Breaking News For Hoboken FHA Buyers

Hoboken condominium buyers seeking FHA financing have found it difficult to find buildings that could either meet FHA requirements, or have already been FHA approved. This is for several reasons, from the builder's just simply never applying for FHA approval, to there not being adequate insurance, or owner to tenancy ratios... FHA approved buildings in Hoboken are not that easy to come by. You should work with an agent that is experienced and versed in FHA requirements so that they can more easily identify a building that on the surface looks like it could pass approval, then dig a little deeper once you have seen the home to have the questionnaire filled out for confirmation of approval.

I thought it would be helpful to publish a list of buildings that have already been approved. Here is an updated, current list of buildings in Hoboken.

There are several others that are now pending and will be updated in the near future.

Hoboken Mortgage Update As Some Buyer's Wait...


If you're shopping for a condo in Hoboken, you know that mortgage rates have crept up in the last few weeks from their recent low in March of 4.8%. Since then rates have inched up to 5.3%, and I've read many predictions that they will continue to go up, in the near future to at least 5.5% including Lawrence Yun himself, chief economist NAR.


Here are a few articles relating to the recent rises





On a 100,000 mortgage what does that look like? Assuming you are getting a conventional mortgage with no points, here is the scenario.

$100,000 at 4.8% looks like $480 a month.
$100,000 at 5.3% looks like $530 a month, and
$100,000 at 5.5% looks like - you guessed it, $550 a month.

If you had locked in your financing at 4.8 percent, you are saving $70 a month which over 5 years saves you $4200.

Might not seem like much, but what if you were borrowing $300,000?

4.8% = $1440
5.3% = $1590
5.5% = $1650
Now the savings really start to add up. In this scenario the savings is $210 a month, $2520 a year and $12,600.

What does this mean?

Well, if you were waiting for a condimium you saw to reduce by $10,000 or accept your bid of $10,000 lower than what the seller is willing to accept, then by waiting, you've unfortunately paid that money by financing it over just 5 years.

Bottom line: if you've found a home, consider rising interest rates and compare it against the money you are looking to save off of the price to see if truly you are saving or just financing the savings.

April so far has 20 condominiums under contract. Numbers for this past week will be reflected in the next few days' pending notifications.

Real Estate Tips - Prepping Your Home For Showings

Prepping For Showings

It's nearly impossible to keep your home in a "show-ready" state day in and day out. In many cases you may find that your home will be shown to a prospective buyer with very little advance notice.

Even if you're keeping things as clutter-free as possible, a little preparation for the actual showing is probably in order. Here are some short-term ways to get your home looking and feeling its best. I recommend that every morning you leave the house ready, this way you can accommodate all showings to increase traffic.

Step 1: Cleaning Frenzy

  • Scrub tile in the kitchen and bathrooms.
  • Thoroughly clean hardwood floors.
  • Vacuum carpets. If time permits, rent a steam cleaner to shampoo carpets, particularly in high traffic areas.
  • Dust all wood furniture, TV screens and computer monitors.
  • Clear counters of all clutter. If time permits, move unnecessary appliances and decorating touches into storage areas.
  • Clear the kitchen sink and counters of all dirty dishes.
  • Pick up all dirty laundry. Avoid over-filling any open air hampers - laundry is better kept out of sight inside your washer or dryer.
  • Remove stains from bathtubs, toilets and sinks.

Step 2: Critical Eye Test

  • After doing the first round of cleaning, take a walk through the house with the perspective of a buyer. Look for clutter, excess furniture or highly personal touches that might turn off prospective buyers.
  • Try taking pictures of main rooms with a digital camera for an "instant review".

Step 3: Curb Appeal Checkup - This may not apply to you for condominiums

  • Sweep the entryway, porch and walkways.
  • Mow and water the lawn or yard.
  • Store any toys or garden equipment.
  • Clean up pet droppings.
  • Clean gutters and downspouts.
  • Add potted plants to the porch or deck.

Step 4: Closing Touches

  • Turn on all lights.
  • Open drapes and blinds.
  • Open windows to let in fresh air.
  • Burn scented candles or open jars of lightly scented potpourri. If you don't have either on hand, you can always bake cookies (the oldest trick in the book) or simmer a few drops of vanilla extract on the stove.
  • Turn off all TV's, stereos and computers.
  • If possible, relocate pets to a friend or neighbor's home during the showing.
  • Clean the litter box thoroughly to rid your home of smells. If pets can be temporarily relocated, remove the litter box entirely.
  • Hang fresh towels in every bathroom.
  • Put fresh liquid soap or bar soap in each bathroom.
  • Remove rugs to showcase hardwood floors.
  • Put out fresh flowers and fill candy dishes.

    Concrete Building Gets A Makeover


    How fabulously urban is this little planter!!!? It looks like a miniature warehouse building typical to those I've seen around Jersey City and in the western parts of Hoboken.

    My DailyCandy email included this pic and I had to log on to look at it a little closer.

    You can buy it on ebmer.com and it retails for $48. A wonderful gift for a city dweller of for your own pad.
