plainfield il: Plainfield Illinois, Naperville, IL Real Estate, - Short Sales - What's Needed? - 07/21/08 03:30 PM
When you go through the short sale process your lender will require certain documentation. Remember, the lender does not want to take the home back through foreclosure. That is a last resort for both the homeowner and the lender. The lender would rather accept a short sale as long as the borrower can show an inability to pay the mortgage. Each lender has their list of required documentation. Therefore, the first step is to give your Realtor signed authorization to speak with the lender about your account. Your Realtor will then request a "short sale package" from the lender. Most

plainfield il: Plainfield IL, Naperville Illinois Real Estate - Possible home ownership tax credit - 03/26/08 10:31 AM
Economist suggests $5,000 home-buyer tax credit to spur homeownership. In the March Real Estate Insights, NAR (National Association of Realtors) chief economist Lawrence Yun, analyzes several federal plans proposed to curb foreclosures and stimulate the housing market. Yun proposes a homebuyer tax-credit of $5,000 tax credit (which currently exists in Washington, D.C.), which would cost the federal government $40 billion. Yun says: "A reversal in the weakness in the housing market, which has been subtracting about one percentage point off GDP growth, can add $40 billion to the U.S. Treasury, essentially offsetting the cost of the tax credit. If the initial $40 billion

plainfield il: Plainfield IL, Naperville Illinois Real Estate - Why would a realtor want to help me with my short sale if I can't afford to pay them? - 03/19/08 06:42 AM
How does a realtor profit from a short sale?When formally requesting a short sale commitment from the bank, realtor commissions are usually included if a realtor was involved in the deal. The bank may counteroffer to lower the commission. Realtors can also "hunt" for short sales by talking to clients that have had their homes listed for a long time with no success. The realtor can explain the short sale process and help the owner negotiate with their lender to get it sold and the realtor gets their commission.Contact me today so we can evaluate your individual situation.

plainfield il: Plainfield IL, Naperville Illinois Real Estate - Fed Plan Lifts Mortgage Markets - 03/17/08 08:02 PM
Fed Plan Lifts Mortgage Markets Tuesday, the Fed's surprise announcement of a new $200 billion lending facility led to a 400 plus point rally in the Dow, the biggest one day percentage gain since March 2003. The effect on mortgage rates was also favorable. The newly available funds will make it more appealing for financial institutions to borrow money from the Fed, which is expected to increase the demand for mortgage backed securities. Mortgage markets should benefit, and the spread between mortgage rates and Treasury yields narrowed significantly, reversing the trend from the prior week. Mortgage rates fell significantly during the week, reversing

Will I still have to pay property taxes if I do a short sale? Someone will have to pay the property taxes in a short sale. It's just a question of who? Whether it is the property owner or the lender depends on the policies and specific agreements negotiated during the short sale. Do not take a short sale on by yourself, it's unnecessary.
