We just completed our 4th weekly radio show, and we focused on the First Time Buyer Tax Credit, the values of working with a Local Lender, and got to hear a first hand experience from one of Eun-Mi Passmore’s clients who just closed on a home in Southern Pines. His story really does hit home. Victoria Spannaus from Wells Fargo and Tim Venjohn our Association President were our guests.
Next week we will be speaking with Wayne Haddock of Pinehurst Homes and Bill & Sue Reaves from the Moore County Homebuilders Association.
Although they don’t podcast the shows at this point, you can go on line to hear the broadcast.
We are starting to get alot of interest from our local area professionals who want to participate.
Thanks for indulging me:)

What you should do before buying a home on a lease option?
Get a title report. That should tell the buyer whether the seller can deliver the title when the time comes and what the outstanding liens are. If there are extensive tax or mechanic’s liens on the house, that could be a red flag.
Get an appraisal. This will ensure that the house is worth the agreed-to price.
Get an inspection. If the foundation is cracked or the furnace needs replacement, you’ll want to know that before you sign a contract.
Seek legal help. You should approach it like you are buying a home; a real estate attorney can help you avoid any contract missteps.

New York, Texas, Florida. For the second straight year, those are the most expensive states in which to get a mortgage. Nationwide, the average origination and title fees on a $200,000 mortgage this year totaled $3,118, according to Bankrate’s annual survey of closing costs. The fees in the survey don’t include taxes, insurance or prepaid items such as prorated interest or homeowner association dues.
Fees in New York City were highest, averaging $4,016 in Bankrate’s survey. Houston came in second, with fees that averaged $3,975. After that came Buffalo, N.Y., with fees averaging $3,845, and then Miami, at $3,683. North Carolina had the least expensive closing costs in the survey, at an average of $2,650. The previous year, Indiana took the last spot.
The annual survey of online lenders is conducted by obtaining fee estimates for a $200,000 mortgage in each state’s most populous city.
