Are you on board or are you smart enough to be standing on the side of the tracks.  For all the agents that are doing short sales and not getting a release of liability for the deficiency for their sellers you may be in trouble in the future.  I am amazed at how many real estate agents that are not doing this. Banks like Bank of America is not giving those deficiency release letters out.  So that means sellers can be on the hook for the difference between sales price and the amount they owe.  If your client gets a bill from their old bank for $40,000, $50,000 or $100,000 who do you think they are going to come after. I think they are going to go after the real estate agent that didn't look out for their best interests.  An agent that didn't do their job.  An agent that didn't cover all ...

I continue to be busy selling homes in the metro Detroit real estate market.  In the last week I have had for closings, and 4 new offers put in.  It is tougher to win a bid on low priced Metro Detroit foreclosures if you need a mortgage.  There are cash buyers out there.  We have lost (out bid on highest & best bids) to cash buyers even up to $100,000.  But we are winning them here or there.  It usually takes about three or four bids to win a house.  This is the usual scenario. That is simply because at first the Metro Detroit home buyer wants to put in a low ball bid on the foreclosures.    I tell them that they are going over list price and I print off the last Metro Detroit foreclosures that have sold.  But they usually don't listen.  So they lose the first one. Then we go out to loo...

Forget Arizona, Forget California....Detroit may be the least expensive place to retire.                                                           There may be a way for metro Detroiter's to provide a good home for themselves very reasonably.  If you are 50 - 55 years old it may not too late to provide for your retirement.  Here's my thoughts.  If you by a very reasonable house right now and ride out the Metro Detroit real estate marketyou should be able to do a reverse mortgage in the future.  This is my example.  Let's say you snap up a great deal that you can put some sweat equity in.  Let's say you buy a 1000 square foot home for $30,000 in one of Metro Detroit's suburbs. Then you ride out this buyer's market and your home appreciates in value.  Let's just say it only doubles in val...

Many people will dislike what I have to say about foreclosure and getting back on your feet.  But the sooner the nation gets the foreclosures over and done with, and people rebuild their credit, the sooner the nation and the real estate market get on their feet.I am going to do a four part series of ForeclosureForeclosure, should I let my house go into foreclosure?Where should I go to get help to get out of foreclosure?What is the foreclosure process in MichiganLife after foreclosure, plan for it! In many parts of the country (Metro Detroit real estate is one of them), it will take 5 -7 years to rebound from this and make take ten years or more to get back to the home sales prices we saw before.  Some cities are seeing 30 -40% drops in home sales prices from the highs years ago (Detroit...

The real estate market in the Detroit suburbs is showing no signs of turning around.  I predicted last year that we would be seeing homes selling in the $100 a square foot range.  We are seeing homes that are selling for less than that in many cities such as Westland, Dearborn, Canton, Farmington Hills, Garden City, Dearborn Heights to name a few.Many Michigan homes for saleare vacant.  The are vacant because they are Michigan bank foreclosures or the owners have relocated.  Today I was in Novi.  My clients and I looked at 3 Novi homes in the 1700 -2000 square foot range.  All of them were vacant.  All three of the Novi homes for salewere in good to excellent shape.  The were in nice Novi subdivisions and one of the was listed for less than a $100,000 a square foot.Yesterday I was looki...
