Here’s a great tip for all you, and especially you Realtors out there to pass along to your potential homebuyers. Freddie Mac is offering $1500 to pay home owners association dues on eligible condos being purchased through their Homesteps program as a primary residence. The program is called Condo Cash, and the requirements are that offers must be submitted to Freddie Mac before Nov 15th, and close by the end of this year and the property needs to be on the market for at least 4 months. What a great incentive to buy your first home and know that your HOA dues are going to be paid for the first 6 months or so? If you want to see what homes are available for this program, click the link or visit the website below.

When actress Rose McGowan listed her home she was hoping for offers to come in high, but she insists she didn’t expect the same from the realtors and inspectors who came through the house. Allegedly Rose’s assistant made some “pot brownies” for Rose’s personal consumption that were ‘accidentally left on the counter with a note saying “enjoy”. Well the realtors and inspectors got ahold of them, and after Rose got a strange spaced out call from her Realtor, she figured out what the secret ingredient was. I guess that’s one way to weed out the frivolous buyers. In a related story,The home inspection didn’t find any problems with the house, but the inspector did say that the rafters were really “cool man.”

The website Trulia recently declared that it if officially now cheaper to buy a 2 bedroom condo than rent one in 74% of metro areas, and with the $1500 incentive I just talked about, it doesn’t get any better than this.
