Home Sales

After double digit increases in sales in the second quarter of 2010, sales were down in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. (The uptick in sales in the fourth quarter of 2009 reflects sales activity driven by the original end date of the Federal tax credit.) In the Central Virginia MLS, there were a total of 2,464 sales in the third quarter of 2010, down 26 percent from 3,346 sales in the third quarter of 2009. Sales were down across the Central Virginia region. In the Richmond Metro Area, there were 2,006 sales in the third quarter of 2010, down 28 percent from the third quarter of 2009. In the Tri Cities Area, the number of sales was down 22 percent over the same quarter last year. Interestingly, the very low and very high ends of the region’s housing market seemed to be sustaining. In the third quarter of 2010, there were 372 sales for homes with sale prices under $100,000, an increase of nine percent over the number sold in this price range last year. These sales likely reflect a large number of foreclosures and short sales. The buyers of these homes also include first-time home buyers. At the other end of the price spectrum, the number of sales of homes with prices of $600,000 or greater was up 12 percent over last year (93 sales in third quarter of 2010 compared with 83 sales in the third quarter of 2009.) These are sales to buyers with good credit and sufficient down payments. This segment is a very small portion of the overall market, at less than four percent of total sales. In most price ranges, however, sales were down. The number of sales in the $100,000 – 299,999 range (which accounts for about half of all sales in the Central Virginia region) was down 36 percent in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the third quarter of 2009.

Home Prices
Despite continued lagging sales, prices were a bright spot in the third quarter 2010 housing market data. For the first time in nearly two years, average and median home prices in Central Virginia were up quarter-over-quarter. The average price of a home sold in the Central Virginia area was $239,059, up three percent over the third quarter 2009 average. The median sale prices was $203,680, an increase of two percent over third quarter 2009.1 The price improvements in the region largely were driven by increases in sales prices in the Richmond Metro Area. In Chesterfield County, average and median prices were relatively flat in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. In Henrico County, however, the average sales price was up five percent and the median sales price was up 11 percent over the same quarter last year. The average sale price in the city of Richmond was up 14 percent, however the median price was down four percent compared to the third quarter of 2009. In Hanover County, prices were down slightly. The Tri Cities Area has not fared as well as the Richmond Metro Area. Prices are still falling in most communities, though there was some price appreciation in Prince George County. 1 The average price is the arithmetic average of all prices of homes sold. The median price is the middle price of all homes sold—that is, half of the homes sold for more than the median and half sold for less.

Pending Sales
Pending sales are an indicator of future sales. In the second quarter of 2010, the number of pending sales was lower than in the same quarter a year earlier, which predicted lower sales in the third quarter. (Of course, some pending sales become closed in the same quarter.) In the third quarter of 2010, the number of pending sales is down even further. In the Central Virginia region, there were a total of 2,796 pending sales, down from 3,609 in the third quarter of 2009. This drop represents a decline of 23 percent. Pending sales were down across the region, with only small increases in Charles City and Powhatan counties. This drop off in pending sales is largely due to the drop off in buyer activity after the expiration of the Federal homebuyer tax credit at the end of June. It is likely that the third quarter of 2010 will represent a low in the number of pending sales and that the trend will be upward (though still possibly off from last year) for the rest of 2010.

Active Listings
The number of active listings was up substantially in the first half of 2010, as potential sellers anticipated new buyers who were enticed by the tax credit. Even after the tax credit has expired, the number of active listings continues to increase modestly. At the end of the third quarter of 2010, there were a total of 9,968 homes on the market in the Central Virginia region, five percent more than in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in active listings was most apparent in the Richmond Metro Area, where the inventory was up by seven percent over a year ago. There was also an increase in the inventory in the Tri Cities Area, though much of that increase was due to a 36 percent increase (198 active listings compared to 146 active listings) in Dinwiddie County.

Outlook for 2011
There was concern that the housing market would fall into a deeper slump after the expiration of the Federal homebuyer tax credit. While sales nationally did fall off in July (compared to June), there has been some evidence of steady increase in sales activity in late summer and into fall. In the Central Virginia region, sales in the third quarter were down compared to the third quarter 2009. However, the third quarter of 2009 represented relatively high sales volume in anticipation of the Federal tax credit’s (first) expiration date. Prices across the region have begun to improve, which suggests increased confidence among buyers and provides a welcome sign for potential sellers. In addition, home price appreciation will reduce the number of homeowners who are underwater and at risk of foreclosure. The housing market will continue to improve slowly, though sales activity in the fourth quarter of 2010 will likely be lower than the fourth quarter of 2009. Prices, however, should continue to rise. In 2011, as the regional economy stabilizes and unemployment drops, the housing market will be better able to improve. The risks to the recovery include low levels of consumer confidence. Consumer confidence may continue to be low in the wake of the current foreclosure processing problems. The resolution of this issue will be a key element to restoring consumer confidence and allowing the housing market to head toward recovery in 2011.

Short on Cash?
Short on Cash? Who isn’t! You might think in this age of very conservative mortgage lending, that it might take a 20% or more downpayment to get a mortgage. Not true! Here are some low down payment options. If you are a veteran, you can get 100% financing, even if you have had a VA loan before. If you are a first time home buyer, VHDA offers 100% financing, and depending on your credit score even 101.50% financing. If you are buying in a rural area, USDA offers 100% financing. In addition to these options, grants are available through lenders (like Presidential Mtg.) who are members of the Fed. Home Loan Bank. Also, FHA loans only require a 3.50% downpayment, and conventional loans require a minimum of 5% in most cases.
Another good way to minimize the cash needed to close, is by getting the seller to agree to pay some of your closing costs. Your realtor can discuss this option with you.
So don’t let upfront cash flow discourage you from taking advantage of this great real estate market. Check out your options!

FREE Down Payment Money with GRANTS

Presidential Mortgage offers Fed. Home Loan grants for down payment and closing cost assistance to borrowers.  Veterans do not have to be first time buyers.  Non-veterans cannot have owned a home in the last three years, or, they need to buy in a targeted area designated for revitalization.  The Federal Home Loan Bank matches the borrower’s contribution 4:1.  The maximum grant in 2013 for non-veterans is $5,000, so the borrower’s minimum cash contribution is $1,250.  Veterans are eligible for up to $7,500 in grant funds, and if they have served in a combat area, they are eligible for $10,000.  The grant is recorded as a 2^nd lien against the property, but there are no payments required, and one fifth of the lien is forgiven each year.  If the borrower lives in the property for 5 years, the lien will be fully forgiven, if they sell the property before 5 yrs., they will have to pay back a pro-rata share of the grant.  There are income limits to qualify for grant funds.  In 2013 the maximum gross income for a single person in the Richmond, Va. metro area is $41,400, for a couple it is $47,300, and the income limit increases with the number of people in the family.  Call Teesie Howell @ Presidential Mtg. @ 804:217-4925  for more information or to apply, or contact her at Teesie.howell@presidential.com.

Over the past years, a large number of people have moved near Lake Anna one of Central Virginia’s best fishing spots which makes Louisa real estate a good prospect for investment.  Louisa is a small town where the North Anna Nuclear Power Station resides.  The power plant has been the job source of many of its community members.  In Louisa, Virginia, you’ll also find an international community, called Twin Oaks Community, sitting on a 465-acre property.  With its diversity and old town charm, houses for sale in Louisa, Virginia do make a great home for families looking for an amiable neighborhood.

Before you go house hunting, here are some things every homebuyer should consider:

Are you ready to buy a Louisa home?

This is the most basic but also the most important question to ask yourself.  Before you go shopping for houses for sale in Louisa, you need to have a stable income source and a downpayment to cut the cost of your mortgage.  A good credit score will also be necessary for lower interest rates on your loan and better terms.

Get a feel of the Louisa real estate market.  If there’s appreciation in house values over the past few years, you might want to wait until homes for sale in Louisa are offered at a more affordable rate.  Get your hands on some market analysis reports and some listing services for home prices in the area.  This will give you an idea about the kind of home you can afford and if it is the right time to buy.

Do the math

There is a lot to consider in the cost of buying a home.  Aside from the mortgage, there are property taxes and homeowners insurance that will add to the total purchase cost.  Also consider the closing price and be very careful with your opening bid if you want to make a good deal.  An experienced Realtor or agent can help you with this.

Consider Louisa foreclosures

The foreclosure market gives you more choices for lower-priced Louisa real estate, but don’t expect huge savings, as these options also come with many hidden costs.

Work with an experienced Louisa real estate agent

Make sure that the agent you hire is a neighborhood specialist to give you the best options and to walk you through the entire process smoothly. Your Louisa real estate agent shouldn’t rush you into buying a property but should be patient enough to help you find what you’re looking for according to your budget and home wish list.

Choosing homes for sale in Hanover County, Virginia can be a tedious task. So to make things easier, you might as well hire the services of a professional Hanover County real estate agent. A real estate agent can help you get the best deal for your money and make the entire buying process go as smooth as possible. Aside from hiring an agent, you should also have a basic knowledge of the process when looking and buying homes for sale in Hanover County.

Looking for homes for sale in Hanover County

When choosing among homes for sale in Hanover County, you need to have realistic expectations regarding your dream home. If you have a specific budget for your new home, you may have to compromise on certain things such as additional amenities.

Along with your real estate agent, you should join open house sessions and visit various homes for sale in Hanover County. During these visits, don’t hesitate to ask questions regarding the construction of the home and the reason why the property is being sold.

Don’t forget to do your homework when looking for a home. This includes studying reports that contain foreclosure and selling rates in a certain area, and the risk factors you have to consider when buying a home in Hanover County, Virginia. Doing so will lessen doubts and guilty feelings, especially after you’ve made a big purchase.

Making an offer

Once you have chosen a specific Hanover County real estate, it’s time to make an offer. Before approaching the seller for the offer, make sure you have made up your mind completely. You can consult your agent or broker on the best approach to make an offer. To make sure your broker or agent won’t cave in when given a counter-offer by the seller, be decisive on the final price you plan to offer.

Applying for home owners insurance

With all the excitement and the tasks you have to accomplish when buying a home, you might forget to apply for a home owners insurance. A home owners insurance policy is very important in securing your newly bought home against incidents or events such as theft or extreme weather disturbances.

Going through the home inspection

Once you’ve made an offer and the seller agrees, it’s time to sign the contracts and go through the escrow period. During this period, you as the homebuyer can subject the Hanover County real estate to a home inspection. The home inspection will cover structural elements, exterior evaluation, and the evaluation of the plumbing systems and other components of the Hanover County real estate.
