Builders Snapping Up Land at Brisk Pace
Home builders are vying actively to buy land to buy in anticipation of a market turnaound.
"There's been an absolute land rush," says Gregor Watson, a partner with McKinley Partners, a California-based real-estate fund.
Builders prefer land with improvements, including sewers and streets because it allows homes to be constructed quickly. Especially attractive are suburban lots in neighborhoods that are easy commutes.
Nationally, the price of finished lots are up about 20 percent from early 2009. Prices for attractive lots in Phoenix and Southern California have risen 60 percent. Nationwide, the best-located lots are fetching twice as much as they would a year ago, said Greg Vogel, CEO of Land Advisors Organization, a land brokerage firm based in Scottsdale, Ariz.

5 Costly Mistakes First-Time Buyers Make
Buying a first home can be a daunting experience. Here are five common and costly mistakes that novice home buyers make:
1. Ignoring the costs of having a low credit score. Lower-score borrowers pay thousands of dollars in increased interest rates over the life of the loan.
2. Muddying the waters by shopping for other things before closing. Lenders continue to check credit scores right up until the time of closing. Too much shopping could cause the lender to take back the loan.
3. Scrimping on an inspection. Being surprised by the need for expensive repairs can be financially devastating.
4. Buying without contingencies. Buyers should give themselves an out if the inspection turns up problems or the bank raises the interest rates.
5. No money for insurance. Insurance can be surprisingly pricey. Buyers who don’t budget for it can face a nasty surprise.

Dow Ready to Debut Solar Roofing
Dow Chemical is rolling out a new kind of solar roof that could make adding solar power generation a simple and inexpensive process.
The company is integrating film solar cells into roofing shingles that are nailed onto the roof just like conventional asphalt shingles.
The concept still isn’t perfected, but builders Pulte Homes and Lennar Corp. have successfully tested prototypes.
Dow’s Chief Technology Officer William Banholzer estimates that 250 shingles covering 1,000 square feet of roof and generating 3.5 kilowatts on a sunny day will cost the average homeowner $10,000, half of which he would have incurred anyway to put regular asphalt shingles on his roof.

5 Signs a Home Has Potential
The best deals on homes these days are often on properties that aren’t perfect.
Home shoppers looking for a great deal should keep these factors in mind when they are looking for a place with potential:
· Location, location, location. It’s still true that you get a better deal when you buy the worst house in a great neighborhood than you do when you buy a fancy house in a not-so terrific neighborhood.
· Less than 50 years old. Properties older than a half decade are likely to have more fundamental problems — like aging wiring, inadequate plumbing and sagging foundations.
· Livable floor plan. Buyers should select a home with a basic design they can live with. Once they start moving walls, they’re into big money.
· Light. Houses with the most potential have plenty of natural light.
· Good storage. Adding storage isn’t cheap, so it’s smart to choose a property that already has it.

The New Face of House Flipping
Home flippers have their groove back, but this time around most of them are pros who are savvy enough to buy the right properties and turn them over quickly.
Nationally, the number of flipped homes rose 19 percent to 197,784 in 2009, according to RealtyTrac. Flipping has been encouraged by a Federal Housing Authority one-year rule change, which allows FHA borrowers to buy foreclosed homes from owners who have held title for less than 90 days.
Many of the today’s flippers are wealthy foreign investors from countries like Israel, Germany, and Spain. In many cases, they bid without ever seeing the properties, relying on services that checks titles and send drivers to properties to relay photos and descriptions via mobile phone to bidders.
