February 28th, 2010
I will try to dribble in some findings from my short sale continuing education course
I took last week. When you watch animal planet or a show about wildlife and they
show the mating ritual of some unfamiliar and scary looking animal, that is what a
short sale looks like. Unless the engagement is choreographed exactly right, one of
the participants calls it off and hits the road or worst case ...

After 2 days and 16 hours of class study on short sales, my
head hurts. A big pile of stuff to get through so lets go.

Villages unit 1019, an Amici model is active for sale. The
listing agent has changed the price form $233K to $231,983.
This is the sixth price change in 46 days. Eeerily reminiscent
of 3972 E. Hummingbird Ln with the 99 price changes in 2 years.
Sadly that ...

LPS Cautious of Declaring "Recovery"

The industry has its eyes peeled for any indication that we've turned the corner on the housing crisis, and for good reason - markets around the country have been battered by plummeting property values, mounting foreclosures, and neighborhoods riddled with vacant homes. Any sign of recuperation is a welcome repr ...

The bank owned Tarragona model at 3968 E. Scout Pass Rd is
now on the market for $384,900. You will recall we also have
a lender owned Tarragona at 3814 E. Patrick Ln (see below)
available for $385K so that must be what the banks figure is
fair market value.

I was in 3968 E. Scout Pass on 8.10.07 when it was priced at
$779K. My notes show a jetted master bath tub, travertin ...

Underwater Mortgages Increase to 11.3M: First American

Negative equity continues to diminish the severity of foreclosure for many homeowners. Numerous industry studies show that borrowers become more likely to defaulton their mortgage or simply walk away from the debt obligation when they owe more on the home than it is worth.

Not much happened in MLS yesterday either in sales or leases. 2 items today:

1. From John Wakes Blog "Arizonarealestatenotebook.com" comes this article:

80% of delinquent homeowners forecast to lose their homes




2. A neighbor in Aviano has waaay too much time on their hands and decided to look into the tax implications of short sales/foreclosures. As always, seek advice from legal and ta ...

I am no Hollywood director but I want to start adding video to the blog. This
is my first and will improve as more are done. The bank owned Blanca at
22811 N. 38th Way is a distinctive home and worth taking a look at. MLS says
it has multiple offers and why not when it is priced at $489,900. Enjoy.

I will be in a 2 day class this week to learn more about the latest in short
sales. Time will tell if the process is getting better. My experience has not
been a happy one with an unacceptable level of mental anguish experienced
by all involved.

Short Sales See Big Jump in Activity

Despite having a bad wrap for often being slow and problematic, sh ...

3524 E. Expedition Way is the bank owned San Felice and it took a price reduction
of $26K to $425K after 123 days on market. There is a pool in the back and a wooden
play structure. Nice backsplash in the kitchen and there is a gas stub to the
cooktop opening. The landing at the top of the stairs was enclosed so you have 3
secondary bedrooms that share 1 full bath.
