- 07/12/13 12:46 PM
Soaring prices are leaving fewer homeowners owing more money than their properties are worth, bringing them off the sidelines of the nation's surging housing market and offering relief to buyers who are frustrated by bidding wars. As more homes are put up for sale, price increases are expected to moderate. Mark Flemming, chief economist at real estate data provider CoreLogic Inc., calls it "a virtuous circle."

marin realty experts: Anatomy of a Short Sale - Part 11
- 04/08/09 07:49 AM
Here's what's been happening on this short sale (see prior entries for the whole story): I received a call on Thursday, April 2 from Marjorie, Countrywide's "second phase negotiator" asking me to fax her a copy of the HUD1 closing statement showing the amount ($3000) that the first lender (Chase, via Select Portfolio Services) would offer them to settle.

The seller paid $312,000 and owes nearly that amount since she purchased it with nothing down 2 1/2 years ago. I thought you might be interested in following the progress of a short sale such as this. Shortly after I posted it, I received a verbal offer, followed up by an email from a Las Vegas buyer with investor cash who wanted to buy it sight unseen, since it's is a good cash flow opportunity. I asked him to submit an … (0 comments)
