Orange County Home Sales 2010 - 01/26/11 03:18 PM
Orange County Home Sales 2010 There is no doubt that the Orange County real estate market still faces challenges in light of ongoing struggles in the labor market nationwide.  Without an improvement in employment we may well see some deterioration in OC housing again.  There is no arguing, though, that strides were made from 2009 to 2010 and the numbers paint a more encouraging picture than analysts and the media have generally projected.
Average Price Increased 7.7% Although MLS data reveals a slight erosion in sales volume from 2009 to 2010 the average sales price rose from $508,979 to $548,320 - an increase of nearly … (1 comments)

How Do Delinquent HOA Dues Affect A Short Sale? - 01/19/11 04:02 PM
Delinquent HOA fees are often overlooked within the context of a short sale and Pamela's suggestions in this blog post warrant some attention.  Buyers should be aware of the potential requirement of paying the delinquent HOA fees (though I have seen the lender pay them) and request that the seller provide them with the delinquent amount by inquiring directly with the Homeowner's Association.

Via Pamela Seley, REALTOR® Temecula Valley, California (REALTY EXECUTIVES):
Not all sellers will be able to keep their HOA dues current by the time they market their home for short sale.  If HOA dues fall behind, the Homeowner's Association may … (1 comments)

Why Does Your Short Sale Seller Care If We Give Him A Low Ball Offer? - 01/19/11 01:40 PM
In this post Katerina Gasset succinctly explains why a short sale seller should care about the offer price and how it impacts their ability to obtain a successful short sale from the lender.  I often encounter baffled buyer's agents that don't seem to understand why we are concerned with the price their client's are offering and how it relates to protecting my clients... the seller.

The Truth About Loan Modification - 01/12/11 01:38 PM

The Truth About Loan Modification. Where Do We Begin? Every homeowner in distress wants one and believes they will get one.  Who can blame them. The truth is that effective loan modification has nearly vanished.  So few homeowners now obtain effective relief that for all practical purposes loan modification should be considered a myth.  Yes, some homeowners do obtain a beneficial result but the statistics paint a bleak picture for anyone relying upon that result. According to the U.S. Treasury Department only about 9% of the homeowners that need mortgage relief are getting it through loan modification (with Making Home Affordable or … (9 comments)

HAMP Loan Modification Program Receives Poor Review From Oversight Panel - 01/10/11 06:41 PM
As I was preparing a blog that addressed The Congressional Oversight Panel's report on the HAMP program I found that Melissa had already prepared a concise and informative post. The panel concludes that the loan modification program is "ineffective" and the failure to address the problems with the program will have "real consequences".  This is a subject I am passionate about as I have encountered too many distressed homeowners that are relying on HAMP to solve their mortgage difficulties.  A mountain of evidence and statistics now demonstrates that their hope and faith in this program (Home Affordable Loan Modification Program) is … (3 comments)

What Should I Do If My Loan Modification Is Denied? - 01/10/11 11:39 AM

What Should I Do If My Loan Modification Is Denied? First let's understand why loan mods are failing:

Loan Mod Turned Down or Dragging On & On? If you own a home and your loan modification has been denied or your HAMP trial modification has persisted for more than 6 months it is definately time to examine other foreclosure alternatives (short sale, HAFA short sale, reinstatement, forbearance plan, renting out the home, etc.).  As banks recovered from the housing crisis with massive government assistance more and more distressed homeowner's have been denied conventional and government backed loan modifications.  Why?  Because the Making Home Affordable program … (8 comments)
