The process is safe, easy and compliant with all legal regulations. And you don’t have to be an experienced real estate expert to purchase a property.

In fact, all you need to register are W-2 forms from the last two years, as well as a cashier’s check and/or check book for the Earnest Money Deposit(s).

Tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 6), to be precise.

The House of Representatives today overwhelmingly (403-12) passed the initiative, which also extends the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers until April 30, 2010.

President Barack Obama is expected to officially sign off on the legislation before the upcoming weekend.

So what’s it all mean?

Essentially, if you have been living in your current home for at least five consecutive years (and you own it, of course), the federal government will reward you with up to $6,500 to purchase a new home. However, you must close on the new house no later than June 30, 2010, to receive the bonus.

It’s a great incentive for empty nesters, downsizers, upgraders and basically anyone else who wants to relocate or enjoy a change of scenery … and get rewarded for it.

RealtyBid.com, which has sold more than 3,000 foreclosed properties to investors throughout the nation in recent years, experienced a 211 percent increase in real estate sales last month (Sept.) when compared to the month prior (Aug.), according to a recent article in the Birmingham Business Journal.

Company CEO, Tony Isbell, attributes the surge to government moratoriums on foreclosures being lifted.

Here’s a snip:

“We expected to see bidders take advantage of the unbelievable (bank-owned) bargains we had to offer in September and they did. Year-to-date, September is by far our biggest sales month of the year and it’s our second biggest sales month ever.”

That’s how Kendi Kiogora, a 28-year-old first-time home buyer, described her recent experience at a Chicago-area auction, anyway.

And when you hear about the deal (or steal) she made off with it’s hard to argue otherwise.

Kendi purchased a “one-bedroom, one-bath apartment in Chicago’s trendy South Loop neighborhood, with skyline views and heated parking, for just $105,000,” according to Reuters.com feature today. The final sale price was $62,000 less than its last listing and well below true market value.

Her good fortune is just more proof that it’s a buyers market. Plain and simple. Opportunities to buy homes at deep discounts have never been better than they are right now.

And according to Dave Webb of Hudson & Marshall, one of the biggest players in the real estate auction business, more amazing deals could flood the market in the very near future.

Here’s a snip:

“The foreclosures are going to explode again.”

Why?

Mr. Webb points to moratoriums that have or are about to expire on foreclosures, which were put in place months ago by major lending institutions and banks to minimize defaults and stabilize the market.

However, this well-intentioned move may have just delayed the inevitable and, as the report suggests, an “avalanche of new repossessions” could be on the horizon.

Going once, going twice, SOLD! back to Chippewa Valley Bank of Wisconsin for $2.6 million.

That’s basically how the foreclosure auction went last week for Al Capone’s alleged 407-acre 1920s-era “hideout” in Couderay, Wisc., which was on the block after its previous owners defaulted on the mortgage.

Despite a Chicago-area advertising campaign (where Capone rose to fame and fortune more than 60 years ago as America’s most notorious gangster ever) to market the two-story stone lodge, it appears that no buyers were interested in plunking down bids.

Indeed, the bank that issued the $4.25 million mortgage back in 1959 officially repossessed and took ownership of the historic slice of backwoods real estate. There is currently no indication as to what will now happen to the property, according to a recent CNN.com report.

However, Leslie Strapon, assistant executive director of the Hayward Chamber of Commerce, holds out hope that it will remain a tourist destination.

Here’s a snip:

“Everyone is patiently waiting to see what’s going to happen with the place,” she said. “It would be nice if it fell into the hands of someone who was wiling to reopen and carry on the tradition [of hideout tours].”

We’ll keep you posted as soon as new details emerge regarding this unique listing on Foreclosure.com (click the link for pic and description).

Mortgage lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are offering special programs to spark home sales nationwide, according to the New York Times.

And according to Brad Geisen, Foreclosure.com founder, president and CEO, big banks might not be far behind:

“We’re starting to see banks loosen up on financing and consider a number of different incentive programs to move their inventory. I know a number of banks who are getting ready to release programs like this, between now and the end of the year.”

Deep discounts on prices and insurance, as well as closing cost and home repair assistance, are several of the perks that buyers can take advantage of right now.

Remember that Fannie Mae-owned properties can be found on HomePath.com and Freddie Mac lists its homes on HomeSteps.com. Both sites are free to search and offer complete property details.
