A little surprising to read an article in The Denver Post this weekend about new home builders creating more suburban communities with alleys. Sure - they serve a purpose and bring some of the downtown feel to the 'burbs, but is this really something homebuyers are asking for or just something builders think will take off? Seems that many buyers would prefer a bigger backyard to a dark alley behind their homes...Your thoughts?

Beginning Dec. 13, Fannie Mae will allow home buyers to use gifts and grants as their down payment on a single-family home. Up to 5% of the purchase price, given by family or other sources, can be used for the required down payment. Traditionally, buyers were required to produce down payments from their own funds. Now buyers can turn to their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends…the list goes on! To read more on Fannie Mae’s new lending guidelines, visit the link below. Have a great day!
