Very Well Written White Paper on Bank Short Sales and our Government

Well written white paper (25 pages easy-read) on Bank Short Sales and why they are so hard to get approved--this is why you need a RE professional with a proven track record on them!! Pitfalls abound everywhere in the process--if you are an agent and are doing only a couple per year, just send them to us for a referral fee. Only 24% of short sales will make it to the closing table. We have benn doing over 3 times that percentage for several years now.

Steve Forbes and Nouriel Roubini think that 40% of mortgages are underwater

UNDERWATER MORTGAGES??

THESE GUYS THINK SO......AND THEY ARE SMARTER THAN US!  :-)

"Well, in the case of residential real estate, I would say prices and quantities have fallen so much from the peak, that probably they are close to the bottom. But the trouble is that you have millions of houses that are deeply underwater. 12 million of them already underwater today. And about another 8 million have a mortgage with a loan to value ratio between 95 to 100%.
That means that the 5% correction in national home price--something that I expect--is going to put another 8 million houses underwater. That means 20 million out of the 50 that have a mortgage, or 40% of houses with a mortgage, are going to be underwater."

Did you miss the boat?

Have home sales hit bottom??????

Central Ohio homes sold for an average, $158,893 last year, the lowest since 2001 but only slightly behind 2009's prices.

Central Ohio figures dropped below 20,000 last year, the first time in a decade.

Central Ohio home sales fell for the fifth straight year in 2010, as potential buyers continued to sit on the sidelines.

Last year, 19,676 homes were sold in the Columbus area, 2.8 percent fewer than the previous year, according to the Columbus Board of Realtors. It was the first time in a decade that annual sales dropped below 20,000.

Here is a copy of the article from the Columbus Dispatch

http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/business/index.html

I don't think you have missed the boat, but the bottom is either here or VERY near.

THE PROBLEM WITH KNOWING WHEN THE BOTTOM OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET HITS IS THAT IT IS ALREADY ON THE WAY UP WHEN YOU REALIZE IT.

By definition, you cannot determine the bottom of the market without 6 months to a year worth of data that shows an upward trend.  By then, it is TOO LATE.  YOU MISSED IT!!

Take my advice and get in NOW!!  Rates are going up this year by a full point on top of increasing prices.  If you are going to buy anytime in the next 5-10 years, you better do it in 2011.  You have been officially warned.
