Fannie Mae announced this week that it is expanding the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative so any home shopper can buy a HomeSteps® home as their primary residence during the first 15 days of the property’s listing without competition from investors. HomeSteps is the real estate sales unit of Freddie Mac and markets a nationwide selection of Freddie Mac-owned homes.
Highlights from the First Look Initiative:
- In Nevada, the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative offers buyers who plan to become owner-occupants a 30 day window to shop without investor competition.
- Investment, vacation or second home purchasers are ineligible for the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative.
- The Freddie Mac First Look Initiative will provide a 15-day window to buyers working with NSP and NCST affiliated groups.
This initiative by Fannie Mae will definitley give home buyers that are looking to buy a Fannie Mae foreclosure home a great opportunity on a home. Many investors purchase Fannie Mae homes to resell or to hold as rental property and by giving homeowners the first shot a lot of the competition is eliminated.
