News From Fannie Mae

Everything! | Posted by Cheri Diehl

Thinking of purchasing an “REO” (bank owned) property?  Fannie Mae is offering homeowners up to 3.5% of closing costs if they can close by June 30.   Fannie Mae’s program, “Home Path” provides financing with low down payments and no mortgage insurance.  Note that you must be an “owner-occupant” to receive the closing assistance.  Inventory of REO homes on at the beach has dwindled in the past months – could it be we’re on the mend?

Ready to invest?  Here’s a deal you will want to check out.  Sellers own 13 lots with prices at $19,500 and $22,500.  They want to move them now!  All reasonable offers will be considered.  Buy more than one and get an even better deal!  Check out these Surfside lots zoned Multifamily/Commercial.  Build townhomes, condos, or single family residences. There is a potential for partial ocean views from some lots. The golf course is steps away and it’s a short, easy walk to the ocean.

Clamming Tomorrow!

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the dig – the second of two openings this month – after marine toxin tests showed that the clams on all four beaches are safe to eat. Two beaches – Long Beach and Twin Harbors – will open for digging April 19 through April 22 until noon each day, plus April 23 until 1 p.m.  Fishery managers agreed to an extra hour of digging Saturday, April 23, because low tide won’t occur until 11:27 a.m. that morning, said Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager.
