So many deals....so MUCH time?

Sounds strange, but the average condo buyer in Midtown is finding they have too many "deals" to choose from these days. The market is literally flooded with short sales and foreclosures -- a lagging indicator of the economic crisis that began not too long ago. So where does this leave the buying community? In need ....in need of a professional who can help navigate through the sea of listings that will likely never get approved by short sale lenders or mired down in making offers with unresponsive foreclosure listing agents. CondoMidtown is here to help, since we are certified in distressed property sales to better assist you in not wasting time...even when time is on your side! Call today for a free comparison of foreclosure vs. short sale in the buying process.

75% of loan modifications will end up in "re-default"

Are you still struggling after a loan modification? Or is your lender just completely unresponsive to your cries for help after months and months? Why not take advantage of the $3,000 Federal short sale incentive while it is available?
 
Most borrowers who have had their mortgages modified through a government-sponsored program will redefault within 12 months, according to a report released Wednesday.   Between 65% and 75% of loans that are modified through the Home Affordable Modification Program(HAMP) but not backed by the federal government are likely to go bad, according to the report released by Fitch Ratings, a N.Y.-based credit-rating agency. The main reason these borrowers continue to struggle is that HAMP does nothing to solve the rest of their debt problems, the report added.  “Many of these borrowers still have very heavy levels of other debt,” said Diane Pendley, a Fitch managing director, “auto loans, credit cards and other expenses.
 
The HAMP modifications reduce housing expenses down to 31% of income but do not touch these other obligations.”  Currently, according to the Fitch report, about half of prime borrowers who lose their homes now do so through foreclosure. The other 50% go through short sales, in which they sell their homes for less than what they owe the bank, or deed-in-lieu, a transaction where the bank takes back the property directly and forgives the outstanding balance.  The servicers have been encouraged to rev up their short sale engines by the Treasury Department, which runs HAMP and its sister program, Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA), which provides cash incentives to the parties who agree to short sales.. Now, when borrowers re-default on HAMP mods or other bank workouts, banks are much more likely to offer help to execute a short sale or deed-in-lieu. 
 
Call me today...I know how to help get through the red tape and get you the $3,000 cash assistance!

Short sale can be a battle... watch out for landmines!

A Smooth Transaction is everyone's goal.

You may not know this, but your REALTOR® is working very diligently behind the scenes to get your bank to approve your short sale. They are faxing and re-faxing the same documents to the same departments because the bank has lost the paperwork. They are waiting 40 minutes on the phone just to speak to a representative that is now answering questions about foreclosure dates and HAFA guidelines that last week was processing insurance payments for the Auto Division. They are keeping all these plates spinning and here’s a little checklist of things that you can be doing to minimize problems when your approval letter comes in.

Open your mail and read it.

The bank may have something important to say and they may be do that by mail. If you receive anything that is time sensitive or refers to a court action, please get that to your REALTOR® right away.

Be cautious on the phone

When the bank calls and you answer refer them back to your listing agent. They may ask you questions about terms that you may not understand and a wrong answer can stop your transaction dead in the tracks.

Please dont take your appliances or other attached items.

Remember you are handing your home over to a buyer that is excited about your home and loves it just the way they saw it. You aren't giving it to the bank. Be kind. If you didnt exclude it from your listing agreement it stays. Dont try to get money for those window shutters, door knobs, plumbing and light fixtures and most of all your appliances. You will have to replace anything that you sold, or find another buyer.

Pay your Home Owners Association Dues

Some banks are refusing to pay past HOA bills. If you don’t pay your bill as it comes, you may have to pay past due payments, late charges and attorney fees or court costs if they file a lien for non-payment. Your bill could end up being substantially higher for non-payment.

Pay your Home Owners Insurance

You still own your home. You are still liable if somebody gets hurt on your property. There is still the risk of fires, etc…

Resist the urge to spend your money.

You are probably not financially able to pay your entire mortgage but now have “extra” money each month. Resist, resist, resist buying those things that you have wanted or planning that dream vacation until after your home has closed. Save, save, save your extra money. Banks are frequently asking for cash contributions or owners to share the loss and contribute $5,000 to $20,000 to the transaction. Of course your Agent will try to negotiate that away or reduced, but you may need to bring in those funds. If they get it waived great, you will need a vacation. If they don’t it could kill your deal and instead of having a short sale on your credit report you may have a foreclosure. Instead of purchasing again in an estimated 2-3 years it could be 5-7 years.

Keep the Utilities on, especially if your home is vacant.

Turn down your thermostat for your furnace and hot water heater. Turn off the water valve that enters your house. Invest in an automatic timed light switch like your grandmother had to keep a light on at night. There are people that want to live in your vacant home at night. The banks are less likely to postpone foreclosures on vacant properties. They don’t want to risk the property being vandalized.

Landscaping…Just Do It or pay a teen ager.

Your neighbors and your agent will appreciate that. If you live in a community that has rules about upkeep they will fine you and call your agent over and over and over. Be kind and mow.

Swimming Pools

Put a lock on your backyard gate. Mosquitoes and Algae are big problems. Both are hazardous to kids and pets. If a pet or child falls into a dirty pool nobody may notice. Make sure you run your filter and add chlorine. You don’t want to have any harm come to anyone.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being responsible. Now when the approval comes in you can be ready for that 30 day closing.

"Sidelined Sellers" coming back to the game

So you thought you would "wait it out" and see where the market goes before selling your home?  Didn't want to compete against the short sales and foreclosures, so you sat back for just the right time?  Well, apparently untold millions of your likeminded compadres were thinking the same thing!  Looks like we will be getting ready for yet another form of inventory labeled "sidelined sellers" by the folks at Zillow.  These are homeowne who decided for a variety of reasons to do nothing because nothing was moving in their neighborhoods.  So... as quickly as we Realtors try and burn off excess housing build-up, economists are already predicting that this newest form of "shadow inventory" will work to keep housing prices pretty flat -- and we're talking about 3-5 years.  Was it worth the wait?  Call me today and I will share with you how to sell your home for 98% of asking price in 28 days!!!!

An overview of what was to come...and came...

[IMG 1010 Midtown]ATLANTA (August 4, 2006) — Daniel Corporation, Selig Enterprises, Inc. and the Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund (CJUF) have announced development plans for 1010 Midtown, a 35-story, 630,000-square-foot mixed-use development featuring 443 high-rise condominiums and 38,000 square feet of retail and dining space. The two-acre site is located on Peachtree Street between 11th and 12th streets. Construction for 1010 Midtown is slated to begin August 2006 with the first homes available in the fall of 2008 and retail opening in early 2009.

This is the development team’s second venture in Atlanta. Previously, the partners created the highly successful The Plaza Midtown mixed-use development, consisting of two towers with 418 condominiums atop approximately 70,000 square feet of ground floor retail anchored by a 33,000-square-foot Publix. “Atlanta has embraced intown living and the convenient, sophisticated lifestyle it brings. It is time to offer a commensurate product type,” said Steve Baile, vice president, Daniel Corp. “We have been planning 1010 Midtown for a long time and are excited to begin construction of this project.” 1010 Midtown is set to be the cornerstone of Midtown Alliance’s “Midtown Mile” — the 14-block Peachtree Street corridor between North Avenue and 14th Stree

The development will include 38,000 square feet of street-level retail space that will offer boutique shopping and restaurants and is an exciting step toward Midtown Alliance’s goal of two million square feet of retail development. “This announcement is a giant leap toward our goal of bringing even more quality retail and residential opportunities to Midtown,” said Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. “Attracting developers and investors of this caliber and with this kind of commitment to urban renewal is a big win for our city.” “The Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund is about revitalizing communities by bringing quality residential and retail to areas like Midtown that are beginning to grow,” said CJUF Partner Earvin “Magic” Johnson. “Mayor Franklin’s leadership in urban redevelopment is an important factor in our interest to pursue additional opportunities in Atlanta.”

1010 Midtown’s upscale design will attract sophisticated buyers — from young professionals to empty nesters. Both will be attracted to 1010 Midtown’s luxury living in a central location. One-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans with magnificent views will feature 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, stone baths and large balconies. Residents will also enjoy resort-inspired amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, clubroom, swimming pool, and private deck-top plaza with panoramic views of the downtown skyline. The 1010 Midtown project is located on a premier site in Midtown. The shape of the site was a challenge that inspired the design team to create a unique building that relates to the curvature of Peachtree Street. The development team’s commitment and vision to raise the bar on Midtown residential and retail allowed the design team to create one of the Midtown Mile’s premier mixed-use facilities. “

The success of The Plaza Midtown made partnering with Daniel Corp. and Canyon-Johnson again a given,” said Scott Selig, vice president, Selig Enterprises. “Our teams share the same vision — creating a Midtown where residents and visitors can walk to restaurants, shops, entertainment and more.” “This is the second of what we anticipate will be many future investments for Canyon-Johnson in Atlanta,” said CJUF Managing Partner Bobby Turner. “Daniel Corporation and Selig Enterprises are proven and valuable partners who have the experience to maximize the potential Midtown offers. Midtown epitomizes the type of densely populated, ethnically diverse areas in which our fund invests.”

Monthly update on U.S. real estate trends


Existing Home Sales

Existing home sales slowed in January. According to Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, this is mainly due to the lack of urgency with the extension and expansion of the first-time buyer tax credit in November. January sales of 5.05 million remain 12 percent above the 4.53 million-unit level last year.

Median Home Price

Existing-home price was $164,700 in January, 3.4 percent below December and unchanged from January 2009. Distressed homes, which accounted for 38 percent of sales last month, continue to skew prices downward as they typically are discounted in comparison with traditional homes.

Inventory

The supply of homes continued to shrink, falling 0.5 percent to 3.27 million, representing a 7.8-month supply at the current sales pace. Compared to a year ago, there are now 10 percent fewer homes on the market. This is the lowest level of competing homes on the market since March 2006.
