It has not been hit too much as compared to the rest of the country - especially in the localities closest to the metro stations. We have not seen much appreciation since 2005, but there are not too many under the water. So it is still attractive as an investment.
Most people might qualify either for $8k tax credit or for $6,500 tax credit. The credit is claimed when the home buyer files or amends his/her federal income tax. So complete Form 5405 and attach a copy of the settlement statement. Most importantly you do not need to sell your current home in order to be eligible for the repeat buyer credit. Call me at 703-577-4277 for details.
By now most people know that you have to get a ratified contract before April 30, 2010 and have settlement before June 30, 2010 to qualify. But do you know that if you are a member of the uniformed services, Foreign service and some other categories, you can complete the purchase before April 30, 2011? Need assistance? Call me at 703-577-4277.

Only one property is under contract. Two have been sold since January 1 - with 10 and 17 days on the market respectively.
This is just another proof of the weirdness of this market. It is still dormant. Very few properties come to the market. But if a property is priced right, is in sought-after location and in good condition, there are 5-6 offers within a couple of days. Most of the listings go under contract within the first 7 - 10 days and settle in about 30 days.
Of course, you should be ready: get preapproved before you start your serious search and be ready to act once you see something you really like.
Good luck!

What are you asked when shopping for a loan?

What are you asked when shopping for a loan? I will not be tired to repeat that before starting to search for a property you should talk to a couple of lenders to make sure that you can get a loan. IT HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO CLOSE A LOAN! These are the questions that any experienced loan officer should ask you (+your spouse)- so be prepared for your conversation:
1. How much of a mortgage payment do you think you can you afford? (a payment range including taxes and HOA or condo fee).
2. Are you buying the property as a primary, 2nd home, or investment property.
3. Is the property a SFhouse, townhouse, or a condo?
4. How long have you (+ your spouse) been on your current job.
5. Are you hourly, salary, or self-employed. (how are you paid - twice a month or every two weeks)
6. Do you pay or receive child support/separate maintenance.
7. Have you had any bankruptcies or foreclosures in the last 7 years.
8. What are your total assets to include checking, savings, 401-k, stock options, etc, etc. And how much of this do you want to use.
9. Do you rent and or own - how long have you been there. Do you pay by check, cash, money order. And have you ever been 30 days late in the last 12 months.
10. What are your total debts?
By all means, tell a loan officer if your credit was pulled in the last month or so, and if so, give him your credit score. He does not have to check your credit and lower your score if you can give him all these answers. Good luck! Need help? Call or email me.
