Massachusetts homebuyers need to thoroughly understand the importance of the loan commitment date when purchasing a home and how failing to do so may result in the loss of their deposits.
The failure of a home buyer to receive a clean loan commitment letter, extend the loan commitment deadline or to terminate the contract with the seller before the loan commitment deadline passes puts him or her in jeopardy of losing deposits made at the time the offer to purchase and purchase and sale agreement were signed. For many home buyers, these deposits total 5 percent of the purchase price of the home they intend to purchase.

Massachusetts single-family home sales declined 5.9 percent in February compared to February 2013, the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) reported March 25, 2014, citing a lack of inventory as the cause of the slowdown in home sales.
On the other hand, the lack of inventory has put pressure on home prices. The median price for single-family homes sold in February was $294,950, an increase of 7.3 percent from $275,000 in February 2013. February marked the 17th straight monthly year-over-year increase in median price in the Bay State. On a month-to-month basis, February's median price declined 7.8 percent from $320,000 in January 2014.
Massachusetts median home prices increased 9.2 percent in 2013, much more in some sought-after city and towns, but it appears price growth may be slowing in 2014, as higher interest rates and home prices have lessened affordability.
