New Program for Home Buyers - NACA

Just heard about this new program on the news. I think can really help some folks who may not be able to purchase.

The Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America ("NACA") is a non-profit, community advocacy and homeownership organization. NACA’s primary goal is to build strong, healthy neighborhoods in urban and rural areas nationwide through affordable homeownership. NACA has made the dream of homeownership a reality for thousands of working people by counseling them honestly and effectively, enabling even those with poor credit to purchase a home or refinance a predatory loan with far better terms than those provided even in the prime market.

Highlands Ranch Homes under $300k - Sweet Spot for Sales

Great article that shows what type of inventory is moving these days! Again sellers, if you can price things aggressively, you'll get the results of what you want.

Sub-$300,000 sweet spot for home sales - The “sweet spot” for Denver-area home sales continues to be for houses priced below $300,000. An analysis of home sales data by independent broker Gary Bauer found that more than 70% of the home sales were priced at $300,000 or below in the first 9 months of the year. Still, home sales in the price range account for a slightly smaller percentage of the total sales than they did during the first 9 months of 2009, as more expensive home sales have picked up this year. See the bottom of this article for a chart of home sales by county and price bracket:
