We got the exciting news today that 2 more contracts were signed, so the building can now be Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac approved. The 26th buyer signed their contract this past Friday.
I guess it's time to start packing!

Poll: Homeowners insurance, mortgage rates - what are your experiences?
As we march slowly towards closing on our place, we are getting all of our paperwork in order to prepare for the next steps. What are the issues you're facing now that you could use some help with? Maybe our shared experiences can shed light and make the process easier.
We have been calling around this week for homeowners insurance - it's a lot of work! Lots of emails and forms to fill out. What are you working on this week?

Closing notices received for #317 Greene
I came home yesterday to find a letter from the sponsors saying that the offering plan for #317 Greene has been declared effective - and that they expect closings will take place for the building within the next 30 days.
This is great news for those of you who have been in contract since last summer! As far as I can tell, we're still just under the 51% mark for Frannie Mae/Freddie Mac loan eligibility which would offer lower mortgage rates.

20 in contract, 2 closed at The Lineage
Exciting news this weekend. Walking past the building, we noticed that our first neighbors at 315 Greene apt 2b have moved in!
According to StreetEasy 2 units in 315 Greene Ave have now closed.
The word on the street is that there are now 20 units in contract, with a couple more in the works. Apparently, we need 25 units in contract for Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac approval of the Lineage which is great news for those looking for a lower mortgage.
Buildings #317 and #319 Greene passed city inspection last week, which means the C of O for these buildings can be expected soon. All good news for us, as we can't wait to plant our garden in time for summer!
