hampstead: Sure I Trust. But I Also Verify.
- 10/13/11 01:51 PM
Before Lending became challenging, a cash offer had less power than a cash buyer would wish. After all, the lender was going to easily provide “cash” too! I heard it often, “all offers are cash offers!’ Today, a cash offer is more attractive but, sellers will expect proof of funds from cash buyers just as they expect a preapproval mortgage from a buyer needing a mortgage!

hampstead: These MLS photos are JUST WRONG! I think my head is going to EXPLODE!
- 10/09/11 05:18 AM
Is it possible there is so little understanding of the importance of quality marketing that these Seller’s do not understand the detrimental effect on their home sale? Is it possible, they haven't asked to see the listing? With so many homes for sale both Buyer’s and Buyer’s agents are going to make decisions about which homes to visit based on the photographs!

hampstead: The “Consultants” Were the Canaries in the Coal Mine!
- 10/07/11 04:28 PM
I’ve often thought that so-called "consultants" were the proverbial "canaries in the coal mine" - the unrecognized harbingers of trouble coming in the job market. Atlanta had a lot of “consultants.” Today, they would belong to that large group we now call the “shadow unemployed.” They aren’t counted in the nation’s 9%+ unemployment figure and are more troubling to me than more recently unemployed. The “consultants” I knew were middle class, educated (sometimes very well educated) and carried business cards. Some had periodic work while some had been unemployed “consultants” for years. But, they didn’t like thinking of themselves as unemployed. The trend … (0 comments)

hampstead: Everything Started With the Price of Dirt!
- 10/04/11 04:50 PM
Everything started with the price of dirt. It’s true what a builder pays for the land impacts what they build. That explains what happened when average lot price doubled and tripled in the early 2000s As building lots got more expensive, builders were forced to build larger and larger, ever more expensive homes. It seemed 3000 sq ft or larger homes were everywhere. And, no one offers a big home without including special features. Granite counters in kitchens, 42" cabinets, ever larger amounts of hardwood floors and luxury baths were standards in oversize homes. By 2006, both the lot boom and building boom were over. Builders … (6 comments)

hampstead: Myth is so powerful
- 10/04/11 06:15 AM
Myth is so powerful it explains the run up in home prices. Myth is so powerful it takes on life of its own and some memory seems to last forever. There are endless examples in history but the one I use to explain the housing boom is the CA gold rush lasting from 1848 to 1855. I think the gold rush a good analogy for the run up in home prices. It’s true buyers who jumped in toward the end of the boom found themselves in similar circumstances to miners who arrived late to CA - debt ridden and disappointed. Taking the power of myth … (2 comments)

It isn’t Logical But It’s Your Home & You Can list with a flat fee broker and ask more in a falling market than you paid for it just a year of two ago. What brings this to mind is a new listing that appeared this week. A homeowner who purchased just two years ago is listed with a flat fee broker and the showing instructions say “contact owner directly.” The asking price is more than they paid for the home and neither pictures nor remarks indicate any apparent updating. I've seen this before and, usually, the asking price is the … (4 comments)
hampstead: Here Comes The (foreclosure) Rain Again....Falling On Our Heads
- 10/02/11 03:37 AM
This year there were fewer foreclosure listings on the market in our market but ONLY because the government stopped the banks illegal activity called "robo signing" in fall 2010 and slowed down the process. In our four county area, the number of Substitute Trustees appointed has continued unabated. Substitute Trustees are a legal step in the process of foreclosure. They are coming and will further depress out market pricing.

hampstead: Familiarity Breeds Contempt!
- 10/01/11 03:21 PM
Familiarity breeds contempt is an ancient phrase said to have it origins in Aesop’s Fables in the story of the Fox and Lion. It goes like this: “When first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened, and ran away and hid himself in the wood. Next time however he came near the King of Beasts he stopped at a safe distance and watched him pass by. The third time they came near one another the Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the time of day with him, asking him how his family were, and when he … (2 comments)
