    Lake and Town Realty Agents recently had many phone calls within the last couple weeks in asking what are REO's are all about? What REO properties are For Sale in Huntersville, NC.   When a property is sold through a foreclosure auction, its owner usually owes more to the lender than the market value of the property itself. This is often a barrier to selling the property, and sometimes such foreclosure auctions do not draw any bidders. As a result, not many foreclosure auctions end with the sale of the property, rather the title reverts back to the financial institution holding the lien. Properties in this category are referred to as REO (Real Estate Owned) properties. After the bank takes possession of the property, the mortgage loan disappears and the financial institution deals ... 12/09/2009

REO properties for sale in Huntersville, North Carolina. Each bank/lender works a little differently, but they all have similar goals. They want to get the best price possible and have no interest in "dumping" real estate cheaply. Generally, banks have an entire department set up to manage their REO inventory. Once you make an offer to purchase, banks generally present a "counter-offer." It may be at a higher price than you expect, but they have to demonstrate to investors, shareholders and auditors that they attempted to get the highest price possible. You should plan to counter the counter-offer. Your offer or counter-offer will probably have to be reviewed and approved by several individuals and companies. Even once an offer is accepted, the bank may insert wording like "..subject to... 12/08/2009

Townhome and Condo short sales in the Lake Norman to Uptown Charlotte area. A short sale is an "arrangement" between the current owner of a home and the bank that lent them the money to buy their home to accept an offer for less than the total amount owed to pay off the home. The "deficiency" is the difference between the amount owed and what the bank collects at the short sale.Although, the "arrangement" can take many different forms, there is no other definition of a short sale. I say this because many realtors and some investors simply throw the term around as if it meant "a sale under market value." No. A bank owned (foreclosed) house is not a short sale. A seller deciding to lower their price and take less profit is not a short sale. An old lady that owns her home free and clear, s... 12/06/2009

Short Sales in Huntersville, NC are becoming more of an option for many homeowners who would like to avoid foreclosure. Here are a couple things to remember when trying to decide whether or not this is the right decision for you: If the equity in the house is sufficiently negative, there may be an incentive for the household to engage in a short sale," says Anthony Sander, a finance professor at Arizona State University. "But the more negative the equity, the less likely the lender or servicer will be willing to agree since it increases the loss." The environment for short-sellers is better, thanks to the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act. It eliminates the tax liability for short-sellers. Before this bill, if you sold a $250,000 home for $200,000, the IRS considered the $50,000 gap ... 11/27/2009
