While HUD announced the return of the HUD $100 down payment program for Denver HUD homes last week, it has been hard to find many details on their website. We’ve been doing plenty of digging and made some phone calls and found out a little more information for all of you.

Denver $100 Down Payment HUD Program:

• Purchasers must be owner / occupants
• Purchasers must utilize FHA insured financing
• Purchasers must offer full list price for the HUD listing

We’ve communicated with our preferred lender, and they are aware and able to assist you in getting qualified for this amazing program. Just give our team a call at 303-726-1874 and we can get you qualified and looking at Denver HUD homes today!

As a side note, while the $100 down payment HUD program is a great opportunity, we can also help you with the low down payment Homepath program offered on Denver Fannie Mae homes. In addition, there are several low down and $0 down programs available through our lender that we can help you with. Just give us a call at 303-726-1874.

Some good news for Denver Homes this morning from Case-Shiller via the Denver post. For the 4th time in the last 5 months, Denver homes prices showed an increase. This is in line with what we’ve been reporting her for months now. Denver’s housing market is recovering, slowly, but it is trending upward.

Much of this has to do with the fact that Denver encountered housing issues before the rest of the country and is now coming out of it sooner. In addition, the prices of homes, and resulting Denver foreclosures, never dipped to the extent that it did in many other areas of the country.

From The Denver Business Journal:

But Denver home prices rose 0.4 percent in August from the previous month, better than the 20-city composite growth rate of 0.2 percent.

Denver home prices were flat month over month in July but rose in April, May and June from the previous months, with increases ranging from 1.4 to 1.6 percent. Before that came 10 straight months of price declines from the previous month.

Among the other 19 cities covered by the report, the only places to see a year-over-year home-price gain in August were Detroit (up 2.7 percent) and Washington (up 0.3 percent).

We’re seeing a steady demand from buyers, and yesterday’s news that Denver HUD homes will be included in the $100 down program should help this as well. If you’d like to talk about this or just have questions about Denver homes in general, give our team a call at 303-726-1874.

This is fantastic news for anyone looking at Denver HUD homes for a potential purchase! HUD just announced that they are bringing back the $100 down program for their HUD homes.

We’re getting more details on the program now, but basically, these are standard FHA mortgages with one exception: instead of requiring the buyer to put a 3.5% down payment, the buyer is only required to put down $100. This makes Denver HUD homes suddenly much more attractive to a standard homebuyer than any of the other available Denver foreclosures on the market.

While Denver Fannie Mae homes and Freddie Mac homes have had some financial incentives to buyers, this $100 down program will increase the demand for these homes. As I’ve mentioned several times before on this blog, HUD homes in several Denver areas typically recieve multiple bids and many times sell for more than the listing price.

If yo’d like to learn more about this program or Denver foreclosures and HUD homes in general, give our team a call at 303-726-1874. We can answer all of your questions and get you on the road to buying a HUD home with $100 down!

Some good news came out at the end of last week for Denver Homes for sale. An article in the Denver Business Journal reported data from Hanley Wood LLC ranking Denver’s housing market 10th out of the nation’s top 100 cities.

In the report, the executive director reinforced what we’ve been saying for a while: The Denver housing market is beggining a slow, gradual recovery.

From The Denver Business Journal:

Denver achieved its ranking because its home values are holding steady, its foreclosed-homes inventory is dwindling, and its economy is stronger than most other markets.

“Denver is at the end of a long valley, but there’s still a slow, gradual recovery ahead,” said Jonathan Smoke, executive director of research for Costa Mesa, Calif.-based Hanley Wood. “The good news is, it’s not getting worse. Denver is right at the point of recovery.”

Our team has seen the demand for Denver foreclosures and Denver HUD homes increase drastically over the past few months. Homes priced correctly are moving very fast and when priced aggressively, are resulting in multiple bid situations.
