Free Foreclosure List Myrtle Beach…and Home Sales Keep Doing Their Thing!

Eagle Realty — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:26:56 -0600

NAR Reports that for the 9th straight month pending home sales have increased...what does that mean...more buyers are realizing the deals around the country and jumping in on the action. Long-term this produces what we call demand, and when demand rises, so does price, and conversely, inventory shrinks. Now, we don't see this happening in an overnight fashion, but if you saw the market report yesterday, then you would know we are starting to see average listed inventory pricing moving up slightly. That means buyers who bought in October vs. November in our area most likely got a better deal on average. So can you wait and not worry about prices jumping too much..probably, but could you have gotten a better deal buying now, MOST likely.

So you can see what i am talking about with deals, click on the link below to check out some Foreclosure deals in the myrtle beach area and give us a call or email:

Eagle Realty Back in Office…Cyber Monday & Dawn of Christmas Season

Eagle Realty — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:26:07 -0600

Ok, i have to admit, that was a long break. Obviously in this tech advanced world, and tech advanced company at Eagle I was not disconnected per se, but by choice some relaxing time with family was taken advantage of over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Lots of Food, Movies, and Shopping...family traditions you know, and all kinds of exciting things (if you got my tweet Saturday late night about rushing my brothers dog to the animal vet for eating a wild mushroom...long story)

But here we are, on the eve of the last month of the year in front of us, December and the Christmas season is here!! Are you ready? So much going on I know...but take a moment to think...

This is cyber monday as you may know, all kinds of internet deals, but if you want deals, check out this site www.EagleRealtySC.com for some BIG savings, with an extra BIG. Real Estate in the winter can be the most lucrative time to buy...low buyer activity makes for generally higher negotiating margins. People who really need to sell before year end look at cash offers as saving grace, and the buyers who are smart enough to buy in the winter make out in the long run.

So check out www.EagleRealtySC.com for CYBER-MONDAY deals in real estate in myrtle beach..."YULE" LOVE IT!

Some Good News…A Local Picture in South Carolina

Eagle Realty — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:07:31 -0600

SCAR (SC Association of Realtors) has teamed up this year with Moore Business College and SC home Builders assoc. to give quarterly reports. I thought some of the info was interesting and gives us a more local snapshot, since our industry trends are affected on the local level. Real Estate is and always will be local, so let's take a look!

(highlights)
The recession is most likely over. Most economic indicators suggest
that we are now in a period of economic growth.
The banking industry is just beginning to absorb the losses from
defaulting commercial real estate loans, which will make future
loans of all kinds harder to acquire. Thus, despite the fact that the
residential real estate market is showing signs of recovery, the
recovery will be slow because of the increased difficulty for the
home-building industry to obtain loans.
The high U.S. and South Carolina unemployment rate is expected
to persist for the remainder of 2009 and into 2010. Nevertheless,
this is not an indication of a deteriorating overall economy. High
unemployment generally lingers through the initial stages of
economic recovery and is usually one of the last signs of recovery
from a recession.
Additional foreclosures and increased housing vacancy rates
are likely to accompany high unemployment. This will lead to
additional inventory and reduced housing prices at the national
level. South Carolina, however, has experienced house price
appreciation throughout 2009, an increase in permit activity, and
only small increases in foreclosure rates. These facts suggest not
only that South Carolina is a relatively stable housing market,
but also that much of the excess inventory has been eliminated.
In turn, South Carolina will be spared from some of the national
consequences of additional foreclosures.

To read the full report click on this link http://www.screaltors.com/SCmarketRpt_Fall.pdf

Here is the thing, we don't want to believe that things are getting better because on a personal level in your life or someone you know it doesn't seem to be. But take a moment to look at the BIG PICTURE. All indicators are pointing in the right direction, sometimes it takes an attitude shift to see the brighter perspective.

Eagle Realty SYNERGY part 2

Eagle Realty — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:35:40 -0600

Is the sequel ever as good as the first? I don't know, sometimes. I mean movies like Matrix, Back to the Future, and Madagascar 2 come to mind.

I wanted to take a brief moment to recap what we at Eagle Realty, a family of companies...truly family...meant by Synergizing all we do. You know we offer Real Estate sales and are the local experts, as well Vacation and Longterm rentals, appraisals, and now Insurance Services through SIG www.StalveyInsuranceGroup.com We are your family of experts and are here to service all these needs in the north myrtle beach area and up and down the south and north carolina coast.

But for you as the client, is this beneficial? Why would you want to take advantage...well let's throw out convenience. Convenience is good, one roof, one stop, one shop...but honestly with the advent of the internet, what is NOT convenient now adays? You could have multiple tabs from different companies all at different times in your browser for all the services above mentioned. So what else?
Here is the kicker...do you trust, or want to trust who you work with in any service? How about being comfortable not only with the person, but with the persons level of knowledge and expertise in how they are working for you? Here is the thing, as a family of companies, we have an accountability to each other internally.

SYNERGY, more than a word, a comfort level for you and your family at Eagle. www.EagleRealtySC.com

Such a Taboo, maybe even over used word…

Eagle Realty — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:40:59 -0600

SYNERGY

Or, in verb form (for our purposes) SYNERGIZATION!!

But, that's the road and "keyword"...or buzz word...for EAGLE REALTY, EAGLE RESORTS, EAGLE APPRAISAL, and Stalvey Insurance Group (SIG), in 2010. Coming out of the 2nd Annual Eagle Leadership summit it is determined that one of our main focuses as we remain Experts in the marketplace is to make sure our customers and clients know our dedicated service extends beyond just one facet of our family of companies.

Monday, Have You Got Your Tax Credit Yet?…Reverse Offers?

Eagle Realty — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:32:58 -0600

OK, 2 quick points:
1. I am going to have to remind you for the next couple months about this, not to be annoying or to pressure you, but to plead with you to take Free money from the government. I mean, they offered it first, so why not take advantage of their generosity? $8000 for 1st time buyers and $6500 for buyers looking for a new primary residence. True credit no payback...seriously? Yes, seriously. The biggest hold up to take advantage is having to sell current residence...well if you are renting, then you don't have that problem. If you currently own, yes it is time to sell and buy one of the tremendous deals on the market. Eagle experts are standing by to help you sell your home and turn around and purchase a hot deal on out of this buyers market. www.EagleRealtySC.com .

2. Reverse Offers - I was just educated by one of my agents on this "outside the box" practice hitting the scene. It really is not that weird when you think about. The initial offer just starts with the seller to a prospective buyer. Instead of waiting for the buyer to make a move, the seller preempts and takes the initiative through their Realtor to find out if the buyer is serious and looking for a good deal. Does this work all the time? NO. but could it work for you...an Eagle Expert can help you make that decision.

Have a "soaring" real estate experience, trust the Eagle Realty experts in North Myrtle Beach.

Monday at Eagle Realty…I am sure You Have Heard the NEWS!

Eagle Realty — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:39:12 -0600

Ok, first off, this is VERY important:
Monday Night Football - 8:30pm tonite - the premier of the Eagle Realty 2009 Commercial! Check it out on Time Warner cable tonight Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos...it is gonna be awesome..and the game will be cool too!

But seriously...here is the thing...the extension of the Tax credit, not only extension, but expansion, is in full swing as the president has signed. What does this mean?
"the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit and giving additional tax breaks to certain homeowners trading up. Passed overwhelmingly by Congress, the bill would provide a $6,500 tax credit to homeowners who are buying a new primary residence beginning Dec. 1. The language mandates that to get the credit the homeowner must have owned their home for five consecutive years of the previous eight. But there are caps on the tax credits. They only apply to individual buyers who make no more than $125,000 and $250,000 for couples. There is also an anti-flipping provision: Any homeowner who collects the credit and sells within three years must return the money. The FTHB was extended to cover consumers signing a contract by April 30 and closing by June 30."

This way more people will be able to take advantage of this buyers market, but in my opinion this will be the last extension to take advantage...this credit will NOT ALWAYS BE HERE...so don't wait, the new clock is ticking!

Friday Friday…Eagle Leadership Summit, Good Things, Good Things

Eagle Realty — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:38:23 -0600

The focus: People , Giving, and Growth. If i had to sum up what was discussed this morning at the 2nd annual Eagle Leadership Summit , those would be my choice words. There is a vision, a purpose, and mission here at Eagle Realty and for all our family of companies including SIG Insurance, Our Vacation and Long-term rental department Eagle Resorts, and Eagle Appraisal services...Synergized together to bring the Expert service you deserve as our customers and clients.

Our agents make us great. And our clients and customers become a part of our family, and to be honest, we couldn't do anything without you! This is a "people" industry and realize that. Our expert service is worthless if not carried out through our client relationships and relationships with each other here at Eagle. In that, we must continue to strive forward in better expertise for you and ourselves.

"We measure our success by how much we give..." - Chris Ward
This has become my new mantra for Eagle Realty. Through our organization 4031missions.org and with multiple-charity donation with each closed transaction...the more we give the more successful we will become. I believe this truly that God will reward us back for our focus on others rather than ourselves.

I am proud to say that we are the #1 Independent in the North Myrtle Beach, SC area per Volume in Sales and are striving toward the top independent company on the SC & NC coast...this is our short and long-term goal pursuit. As we strive forward we look forward to serving you and serving others...Eagle Realty is not going anywhere, and we are proud to be your "Local Experts for Local Real Estate"...

Hairbows and Dresses…seriously, What Do I Know About That??

Eagle Realty — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:51:26 -0600

So you may have noticed no BLOG yesterday from Eagle...or at least i hope you did because that would mean you are in tune with our epic blogging, ...but seriously, i was out of the office for the entire afternoon. Why you so affectionately ask? We At first, it was not for what it ended up being. We (my wife an i) had an appt. in Wilmington at the doctor for a completely different reason that ended in knowledge received we (I) was not ready for.

For those of you who didn't know my wife, Emily is pregnant with our first, though we have a 6 year old boy Julian, who is awesome, from her first marriage. But, it looks like she won out this time with balancing the playing field at home because we have a little GIRL on the way. Break out the pink! (or tiffany blue in this case as my wife said)

I would be lieing if i said i wasn't nervous...what father isn't at the news of a girl...but happy and healthy also come to mind and everything looks good in those categories.

How does this relate to real estate you may say? Well, for the most part it doesn't, but it does relate to life. When you deal with Eagle Realty, you deal with real humans...REALTOR's have lives, families, problems, joy and sadness like everyone else. In fact through our wisdom of life, we gather more expertise to help you with one of the largest decisions and purchases you make in your lifetime, a home purchase. Wouldn't you want, and don't you deserve, to work with an Expert? Eagle Realty...

So You Have Heard The News…Some “House” Work Ahead

Eagle Realty — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:22:43 -0500

Oh how i love puns...but i may take this one a little too far so just let me know, lol!

1. (we are breaking this down numbered bullet point type)...You have got to have heard (especially if you follow us on Twitter www.twitter.com/eaglerealtysc) that the senate and the "house" have approved and are int eh works of extending and expanding(very key) the home buyer tax credit. Not only to extend to into 2010 (April est.) but expand it to not just First-Time buyers but to "move-up" buyers as well($6500 proposed credit to them)! Opens a lot of doors of people to take advantage of the glutton of deals in the myrtle beach market!

2. Sellers, are you ready? I mean with a new avenue of buyers heading intot he market to take advantage of FREE money, is your property ready to sell? Need an opinion, trus tthe Experts at Eagle Realty...we can let you know what kind of "house work" might be ahead of you to make sure your property is prime for showings to potential buyers coming into the market in the months ahead.

3. Did i mention i have some "house work" (final pun i promise) this weekend, in fact today. Yes as much i love helping my clients buy and sell homes, i need not neglect my own home. Some painting, caulking, cleaning...the usual house work (oops one more).

Have a great weekend and see you in Nov! (stay tuned for the monthly marketing report "Eagle Eye on the Carolina's" coming out tomorrow via email!

Some economic news…Tax Credit Will Survive into 2010??

Eagle Realty — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:56:47 -0500

First take a nice little read from Frank McGinnis in Myrtle Beach at Bank of America:
"OVERVIEW ~ Mortgage rates rose slightly, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average for shares of stock danced back and forth across the 10,000 mark. In the midst of investors' greater inclination to leave aside the safety of Treasury securities and seek out investments with higher risks and therefore higher yields, the mortgage interest rate only rose from about 5 to 10 basis points, depending on whose data we're looking at. The spread between the 10-year Treasury note and the average 30-year mortgage rate rose very slightly from 1.96% to 2.04% (as of October 19th's close), indicative of sustainable interest rates with little immediate inclination to rise or fall by a significant amount."

For those of you financial nuts hope this blends with your synopsis of the market place this past week...

Let's take a time out to everyone on the 2009 $8000 Tax credit...we all know the count down is almost over for the Nov 30th closing deadline...but wait, is there hope?!?! Congress is reviewing bills and amendments to the plan that would keep the stimulation in effect for the housing recovery and possibly open it up even broader to ALL BUYERS! How awesome. I mean, we can see the recovery over the past year here in the myrtle beach area of south carolina...but with that kind of monetary credit open to all buyers, we could really recover the real estate market back to normal levels. Mortgage rates are rising slightly and you know when demand increases so will rates so you will want to be on the front end of the buying-blitz. Stay tuned for updated info on the decision from the Government from Eagle Realty.

What does service REALLY mean…our goal at Eagle Realty

Eagle Realty — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:41:22 -0500

Wikitionary (courtsy of wikipedia.com) defines SERVICE as : An event in which an entity takes the responsibility that something desirable happens on the behalf of another entity.

Are we as REALTORS and particularly at Eagle Realty, striving to bring this mind set tot he work place with every client we encounter. To 1. Take responsibility...this is BIG, if we don't take responsibility, how can we act on their behalf? We are an "agent" to our clients, we must own up to that and practice that responsibility in our relationship with our customers and clients.
2. are we "acting on behalf for something desirable" to happen for our clients? This means we want the best for our clients, even if it something we don't like or don't want...if it is the best for them then it is our focus. We don't put them into "un-desirable" situations. Also is the proeprty you are showing them in their best interest and what they DESIRE? Are you doing your job 100% to market and try to sell their listing even if it not the best listing, best area, or best price. Are we being honest with them for a desirable outcome even if it may be hard for them to hear (one thing i think we all struggle with).

The BEST SERVICE - It's not about us, it's about the client...and in turn the better the service, the more clients you will have to service.

Trust the Experts, at Eagle Realty...

Another Month Comes to A Close 2009

Eagle Realty — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:59:24 -0500

June passes by in a flurry and the first month of summer vacation comes and goes, and now we head into 4th of July weekend and sweltering heat...so what are you up to?
Statistically, July brings about a slight slow down in sales history shows us, but is now really a time to go by historical numbers? Interest rates don't know what month it is and foreclosures don't seem to go with the trend...check it out. The deals are as hot as the summer is here in myrtle beach and north myrtle beach areas...why wait? Most fo you are here visitng anyway, might as well snatch a hot day becasue sellers are ready to raise their prices slightly thinking things will turn around this fall. If they do you will be not only complaining about how the interest rates jumped, but now the prices have stopped dipping too...whatever shall we do?
Eagle Realty doesn't want you as a buyer to miss out on the current environment. If the media deters you from even looking, well thats just ridiculous. I doubt they really know you personally and know what YOU want in a property...who are they to tell you its not right for you? Take a look yourself...it costs nothing, and you may be surprised at what you find. Trus tthe experts at Eagle, Eagle Realty.

Myrtle Beach Deals Everywhere, Sometimes Too Much To Take

Eagle Realty — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:18:39 -0500

Hey everyone, here in Myrtle beach and North Myrtle Beach the classic line from a buyer is "send me a deal" or "im looking for a steal"...now i know we all hear that all the time, but i don't think alot of people realize what the word "deal" means.
Firs toff, we need to know that the term "deal" is relative...depending on what your purpose for the property is going to be, deal can vary. This is a clear reason why using a Realtor will help narrow the search saving you time and money. At Eagle Realty we pride ourselves on being the local experts in the market place finding or selling a property quickly, efficienctly, and honestly.
Also just because the property is a deal/steal, it doesnt mean it may be perfect when adding in outside factors like location, financing, and other fees associated with it. Knowing all the info is important in making a decision and using an Eagle agent in deciphering everything nessecary to make an informed decision is your best bet.
So as your looking fo rthe best Myrtle Beach deals on the coast, call, email, or text Eagle Realty to make sure you are getting a true "deal" at the beach!

Monday Morning OPEN, and Myrtle Beach Condo Sales

Eagle Realty — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:09:52 -0500

Lets be honest, we all are sitting in our offices with the Live streaming cast of the final roudn of the US Open (that was delayed to today) playing in a tab on our browser. Woods just doesnt have enough holes to make a strong comeback, but the leaders at the top (or were) are giving many people a chance to make a run at it. (oops had to run an errand and now i am back and Mickleson takes the lead!)

Well, its just not Tigers year right now...tough million dollar life for him i guess...

I recieved an email from Frank mcGinnis at Bank of America and he suggested a couple things to look for if you are getting financing on a condo here in the myrtle or north myrtle beach area. Whether it is an investment, 2nd home, or rental property. Here are some things to have your Realtor at Eagle Realty look for and get info on:

Fannie and Freddie have changed several things to react to this market.

They are :

1. What % of the unit in the homeowners association are rented? Most banks do not let renters exceed 25% of the total units. Bank of America goes up to 50%.

2. What % of the unit owners are behind in their dues ? ( change effective 4/09) 15% of the owners can not be over 30 days past due on Homeowners Associations dues.

3. Buyers are now required to get a condo owners insurance policy( HO6 policy) ( Change was effective 4/09) . This insurance would pay to refurbish the unit in the event of a fire.

4. Is their any law suits the HOA is involved in ? This can keep you from getting a Fannie/Freddie condo approval.

5. Does this building have a on-site rental desk on a on-premise rental desk? Most lenders all this a condo-tel now

this is some good criteria to see if getting lending on a condo is even possible. Now the good news is if you are a cash buyer, then all this NOT relative...and you need to call us right away! :) http://www.eaglerealtysc.com/

FUNNY FRIDAY, NORTH MYRTLE BEACH REAL ESTATE

Eagle Realty — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:24:24 -0500

Good morning, good morning... (did you know in ancient hebrew culture if you wanted to add emphasis to a phrase or statement you repeated it, even in writing)...either way, so i was greeted on yahoo by an interesting article about how to spot a struggling economy using wierd measuring devices/occurences, check out this link:

http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/107186/10-quirky-economic-indicators?mod=bb-budgeting

Some of my favorties included the increase in mosquito activity due to abandon pools at foreclosures and people not maintaining their own pool because of cost and the fact we go to the dry cleaners less and the struggle in their industry (i know i am guilty of that...it is amazing how much it costs and how loving my wife is to learn how to iron. Just dont forget to check the label of what you buy to make sure it is not dry clean only). We all need to be concious in our current environment, but not only when it is bad, but lets be good stewards of our finances in the good times as well. In that way everytime will be a good time.

Have a great weekend!!

North Myrtle Beach Home Reductions and Confusing Deals...

Eagle Realty — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:37:12 -0500

I need to vent a little bit first about a transaction that went bust. In fact, we have all pretty much determined that if a Buyer wants a "smooth and easy" transaction this is not the market for them. We as Realtors can only go so far as to make everything work and ok, but really, sellers and banks today are just literally insane. I mean really, a seller trying to get out of a contract they signed, ratified and agreed too because a little higher offer came in a couple hours later and making it seem like that is ok or even unfair for her to honor her committment...AND SHE IS A LICENSED AGENT!!! and thinks this...

Ok, moving on, venting session over...i would like to make mention of a great home, over 2100 sq ft, oversized garage, screen porch, on large corner lots, 4 minutes from the beach, and NO POA's. 3BR/2BA reduced to $303,700 Firm reduction.

Also development opportunity in Little River, SC with Eagle Cove project...looking for investors to partner (high yield return), or purchasers for raw land.

Have a great thursday!!

Myrtle Beach Mortgage Rates...are You Seriously Still Waiting?

Eagle Realty — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 12:25:00 -0500

Chart: Freddie Mac 30-Yr Fixed Rates

The above chart provided by: Tim Lane | Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist | Crescent Bank | (p) 843-222-8574 | (f) 843-429-2429

I know this is kinda a dramatic illustration, and we are not trying to incite panic, but aren't you tired of waiting? I mean seriously...even now rates are still under 6% but for how much longer? Do you want to take that chance? We classify rates are at "historic lows" when they are under 6% for the most part, but we as humans get sooo greedy. I mean, we were all waiting (now be honest) for rates to go under 4%...to that 3.99% or lower #. But if they had, would you really have moved? Some would, but most would say "oh, they will go lower"...when will the madness end? Find the deal or property best for you and pursue because it is what you want or need,...don't rely on the economists or media telling you your wrong, because if it is meant for you, if it is your "perfect property", how can they telly ou your wrong?
