There are still home ownership programs that allow qualified buyers to buy a home with a very low down payment (in some cases as low as zero).

You may have owned a home before and are presently renting, or maybe you are a first time homebuyer and need a way to break into the housing market, but held back because you thought you required $10,000, $20,000 or even more for a down payment. Well, regardless of your present situation, if you want to get into or re-enter the housing market with a lower amount, or even without a cash down payment at all, then this new program may be just what you're looking for.

Why pay your landlord's mortgage when you can be building your own equity?

Industry insiders have prepared a new special report entitled "How to Buy a Home With Little Or No Money Down" which reveals how this new and innovative program can get you into the housing market immediately. End the waiting - order this report NOW.

The median home price increased slightly in 2010: the first annual price gain since 2006, as buyer incentives and record affordability helped boost sales and stabilize home prices. The foreclosure freeze resulting from the robo-signing scandal in October has also contributed to firming home prices. There were fewer foreclosure sales, which sold for an average 28% discount compared to nonforeclosure sales during 2010.

Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist of Freddie Mac, reports, "With the crisis in Japan, investors rushed to buy the security of U.S. Treasury bonds , which lowered its yields and other interest rates as well. This allowed fixed mortgage rates to drift lower this week."

"In aggregate, families have been strengthening their balance sheets. In the fourth quarter of 2010, household net worth rose by $2.1 trillion, boosted by gains in the stock market. This helped lower their financial obligation ratio (debt payments relative to disposable income) to the lowest level since the first quarter of 1995."

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will continue to refinance qualifying borrowers who have lost equity in their home without requiring additional mortgage insurance for another year under the Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP.

HARP, which was scheduled to expire June 30, will stay open for business for another year, and Freddie Mac will exempt the refinancings from recently announced price increases, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said in announcing the one-year extension

Tired of looking at a scuffed-up floor? Cover that dull vinyl surface with glueless laminate planks. They're durable, budget-friendly, and easy to install by clicking them together. Plus, a new floor can be walked on the same day it's installed. Things to think about:

• Laminate planks look like hardwood but are actually medium-density fiberboard (MDF) sandwiched between plastic laminate.
• Glueless laminate planks are held together by tongue-and-groove construction. It's so easy to install that you and a helper can do a whole room in less than a day.
• The assembled floor is glued together at the edges and floats on a thin foam pad—on top of the original floor.
• Laminate is scratch- and stain-resistant but could be damaged if water seeps below the surface. You should check specific product information before choosing laminate for a bath.
