The second report shows the 4 short sale active listings. Short sales are transactions where the proceeds of the sale will not cover the outstanding mortgages. These are pre-foreclosures. Home buyers need to be very selective when submitting offers on short sales. If the price appears too good to be true, the listing may be unrealistic. Investors are playing the odds by submitting contracts on several properties.

The third report shows 8 lender owned foreclosures (REO) for sale. The lender owned properties are vacant and prices are reduced until they are sold by the highly motivated sellers. Many of the REO properties need repairs due to deferred maintenance. Bargains are found in this inventory and well priced properties are attracting multiple offers.

Mortgage Financing: Pre-approval for financing is the first step in the home purchase process. Buyers need to have a lender letter in hand when they submit an offer on a property. Buyers should be prepared to fully document their income and obligations. Ask us for a referral if you do not have an existing relationship with a mortgage lender.
