Tis the season to load up the car with family to search for those tacky Christmas light displays. This was a favorite tradition of my family. We always traveled the same route year after year and was never disappointed. But now that time has passed and so has some of the faithful homeowners and their displays we go in search for new traditions of lights. Here is a list of some of the best surrounding suburbia North Atlanta.

FHA MInimums to Increase
Sometimes people must be nudged into action. It appears the Federal Housing Authority is likely to do so. A recent study indicated that the FHA's insurance reserve funds are below mandated levels. Now FHA officials are exploring ways to increase these reserves. How else, but to pass it on to the consumer right? We should not be surprised to see higher minimum down payments . Talks are underway to possibly increase the minimum from the current 3.5% to 5%. Some are saying that 10% is not impossible. Also, do to change is the seller's contribution to borrowers (closing cost, discount points, pre-paid expense, and other financing concessions). Dropping from 6% of the home price to a staggering 2%. Uncertain of exactly what will happen, we know that something for sure will. So now surely may be the time for someone you know to purchase a home.
