Pre-forclosure taste the hot water...

No matter how much we slice and dice the statistics, percentages and projected numbers, the truth is that housing market is far from re-bounce, particularly, in Las Vegas.

I came across many posts here on ActiveRain trying to keep up with the statistics of monthly, quarterly...etc. They all are valuable, interesting facts, we get in hand, in order to understand the direction and flow of the market. But one thing is relevant, for Las Vegas Market, the situation is not improving as well as it was expected. Tired of reading rehashed economic reports? If you want to read the originals and make up your own mind, check out  Census Bureau Economic Indicators

Pre-foreclosures really taste the hot water... tells you volume about what's going on and what can we expect in the immediate future. People are more and more in trouble and the situation it's escalating. Only when pre-foreclosures start dropping, we see a market turnaround.

Grouping foreclosure properties

• "Pre-foreclosures" are homes on which the owner has fallen behind on the mortgage or which have already been taken back by the lender, but haven't yet been placed on the market.
• "Auction foreclosures" are bank-owned homes that will be sold on the auction block.
• "Listed foreclosures" are bank-owned homes that have been listed for sale with a local realty broker.

Pre-foreclosures, start with a notice of default, signal that people are in financial trouble and those numbers are growing rapidly. The problem is deep now with repercussions to the economy. Not only do those people who overbought get hurt, but the whole community gets hurts. As the crisis deepens and foreclosures escalate, it is everyone's problem.

The county has 15,937 pre-foreclosures through the first quarter of the year, or 3.11 percent of its 512,253 households, the online foreclosure source reported.

Nevada leads the nation with 2.42 percent of its households, or 18,087 homes, in pre-forclosure through March, ReviewJournal.com - Business - ECONOMY: Bad news mounts in housing

Real-estate brokers typically have access to plenty of information about the location, price and condition of listed foreclosures. They assist you in any request for information you need to assess the housing market and opportunities for immediate consideration in your investment choices...

But information about pre-foreclosures, typically much more difficult to obtain. And there are a lot of opportunities on today's market. You can't get as much information there as you would like to but you can:

• Ask a Real Estate Professional to assist you in locating pre-foreclosures in the area of your choice.
• An other easy way to identify possible pre-foreclosures is to drive around and look for homes that appear to be unoccupied... If the lights are never on and the grass has grown unusually high, the home may have been left vacant in advance of a foreclosure. Homes are notorious for their poor condition, because the former owners typically leave under duress and have neither the means nor the inclination to take care of the property.
• Verify the property value. If selling the property through an investor, the Real Estate Profesional will provide an estimate of market value.
• Determine the amount owed against the property. This will be the total of all loans against the property. Have the investor contact the lender. Some lenders are willing to cooperate by reducing the amount owed or making other arrangements.
• Check with an accountant. The IRS often gets involved with short sales because they are seen as a relief of debt and may be treated as income.
