SHORT SELLERS!
What exactly is a short sale?  Simply put, it is when you sell a home for less than what is owed on it with the lender’s approval and the lender forgives you for the difference (what is short) between what is owed and what it ultimately sells for.


Why would the lender agree to do this?   Money.  It’s always about the money isn’t it?   Typically, it is cheaper for the lenders if the house is sold prior to getting into foreclosure.  There are costly expenses associated with foreclosing on a home (aside from the fact that owners who are going through foreclosure typically destroy the homes before they are evicted); but with short sales, it takes less time and makes more economic sense for lenders if the homeowners have an interest in and participate with the lenders in selling their homes, rather than fighting with them.   The lender saves money because they don’t have to pay for eviction, go through an auction only to have to take the property back because the auction did not meet their floor price, make repairs and then pay realtors to sell it as a bank owned (REO) property which typically gets deeply discounted by buyers anyway, in the meanwhile, still paying for taxes, insurance, etc......

 

 

Why would it be good for the seller?  It allows them to have control over their economic future.  Let’s face it, if you are contemplating foreclosure, that means your financial situation will not be changing for the better in the immediate future.  Don’t let others dictate your financial future; get involved and control and participate in your own outcome.

 

 

The most important facet to the short sales process is that it permits you to have control over your financial future.  If you are forced into a foreclosure situation, your credit score will be devastated as you had no participation with the lender to address the situation.  The net result will be as devastating as a bankruptcy from the Fannie Mae Underwriting Guideline point of view and you will not be able to buy a home or apply for a credit card for many years.  If and you will not be able to repair your credit to buy a car or a home for many years.  If you choose to take control and complete a lender approved short sale, you will be able to salvage your credit by more than halving the seasoning requirements (only 2 years) for Fannie Mae Underwriting Guideline for re-establishing credit and give yourself the opportunity to be in  a situation to buy a home again in a relatively short time.  Naturally, individual situations and results  will vary. 

 

 

 

We are certified short sale professionals (CDPE) and have extensive field experience successfully closing short sales, up and down Northern California.  We have helped numerous clients navigate themselves out of foreclosure and into better futures.  Don't struggle and try to "wing it" on your own; or worse, collapse under the pressures of stress and simply give up.  There is an option available to you.  Let certified professionals with experience help with your financial future.


Experience the difference – personal ties and relationships turn a property into a home. Warm, professional relationships are a hallmark of my philosophy and experience in Silicon Valley and throughout Northern California; and my clients often remark on the quality of my carefully chosen network of financial, legal, logistical and other specialists. My personal network combined with Keller Williams market tenure and brand identity gives my clients a distinct advantage when buying or selling a home.

California REALTORS® forecast slight rise in 2011 home sales
Sales of existing, single-family homes are expected to decline slightly in 2010 compared with 2009, but are forecast to rise slightly in 2011, according to the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (C.A.R.) “2011 California Housing Market Forecast.”  Meanwhile, the median price of homes in California is expected to increase both in 2010 and 2011 compared with the year prior.

 

MAKING SENSE OF THE STORY FOR CONSUMERS

    • Following near record-high levels of year-over-year sales increases, home sales are expected to decline 10 percent in 2010 compared with 2009, according to the C.A.R. forecast.  C.A.R.’s economists predict home sales will increase 2 percent in 2011 compared with 2010.

    • Home sales are expected to end the year at 492,000 units, compared with 546,500 in 2009.  C.A.R. forecasts sales will come in at 502,000 units in 2011.

    • The median sales price is forecast to increase 11.5 percent to $306,500 for 2010, and an additional 2 percent in 2011 to $312,500, C.A.R. announced.

    • According to C.A.R. Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young, the Association expects a net jobs increase of approximately 1.4 million jobs in California for 2011 and an improvement in unemployment figures, which many believe are key to the economic recovery.

    • Ms. Appleton-Young also noted that a lean supply of available homes for sale will drive up prices at the low end ($500,000 and less), but larger inventories and limited, less-attractive financing will cause continued softness at the high end of the market ($1 million and more).

A new way to cut a mortgage
Some homeowners who already have refinanced into low-interest-rate mortgages are using a little-known strategy to make their monthly payments even smaller.  Called "recasting" or "re-amortizing," the strategy allows a borrower to lower the monthly payment on an existing fixed-rate home loan for a small fee without having to apply for a new loan and without having to pay reappraisal and other fees.
