Short Sale Myth

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:02:15 -0700

Today I will start by encouraging any potential home sellers to first seek the advice of an Attorney or CPA on their situation prior to listing their home for a short sale. Now here is the myth I want to expose:

Myth: If I short sale my home I will be leaving myself on the hook for deficiency.

Now here is what you need to know if this is your mindset. Short Sales are usually negotiated by an Attorney, Realtor or a company that specializes in negotiating short sales. It is through that negotiation that the person or company you hire should be doing what is necessary to ensure that your lender will be giving up their rights to pursue a deficiency or promissory note from you. After the negotiations are completed an Approval Letter will be issued from the lender. You need to make sure that the lender has waived their rights to pursue a deficiency in the Approval Letter. It is wise to have an Attorney review this letter for you. In Arizona the Short Sale Addendum we use states that the Seller and the Seller's Lender must come to an agreement in order for the sale to proceed and for an Agreement Notice to be issued that will allow the sale to continue.

Here are two scenerios that will most likely be the way your Short Sale will go:

The lender issues an Approval Letter for the short sale and waives the right to pursue the deficiency. This happens more often than not IF you hired someone experienced in Short Sales.
The lender issues the Approval Letter and does not waive the right to pursue a deficiency. In Arizona, if you have used the Short Sale Addendum with your contract inform the Buyer that you were unable to come to an agreement with your creditor, cancel the sale and allow the home to foreclose OR continue with the sale and keep your fingers crossed that you never hear from your lender again. In this case speak to an Attorney, because they will be the one to advise on which choice to make that will serve you best.

There are going to be some people that will be left on the hook for deficiency in a Short Sale, but I say why not try and Short Sale your home first instead of giving up and walking away? If you can't get your lender to give up the right to pursue a deficiency, then cancel the sale. There are in many great benefits for most Sellers who Short Sale their home in lieu of walking away and allowing it to foreclose. I will address those benefits in another blog.

Did We Already Hit Bottom and We Just Don't Know It Yet????

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 12:30:50 -0800

As I was driving into work this morning listening to talk radio I started thinking "Is it really as bad as the media protrays it to be?". It is true that there are tons of foreclosures and short sales available. It is true that people are losing their jobs and companies are closing their doors. It is true that financing is more difficult to obtain now than it has been over the last 5 years.

Now what will boggle your mind and IS A FACT that can't be ignored, SALES ARE UP. Yes...I said it they are up! I am a member of the MLS...ARMLS (Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service) to be exact. When I arrived at my office this morning I checked the MLS to see a side by side comparison of closed sales from last year to this year. This comparison reflects homes listed in ARMLS that sold in the months October, November and through Dec. 18th of both 2007 and 2008. Hold on to your seats, here goes!

October 2007 - Closed Listings = 3422

October 2008 - Closed Listings = 5365 (up 57% from 2007)

November 2007 - Closed Listings = 3315

November 2008 - Closed Listings = 4407 (up 33% from 2007)

Through December 18th 2007 - Closed Listings = 1678

Through December 18th 2008 - Closed Listings = 2607 (up 55% from 2007)

These numbers are amazing considering the fact that FHA put into place new guidelines in regards to down payment assistance that became effective in October of 2008.

People might say that the average sales price is down compared to last year somewhere within the 30 percentile range. This is true, however, with sales on the rise from last year and taking the law of supply and demand into consideration prices should start to even out soon.

Every Realtor has their opinions of when this "recession" will truly be over, but remember this one thing...You will only know that the bottom has been hit AFTER it has been hit and the market starts to rise again!

Short Sale Pricing Confusion

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:14:20 -0800

I have notcied some confusion on the part of some buyers and even their Realtors as to how the listed price of a "Short Sale" home comes to fruition. Some believe that the price the home is listed for is the price the Lender agreed to. This could be true, but in most cases it is not. The first Listing Agent to get the listing on a home to be "Short Sold" may very well put an aggressive price on the home without ever having dealt/spoken with the lender up to that point.

Some lenders will not give the price they are willing to accept or even approve a "Short Sale" transaction until an offer to purchase the property is brought to the table. Other lenders require quite a bit of paperwork from the Seller to get the approval to "Short Sell", so in the meantime the Listing Agent will list the property at a price he/she expects (through a thorough market examination) will be accepted by the lender. The point is to inform buyers and their representatives that the bank may not accept your offer to purchase (even if it is for the full listed price).

When you are preparing to make an offer on a property be sure to ask the Listing Agent if the price listed has already been accepted by the lender. It would also be prudent to ask if all of the neccessary paperwork that the bank required the Seller to provide has been completed. If the price has been accepted and the Seller has submitted all of the neccessary paperwork I have seen transactions similar close in 30 days. Short Sales are not always the nightmare that you hear about.

Tricky Termite Treatment Clause.

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:44:00 -0800

This is a warning to all Realtors who are dealing with Bank Owned/Foreclosed properties. I recently represented a client on a purchase of a Bank Owned home. The bank created an addendum to our origninal offer with a list of clauses on it. One of the clauses read:

7. Seller agrees to a termite report being ordered and if evidence of active termite infestation is found, Seller agrees to treat said termite infestation at a cost acceptable to Seller, however Seller shall not be responsible for any structural damage and or repairs.

The termite inspector checked Box "A" on the Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection Report stating that visible evidence of wood-destroying insects were found. The evidence observed were termite shelter tubes. My client was purchasing this property with a VA loan, so the termite report needed to be cleared for funding to happen and the only way to get it cleared was to treat the property for termites.

We noted on the BINSR that my client wanted the property treated for termites at cost paid by the seller. My client was not willing to pay for this treatment due to the Bank leading him to believe they would pay for it in the original contract clause No. 7 and the treatment was neccessary for my client's loan to fund. I didn't think this would be an issue, since the seller did add clause No. 7 above to the contract. Boy was I wrong!

The Asset Manager for the Seller/Bank said the Seller would not treat for termites because clause No. 7 specifically stated that the termites had to be "active" for the bank to treat the property and the only evidence of termites were shelter tubes, not visible live "ACTIVE" insects. The listing agent told me the Seller wanted the inspector to state that he saw live "active" insects for the Seller to agree to pay for the treatment. I have seen many homes with shelter tubes here in Arizona, but I have never seen the actual termite itself, so my next question was...Is it possible to see the live "ACTIVE" termite?. The answer is "Yes". I was told by a termite treatment company that winged termites can sometimes be seen swarming the shelter tubes and if you open up a shelter tube you can see a white creamy substance, which is also live "ACTIVE" termites.

The problem I faced was that there very well could have been live "ACTIVE" insects in the tubes that were observed by the inspector, but how would I prove it to get the Seller to pay for treatment. I made numerous phone calls to termite treatment companies, all of which said that if you break open the shelter tubes and see a white creamy substance that would be live "ACTIVE" termites. HOWEVER, none of the companies were willing to open the tubes unless we agreed to treat the property at the time the tubes were disturbed. The companies did not want to be liable for destroying the evidence of termites if treatment was not going to be done. I was stuck, I did not have permission from the Seller to treat and I did not have permission from my client to treat, yet we needed to see inside the tubes.

I sent the Listing Agent an email telling her that I was going to need permission from the Seller and a release from liability in writing to have a termite treatment company disturb the shelter tubes, so they could check and see if there were active termites inside the tubes. It was shortly after that email that the Listing Agent informed me that the Asset Manager agreed to the treat the property for termites.

It is a releif that my story ends there, however it may be different for you and your client. Be cautious of clauses that are being added to contracts by Asset Managers/Banks as they are not always what they seem to be in the eyes of yourself and your clients.
