Patti Ramirez, Home Buyer in 85308

i want to buy a house no money down or assume a loan in glendale, az. excellent credit, any lenders doing this

Asked Fri Nov 14 2008, 14:19 by Patti Ramirez  -  Glendale  -  Home Buying  -  4 answers
DONALD KEYS answered:
My partner did a check of all the homes SOLD last month on our MLS and only 16 of the over 5,000 homes sold had an assumable loan. So the odds are against you on finding an assumable loan.

The only ZERO DOWN programs that are available are VA Loans. Are you veteran and have eligibility?

The minimum required down is 3% for an FHA Loan and that goes to 3.5% in January 2009.

You are advised to consult a bank, accountant and mortgage professional for specific details on programs available. No specific mortgage is being offered.

Troy Dixon, Home Buyer in Scottsdale

Hello, What is the down payment for this poperty? Are there any defects in the home? Thank you for you

Asked Wed Oct 29 2008, 16:29 by Troy Dixon  -  Scottsdale  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
DONALD KEYS answered:
When you work with a BUYERS AGENT, he or she will go over the Seller's Property Disclosure Statement. The owner is required to disclose to any buyers any defects that are known.

A general home inspector will be able to discover any unknown defects and you are free to hire as many different inspectors as you want (roof, plumbing, pool, mold etc...) in order to make sure you understand the true condition of the home you are buying.

I hope this helps. If you are not working with a BUYER'S AGENT, you can contact me at 623-337-8965 ext.1

Michael Loes, Just Looking in 85260

What is the average time on market for homes in zip code 85260?

Asked Mon Oct 27 2008, 17:34 by Michael Loes  -  Scottsdale  -  Home Selling  -  8 answers
DONALD KEYS answered:
Michael,

Keep in mind that real estate is local. A zip code is consider a "big area" when it comes to determining statistics. What is happening in your neighborhood, is most likely completly different from what is happening in the next subdivision or across the street.

If you are considering selling your home then you might want to get a

If you plan on interviewing REALTORS for the job of selling your home, I would love to have a chance to talk with you about my unique listing programs. Currently my team and I are working with over 150 buyers and we may know someone that is interested in your home.

Remember - Real Estate is local and every market is different.

I hope this helps. - Tue Oct 28 2008, 07:38
