Is a 2009 Regional Sales Contract in the works?

I am off to the NVAR Standard Forms committee to discuss GCAARs proposed changes to the 2006 Regional Sales Contract which they would like us to adopt in 2009. The idea is to correct a major oversight made by the 2005-6 Regional Sales Contract Task force which forgot to include an FHA/VA financing contingency. In addition to correcting that oversight, the proposed FHA and VA financing contingencies would address some recent issues having to do with FHA appraisals and other unique underwriting conditions that come into play when FHA or VA financing is used.

Stay tuned. I'll post samples of the language later today.
