Fort Collins Real Estate has seen the same slump a lot of the nation is facing right now; however, we are starting to come out of that slump, which is great news for Loveland home buyers and sellers!
But there is a group that still needs some here and your expert Loveland and Fort Collins REALTORS are here to help!
When you are trying to sell your home, but can not sell it for what you owe on it, then you are caught in a short sale. Short sales can be maddeningly frustrating for all involved, since each one has to be approved by the mortgage lenders.
Lenders can often take weeks or, in worst cases, months, to respond to a short sale offer. Why? Because they are getting overloaded with requests AND in a short sale, they are getting paid less than what was originally promised. So even though someone may be able to prove hardship in making their Loveland home payments, the lenders still aren’t super excited to lose money.
So what is a home owner to do? Make sure you work with an Expert Fort Collins Realtor, who understands the short sale process for your area inside and out.
Because even when things do go smoothly and your short sale is approved, there can still be mistakes in how long the paperwork gets back to you, making it impossible to close in time and forcing you to start over. Unless you contact an expert Loveland REALTOR and let me help with every step of the process.
Short sales can be frustrating, but don’t worry; the real estate team at Century21Humpal.com is here to help you every step of the way.
Are you thinking about how to start the short sale process, or what to see if a short sale might be an option so you can avoid foreclosure? Then contact us, your expert Fort Collins, CO real estate agents, with all of your questions and concerns.
Until next time,

There is a lot of information out there about the $8000 First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit that any Loveland Area Frist Time Home Buyers can take advantage of using. But sometimes, a video can be worth more than 1000 words. Here is a great explanation of the major points of the tax credit, from the Chief Tax Economist from the National Association of Home Builders:
The FAQ referenced at the end of the clip can be read here.
Recently, Bridge Loans made it possible to use some of the tax credit towards the cost of the home, such as for closing costs, as additional down payment, or as part of the mortgage interest rate buydown cost, rather than waiting for the full refund to come later. Be wary of people claiming they can help you get the money quickly though-it is best to consult your Lender and tax professional.
So what does this mean for Loveland Home Buyers? It means that if you qualify for a home, and the time is right for you to buy a home, this tax credit can make it that much more affordable. No one buy yourself can tell you if the time is right to start searching the Loveland MLS for your dream home, and regardless of home prices nation wide taking a hit, you should only go into buying a Loveland Colorado home if you feel the time is right for you and your family-don’t feel like you have to jump on the band wagon just because other’s are claiming the time to buy is now.
