I haven’t seen too many posts lately about points for blogging or ranking. So I decided to encourage those that may be not as active as I to start off the year with a goal of placement. For myself, I look forward to maxing out the allowed points for the week and watching my name advance. It took a while to be discipline to do this on a daily basis. However by doing so, I feel it keeps me in the game of our local real estate. Currently I … (0 comments)
West Palm Beach – August 21, 2013 – July housing reports indicate year-over-year, new listings for single family homes increased 20.7 percent and townhomes and condos increased 4.4 percent. Timothy Harris, 2013 President of the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches said, “Clearly sellers are responding to the demand for inventory and increasing property values. At the same time, perspective buyers want to lock into what is still considered relatively low mortgage rates. As a result, the local real estate market is very active.”

- 08/25/13 03:19 PM
Delinquency rates hit lowest since 2008 The market is continuing its steady recovery, with the delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one-to-four-unit residential properties falling to 6.96% in the second quarter, the lowest level since mid-2008, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.
The delinquency rate includes loans that are at least one payment past due; however, it does not include loans in the process of foreclosure.
Also reaching the lowest level since the first quarter of 2007, the percentage of loans on which foreclosure actions were started during the second quarter decreased to 0.64% from 0.70%.
The real estate industry is taking steps to prevent scraping — or data piracy — of online real estate listings. Realtor.com said earlier this year that it is making efforts to block automated bots from trying to scrape listing data from its more than 1 million pages per day. “Scraping happens every day, and it’s something that’s surprisingly inexpensive for cybercriminals to do,” Amit Kulkarni, Move’s creative director, said in a blog post detailing realtor.com’s efforts to curb scraping. The latest company to step in and join anti-scraping efforts: Distil … (4 comments)

Lawmakers have been talking about reforming the secondary mortgage market since the housing bust, but the effort has remained largely in the planning stage. Now it’s moving forward.
In the House last week, the Financial Services Committee passed a bill, called the PATH Act, which would phase out the two secondary mortgage market companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The bill would also make major changes to the way FHA conducts its business. “PATH” stands for “Protecting America’s Taxpayers and Homeowners.” In the Senate, comprehensive legislation has been introduced … (0 comments)

What does Baseball, 9/11 and President Bush all have in common? Most people are not aware that a secret service guy dressed as an umpire the night President Bush threw out the first pitch during the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium. Great story. I'm surprised that none of the newspaper guys ever picked up on the "stranger" in the umpire's uniform. Remember this was just after 9/11 ................... If you don't do anything else today, just watch this .... it's great .. Opening World Series Pitch - 12 years ago. This is our country at one of its … (0 comments)
