Spring backward to sell that house! - 04/21/08 06:49 PM
On April 13th I had a quote in the Bergen County Record in an article about how to increase your chances of selling your home with some quick fixes.  Take a look!
Everything is fresh and new in the spring - except for stale home listings.
Homes that have been on the market for a long time - six months or more - need special help to appear fresh to buyers for the spring selling season.
The first and the most important "freshening up" is the price.
"If a house came on the market in the fall and went through the whole winter without offers, it … (1 comments)

Short Sale Information: Why would a buyer purchase a Short Sale? - 04/11/08 03:30 PM
Why would a buyer purchase a Short Sale? Buyers are free to make low offers and have them be entertained. There are no homeowners to be upset by the amount of the offer. You are letting the bank make a rational decision about how much they are willing to accept. For a buyer the Short Sale process is much better than purchasing a foreclosure property. Typically there are no chances to inspect foreclosure properties. Also, you have to do the title work (at an expense to you). When you purchase a Short Sale property, the bank will have to deliver a … (6 comments)

Short Sale Information: Why would the mortgagee take less than they are owed in a Short Sale? - 04/11/08 03:15 PM
Why would the mortgagee take less than they are owed in a Short Sale? They have to look at their costs. If this person stops paying their mortgage and they have to foreclose there are more costs than just the outstanding mortgage costs involved. Additional legal fees, fixing up the home to get it ready to sell, back taxes, realtors commission, etc. Some have placed the pricetag for a bank to foreclose as high as $100,000. A Short Sale provides the bank with a buyer today at a price they are willing to pay. The bank can then lend the money … (1 comments)

Short Sale Information - Why would a homeowner participate in a Short Sale? - 04/11/08 03:00 PM
Why would a homeowner participate in a Short Sale? The homeowner needs to sell their home and what they owe is more than the home is worth. They don't have extra cash to write a check for the difference. A successfully negotiated Short Sale will help them avoid foreclosure. Once a person has a foreclosure on their record, it becomes nearly impossible for them to purchase a home in the future for a reasonable interest rate. There is also the stigma of being locked out of your home, the announcement that your home is up for Sheriff's sale and last but … (0 comments)

Short Sale Information - Why are short sales happening? - 04/11/08 02:55 PM
Why are Short Sales happening? The Real Estate market is certainly down from the highs of just a few years ago. In many towns and also here in Bergen County there were excessive appraisals done. Meaning that there really was no solid basis for the value of a home except for the fact that someone was willing to purchase it. You had a willing homebuyer and a willing mortgage company to make the loan. The criteria for underwriting the loans was considerably more liberal. Some folks took the teaser rates some as low as 1% for a fixed period of time. … (2 comments)
