Short sales rising
Scanning the Southern California Multiple Listing Service (MLS) last week, the one thing that stands out is the growing number of short sales. Last year, you rarely saw the phrase “short sale” in the MLS property description. Today, approximately 10 percent of the listed properties are short sales. That indicates lenders are getting more eager to unload properties in foreclosure, even if it means selling them for less than is owed on the mortgage. Short sales occur when home prices fall and mortgage debt exceeds the value of the property.

All five of the states with foreclosure markets most favorable to buyers and investors reported annual foreclosure rates of more than 1 percent of total households along with increasing foreclosures in 2005. It’s important for buyers and investors who are interested in the foreclosures market to carefully evaluate local market conditions before diving into foreclosures in any given area.

Local Market Perspective: Lake Havasu, Ariz.
I am seeing a rise in foreclosures and short sales far higher than May of 2007. My last seven sales have all been bank-owned homes, with over 171 contacts from my RealtyTrac source. Unfortunately, what folks hear in the news, for the most part, does not apply to Lake Havasu; with it being a second home community, people from out of state are not jumping on the buying wagon since their present homes, which are up for sale, are still not selling. With a population of fewer than 55,000, the Lake Havasu, Ariz., real estate market is still declining.

As more and more mortgage lenders get stuck with owning over-priced distressed properties, RealtyTrac customers and real estate investors nationwide could be the solution to the broader economic housing woes. Cracks are appearing in the foundation of the housing market as shock waves — triggered by concern over a surge in bad subprime mortgages — jolted the stock market this week, sending the Dow Jones industrial average downward by more than 243 points, amid fears that a mortgage meltdown in the subprime lending sector could have broader economic implications.
