Fannie Mae is offering 3.5 percent in closing cost assistance and a $1,500 bonus to buyers’ real estate agent or broker for people purchasing a Fannie Mae-owned HomePath® property.
Fannie Mae is trying to entice buyers to buy one of their HomePath® homes by offering to pay up to 3.5 percent in closing cost assistance as well as a $1,500 bonus to the buyers agent for owner-occupants who close on the purchase of a property listed on HomePath.com before December 31, 2010. The incentive is for new purchases only, for contracts entered into after September 23, 2010 and closed within 60 days, but in no event later than December 31, 2010.
According to Fannie Mae, more than eighty-seven thousand families have purchased a HomePath property in the first of of 2010 – nearly double from the same period in 2009.
