Not Snowing in Sarasota, Florida

Weather is probably the best reason to buy a home or condo in Sarasota, Florida.
I am working today and I am wearing shorts, deck shoes and and a short sleeve shirt today because I can. I love to go to Siesta Key and Siesta Beach and will probably walk the beach today. I don't swim in the winter because the water temp is around 60 degrees but is over 80 degrees about 8 months a year. I can't say that I hate snow but I don't miss snow shovels, jumper cables, frozen locks, busted water pipes and electric blankets. Last night I slept with the bedroom window open! Sarasota, Florida real estate is a bargin you should not pass up.

Fannie to offer closing cost aid on foreclosures

This is a fantastic bonus and should help the Sarasota, Florida real estate market get back to normal. First Time Home Buyer Credit, Long Time Home Owner Credit and now the Fannie Clocing Cost Credit with mortgage rates still around 5% should help sell a lot of inventory. Anybody ready to buy a Sarasota home or condo should take action now before all of these great incentives are gone.


Fannie to offer closing cost aid on foreclosures

WASHINGTON – Feb. 1, 2010 – Fannie Mae, the largest provider of residential home funding in the United States, announced on Friday that it would start to pay closing costs for buyers of foreclosed homes in its inventory. Buyers of qualified properties will get up to 3.5 percent in closing costs or an equivalent amount for the purchase of new appliances.

Fannie wants to clear out the nearly 50,000 properties it has in inventory – listed on HomePath.com, the Web site created by Fannie Mae last year to sell the growing number of foreclosed homes. The offer is available to any owner-occupant who closes on the purchase of a property listed on HomePath.com before May 1, 2010. Applicable properties can be found on HomePath.com, along with property descriptions, photographs, community and school information, and more.

In addition, some Fannie Mae-owned properties are eligible for special HomePath Mortgage and HomePath Renovation Mortgage financing, which offers qualified homebuyers the ability to purchase with as little as 3 percent down.

"Attracting qualified buyers to the market and reducing inventory of vacant homes is critical to stabilizing neighborhoods and helping the market recover," Terry Edwards, executive vice president for credit portfolio management, said in a statement.
