• Local Market Perspective: Seattle, Wash.
  
  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. The Seattle market is not what you see on the news, hear on the radio, or read in the paper in terms of the rest of the nation’s foreclosure woes. Out of those nine contracts, nine have been beat by better offers. I

• Local Market Perspective: Cape Coral, Fla.
  
  The agents will be sharing their insights about what is happening on the ground in their local housing market, particularly as it relates to foreclosures. This presents a whole new challenge, they use mobile closers who rarely have time to speak with you, and all the fees they charge are usually higher than if you close with a local title company. Multiple offers are not new, but have taken on a new meaning in this market. Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of guest blog posts from members of the RealtyTrac Agent Network .

• CBBB Alert Has Good Side for Investors
  
  For subscribers to RealtyTrac, there is some good, and some not so good to take away from this latest round of rampant real estate fraud. On the not so good side, these scammers — some of them greedy lenders — are using the same marketing methods to get noticed that legitimate real estate investors, agents and buyers use to buy properties in foreclosure — postcards, e-mails, phone calls, etc. The good side of The Council of Better Business Bureaus has issued an international alert to homeowners warning them to be wary of scam artists offering to help them out of their current financial predicament and buy their house from them.

• Fed's Cautionary Stance Predictable
  
  Did anyone really expect anything else out of Ben Bernanke and the other 10 members of the Federal Open Market Committee this time around? As predicted by everyone from Wall Street analysts and TV commentators, to probably the corner grocery store clerk down the street, the Federal Reserve held steadfast at their meeting Tuesday and kept its short term federal funds rate at 2 percent. The official statement released by the Committee Tuesday had a cautionary tone, noting that inflation remains a key concern as labor markets continue to soften and the housing market “contraction”

• Foreclosures: Chicken or Egg?
  
  It’s a classic chicken-and-egg question: are foreclosures a cause or a symptom of the slumping housing market?

  When it comes to purchasing real estate — either as a primary residence or as an investment — perception is everything. When reports of telltale economic indicators are released, if Wall Street perceives them as bad, the market takes an immediate tumble. But when the indicators reported come is as expected, the reaction is generally good and we see an uptick in market activity. So it is with real estate.

• Greed and Deceit Get Their Comeuppance in Any Cycle
  
  It’s a recurring theme in the real estate industry; mostly visible in the financial sector, although one would have to be a fool to believe it didn’t take place in every aspect of the real estate transaction. By comparison, in the present situation there is plenty of blame to go around — lenders probably not disclosing everything they should have, and borrowers not reading everything they should have before signing on the dotted line — in the end it’s still the lenders that people are cursing at in a rather loud voice nowadays.
