Real Estate In The News - Effects of Foreclosures - Raining Cats ...

More than 4 million homes have been lost to foreclosure in the last six years, and many of those former home owners are now starting to ask: When can we buy again? Many banks have guidelines that prevent them from issuing loans to people with a foreclosure?in their credit history in some cases for as much as seven years. That also doesn?t factor in the damage foreclosures?can do to a person?s credit score, and the work former home owners' will need to do to repair it so they?ll have a better chance at qualifying for financing again in the future. Still, some former home owners, particularly those who foreclosed?due to extenuating circumstances like a job loss or illness, are finding the wait may not be as long as they were once told. 'They're probably going to pay a little higher rate, but with rates so low, a higher rate is not that big of a deal. The wait-time varies among lenders and government entities. For example, the Federal Housing Administration says former home owners with a foreclosure must wait three years before they can qualify, while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require a seven-year wait following a foreclosure.? Also, for borrowers who can come up with a higher down payment on their next home purchase, they may also not have as long to wait. For example, Fannie Mae will reduce the wait from seven years to two years for borrowers who come with a down payment of 20 percent or more. Source: The Associated Press
