$8000 Tax Credit To Be Extended

The $8000 Federal First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit will most likely be extended. The Senate passed a bill yesterday extending it until the end of June and inserted a $6500 credit for homeowners who have owned for five years and are buying a different property. Certain income limits apply. Stay tuned. The Bill now goes to the House and the President.

Hoan Bridge

You just have to scratch your head and wonder why some ideas are floated. Take for example the Hoan Bridge discussion. The thought is if it wasn't there it would open up the Jones Island area to development. That's what was said about the Park East Freeway. I don't know if you have seen North Water street lately but the proposed hotels etc. have not been built. There is vacant land downtown as a result. Do commuters want to wait for a lift bridge or drawbridge? The reason the Hoan was built in 1977 was so drivers wouldn't have to stop when ships entered the Port of Milwaukee. How long would it take for the area under the Hoan to be developed? 20 years? 50 years? Is there any reason why we shouldn't keep the Hoan Bridge? What do you think? Shouldn't the discussion be about adding bike lanes?

Milwaukee Mortgages

Milwaukee mortgage money is available. We have seen a rebound in the mortgage business which began in mid-December and continues. We hope the rest of the economy will also rebound but many signs point to that occurring in 2010 or perhaps a bit sooner. Mortgage rates have remained low for about 7 years. They are as low today as they have been since 1971. Many people have closed at 5% on a 30 year fixed with us. This is not often available but each week there is a window of opportunity when we can take advantage of market turmoil and short term pricing and lock this rate for our customers. Many people are doing FHA Loans but they do have a loan limit smaller than Jumbos which are currently at $417,000. The FHA loan limit is based on the county where your property is located. An advantage of FHA financing is higher loan to values and a more reasonable monthly mortgage insurance payments. The mortgage insurance companies, like MGIC and others have stopped insuring any loan over 85% Loan To Value. FHA allows around 97% financing depending on a number of factors.
