In today’s ”buyers” real estate market it’s a wonder why I had to pull out all the stops to get my buyers to the closing table.
After ratifying the contract and with a settlement date set for 5 weeks out, USAA offers my client a great conventional fixed rate mortgage at 100% financing. They appraise the place at $1,000.00 over contract price and with 6 days left before the scheduled closing USAA calls the buyer. USAA insists the values of this local real estate market (Reston, VA) had dropped in the past two weeks enough that in order to fund the loan they would need a whopping $17,000.00 cash down from the buyer in order to settle the deal. Needless to say my buyers calls me to solve the problem!
Fortunately, I had a top notch mortgage broker on my team (Nations Home Funding- Debbie Mullan 703-481-2291 ext 117) who was able to help the buyer with 100% financing and only raised the interest rate 3/8 of a point- She even took the application on a Sunday afternoon and had it through underwriting and submitted to the settlement attorney with 2 days to spare. Ironically Debbie’s appraisal STILL HAD THE UNIT APPRAISING FOR $1,000.00 over contract price. I guess Reston’s real estate hadn’t really dropped in value as USAA described!
Sadly this doesn’t seem to be an uncommon story these days. I suggest another contributor to our stagnant market is attributed back to the mortgage types that the buying community is able to get, versus all of the interest only and deferred payment options offered a few years back - seems some of the new lending restrictions and “Free-to-Do whatever they want” spirit may have forced a lot of folks who were once in the market right back out!
BUYER BEWARE and don’t underestimate a lenders ability to change the name of the game at any time before the closing table!

With another first time buyer….
After a weekend of counter offer leading to counter offer it is final today…. we ratified…I have a soon-to-be satisfied first time buyer who just tonight came to my office to finalize the signatures on a great condo here in Reston, Virginia. We are expected to settle in less than 30 days, just in time for Thanksgiving in their new home.

I’m particularly proud of this customer since, like my other first time buyer this past weekend, this customer has taken the time to understand the market and review all their options (without beating down the door of every single available unit) they paid close attention to what they wanted and looked for it. They focused on their ”Location-Location-Location” and then we scoured the market within those parameters. They were realistic on the offer and knew what to expect for a counter offer and are now soon to be proud new homeowners.
It’s weeks like this that I love my job! Keep those referrals and first time buyers headed my way!!!!!!!!
