Thanks for this info this is helpful to at least see on one particular home what the percentages were that Freddie was willing to go down. The home we had offered on is currently off the market. Evidently the listing expired. The offer we made was less of a percentage off the original mortgage then yours but they wouldn't budge. I am sure it will be listed again as it didn't sell. I would think that would be a slap in the face to the assist manager to have offers 10% below asking, not accept and then the house sits for over 280 days until the listing expired. Hmmm weird market.

The banks don't base their asking list price on percentage of original mortgage. The mortgage was written off when they took it back at the trustee sale. The price is based on current market value in the area for similar homes. Sometimes they will price a little below to generate more interest.

That makes sense in a perfect world but if a house has sat much longer than then the average (270+days when average is 90) for the area then they probably priced it incorrect. Especially since zillow has the mortgage acquisition price at less then we offered. I am just estimating though. I just feel that Freddie would want to unload as much inventory as possible for a fair price.

Yes, I agree if it's been on market that long, then it's overpriced. Most banks will drop the price month to month until it sells. Again, mortgage value at time of bank take-over has no relation to listing price and is not considered in reviewing offers. All you should be concerned about is if your offer is reasonable given your review of current market value for this home.
How long does it take for Freddie to send back the signed contract?
Hi,
I'm buying Freddie owned property. They verbally accepted my offer (through email). I signed all addendum and gave them the earnest money on Sept 2. So far no signed contract from Freddie (today is Sept 11). On the contract, the closing will be on Oct 2. My lender would not start the financing process until I have a purchase contract. How long does it take them to send back the signed contract? I'm getting frustrated.
can I contact FREDDIE mac MYSELF and talk to them about my offer, if anyone does knows the number in miami please sent it to me at Cduarte911@aol.com, i want this house but I think my realtor is not looking out for me.
