When Wells Fargo came out with the announcement that they were gong to work with Home Depot my first thought was that this wasn't the way it was intended.  Home Depot would have a single contractor for each trade that they "approved" for each store as I recall. The FHA 203k is a "spread the wealth" program intended to lift all ships in the harbor not just one ship in each harbor.  I am still hearing it hasn't worked out the way they thought it would be, by limiting the competition they actually helps a very select few contractors have carte blanc to charge whatever they wanted and eliminated the competition. That actually has hurt the program and had they maintained fair pricing it would have worked (some did btw) but many didn't and it hurt the program in my opinion.  By eliminating th...

How to buy a house:  With a higher inventory than lower price points, you may be lulled into believing this is the same buyer's market prevalent the past few years.  But it is not - a 1.6 month absorption rate is a seller's market. Be cautious, but aware that the best homes will go fast. How to sell a house:  As more homes appear on the market in this price range it is apparent that asking prices are still staying above selling price.  Be realistic about your price. Feel fr...
