescott check out the HUD FHA limits page.
