foreclosure: Home Owners and Banks are working together to avoid foreclosing, you can help too!
- 12/21/09 05:04 PM
The "shadow inventory" of homes that are due to be foreclosed upon may dissipate quickly as home owners, lending institutions, investors and banks are now working together to unload homes without having to foreclose. Home Owners are now encouraged to attempt to modify their loans or show a hardship that has put them in financial stress. Lenders are joining in to Short Sale homes rather than foreclose. This benefits the Lender by allowing them to sell quicker and reinvest right away. Sellers are able to avoid the permanent stain of a foreclosure on their record and may be able to buy a home … (0 comments)

foreclosure: Santa Clarita Valley Buyers and Sellers "Jumping through hoops!"
- 07/08/09 10:13 AM
Buyers and Sellers are both discouraged for opposite reasons. Buyers that have jumped into the real estate market are finding low inventories and having to compete for well priced homes. Sellers are finding out that in order to sell they must price their home competitively with foreclosure, Short Sales and REO listings. The biggest drawback for both buyers and sellers is that once a price is agreed upon it is nearly impossible to get the appraised value. My Suggestions: Be dedicated and committed to your success. Not buying could lead to missing out on current pricing or having to pay a … (0 comments)

foreclosure: Buying a home in Valencia or the Santa Clarita Valley?
- 06/10/09 03:08 AM
There are times we give advice like "The sky is falling" and it falls of deaf ears! I have been beating the drum to buyers of something similar to this. It has been my proclamation for 6 month now that if I were in a position to buy homes I would buy and keep buying until the market turned around. Well, "the market has turned around" and prices are so low now that "Sellers" are making the decision as to who has the honor of owning their home. Look back at my interviews and writing and you will find a message … (0 comments)

foreclosure: Should I Short Sale or allow my home to become another Foreclosure?
- 03/16/09 04:39 AM
Should I Short Sale or allow my home to become another Foreclosure? Of course the best thing you can do is keep your home! However home owners in America today may not have that option. The biggest benefit of a Short Sale is that your credit may be back to normal within 24 months where a foreclosure will hurt your credit for 7 years and perhaps longer. The most important factors for selling via Short Sale are: Seller's commitment to the process and willingness to assist with the success of the process. Lender's Approval to allow the sale despite not being … (0 comments)
