Having a bankruptcy doesn't have to make you feel hopeless. Don’t feel this way! Just because you have a bankruptcy in your report does not mean that you can’t buy a home or property. Lenders and lending institutions encourage people to find ways to build credit by taking on a debt and that debt could be buying a new home. Of course the lending companies will look at your credit very closely and you would probably get a smaller loan than you would if you did not have bankruptcy on your credit report. You are considered a high risk borrower because of the bankruptcy. After a backruptcy, any attempt to raise your credit score is a step in the right direction so don't get discouraged.

Most people do not know how a bankruptcy can affect their credit rating. Bankruptcy can provide a way out for people who have serious financial troubles by setting them free from paying back some of their debts. It is not a wise thing to do unless you're back is against the wall. A bankruptcy can affect your credit from 7 to 10 years. Any time somebody reads the bankruptcy on your credit report it will be like a red flag and you will be closely scrutinized. Be prepared for the highest interest rates for even a small purchase such as a car. Where a normal person would get a 5 or 6% interest-rate, a person with a bankruptcy could get an interest-rate as high as 10 to 15%.

How do you build your credit up and find a home loan after bankruptcy? First, you need to pay your bills on time. Paying bills on time will build your credit rating faster than any other method. You may want to acquire a secured credit card. Even though the money that you would be spending on the credit card is your own, you are still building credit. another method is getting a copy of your credit report. Many times there are errors on the credit report; it is reported that you owe money when you do not.

The repayment period of a mortgage loan varies depending on the interest rates. A loan for your house that has a pretty high interest rate quite often has a much shorter time limit to be paid back. A mortgage loan that has a low interest rate has a longer time limit within which the loan is to be paid back.

For some home owners applicants that are not able to put together 20% down payment a 100% mortgage loan is perfect. Something to consider is you are getting 100% mortgage is the price you will pay for private mortgage insurance. If you are looking for a good 100% mortgage loan, look for the one that does not demand that you buy private mortgage insurance so that you can save extra cash.

The Seattle area’s real estate market showed signs of stabilization in September, according to new statistics released Monday.  Especially in the critical market for single-family houses in the four-county central Puget Sound area, said Glenn E. Crellin, director of the Washington Center for Real Estate Policy Research at Washington State University.

Sales of houses and condominiums in those counties rose nearly 4.1 percent in September compared with the same month in 2007, and nearly 4.2 percent in King County alone. The last monthly increase for the region was 4.8 percent in February 2007.

The main reason for the stabilization in year-to-year numbers is the mortgage crunch hit the Seattle & Redmond real estate area hard in August 2007, when the region already had an increasing number of homes chasing a shrinking pool of buyers. That crunch showed first in the data from September 2007.

The median sale price fell last month by 8.3 percent to $295,000 overall compared with September 2007 and by 3.7 percent to $380,315 in King County.
Total active listings at the end of September were 10,889, down by about 1,500 or about 12 percent from a year earlier.
