FHA Loan Limits for Long Beach-Los Angeles and Orange County - Long Beach Real Estate News

Leave a comment »

Long Beach Real Estate News

New FHA Loan Limits

Los Angeles County and Orange County FHA loan limits are rising January 1, 2009. What does that mean to todays home buyers? This means that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans remain high through the end of 2008, buyers can qualify for higher loans on homes closing prior to the end of this year. Once the New Year rolls around buyers will have less buying power due to the lower loan limits. This is true for all residential loans, including; homes, condos and residential investment property under 4 units.

Current FHA Loan Limits through 12/31/2008
Maximum Loan Amount
One Unit Limit
$729,750
Two Unit Limit
$934,200
Three Unit Limit
$1,129,250
Four Unit Limit
$1,403,400


Whats the big deal? Lower maximums loan amounts means decreased buying power.


FHA Loan Limits Effective 1/1/2009 Maximum Loan Amount
One Unit Limit
$625,500
Two Unit Limit
$800,775
Three Unit Limit
$967,950
Four Unit Limit
$1,202,925

Today is November 16, 2008. It is still possible to find and close on a home or condo before the new lower loan limits take effect. If you have been thinking about buying, were contemplating putting that purchase off until after the New Year and are in the price range that would be affected by the new lower FHA loan limits, you might want to consider getting out there right now while you can still take advantage of the higher FHA loan limits. Remember, your escrow must close prior to 12/31/2008.

Green Living in Long Beach California - Water Conservation

1 Comment »

Owners of Long Beach Homes have a unique opportunity to contribute to the environment, go green and conserve water.

Water ConservationDid you know that most homeowners over water their lawns by 30% to 300%? That’s a whole lotta wasted water folks! I have to admit, I’ve been guilty of doing this myself on occasion, it’s just so nice to have a lush, green lawn and it shows a real pride in Long Beach home ownership. With the economy in shambles and water in short supply and sporting a hefty price tag, now is a good time to think of creative ways to both conserve water and money in our Long Beach Homes.

Ric Romero of ABC Eyewitness News reports: Rob Patten of Agoura Hills lives on 3/4 of an acre. His water bills have been coming in at over $300 monthly, a staggering number which made him decide to do something about it. After installing a new gadget called Cyber-Rain he has been able to reduce his monthly bill by about $100 and conserve a fair amount of water at the same time. See How it Works.

Cyber Rain XCI is an 8 zone sprinkler system which claims to save homeowners 30% to 70% on their watering bills through the use of their PC and automatic weather updates from the Internet by automatically adjusting the amount of water usage based on weather and seasonal conditions. It even provides the ability to check your water usage on your computer. Ingenious!

Jonathan Neidnagel, CEO of Cyber-Rain claims that this system can pay for itself in 3 or 4 months. Priced at about $295 this is not a cheap system, but may very well offer the best return on the investment and is a wonderful green contribution to the environment. Read more about this product and the effect it can have on our Southern California community over at the Cyber-Rain blog.

A big thanks to my friend Joe over at the Sellsius Blog for finding this great gadget.

HALLOWEEN History and Resources

Halloween

Halloween

All Hallows Eve - The evening before All Saints Day

The history of Halloween places it’s origins in the ancient Celt culture (Irish) as a festival known as Samhain.  Samhain celebrates the end of harvest season and was a time to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock (I am thankful for supermarkets) for the long hard winter season ahead.  Ancient Celts believed that on All Hallows Eve the walls between the living and the dead overlapped.  They believed that the dead would come back and wreak havoc on the crops and cause illness. Celts performed colorful rituals involving costumes and bonfires (I like parties) in an attempt to placate the evil spirits. Kinda creepy, huh?


The Irish potato Famine (1845-1849) resulted in the migration of some two million Irish to the United States who brought the holiday with them.

HalloweenIn the United States, Halloween has become the sixth most profitable holiday after Christmas, Mothers Day, Valentines Day, Easter and Fathers Day) and has become our second most popular holiday, which is marketed to children and adults alike.  According to the National Retail Federation, the most popular Halloween costumes for adults are, in order: witch, pirate, vampire, cat and clown.

BIG research conducted a survey for the National Retail Federation in the United States and found that 53.3% of consumers planned to buy a costume for Halloween 2005, spending $38.11 on average (up 10 dollars from the year before). They were also expected to spend $4.96 billion in 2006, up significantly from just $3.29 billion the previous year.

The carved pumpkin, lit by a candle inside, is one of Halloween’s most prominent symbols. This is an Irish tradition of carving a lantern which goes back centuries.

The jack-o’-lantern can be traced back to the Irish legend of  Stingy Jack, a greedy, gambling, hard drinking old farmer who tricked the devil into climbing a tree, and trapped him by carving a cross into the trunk of the tree. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack which dooms him to forever wander the earth at night. For centuries, the bedtime parable was told by Irish parents to their children.
