Paint to Sell Your Home

Paint to Sell: Painting Tips to Ensure a Quick Home Sale

No matter how much you rearrange or decorate a room, nothing affects appearance like a fresh coat of paint. When you enter a house, your eye may be drawn to little decorative touches, but all the staging in the world will fall flat if your paint is drab, dirty, or goes against the potential buyer's taste. Considering that a gallon of paint is only about $25, it's also an inexpensive way to give your home a makeover.

Choosing Colors to Appeal to Homebuyers
Using colors that make the buyer feel "at home" will help you sell your home more quickly. You want them to look at each room and be able to literally see themselves and their belongings fitting inside your walls. Inspire a feeling of peace and relaxation, and part of the sale is already done!
Neutrals and soft colors create a soothing, calm atmosphere. Homebuyers can more easily visualize the paint colors they want when other colors aren't bombarding them at every glance.
Avoid bold, vibrant or dark colors. Even pure white can prove overwhelming. Stay away from trendy colors no matter how good they look to you.
Keep in mind color psychology. Not only do certain colors calm you, but the shade can also affect the room itself. Light colors make a space appear larger. Dark colors, on the other hand, make the room feel smaller. Of course, sometimes a darker color is good if you want a certain effect. A cozy den with a darker color and a bright, cheery kitchen with a lighter color may work best to highlight each room's appeal.

FHA Back To Work Home Mortgage Program

FHA Back To Work Home Mortgage Program offered by HUD/FHA.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced guidelines for borrowers seeking to purchase a home after going through a foreclosure, short sale, deed in lieu, or bankruptcy. Certain "eligible" borrowers may now qualify for an FHA home loan in as little as 12 months after the "event", opposed to the previous 24-36 month required waiting period.

This program is specifically designed for borrowers who could no longer afford their mortgage payments due to an "extenuating circumstance", such as a job loss or reduction in income of 20%. The event have had to take place for a period of At LEAST 6 months prior to a foreclosure, short sale or bankruptcy.  Even borrowers who went through both a bankruptcy and a foreclosure may qualify as long as they have fully recovered from the "economic event".

FHA is allowing for the consideration of borrowers who have experienced as "Economic Event" and can document it:
    *Certain credit impairments were the result of a loss of employment or a significant loss of     household income beyond the borrower's control.
    *The borrower has demonstrated full recovery from the event and
    *The borrower has completed housing counseling program.

It is important to note that there needs to be good satisfactory credit for at least 12 consecutive months following the foreclosure to qualify. This includes the following:
    * No history of delinquency on rental housing payments (This would mean that the underwriter is going to want a letter from your landlord to verify this)
    *No more than one thirty (30) days delinquency on payments due to another creditors (this will come from your current credit report)
    *No collection accounts/court records reporting (other than medical and/or identify theft) on your credit report.

To qualify, you must be able to document the loss of employment by obtaining:
    *Signed Tax returns
    *Proof of income loss from your employer or previous employer
    *Proof you went from full time to part time work

If you were effected by the economic downturn and you are wanting to buy a home, give the Hoffman Home Team a call today.  The Hoffman Home Team works with lenders that know about this program. We are here to help you to get ready to buy again.  Call Us Today!
