This is the front page article in the Idaho Statesman on this Saturday morning, Feb. 6, 2010.
When I was called by the reporter for information for her article, I was nervous because you never know if the newspaper will quote you right or place your comments in the right context.
Though my quote was short, I will say, she published it accurately.
"The appraisers need to take a look at making adjustments for non-distressed properties. Too-low appraisals can kill traditional sales, while too-high ones can kill short sales."
My position is that distressed properties should have some sort of adjustment in the appraisal process to differentiate their value, due to the "hassle" of waiting for a short sale and the fact they may actually sell for less than market value.
I understand when a majority of the market is comprised of distressed properties, that these lower values can drive the market and actually BECOME the market, however, if we continue on this trend, there may be no recovery from a continuing downward slope of home values.
I know there are buyers out there who want to avoid short sales because of the waiting time and therefore, they may be willing to pay a premium for a non-short sale property. With our current trend of appraisal methods, they are often buying a non-short sale property for a short sale price without the wait.
I think you can see where this could possibly lead.
Any thoughts from what appraisers are doing in your area? Let me know. We need to stop the huge snowball from rolling to the bottom of the hill & taking all of our equity with it!

Like most great athletes, Realtors can be very competitive people. They don't like to lose. Their "No Lose Attitude" can sometimes make the difference between success and failure during tough markets and difficult times.
Ray Crock, at 51, tried for 2 years and talked to more than one hundred people trying to raise money to start McDonald's.
Walt Disney failed miserably in his first four attempts to live his dream.
Henry Ford went bankrupt seven times while trying to build the Ford Motor Company.
One of my favorite quotes:
"Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." Calvin Coolidge

Being a SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource) Designee, I naturally get a lot of questions from people who are stressed to the max and who may be tempted to just give up on their dream of home ownership by "letting the bank take it back". While this may seem like the quick way out of a difficult situation, it is also the worst option for the homeowner.
There are plenty of alternatives and foreclosure should be your last resort. It will be the most damaging to your financial situation and while there may not be actual "fines", depending on your situation, you could end up with personal judgements against you or some nasty tax consequences. You should interview several Realtors find one who is experieced with short sales and possibly someone like me who has taken the new SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource) designation.
Foreclosures can drop your credit score A MINUMUM of 200 points (or more) and it can stay on your credit report for 10 years. Even after 10 years, potential lenders may ask you if you have EVER had a foreclosure. So please do not feel that this is your only option.
HOMEOWNERS FACING FORECLOSURE SHOULD ALSO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER TALKING TO A TAX PROFESSIONAL AND A REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY. I know that sounds like an expensive and daunting task, but there are attorneys who will advise you for a flat fee or who will work to come up with an affordable payment.
