Whether you’re swamped with new listings and active buyers looking for their next home, or just trying to scrounge up your next sale, it’s too easy to feel like your day disappears without getting much done.

Mortgage Loan Delinquencies Prepare To Set New Records In 2009 - 11/24/09 06:56 AM
Not the news we want to hear but what  we NEED to hear!
Via John Mulkey, Housing Guru (TheHousingGuru.com):
The foreclosure mill continues to churn as mortgage loan delinquencies prepare to set new records in 2009. According to a report released by TransUnion, mortgage defaults increased for the 11th straight quarter, with delinquencies for the third quarter averaging 6.25 percent, up 58% over 2008.
 
Those states that have been particularly hard hit by the housing crisis will continue to suffer high rates of foreclosure; however, the overall rate is unlikely to experience a dramatic increase due to the various efforts at mitigation. … (2 comments)

In a ruling announced today from the Federal Reserve and set to take effect on July 1, 2010, Banks will no longer be able to charge the exorbitant overdraft fees that have become so common in recent years. A source of billions in revenue, these fees have become so common that many banks rely on them as a major source of profit.

Walkable Neighborhood On The Rise - 11/20/09 12:40 PM
Homes located in walkable neighborhoods may be more valuable that homes located in car-dependent areas.  Higher levels of walkability, determined by its walk score, may be increasing the value of the home.  The higher the walk score, the higher the home value.  The location of restaurants, schools, libraries, banks and retail shops are some of the amenities which help determine the homes walk score.  It is possible that a one-point increase in a walk score could increase the sale value of a home from $700 up to $3000, depending on the market.

Home Value Report Seems Premature - 11/17/09 01:28 PM
Columbus was 1 of the 24 metropolitan areas studied.  Columbus showed a rise in home values in the 3rd quarter this year compared to the 3rd quarter of last year.  Home values rose in some out of the way places you might not expect such as Groveport, Hebron and Johnstown.  But, there was a drop in value in areas such as Upper Arlington Worthington and Dublin.  A few central Ohio real estate agents agree that the housing prices are starting to stabilize throughout the Columbus area.
