With a weakening housing market and expiration of the home buyer credit, the Obama administration and Treasury have stepped up efforts to help struggling home owners facing foreclosure, including subsidies for the unemployed and borrowers who owe more than their home is worth.  The updated/revised plan would increase payments to lenders that modify second mortgages. Banks' unwillingness to write down second liens has helped block efforts to prevent foreclosures, and preventedcurrent programs from helping more home owners.   The administration proposed allowing more mortgages to be refinanced into FHA guarantee programs if the borrower is current on the loan. The lender would have to cut the amount owed by at least 10 percent to less than the value of the home. The first and second mort... 06/10/2010

Lenders will file a tidal wave of lawsuits against homeowners in the next few years as a way to counter losses when home sales or foreclosure auctions don’t result in enough money to pay the mortgages in full, according to  real estate and legal analysts. “It will be a dramatic problem because the borrowers will not know it’s coming,” said Frank Alexander, a law professor at Emory University in Atlanta.   The laws vary from state to state. For example, in Florida, banks have five years from the date of the sale to file for so-called deficiency judgments and up to 20 years to collect. Lenders can then garnish wages or make claims on borrowers’ assets.   As the next wave of the housing crisis plays out, those most in danger of getting slapped with lawsuits include angry homeowners who ra... 06/10/2010

I just had a closing two days ago with a wonderful agent! It is so much fun to know that when an offer comes from another Realtor, that Realtor is not a diva and is looking to get the job done. To the agent I just referred to......thank you, thank you, thank you! It was a pleasure to work with you. The sad thing is that when an agent does his/her job, we don't get an opportunity to talk often. But know that good and great agents without difficult personalities always hold a dear place in my heart. I show their properties when I have a buyer. On the other side of that coin, I just finished, or did I??? an offer with a double diva agent.  It really was the most awful experience. She was insulting and brash at best. What's worse is that she really made it difficult to put the deal together... 02/19/2010

The state of real estate market in Mahopac pretty much reflects the overall picture of the market in wider areas of Northern Westchester and Putnam counties. In short, the spring has already arrived to real estate market! It came earlier this year due to federal tax credits, and the fact that buyers need to be in contract by April 30th to qualify for the credits. More homes were put on the market in January than in previous months, at the same time, the pace of sales slowed down. The current absorption rate is 14 months (this is how long it would take for all currently listed houses to be sold if nothing else comes on market). This is an indication of a very strong buyers market. Below are some vital numbers for Mahopac real estate (single family houses only, Mahopac school district). M... 02/15/2010

What Is A Short Sale?   Home sellers should consider a Short Sale when the value of their home is LESS than the amount of their outstanding loans. For example, if your home is worth $250,000 but you have a loan of $300,000 then a short sale is a consideration. Obviously, if you do not have to sell your home, you could wait out the market and hope for a turnaround in real estate values. However, if you do have to sell your home you basically have three options. First, you can bring cash to the table. In the example above you would sell your home for $250,000 and pay another $50,000 to the lender out of your pocket to pay off the loan on your property. Second, you could let the home go into foreclosure. The lender will go through the foreclosure process, force you out of your home and th... 01/23/2010
