This is a Re-Blog of a post from Jim  with Real Living in Florida...the problem with vacant homes is national...   some areas more than others.

short sales: The Long and Short of Buying a Short Sale... - 06/04/09 03:35 AM
 
I just can't resist Sally alluding to fashion...  I have to Re-Blog Sally Hanson's "The Long and Short of Buying a Short Sale..."  about myths about short sales.
A client inquired about a former builder's model which is on the market (listed in the Columbus Board of REALTORS® multiple listing service) now as a short sale... I thought of that property when reading Sally's myth:
" - All short sales are vacant properties that have been trashed" 
Gorgeous is a better description.
Cute skirts...

short sales: Ohio Home Foreclosures "the sun will come out tomorrow" - 03/12/09 03:57 AM
 
I was reading the latest news about national home foreclosures from Realty Trac online. Well skimming the article is more like it...  I skimmed "Realtytrac Feb forclosures rise setback market"  anyway...
I skim for Ohio...  my eyes caught the state and regions in the headlines.
I saw California, Nevada, Florida... over and over as I skimmed.   I saw Arizona but I did not see Ohio... as I skimmed... when  "Sunbelt cities post top metro foreclosure rates" I was thinking the news was not that gloomy for Ohio and they, those sunbelt cities... have sun... we sometimes don't see it for … (4 comments)

short sales: Buying a Short Sale Property - 02/21/09 02:15 AM
 
My buddy Liz Householder wrote this... this is a "re-blog" of Liz's post.
Liz wrote this about "Connecticut" the state where she lives and sells real estate and blogs...
It's pretty similar in many ways to "Buying a Short Sale Property" in Central Ohio but I am no expert...   :- ) The issued Liz writes about in her fourth paragraph, "If the buyer has an inspection and doesn't want to fix the problems that crop up, the contracts in Connecticut allow the buyer to walk away."  are dealt with in the contract we use here.  The Columbus Board of Realtors … (1 comments)
