short sale: A CHORE NEXT DOOR! - 12/27/09 12:42 PM

While not a very common problem, if you've got it, it can have a terrible impact on your listing: The Messy Neighbor.  If you live next door to a "neglected" property, you might lose up to 20% of your home's market value, particularly with buyers looking for any excuse to reduce their offer.
It's technically not your problem, but ask not for whom the bell tolls.  It's well worth your time and effort to resolve this situation amicably.  Always be respectful, and don't let your emotions get the best of you.
Unless you believe your neighbor is "unhinged," you should … (2 comments)

short sale: New Foreclosure Alternative Program Just Annouced! - 05/15/09 10:05 AM
Good news from Washington, D.C., today. The Obama administration announced new details under its Foreclosure Alternatives Program (FAP) enabling servicers and borrowers to pursue short sales and deeds-in-lieu (DIL) of foreclosure in cases where the borrower is generally eligible for a Making Home Affordable modification but does not qualify or is unable to successfully complete the three month trial period. The program, effective through 2012, requires that prior to proceeding with a foreclosure, servicers must determine if a short sale is appropriate.
We're gratified that the administration has recognized the need to streamline the short sale and deeds-in-lieu processes, and has … (0 comments)

short sale: Get Serious! - 06/20/08 02:57 PM

GET SERIOUS!
Familiar with the law of supply and demand?  In real estate right now, it may seem like the supply of homes for sale is much greater than the numbers of buyers demanding those homes, forcing prices down and decreasing activity.  But what's really in shortage may be serious, legitimate sellers.
A committed seller is willing and able to accept the best offer in the current market, and be motivated to do so.  Receiving a fair offer is inextricably connected to pricing your home fairly.  The best way to arrive at an attractive price is to aggressively challenge the … (0 comments)

short sale: READY FOR SOME GOOD NEWS IN THE COSTA MESA REAL ESTATE MARKET? - 05/29/08 12:29 AM
READY FOR SOME GOOD NEWS?
 Some financial experts have labeled 2007's market as the "roulette economy."  As we all know, whatever goes up must come down, but the nice thing about real estate is that whatever goes down always comes back upward again (much like stocks work).
 A healthier market is anticipated in 2008, as Wall Street cleans up the lending mess and the pressure cooker of home demand releases its top.  While the national average of home prices declined between one and two percent in 2007, that's peanuts compared to how much homes appreciated in the previous years.  And many … (0 comments)
