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.

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.

OTS Director Offers Alternative Plan to Congress
Under the FHA Housing Stabilization and Homeownership Retention Act of 2008 (the HSHR Act), the FHA proposes to guarantee up to $300 billion in new mortgages to refinance existing eligible mortgages originated between January 1, 2005 and July 1, 2007, the report notes.

BK' Doesn't Stand for Burger King
The federal government clamped down on that “loophole” with the passage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. In the end, more bankruptcy filings may translate into more short sales down the road, or possibly more people simply walking away from their homes — with or without a deed in lieu of foreclosure — in essence handing the keys back over to the lender. Whether the net result is a short sale, a walk The only kind of whopper a person with this kind of ‘BK’ is going to get is a whopper of a headache. In this, the legal sense for

As Home Prices Plummet, When Will You Buy?
The estimates ranged from 25 to 40 percent from peak to trough, but all the economists thought prices could overshoot going down (as they did going up) and could be down as much as 55 percent in parts of Southern California.
