Unaffordable mortgage? The past two years we have seen a growing need to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, and the government has offered you an incentive…the program is called “Making Home Affordable”…or HAFA (for short).

Also known as the “April Program”…this program is designed to help homeowners whose mortgage payments are too BIG for a loan modification to lower them to affordable levels.  HAFA sets timeframes n the short sale process to increase the chance of success and shorten your waiting time.  They have provided an incentive to the lender, the program gives every party a further reason to avoid the foreclosure process.

THE BIGGEST BENEFIT HAFA PROVIDES TO HOMEOWNERS IS A $3,000 incentive for a successful short sale or deed in-lieu,two foreclosure alternatives.

A SHORT SALE WILL ONLY LOWER YOUR CREDIT SCORE BY AS LITTLE AS 50 POINTS, AS OPPOSED TO THE 250 TO 300 POINT DROP FROM FORECLOSURE.

Bill to Extend Homebuyers Tax Credit Goes To Pres. Obama

First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit

Yes, home sales have declined since the homebuyers tax credit has expired BUT there is a push to help the pending deals in escrow that were not able to close by June 30th to add a three-month extension for the homebuyers tax credit. The bill now goes to President Obama to be signed. Here are some of the details as reported by Reuters late last night:

• § Homebuyers with contracts signed by April 30 who failed to go to closing by the June 30 deadline will now have until September 30 to complete their purchases
• § These tax credits include $8,000 for first time homebuyers and $6,500 credit for others purchasing a new primary residence
