kw.com If someone bought stock two years ago for 0 a share, and that same stock is now trading at a share, no one would expect a buyer to pay 0 a share just because that’s what the stockholder paid. The same is true of real estate. The value of a house does not depend on how much you paid for it. Nor does it depend on what your neighbor says their home sold for, or how much you may have invested in home improvements that please you. Instead, the value of a house depends on what the market tells buyers it’s worth.

Hello Friends, Have you heard the news? It seems too good to be true and most likely it is. Believe me, having our economy jump started by creating a home purchase flurry sounds wonderful on paper and I would love to see it happen if it could work, but my concerns are laid out in the video. The biggest concern I see in the preliminary talk on this just accounts for new home purchases, not refinances. If this is true, the same critical problem that is occurring with FHA insured loans which had to put safeguards in place to stop this problem is a practice called “Buy and Dump”. In some markets and more as this idea spreads, it is where a person would be living in a neighborhood and their neighbor’s home went into foreclosure on top of the decline they have already seen in their home value and they could get the same cookie cutter house for a 1/3 or more of what they owe or their value. Then they get qualified to buy the neighbors home stating they are going to keep the current as an investment and than once the deal closes, they stop making payments on their last home. Add to the equation they can do this AND get a rate at 4.5%, this unethical phenomenon would continue at a scary pace. So as good as it sounds, there is a lot of safeguards to be worked out. Also, another concern is that people will get into homes they cannot afford because of the low rates and end up buying too big of home the cannot afford and when the economy does turn around and the rates are back at an …
