First-Time Home Buyer's Tax Credit Deadline Is Approaching!
Do you qualify for the First-Time Home Buyer’s Tax Credit? The answer might surprise you! It’s not just for first-time home buyers. Please contact me if you have any specific questions about the qualifications of this tax credit because it is on a case-by-case basis. Please e-mail me at dray@shorewest.com or call me at (414) 412-7980.
The purpose of this blog post is to offer those who qualify a suggested course of action as the deadline is quickly approaching.
To qualify, your transaction must close before December 1, 2009 (or on or before November 30, 2009).
Many mortgage providers and title companies are expecting a large spike in activity during the final months leading up to this key deadline.
Therefore, here is a suggested time line for those who still want to take advantage of the free money:
Closing Date: Before December 1 (On Or Before November 30)
However, title companies will be swamped on this date. Closing attorneys and conference rooms will be difficult to find. November 30 is a Monday. Other notable dates: Thursday, November 26 is Thanksgiving. Friday, November 27 and Monday, November 30 will be very busy dates as well for closings. Most companies are closed the Friday following Thanksgiving (this might be the case for title companies as well).
For cushion, I suggest that you plan accordingly and make sure your transaction closes before Thanksgiving.
Most buyers like to close on Fridays to allow moving to take place over the weekend. Therefore, I suggest closing on or before Friday, November 20.
Acceptance of Offer:
It used to be a safe bet to figure 30 days from contract to closing. If you are feeling lucky, then I suggest having an offer accepted no later than October 21. This is not the date that you should begin the negotiations!
Most mortgage providers and title companies are expecting huge delays throughout every step of the transaction (most of which is even beyond my control). These professionals are suggesting that the 30-day rule should not apply during this period. A few are suggesting 45-days (at the very earliest from contract to closing). Most believe that the 30-day rule should be increased to 60 days during this period. I also recommend giving you 60 days from contract to closing to ensure that your closing occurs within the set time frame.
Therefore, I recommend that your Offer is not accepted no later than September 21 to ensure that your closing occurs prior to December 1. Again, this is not the date you should begin negotiations.
Begin Search:
This depends on how much time you would like to give yourself to search for your next home. September 21 is five (5) weeks from tomorrow, August 17, 2009 (five open house dates).
Please e-mail me at dray@shorewest.com or call me at (414) 412-7980 and let me know if you have any specific questions regarding the First-Time Home Buyer's Tax Credit.

The Business Journal of Milwaukee: City approves Rivianna plan
On July 21, Milwaukee Common Council members voted in support of the latest mixed-use real estate development, Rivianna.
Rivianna, an $80 million proposed development, will be located along the banks of the Milwaukee River in Milwaukee’s Fifth Ward neighborhood. Rivianna, located at 236 South Water Street, will be located near Lighthouse Development’s $125 million South Water Works mixed-use development on East Pittsburgh Street.
Rivianna will feature three 15-story towers, 166 residential units, a 128-room hotel, and ground-floor retail.
Harry Drea, managing partner of Rivianna Development Group LLC, has thanked the neighborhood and city officials for support and is looking forward to breaking ground soon. According to Drea, they are continuing to work through the final stages of financing for the project.
My Thoughts
Rivianna and South Water Works are two recent examples of how the real estate market continues to show signs of life. Every so often, I read articles about how the real estate market is starting to show signs of improvement. Many real estate professionals are reporting that we have hit bottom and that we will slowly begin to see signs of improvement. During a time of hearing about cancelled projects, it is refreshing to hear about two projects that are moving forward.
Pete Millard, writer for The Business Journal of Milwaukee, provides more details about Rivianna and its impact on the City of Milwaukee. Click here to read more about the latest mixed-use development>>>

JSOnline.com: Tighter standards make getting condo loans more difficult
Many of my condominium purchasers are finding it more challenging finding a mortgage lender that is willing to work with them. It has become an even greater challenge for financing new condominium developments. It’s not because the banks don’t want to lend. It’s because Fannie May and Freddie Mac, government-backed mortgage finance companies, have tightened their policies for purchasing loans from banks that are used to purchase condominium units. Banks typically pass these additional costs on to the purchaser by requiring larger down payments and charging higher interest rates.
It’s not enough to have a good credit score, a well-paying job, and a savings account with a balance large enough to cover 20% of the purchase price for a down payment.
My ThoughtsThere is good news for many condominium purchasers in today’s market. All is not lost. There are two local banks that are still funding condominium units especially new condominium developments. AnchorBank and Johnson Bank are assisting buyers in today’s market to purchase even brand-new condominium developments (e.g. Cityside Plaza, The Point, The Edge, Landmark On The Lake, etc.). Johnson Bank is holding their loans versus selling them to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. By choosing to hold their loans, Johnson Bank doesn’t need to meet the strict lending requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
I have recently joined the sales staff at Cityside Plaza where we have an established relationship with Johnson Bank. During the past week the developer of Cityside Plaza, Magnet Group of Chicago, closed on the sale of two brand-new condominium units. In addition, during the past two weeks, we have secured purchase contracts for four brand-new condominium units. According to Johnson Bank, condominium purchasers are able to secure a loan for as little as 10% down for Cityside Plaza. Therefore, if you need a second or third opinion, I would recommend that you contact Johnson Bank and AnchorBank.
Tom Daykin, writer for The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, describes the challenges that many condominium purchasers face in the current condo market.

The Business Journal of Milwaukee: Milwaukee area housing recovery? Sales increase in June, but it may be just a blip
I continue to see signs of a slow recovery in the housing market. In June, housing sales in the Milwaukee Metro increased over the same month period the year before. Many real estate professionals contribute this increase to the first-time home buyer tax credit.
I’m a real estate professional so naturally many consumers ask me about the state of the housing market. I immediately respond to inquiries by asking a question: What sub-market are you referring to? Bay View? North Shore? Wauwatosa? Elm Grove? Lake Country? Most consumers appreciate that real estate is very local and the market can be as different as the community. Are you asking about single-family homes? Condominiums? Investment properties? The type of ownership varies greatly within a single community.
Despite the overall increase in sales activity, not all sub-markets are seeing the same results. In another recent blog post titled “JSOnline.com: Tighter standards make getting condo loans more difficult”, I discuss how mortgage providers are making it more difficult for buyers to purchase condominium units. Mortgage providers are also making it more difficult to purchase non-owner-occupied investment properties (e.g. two-family, multi-family dwellings). Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have implemented stricter lending guidelines for investment properties and condominium units. These stricter guidelines generally mean buyers need to provide a larger down payment and be willing to borrow at higher interest rates.
Molly Newman, writer for The Business Journal of Milwaukee, provides additional statistics regarding the housing market and includes the opinions of other real estate professionals regarding the current housing market. Click here to read more about the state of the current housing market>>>
