Closing Day: The good, the bad, and the paperwork

Real estate closing day…the most anticipated and dreaded of all days. As if the emotional roller coaster of finding a home, putting in the offer, offer acceptance, and inspections weren’t enough, you aren’t quite finished, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Typically, on closing day, you will be signing two sets of documents, the first is the purchase of the real estate, and the second is the mortgage loan you will be taking on to pay for the real estate. The seemingly thousands of pages of paperwork will have to do with either of these two transactions. Many of these documents are similar in different areas, but some may be unique. The documents listed below are typical in the Nashville real estate market.

At the closing table, there will be an attorney to walk you through each of the following documents, but here is an overview of what you will be expected to read and sign.
- Truth in lending statement, also known as Regulation Z. This document discloses the interest rate, annual percentage rate, amount financed and the total cost of the loan over its life. Make sure that these numbers should match the numbers that you have already received from your loan officer, speak up if the numbers don’t match up.
- Itemization of amount financed. This document basically summarizes the finance costs, such as points, and is more of an addendum to the document above.
- Monthly payment letter. This document breaks down your monthly payment, again make sure that these numbers match the ones that you received previously.
- Note. This is the document where you are actually borrowing the money.
- Mortgage. This document basically states that if you default on your mortgage, that the bank will place a lien on your new home, as security for the loan.

Now that the stressful, money part is out of the way, its time to make the real estate yours. Here are some common documents that will be asked to sign.
- HUD Form 1 or Disclosure/Settlement Statement. This is the actual settlement amounts, again watch for errors.
- Warranty deed. This document transfers the title of the property from the seller to the buyer.
- Proration agreements. This document pro-rates money, for the month that you are closing, i.e. home owner’s association dues, etc.
- Tax and utility receipts. Again, this is transferring information from the seller to the buyer at the State level.
- Name affidavit. This basically says that you are the person you claim to be.
- Acknowledgment of reports. This verifies that the buyer has seen inspection, termite reports, etc.
- Search or Abstract of Title. This is basically documentation of the history of the house.
I know that you didn’t think you were going to get out of closing without coughing up a little cash, so here are the remaining closing items.
- Closing costs. This is the time to write that big check that you’ve been dreading.
- Payment for the house. This is where the buyer writes a check for the down payment, minus any deposits, which is then combined with the lender’s check for the remaining portion of the purchase price.
- Escrow Account. More often than not, the buyer's annual taxes, insurance and other items are paid through the lender. The account is set up at this time.

Another Nashville Condo Auction, this time The West End Condos

As the Terrazzo condo auction looms, another Nashville condo auction comes into play, this time, the West End. The December 5th auction will include 5 one-bedroom units, 25 two-bedroom units and 15 three-bedroom units. The retail value of the condos range between $385,000 and $948,000.
This is a quality building built by a group of local developers led by John Coleman Hayes, but the individual condos were built too large for this market averaging over 2,100 square feet. The interior feels more like a home, than a trendy condo offering buyers a different product in a different location, but it turns out that few wanted to trade in their 4,000 square foot homes for a 3,000 square foot condo that costs twice as much. Perhaps more condo buyers did, but could not sell their home in this market.
The West End is a 12 story, 72 unit, luxury condo tower that only has sold a half dozen condos to discerning buyers. If this is truly a quality building, then why didn't they sell as expected?

1) The developer didn't pre-sell condos
2) The downward economy
3) Poor marketing
4) The units were larger than the market demanded

The auction has been officially announced and none of the details are finalized. The only firm information is that there will be an auction of 45 condos on December 5th, 2009. Few details have been released, other than what is listed on the West End website.

Nashville Home Sales up 23 Percent

Home sales in the Nashville area shot up 23 percent in October compared to the same month a year ago, the Greater Nashville Association of Realtors said today.
It was the first such rise in three years, as first-time home buyers scrambled to take advantage of an $8,000 federal tax credit that has now been extended by Congress.
The median home price in the area stayed the same as it had been over the past three months -- $160,000 – a 6 percent drop from a year ago. Realtors said that was a sign that first-time homebuyers, who tend to buy less expensive homes, are continuing to impact prices.

Terrazzo Auction Nov. 21 in Nashville Gulch

If you're interested in owning your piece of the Nashville Gulch, then why not take advantage of the upcoming auction of the remaining 30 units that will be up for auction on Nov. 21, not only are these great prices, but you will also be eligible for the $8,000 tax credit. Please don't hesitate to call if I can show you a property in the Terrazzo, or any other Nashville real estate properties.

$8,000 Tax Credit: Extended Until April 30, 2010

You read that right, the Tax Credit has been extended until April 30, 2010. Now here is the scoop on the changes.

The original legislation provided an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. The legislation passed by the Senate this week extends the $8,000 credit and expands it to provide a $6,500 tax credit to people looking to buy a new home after having owned and lived in a home for more than five years.

More than 70 percent of existing homeowners will now be eligible to take advantage of this program and use the credit to buy a new home.
Summary of the legislation:

Extends the $8,000 first time Homebuyers Tax Credit and creates a new $6,500 tax credit for homeowners buying a new home from December 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010.
Homebuyers with contracts as of April 30th qualify for the credit so long as they complete the transaction within 60 days.

Available to homebuyers with incomes of up to $125,000 for a single return or $225,000 for a joint return.

Available for homes costing up to $800,000.

Homebuyers who already own a home are only eligible if the home they are leaving has been used as a principal residence for five years or more.
