Take Advantage Of The Home-Buying Lull During Holidays
Q My husband and I have been waiting for home mortgage interest rates to drop further. But recently they went up. Do you think interest rates will drop, or did we miss our opportunity to buy a home?
A: It rarely pays to try to buy a home or refinance a mortgage with the absolutely lowest interest rate. Yes, mortgage interest rates recently increased slightly, but they are still a bargain compared with rates a year or two ago. I think you are using interest rates as a justification for delaying your home-buying decision.
The time between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day is absolutely the best time to buy a home. Why? Because there are few buyers in the market, and motivated home sellers will consider any reasonable purchase offer. Although mortgage rates increased slightly from their bottom, if you buy a home in the next month the seasonal price drop should more than compensate for a slightly higher home loan interest rate.
About eight months ago, we bought our home with the help of an FHA mortgage. It was a brand new home. We presumed it was built to FHA quality standards. But many problems have occurred such as settling and roof leaks; doors don't close easily and the front porch concrete slab is badly cracked. The builder has gone out of business. He bankrupted the corporation he formed to build the houses in our new area. But he is still in business under another corporation name.
Several nearby homeowners and I have hired a lawyer to go after him, but he is very crafty and any recovery could be years away. Do we have any recourse against the FHA for failure to properly inspect our homes? What about city building inspectors?
A: City building inspectors are protected by immunity, unless you can prove fraud or other wrong doing. Mortgage lenders do not guarantee homes on which they make mortgage loans.
The FHA insures your home loan only for the lender who made the loan. This FHA protection for lenders usually results in slightly lower interest rates for borrowers. But the reason FHA inspects new homes before approving FHA loans on them is for the lender's protection, not the borrower's.
Your best protection against faulty new home construction would have been a 10-year warranty policy from a third-party warranty company. The best home builders provide these warranty policies for their buyers, so if the builder doesn't correct any defects then the warranty company will. But I presume you did not receive such a 10-year warranty policy when you bought your new home.
Unfortunately, your only recourse is against the home builder. It is very common for shrewd home builders to form corporations to build a new tract and then either dissolve or bankrupt the corporation after the project is completed. However, your attorney may be able to "pierce the corporate veil" and go after the home builder's other assets, especially if he is still in business under a different corporate name.
Q: We plan to sell our home in early 1993, so we are talking with real estate agents about their ideas of its market value - if we should fix it up before sale, and information about their brokerages. One agent told us he takes only 12-month listings, but allows sellers to cancel after six months if they are unhappy for any reason. The other agents want six-month listings. Is this customary?
A: No. Don't sign any listing over 90 days, unless it has an unconditional cancellation clause allowing you to cancel without penalty after 90 days.
