Now's the Time to buy that new clothes washer or watersense toilet

Denver Water to Reduce rebates on March 16 Beginning March 16, 2011, Denver Water will change its residential rebates for high-efficiency toilets and clothes washers. The utility will reduce the amount offered for toilet and clothes washer rebates by $50 each. The new rebate amounts will be $75 for qualifying toilets and $100 for qualifying clothes washers. "It was time for a change because the cost of these high-efficiency products has come down in recent years," said Melissa Elliott, manager of conservation. "As a result, Denver Water's rebates will cover a similar percentage of new product purchases. We want to give our customers a heads-up so they can make those purchases before March 16, 2011, if they want the current rebate amount." Customers should check details before making purchases. Not all toilets or clothes washers qualify for a rebate, but all "WaterSense" labeled toilets are covered. Visit www.denverwater.org or call Denver Water's Rebate Hotline at 303-607-3110 to request application materials, lists of eligible products or more information. Denver Water's rebate program is designed to encourage customers to save water by changing out their fixtures and appliances. Toilets and clothes washers are the two largest uses of water inside a home. A high-efficiency toilet uses 1.28 gallons per flush or less. High-efficiency clothes washers eligible for rebates can use as little as 12 gallons of water per load. A study done in metro Denver showed that the average residential toilet used 3.1 gallons per flush and the average clothes washer used 38 gallons of water per load.

Hud closing update

Many of you heard that there was a window of opportunity for us yesterday for us to be able to ship for closings for HUD transactions.  As of  5pm yesterday HUD will  no longer accept any more sets of figures for this week and due to the VA holiday.
 
This mandate will stay in place because these closings are still with MCB and the switch to the three new asset managers still has not taken place and this is for a temporary time only.

Hud closings on hold update.

The latest updated on the temporary hold for HUD transactions is that all files that were currently with MCB are currently in transit to the three new asset managers (HomeTelos, Matt Martin Realty and Pemco).  We are told they should all have their inventory by this coming Monday, November 8, 2010.  Whether or not they will be ready to open their doors for “business” we have not yet been advised however we would imagine that they are as anxious as everyone else to get going as they have been staffed for quite some time and as we all know that requires money.
 
For those of you who have files to that need to get to the closing table the question will be which asset manager has your file and how ready will they be to get it to the closing table? 
  

HUD closings in Metro Denver Colorado on HOLD!

The Department of HUD has just advised us that as of 5:00pm today if you have not already had your closing figures submitted and already scheduled and in place then any future properties currently under contract are being placed on hold until further notice and MCB will no longer be handling those files as the Asset Manager.
 
All files that have been currently handled by MCB will now be transferred to three new asset managers (HomeTelos, Matt Martin Realty and Pemco Asset Management).  All properties will be listed through the new website of www.hudhomestore.com
 
Hopefully the hold will not be in place for too long but as always Homes And People is here to help everyone work through this transition and help make your transactions go as smoothly as possibly.
