short sale: There is no reason this should not be in Escrow? Hualalai Colony - 3/2, gated, views, $599,000 - 09/12/11 07:52 AM
 I'm not new at this, 36 short sale transactions closed, 11 in escrow right now, 6 more listed, including this one?
The sister home to this - 2 lots away, is listed at $709,000 - all comps suggest I can get this closed at the $599,000 - so why is this one sitting here?

Update 7/31/11 
Lance Owens, Kailua Kona, HI Realtor, gives a run down on the Hawaii Real Estate Market

Although the month is not officially over yet, Home sales do not take place on weekends, so we can safely report these numbers (Note: MLS rules state you can take as long as 5 days to report a sale – so the numbers may go up slightly)
Let’s take a look at the July 2011 sales report, Number of Homes Sold: UP by 43% over the same 31 days last year.
Year To Date (YTD): I prefer this method over the … (2 comments)

short sale: Hawaii Act 48: Fannie Mae finds loophole in new Hawaii law and converts all foreclosures to "Judicial" - 06/16/11 08:50 AM
 
It sure didn’t take long for someone to find the first loophole in Hawaii's new Act 48 - designed to help homeowners in foreclosure. And wouldn’t you guess, its Mortgage Giant Fannie Mae –
You really need to have an understanding of what Act 48 was designed to do, and how this affects homeowner’s rights. In short: Act 48 helped homeowners in a Non-Judicial foreclosure, it forced the bank to meet eye to eye with the homeowners, and more so, it forced them to take a hard look at whether or not a “loan Mod” (HAMP) could actually help, … (2 comments)
