5 steps to avoid Crooked Mortgage Brokers     With all of the recent turmoil caused by greedy banks, brokers, and investors, I thought it might benefit you to know how to avoid some of the problems that arise when dealing with these institutions. 1. Full Disclosure Any person or organization you choose to work with should be up front with what they charge to provide a service. Oftentimes with mortgages this can be complicated because there are plenty of bogus fees and ways to hide what a broker or bank is truly charging when lending money. An overview of all fees and charges should be disclosed up front and should include not only the origination fee but all the outside costs including appraisal, environmental costs, title, escrow, processing, etc. A good broker will know most of these...

The number of foreclosure postings dropped dramatically in September, but not because there are fewer homeowners in distress. Instead, the numbers are down because of a new law requiring lenders to contact homeowners and then wait 30 days before filing foreclosure notices. The goal is to encourage loan modifications that enable homeowners to stay in their home. A total of 105 San Dimas properties were in the foreclosure process on Oct. 19, 2008, according to reports compiled from county records for the First American CoreLogic database.

There were 4,775 homes for sale in the 10 cities in my service area on Sunday, Oct. 5, according to the local Multiple Listing Service. While that's a daunting number to home buyers and home sellers alike - for different reasons - it is less than 2 percent of the number of existing houses in Chino, Claremont, Fontana, La Verne, Montclair, Ontario, Pomona, Rancho Cucamonga, San Dimas and Upland. Since the source of the number of houses was the 2000 census, and most communities saw a boom in construction during the first half of the decade, the actual percentage is even lower. Fontana has seen home prices plummet since the giddy "Build, Build, Build" years shortly after 2000, when northern Fontana homes and home prices shot skyward. Based on current listings and the number of homes report...

You may have heard about the recent Buy-out/Bail-out of Fannie and Freddie Mac but I'm not sure if you know how this has affected the mortgage rates for smaller multifamily income properties (1-4 units).   Well....   I haven't seen a rate drop this dramatically since 2001 and my gut tells me it probably won't go down much farther.   For a while people who had 2-4 units were getting beaten up by the banks with large add-ons to the rate and "risk based" pricing which was a nice way of saying they didn't trust most smaller investors. This was always a turn off for investors because they could buy a 5-unit property and get a much better rate with WAY less headaches along the way. Today (and hopefully for a while longer) these properties are much more attractive and Investors aren't going to...

The number of previously owned homes on the market has dropped dramatically in the past six months in the cities of Chino, Montclair and Ontario, according to figures available from the Inland Multi-Regional Multiple Listing Service.  Chino showed the largest drop - 27 percent - in the number of homes listed for sale in the MLS, closely trailed by Ontario, with 23 percent fewer homes listed than on March 9, 2008. In Montclair, the number of previously owned homes listed for sale in the MLS was 22 percent lower on September 7 than on March 9, 2007.  Elsewhere in the region, San Dimas showed the least amount of change, with 136 previously owned homes for sale on March 9 and 135 for sale on Sept. 7. The change was also slight in Claremont, where 118 homes were for sale on March 9 and 116 o...

The market activity report below is streamlined for a quick view of home listings, sales and leases available. I hope this will be more convenient for viewers. Please let me know if you find it helpful and especially if you would like additional information. The "Prior Week" column is information for the week ending August 16, 2008.  During the past year, the number of listings in each city have declined, along with prices. The number of homes sold is increasing as home buyers take advantage of lower prices and low interest rates.  There are some signs that housing prices may be leveling off - multiple offers on bank-owned properties and renewed construction in nearly every Inland Valley city.  The figures below were compiled from information provided by the Inland Multi-Regional Multip...

It's still a Buyer's Market for Inland Empire home sales. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 signed by President Bush in late July offers encouragement to home buyers to jump into the market now, before rising interest rates rise and seller-financed down payment assistance programs end October 1, 2008. July home sales statistics are due to be released this week and will be reported on my website; you can click on http://marketreport.ilajosephs.com for a direct link. I'm also adding a new section to my weekly report this week. Look below for a comparison to home sales data for February 17, 2008, and see the changes that have taken place in the past six months. The following information was compiled from information reported in the Inland Multi-Regional Multiple Listing Service...
