fort collins: Short Sales (Short Pay): A "Win-Win" Alternative to Foreclosure? - 04/01/09 09:49 AM
When foreclosure is looming for a homeowner, the short sale can be a creative solution.  Simply put, a short sale occurs when a lienholder or lienholders agree to take a lower payoff than the principal owed to them.  The short-sale scenario may be caused by excess fees and late charges that have been levied, closing costs and commissions due, back taxes, 2nd and 3rd mortgages, or even 100% interest only mortgages granted just before declining market values hit the U.S. home market.  The bottom line is there is no longer enough equity in the home for a traditional sale where seller … (1 comments)

Even REO properties can take time for approval, as the offer sometimes must go thru the higher channels of the bank. … (0 comments)

fort collins: Location, Location, Location: It Matters More than Ever in Northern Colorado! - 02/07/09 12:32 PM
With today's economic turbulence, qualified Buyers are certainly at a premium.  As such, they are able to be very selective when purchasing a property, often seeing many properties and weighing the options on the market.  And, because of deflated pricing, premium location is valued more than ever.  Here are some of the many values our buyers are placing on properties:
Waterfront Mountain views Adjacent to open space, parks, and trails Solid, established neighborhoods Choice lots in new neighborhoods Frontage on a golf course Acreage or horse properties Mountain properties. And, so it goes, year-in and year-out.  Magical locations usually bring high return to … (0 comments)
