First Time Home Buyers Rebound the Market
I was very surprised to see the statistics that the number of first-time home buyers rose to 47 percent of all home sales from 41 percent of transactions in last year’s study, and was the highest on record dating back to 1981. Moving from the previous high of 44% set in 1991.
With these first time home buyers they also ended up buying houses in the median price range of $156,000 down 
$10,000 from the year previous. Most of those first timers financed their home with FHA financing which seems to be the norm nowadays. With conventional financing requiring more down, the FHA option that only requires 3.5% down is an attractive option to buyers who haven’t padded the nest egg to pay for the down payment
the first time home buyers that actually came up with the down payment used a variety of sources 61% used their own savings accounts, 22% received a gift from a friend or relative, 6% got a loan from a friend or a relative, 6% tapped into their stocks and bonds, and another 6% tapped into their 401 K. The glaring positive in this is that 96% of consumers chose the fixed-rate mortgage. NO MORE ARM’s!!
These home purchases did not come with out sacrifices on their part whether it be cutting back on expenses, selling off “toys,” and spending less on clothing. I think these are all things we have to expect to do when making one of the largest investments that we will make in our lives.
The median down payment on houses was 8%, and the number of buyers purchasing homes with no money down fell from 23% in 2008 to only 15% currently. It seems we all may be learning our lesson and trying to use our money more responsibly. I hope this only continues to help the process, and our economy recover from mismanagement of finances on a global level.

Moses Lake Market Update November 2009
It looks like the last month has slowed down for us in pendings. We had more pendings last year in the month of November then we do this year. So is the First Time Homebuyer Credit working for us?
It definately has impacted the solds as you see there were more sold in the month of November this year then last year at this time.
With 367 active listings at this time there is tons to choose from!
December always ends up being a pretty slow month for activity with everyone gearing up for the New Year. It is always a great time to start getting your house ready to sell if you are going to list in the New Year.
Don’t forget to get the advice of a professional Realtor on what you can do to make your house more sellible we are always here to help!

Eye-opening blog about what the problem really may be…
For those of you who missed Think Big, Work Small this morning… according to InterThinx, the mortgage
fraud specialists, appraisal fraud is up 46% from the same time in 2008. InterThinx
But wait, who would be the perpetrators, has not HVCC made us safe? Thanks to HVCC, Mortgage brokers, those evil, underhanded, self-serving scourges of real estate and sole cause of the mortgage crisis have not been able to order appraisals (except FHA) or even talk to appraisers in the third quarter of 2009.
OMG, that leaves (choke) the innocent victims of wicked mortgage brokers, Banks. There must be some mistake because we all know that banks would never do anything underhanded.
I am sure we will soon learn, probably from a trusted politician, that, possibly, the cause was appraisers still tainted by previous mortgage broker contact. These appraisers will certainly be sent to rehab at taxpayer expense.
Soon, thank god, due to vigilent efforts of our trusted banks and politicians, the world will be a better place. Mortgage brokers will have disappeared, banks will make all home loans unfettered by pesky competitors and politicians will be provided will deserved taxpayer paid Cayman Island vacations to visit their secret bank accounts.
Is that the happy ending what you want?

ATV Corn Maze may be first of its kind
ATV Corn Maze a fun way to spend your time…
This ATV corn maze an be found in a small town outside of Moses Lake which overlooks the Columbia River. This maze is situated on over 100 acres whereas normal corn mazes cover 1 to 2 acres.
Mike Brown and Chuck Yarbro had the amazing foresight to think beyond the normal corn maze and create something that the whole family can enjoy on their ATV’s. For one unit (1 ATV) it will cost you $30.00 to go thru the 4 miles of trails on your ATV. If you don’t have your own don’t worry they can rent you an ATV for $50.00 to complete the maze.
The maze will be open on the 
weekends until the first of the year so you have plenty of time to enjoy it. You can also get group reservations and hours by visiting their Facebook page
