[Docket No. FR–5410–N–03] 

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 

First Look Sales Method Under the 

Neighborhood Stabilization Program 

(NSP): Increased Discount on Sales 

Price for Certain Properties and 

Clarification of Effective Dates 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On July 15, 2010, HUD 

published a Federal Register notice 

establishing the process by which 

eligible purchasers under the 

Neighborhood Stabilization Program 

(NSP) are provided a preference to 

acquire real-estate owned (REO) 

properties of FHA under the temporary 

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 

First Look Sales Method. Under the 

First Look Sales Method, eligible NSP 

purchasers have the opportunity to 

purchase REO properties at a discount 

of 10 percent below their appraised 

value, less the cost of any applicable 

listing and sales commission. This 

notice announces an increase in the 

discount to 15 percent for properties 

that do not meet the applicable 

minimum property standards to be 

eligible for FHA mortgage insurance. 

Additionally, HUD has taken the 

opportunity afforded by this notice to 

clarify that the First Look Sales Method 

will be in effect until the conclusion of 

the NSP. 

DATES: The FHA First Look Sales 

Method shall be in effect until the 

conclusion of the NSP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On July 15, 2010, at 75 FR 41225, 

HUD published a Federal Register 

notice establishing the process by which 

certain governmental entities, nonprofit 

organizations, and subrecipients 

participating in the NSP (eligible NSP 

purchasers) are provided a preference to 

acquire REO properties under the 

temporary FHA First Look Sales 

Method. This temporary REO sales 

method furthers the goals of both NSP, 

to aid in the redevelopment of 

abandoned and foreclosed homes, and 

of HUD’s REO sales program, to expand 

homeownership opportunities and 

strengthen communities. Through the 

FHA First Look Sales Method, HUD 

provides eligible NSP purchasers with a 

preference (a ‘‘first look’’) to acquire 

FHA REO properties that are available 

for purchase within NSP areas. Eligible 

NSP purchasers may acquire such REO 

properties with the assistance of NSP 

funds for any eligible uses under the 

NSP, including rental or 

homeownership. Interested persons 

should refer to the July 15, 2010, notice 

for additional details regarding the FHA 

First Look Sales Method. 

II. This Notice—Increased Discount on 

Sales Price for Certain REO Properties 

Purchased Under the FHA First Look 

Sales Method 

REO properties purchased through the 

FHA First Look Sales Method are sold 

at a discount of 10 percent below the 

appraised value, less any applicable 

costs, including commissions. The 

minimum discounted purchase price of 

a property is one percent off of the 

appraised property value; in no case 

may the discounted purchase price 

exceed 99 percent of the appraised 

property value. (See, Section II.F. of the 

July 15, 2010, notice, at 75 FR 41227). 

The ten percent discount has proved 

insufficient for REO properties that do 

not meet the minimum property 

standards to be eligible for FHA 

mortgage insurance because the 

property is in need of extensive repairs.1

The necessary rehabilitation or flood 

insurance expenses, coupled with the 

lack of FHA financing, have the 

potential to make the costs of acquiring 

these properties prohibitive to otherwise 

eligible home purchasers. This lack of 

affordability impedes the goal of the 

FHA First Look Sales Method to aid in 

the revitalization of communities 

through expanded homeownership. To 

address this concern, HUD announces 

an increase in the discount to 15 percent 

for properties that do not meet the 

applicable FHA minimum property 

standards. As is currently true, the 15 

percent discount shall be subject to any 

applicable costs, including 

commissions, but in no case will the 

total discounted amount be less than 

one percent off of the appraised 

property value. The discount for REO 

properties eligible for FHA mortgage 

insurance remains at 10 percent of the 

appraised value of the home. 

In addition to the increase in the sales 

price discount, this notice clarifies that 

the First Look Sales Method will be in 

effect until the conclusion of the NSP. 

HUD’s July 15, 2010, notice announced 

that the First Look Sales Method would 

be in effect until May 31, 2013. This 

date was based on the expected 

conclusion of the NSP, and was not 

intended to provide for conclusion of 

the First Look Sales Method prior to the 

close of the NSP. 

III. Findings and Certifications 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The information collection 

requirements for the FHA First Look 

Sales Method have been approved by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520) and 

assigned OMB Control Number 2502– 

0589. In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, HUD may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection displays a 

currently valid OMB Control Number.
