Home prices have declined in many areas of Southern California because of the severe change in lending standards, an increase in the amount of foreclosures and easily frightened buyers.
This decline has caused sellers stress because their homes are staying on the market 6 months or longer. Although, inventory has increased with resale's, short sales, foreclosures and new homes sales however, this gives buyers variety, but because of the housing market that existed before many of the loans that were created are gone, the market is stabilizing, the buyers are at a stand still, fear of the unknown and then you have the avoidance of certain type of home sales, that will limit sellers the opportunities to sell their homes fast. However, interest rates are still good, there's a variety of loan programs to meet the personal needs of each qualified individual. The loan qualifications standards have changed and they are changing daily. There are loan programs out there; just to name a few CalHFA First-Time Homebuyers Program, CalPERS Member Home loan Program, My Community Mortgage Loan Program etc, so if you are interested in purchasing a home now or in the future, know that the programs listed are an options, however as of OCT 1, 2008 there will be some changes. FHA's will have the inability to insure loans that utilize a seller-funded down-payment assistance program. Down-payment assistance from family, employers and other nonprofits is still allowed and more. Also, if are a senior and you are interested in info on reverse mortgage or would like to obtain a reverse mortgage please call me .It's also great to know, FHA's limits have increased, new developments have great incentives and most sellers are willing to work with buyers, some seller's are even pricing their homes to sell.
In short, the home values have declined across the country giving homebuyers the best buys they've had in last four years.
