Set up by the federal government — Fannie in 1938, Freddie in 1970, are now public companies, their stock traded on the open market.  They buy mortgages away from the banks that already hold them, providing cash that allows banks to make more home loans and take on more debt. Then Fannie and Freddie bundle the loans together and sell pieces of the whole to investors as what are called mortgage-backed securities. They pay a guaranteed rate of return — like Treasury bonds, but more lucrative for investors.  Each are backed with a $2.25 billion line of credit from Uncle Sam, our government. Fannie and Freddie have been essential to the functioning of the U.S. housing market and helped homeowners by pumping enough transactions through the market to lower interest rates.

The Florida Legislature is set to adjourn Friday evening.  Much has been accomplished, but there is still work to be done!  The Florida House of Representatives has passed a number of great property tax reform bills, however, the Florida Senate has so far been unwilling to take many of them up for final consideration.  It is important to note that property tax relief WILL be offered on the November ballot thanks to proposed constitutional amendments offered by the Tax and Budget Reform Commission (TBRC). The Senate still has a chance, though, to enact legislation that could result in even greater property tax reforms. 

House Bill 129 by Rep. Carlos Lopez-Cantera and House Bill 1283 by Rep. Dean Cannon have both passed the full House and currently await Senate action.  HB 129 makes critical changes to the application of the “Highest and Best Use” standard of appraising property, while HB 1283 levels the playing field for property owners who appeal their assessment to the Value Adjustment Board.  The Florida Association of Realtors strongly supports these two bills! 

In addition, the Governor, the Senate and the House all agree that providing affordable health insurance to Florida’s uninsured is a top priority this Session.  While both the Senate and the House have passed health insurance legislation, a compromise has yet to be reached.  Florida’s Realtors know that this issue is too important to be caught up in internal politics and a compromise is needed by Friday for final passage. Please let your legislators know that something must be done for the thousands of uninsured Floridians! 
 
Please click here to send your message today and feel free to customize the subject line and any part of the letter to express your personal thoughts!  With this Call to Action we have customized letters making it simple for you contact your Senator and your Representative with separate messages.  The message to the Florida Senate is to take action on pending property tax and health insurance legislation.  The message to members of the Florida House is a “thank you” for passing so many meaningful property tax reform measures and an encouragement to keep working towards a compromise on health insurance legislation. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. - As they begin to enter the housing market, many consumers in their 20s are more likely to buy a home at a younger age than their older brothers and sisters as well as their baby boomer parents, and are not necessarily waiting for marriage or even a long-term relationship before becoming homeowners.“The next generation of homeowners is beginning to exert its influence on the housing market,” said Thomas M. Stevens, National Association of Realtors president from Vienna, Va., and senior vice president of NRT Inc. “Many younger buyers have seen the wealth-building effects of homeownership in their parents and understand the value of housing as a good long-term investment.”The motivations, interests, and home buying approach of some younger buyers are chronicled in “Tomorrow’s Buyers: Who They Are and What They Want” in the September 2006 issue of REALTOR Magazine. The report integrates NAR research with the experiences and attitudes of real-life buyers who represent different demographic populations, putting a human face on statistical trends.
