FHA MORTGAGE LOANS FOR STAFFORD COUNTY VIRGINIA HOME BUYERS - FHA Loan Limit $729,750 and 3.5% Down
ANNOUNCEMENT: New VA Loan limit raised to $729,900 through Dec. 31, 2008
WELCOME TO THE NEW FHA LOAN. VIRGINIA REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITY FOR HOME BUYERS.
HAVING TROUBLE GETTING A CONVENTIONAL HOME LOAN APPROVED? You bet! Is the home you wish to buy in a "declining market"? What's a "declining market"? What's the solution? FHA loan limits up to $729,750 for AQUIA HARBOR, a waterfront community in Stafford County, VA. All of Stafford County is covered by the new FHA loan limit of $729,750. AND the down payment is 3.5%, AND you may qualify for down payment assistance.
DECLINING MARKET. Mortgage companies are smart. While home prices in the Virginia real estate market have come down significantly, conventional mortgages have become harder and harder for buyers to get approved. 5% has become 10% and 10% has become 20%. In designated "declining market" areas, areas where prices have declined, underwriting and appraisal guidelines are much more difficult than in the past 5 years. Mortgage companies want to protect themselves from the risk of making loans on homes whereby the market value is likely to decline. They protect themselves by limiting the amount of money they will lend on properties where there security (the property) will decline in value.
YES! 3.5% Down loans are available with FHA Financing. BUT, THAT'S NOT ALL. If you qualify, you may be able to obtain DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE from the Down Payment Assistance programs offered by the Nehemiah Program. Wait! There's more. With FHA Financing, you may receive up to 6% closing cost assistance from the Seller. Of course, the seller must be willing to make this contribution. In today's real estate market, our buyers agents are negotiating contracts with helpful closing cost contributions to help our buyers with costly settlement costs.
Waterfront Homes in Aquia Harbour are eligible for FHA financing with 3% down.

IF SOMEONE SAYS YOU SHOULDN'T USE THE VA LOAN, DON'T BELIEVE THEM.
We believe the VA loan is often the best mortgage loan for eligible home buyers. Real estate agents who are not familiar with VA financing may try to steer VA eligible home buyers away from the VA loan because they don't understand the benefits of the VA loan for the home buyer. You have earned the right to use the VA loan which is the only mortgage loan that offers true NO DOWN PAYMENT financing and permits the seller to pay ALL of your closing costs. While the loan limit for VA eligible home buyers is $417,000 including the funding fee for ZERO down payment loans, VA financing may actually be used for purchase prices of up to $1,000,000. Homes priced over $417,000 use a down payment based on the amount over $417,000. The down payment is based on the amount over $417,000.
Homefinders has no financial interest in any mortgage company. We do recommend experienced mortgage companies based on our buyer's needs. We do not receive any benefits by way of referrals or any incentive to refer buyers to any particular mortgage company or loan officer. We encourage home buyers to use local, experienced mortgage companies because of the familiarity of the loan personnel and appraisers with local real estate values. If a relocating military service person is already pre-approved by popular lenders for military personnel, USAA, NFCU, etc. we are happy to cooperate fully with that loan provider. Our job is to help you, our buyer client find the very best home for your money and location of choice. We do not pay referral fees to lenders. Any incentives we offer goes directly to our buyer clients, not a mortgage company or relocation company. USAA and other lenders offer rebates to borrowers who use their services. Homefinders will match that rebate but, rather than pay a referral fee to USAA, we rebate money directly to our buyers to assist with relocation expenses.

BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE program - BRAC
Homefinders.com is here to help our military and civilian personnel involved in the BRAC
program moves to Maryland and Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. Finding a home in a new location
can be hard when you don't know the area. Also, the Washington, DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia area
is known as a high housing cost area, when compared with the locations from which our military and civilian
families are moving. The compensation for this increased cost is offset by the higher housing allowances
for military personnel when transferring to this area.
Military and civilian personnel
relocating to Maryland and Virginia will face many challenges in the months and years to come. BRAC is
reassigning (moving) about 60,000 to 80,000 critical service and civilian employees to new duty stations to
further the efficiency of our military and defense establishments. This program will necessitate major
personnel changes in the job locations for local Maryland and Northern Virginia military bases including but not limited to:

SELLERS ARE STUBBORN AND BUYERS ARE RELUCTANT in NORTHERN VIRGINIA
WHERE DO HOME BUYING FOLKS GET THEIR PRICE RANGES??
When the market was hot, buyers were hot to trot.
Now that the market has cooled, buyers are in the deep freeze.
Sellers are watching their equity shrink rather than lower the price.

THE FACE OF REAL ESTATE IN MARYLAND AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA HAS CHANGED.
Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Loudoun County was very rural. Leesburg was a small town with historic charm.
Then, along came the Internet and the face of Loudoun County changed dramatically. Some enterprising
entrepreneurs constructed the first privately financed highway in the area and the result was THE DULLES
GREENWAY. This highway brought Leesburg and western Loudoun County within easy commuting reach
of Tysons Corner in Vienna and McLean where AOL, Alcatel, Coherent, Network Solutions and other Internet
related employers. The Dulles Greenway meant that drive time from Western Loudoun County to the beltway
was no longer an hour in stop and start traffic up and down Route 7. It was now 20 minutes from Leesburg
to the Washington Beltway. Loudoun County was hot. Leesburg is still full of charm, but today Leesburg is
surrounded by homes in communities with contemporary attractions, and subdivisions with paved roads,
sidewalks, public water and services. Real estate prices increased approximately 7% a year matching the
growth rate of Loudoun County.
The changing face of Loudoun County - Homes in the $750K range and in the $1,700,000 range.
WHAT HAPPENED?
From 2002 to 2005, prices of homes in Maryland and Northern Virginia increased about 100%. The recovery
from the attack of September 11, 2001 was rapid. Homeland Security brought in jobs and home buyers. The
FED lowered interest rates to a point where buyers couldn't wait to buy a home. Then about August of 2005,
the spiraling real estate market came to a screeching halt.
IT WAS A PERFECT STORM THAT RIPPED THROUGH THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN NORTHERN
VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND. 100% increase in prices of homes for sale and a 30% increase in interest
rates. 
RAPID PRICE ESCALATION AND INCREASED INTEREST RATES
We watched the interest rates climb and climb. I kept asking, and asking, "WILL THEY EVERY STOP?"
Every quarter as the FED kept rising interest rates that slow drip, drip, drip 1/4, 1/4, 1/4 from a wonderful
4.75% to the now 6.25% plus. Yes, it was like the proverbial show drip water torture.
TODAY, SELLERS REFUSE TO ACCEPT MARKET TRENDS, SOLD STATISTICS OR APPRAISALS.
Rather than negotiate prices, sellers are holding out for last year's prices and buyers are looking at what
their money will buy and going home and renewing their lease. When I qualify a buyer and find that they
are qualified for $350,000, it isn't unusual for the buyer to want to keep their price range to $250,000.
When they want to know what that will buy in Northern Virginia, I send them listings of Town Homes and
Condominium Homes in that range. It isn't unusual for the buyer to then come back and ask what they
can get in a "single". That is buyer-speak for detached. I spoke with an agent from Atlanta today who
wanted to refer a home buyer to me. The buyer insisted that he didn't want to be close to strangers and
that if he couldn't get a "single 3/2" in Loudoun County for under $150,000 on a private lot, he would rent.
I sent the agent the below as an example of what $150,000 would buy in western Loudoun County.
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH PEOPLE ? ?
Back in 2004, a buyer qualified for $400,000 would want to buyer a $500,000 house. Now they look at
$500,000 homes and think they can buy it for $400,000. I can't blame them. They have heard about the
slow market from the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal to a point
where it's a wonder anyone wants to buy a home at all. If it were not for the mortgage interest deduction,
many would not.
There are about 1673 detached single family homes offered for sale in Loudoun County Virginia.
The low price is $185,000 for a 3/1 "as is" home. The average price is $790,000.
WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE SPRING MARKET AND "PENT UP DEMAND"
