 HomePath First Look Program
*Owner occupants are those buyers that will occupy the property as their principal residence within 60 days of closing and will maintain their occupancy for at least 1 year. Owner-occupant purchasers are required to sign an Owner Occupant Certification as a rider to the Real Estate Purchase Addendum. A buyer purchasing in the name of a trust, purchasing as a vacation/part-time residence, or purchasing so another person or relative can live in the property will typically be considered an investor and not eligible during First Look. Investor offers submitted after the First Look period expires will be considered along with all other offers. Call Homes in Big Bear Team for more details. |
About Fannie Mae & HomePath
Who do I contact for general inquiries about Fannie Mae and its homes?
Please contact the Fannie Mae Resource Center at
1-800-7FANNIE
Why does Fannie Mae have properties for sale?
Fannie Mae works with mortgage servicers, housing counselors and other partners to help homeowners prevent and avoid foreclosure. Through KnowYourOptions.com and the Fannie Mae Mortgage Help Centers, Fannie Mae offers assistance directly to homeowners so they can understand their options to avoid foreclosure. However, sometimes it is unavoidable. When foreclosures occur on mortgages in which Fannie Mae is the owner/investor, our goal is to sell properties in a timely manner in order to minimize the impact on the community. Additionally, Fannie Mae may acquire ownership of properties through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure – a transaction in which the homeowner (mortgage borrower) voluntarily transfers the ownership of the property (the title and all property associated with it) to the owner of the mortgage in exchange for a release of their mortgage loan and payments.
What is HomePath?
HomePath is the branding used for all Fannie Mae-owned properties — anytime you see something labeled "HomePath", it has to do with the sale of our Fannie Mae-owned properties. For example, HomePath.com is our website, where homebuyers and real estate professionals can get detailed information on our listings, and HomePath Mortgage offers buyer financing products these properties.
What kinds of properties are available on HomePath.com?
HomePath.com includes only those properties owned by Fannie Mae. Foreclosed properties can represent a great opportunity for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, those looking for a second or vacation home or those looking for an investment opportunity.
There is a wide selection of homes in neighborhoods across the country — from single-family homes to condominiums and town houses. Keep in mind, the number, type and sales price of homes may vary substantially by market as well as the condition of the home. Many are move-in ready, while some may require light repairs or more extensive renovations.
