The Short Sales Specialists in Connecticut are Peter & Laura Testa

Peter Testa (Nationwide Homes) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:02:43 -0500

Are you experiencing increasing difficulty making your monthly mortgage payment?

Are you currently in default on your mortgage?

If you answered YES to either of these questions then we can help you. Peter & Laura Testa are Connecticut Licensed Realtors specializing in Short Sales. They have successfully completed dozens of short sales resulting in a 100% successful completion of every deal they have taken on.

What if my home is worth less than when I bought it?

What if I don't have the money to pay for a Realtor?

A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the sale proceeds fall short of the balance owed on the property's loan. It often occurs when a borrower cannot pay the mortgage loan on their property, but the lender decides that selling the property at a moderate loss is better than pressing the current debtor. Both parties consent to the short sale process, because it allows them to avoid foreclosure, which involves hefty fees for the bank and poorer credit report outcomes for the borrower.

Realtor fees, Attorney fees, Home Owner Association fees (& many other costs) are covered by the Lending Institution. There is never a fee to take your short sale.

Home Prices Rise in Most Major Cities in August

Peter Testa (Nationwide Homes) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:37:27 -0500

The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index of 20 major cities climbed 1 percent from July and home prices rose for the third straight month in August. A key sign for a broad and sustained housing recovery, the latest index numbers show a widespread turnaround with prices rising month-over-month in 15 metro areas since June. If increases remain consistent we can safely assume that we have seen the bottom of a declining market in a majority of the major cities referenced in the index.

Although the majority of markets have seen a turnaround Prices in Las Vegas prices have plunged by 56 percent since peaking in April 2006. Vegas has the largest peak-to-trough decline of all 20 cities in the index.

The Perfect Offer...Or Cash is Still King

Peter Testa (Nationwide Homes) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 19:37:15 -0500

Via John Occhi Hemet CA Real Estate (Allison James Estate and Homes):

From where I sit as a REO Listing agent in the Hemet - San Jacinto Valley the California REO Market is finally starting to heat up. OK, it may not be sizzling, but I have seen more action in the last week than in a long time - both with buyers and my sellers.

Desperate buyers are still struggling to get into escrow to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit that is scheduled to be pulled off the table for any escrows that don't close on or before November 30^th, 2009. That's only 61 days from now and our average time in escrow here in Hemet - San Jacinto, CA is currently 52 days for FHA loans, which are most of the first time homebuyers. My thought with the decline of the program escrow may get a bit busy toward the end of next month,

Not long ago the banks would come back with "highest and best" giving prospective homebuyers the opportunity to come back and up their offers in the hope of beating out the competition. It was not uncommon for five or more buyer to bid up to an additional 5% - 8% and even 10% over their earlier bids that were already over list price.

Well, laws changed. Policies changed and most importantly the appraisal process changed dramatically this summer. As a result of these changes, the banks found themselves going through the expense and trouble of renegotiating contract after contract.

So, now the banks are getting smarter.

No longer am I, as an REO Listing Agent, asked to solicit ‘highest and best'...the banks just want best! What this boils down to is the banks are satisfied with the list price as an appraised value - that is why they spend all the money on BPO's and appraisals before the property is ever listed in the MLS. So the value is a non-issue. Write your offer for list price.

What Else Can a Buyers Agent Do?

When educating your buyer clients, you as their agent, have a responsibility to educate them on the market condition and changes as they occur - not 3 months later.

The best offer is for all cash. No surprise, but more often than not most first time homebuyers don't have that much cash available.

A year ago we had a ‘Down Payment Assistance" program where it was almost expected for the bank to contribute 3% towards the buyers closing costs. Often times these costs were stacked onto the offer price, so in theory it was just a paper drill. Well those days are gone and to be honest, buyer should not be asking for any cash back from the seller towards closing costs or other concessions.

Listen, I understand that not everyone has a pile of cash to pay for all of this stuff - but at the risk of sounding politically incorrect let me just say that maybe it isn't time for your buyers to buy a home then. Home ownership is not for everyone and it is not a right. Whatever you do, don't call me and plead your clients case as if they are entitled...not if you want my help.

The next step to strengthening your offer and looking better than all the others hovering in the pack is to not ask for any money for repairs and waive your inspection contingency. Check the house out when you write your offer. Then while you are waiting to process the paperwork, bring in your father-in-law, your brother or hire a professional inspector - but due you diligence early on. Remember, you want your offer accepted...not negotiated.

Banks are starting to get away from home warranties. Not sure what happened, but I'm guessing that one of the banks got sued by someone who bought a REO home with a warranty and then there was a condition that was not covered...so I'm betting that the homebuyer might have been an attorney and turned around and sued the bank on some sort of ‘implied warranty' causing the bank to undertake some expensive repairs.

So do everyone a favor, just factor the three hundred bucks or so into your offer and pay for that yourself. It's $300 - don't turn that into an issue - be better than everyone else and get your offer accepted.

Same theory goes with the termite inspection. These are NOT required by many lenders...unless they are in the contract, than the underwriter wants to see the report and clearance. Especially if you are buying a home that is only a few years old. I have yet to see any termite damage in a home less than 5 years old. If you are wanting to buy an older home for sale by the bank - then get your diligence done before you ever go into contract...make it clean.

Now you Know What NOT to Do...What Can You Do?

If your buyer can't come in with all cash - up the ante. Increase the Ernest Money Deposit to the full 3.5% that they will need for an FHA Loan. This shows the bank you are serious.

Nearly every offer I see has a personal check. So, what is better? How can you separate yourself? How about a Cashiers Check? Absolutely and deliver it to the Listing Office. Let them know you are serious and not shopping for any house that will take them. Put your money where your offer is...in the hands of the listing agent.

Increase the total cash down, as well. Just because the minimum buyer contribution for an FHA Loan is 3.5% there is nothing that says you can't put down 4%...5%...or, (oh my gosh, do I dare say it) 10% or MORE! Stretch - no one ever said buying real estate should be easy...and if they did say it, they are not in business today!

The next thing you can do is get a GOOD LOAN. Lets be brutal here folks, FHA Loans and FHA Buyers are at the very bottom of the food chain. After Cash comes a good Conventional Loan with a hefty 50% down payment...even a 30% or 20% gets lots more respect than a government subsidized loan that rarely requires a single months income out of the buyers pocket. So I'll say it again...STEP UP and SHOW ME THE MONEY.

After the Conventional(even a 10% down Conventional loan ranks much higher than an FHA, VA or other exotic loan).are all of those exotic programs that give the seller the impression that they will take longer to close and that the buyer has the benefit of free taxpayer subsidized money and therefore they can or should be putting more skin in the game because it is just too easy for these buyers to get up and walk away (and it happens all the time).

The other big issue with FHA, VA and other exotic loan programs is they often require the seller to do some pretty expensive repair work, which is not adjusted for in the purchase price. The banks really would prefer to sell their inventory "AS-IS"

Other than cash buyers; it is understandably hard for a first time homebuyer in the Hemet - San Jacinto, CA Valley to meet all of these requirements. Please use this as a guide to best position your or your clients offer if you are serious about wanting to buy a new home in this or any other competitive real estate market.

Peter Testa (Nationwide Homes) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:48:21 -0500
