How Might the Government Shut down affect R.E. Buyers and Sellers
Well, now that the government has shut down for who knows how long, how does that affect Real Estate Buyers and Sellers? There are 3 main ways this could create delays on the paperwork and documentation necessary for a home purchase or sale:
1) IRS - most lenders will want to verify your tax return with the IRS. If that is not considered an essential function of the IRS, there might not be anyone there to verify your tax return.
2) Social Security Office - again, most lenders will want to verify that they have the correct social security number for their buyers. If workers have been sent home, there is no one there to verify your social security number with your name.
3) FHA & VA Mortgages- If you or your buyer is applying for an FHA or VA Mortgage and if the government employees that process the FHA or VA mortgages are furloughed, that would cause a delay in a mortgage loan approval.
Some contracts might fall because of these delays, but if history is any guide, chances are good the seller and the buyer would agree to delay closing.
