• Screech from "Saved by the Bell" in Foreclosure
  
  This is different from your typical foreclosur e because it doesnt involve a lender foreclosing on a defaulted loan; it involves a landowner foreclosing on a land contract, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel . Any advice from you investors out there if the T-shirt sales dont work out? Posted 06-22-2006 3:18 PM by darenb Filed under: Pre-Foreclosure The Associated Press is reporting that actor Dustin Diamond from televisions "Saved by the Bell" is selling T-shirts to help bail his home out of foreclosure. "Diamond, 29, is trying to sell nearly 30,000 shirts – at $15 or $20 (autographed) each – to supplement the income he makes as a standup comic so he doesn’t have to move from his Port Washington home, about 25 miles north of Milwaukee."

• Will Homeowners Sink or Swim?
  
  And prices of existing homes fell in August for the first time in 11 years as sales dipped to their lowest level since early 2004, according to the National Association of Realtors . Earlier in the year, there was a lot of discussion about a “soft landing” for the residential real estate market. Now there is increasing talk of a “harder landing.” Many American homeowners — initially attracted to low teaser rates on those “exotic” ARMs and sub-prime loans — now find themselves swimming upstream in a desperate attempt to remain financially afloat. But as the rising tide

• Now Homebuilders Face Foreclosure
  
  Sales of new homes have suffered the biggest decline since records began in 1963. New-home sales plunged 26.4 Homebuilders, meanwhile, have been frantically selling off properties at huge discounts, laying off employees and selling undeveloped land to raise capital and remain liquid. But many homebuilders — both publicly and privately held — will become extinct in For millions of Americans facing foreclosure, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut this week was welcome news that could possibly help save thousands of homeowners from default by giving them the opportunity to refinance their adjustable-rate loan into a fixed-rate mortgage with a lower interest rate.

• Gentle Ben Says the "R" Word...Finally!
  
  Labor Department announced the loss of 80,000 jobs in March 2008, taking the nation’s unemployment rate from 4.8 Gentle Ben was hoping that lowering interest rates would make for a soft and “gentle” landing — which it hasn’t. At least not in 2008. Gentle Ben Bernanke has been careful not to ruffle any feathers on Capitol Hill since assuming his role as the chief caretaker of the U.S. economy. But during his first day of testimony before Sen.

• UCLA: Crash and Burn Unlikely for National Economy
  
  Home sales and housing starts, the report estimates, will both drop (12 percent and 26 percent respectively) with home prices declining on a year-over-year basis as the economy heads for a soft landing. The nation’s economy, driven mostly by the real estate sector, has been flying at Mach 1 in clear blue skies for a number of years. Now, however, some clouds are starting to appear on the horizon, and as air currents are changing, pilots are starting to throttle back and slow things down a bit, and distressed homeowners are belted into their seats as they find themselves in for a more bumpy

  Over the past three months, my clients and I have presented nine contracts to pre-foreclosure, REO and short sale sellers. In the Northern Seattle area there currently very few REO properties, and in terms of real short sales, I have seen under 10 that are decent over the past month. Here are some things to keep in mind when investing in the Seattle market: Land is an extremely limited resource in this city. Out of those nine contracts, nine have been beat by better offers. I

• As Home Prices Plummet, When Will You Buy?
  
  In my opinion, we are going to see around 50% home price drop from peak in 2007(for south land) before price can stabilize. If you move westward other cities like Upland, Claremont, La Vern, San Dimas, Glendora, Azusa, Covina, Monrovia, Arcadia, San Gabriel, Temple City, Alhambra, Rosemead and Monterey Park, house price does not drop too much, probably around 5 to 10%. We sold a condo and bought a single-family home.
