real estate: NAR reports that pending home sales have INCREASED!!
- 08/07/08 09:45 AM
Apparently the the housing news isn't as bad as we all thought. Again this news comes with a disclaimer that all real estate is LOCAL!! The National Association of Realtors reports that the Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in June, rose 5.3 percent to from May, although its still lower then June of 2007.

real estate: Winning the War, but losing the battle - Buyers and Lowball offers
- 08/07/08 09:34 AM
With all the negative press, I have many buyers who feel that we have not yet "hit the bottom" of the housing market and feel homes are still overpriced. They are writing 15%+ under list price on homes that are already priced very competively for our market. Even if I show them comparables for the area, they still feel that there are some major deals to be had. Now, I'm not saying there aren't, because there still area, however, it would great if there was a way to give them a wake-up call. While there is a 1 in 100 chance that … (4 comments)
real estate: Another Approach to Value Range Pricing - Seller Rate Buydown
- 08/07/08 09:21 AM
With the current market we are in, getting creative in marketing to help our seller's get their homes sold is a must. I was given this idea by a local lender on how to help your seller net more, and get the buyer into a home. In addition, I feel it would work great for a home that is to be value range priced. The idea is Seller buydown where the seller can "buydown" the interest rate for the buyers. This tool is designed for a competitively priced home that is not receiving a proper amount of inquiries. The seller agrees … (1 comments)

With the government stepping up to the financing crisis, the next step is to get the public educated on what types of loans are available. Many veterans don't even know that they qualify for VA loans, or that they can qualify for a VA loan when they're purchasing a 2nd primary home (ie they sold their first and are buying again). IF you are a Veteran and thinking of buying, I would encourage you to attend this seminar to get all your questions answered.

The New York Times reports that however much they might oppose it on ideological grounds, the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve are inching closer toward a government rescue of distressed homeowners and mortgage lenders. The Plan: - A push for the two government-sponsored mortgage companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to raise more capital so they could buy more mortgages. - President Bush signed an economic stimulus bill that greatly increased the size of loans the F.H.A. can insure, while allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase significantly larger mortgages from lenders and guarantee them against default by homeowners. … (4 comments)

real estate: The Crusade of Procuring Cause - What do you really do?
- 02/14/08 04:47 AM
Procuring cause is always an interesting issue, especially when it comes to uneducated buyers who are unfamiliar with the process, and how going to open houses could affect which agent they may end up working with. Here is the Madison, Wisconsin area, we have a broker who is a crusade against listing agents. He states:
"Buyers, though, are screwed over by Procuring Cause, PC, all the time. Here's how it works: They go out looking at homes,willy nilly, not having any idea that they are creating bligations to any licensees. (The Secret Contract.) They find a house. Then, they begin researching their … (3 comments)

Our office was recently looking at cemeting our dress code policy. There is already a policy in place, but about half the agents don't follow it.

Some are quite...interesting...to say the least. Names and offices have been removed for privacy: Here are some of the suggestions....what do you think?
