"Buyer Ready" Home Shoppers Have Edge as Brokers Report Rise in Multiple Offers

KIRKLAND, Wash. (April 5, 2012) – The housing market in the Puget Sound region is pointing toward a sustainable recovery, according to several brokers who commented on the March activity report from Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

MLS Members reported 9,126 pending sales during March, a year-over-year increase of nearly 21 percent. That total surpassed the previous month by 1,503 transactions (up 19.7 percent). Coupled with shrinking inventory, attractive financing, and rising consumer confidence, the market is becoming more balanced, and even being described by some brokers as "frenzied." Other brokers commented on the "remarkable opportunities for…

Homes have been selling at the best pace in almost 5 years! Just in the past two weeks we have had four homes sell in only 1 day on market, others in less than a week, and even had one property recieve 13 offers in one weekend..... But these good times for sellers may be short lived....

Experts Warn: It’s Coming ... The signs of the next tide are already taking shape as banks set out to quicken the pace of reviewing backlogs of defaulting loans: Foreclosure starts soared 28 percent in January, according to Lender Processing Services’ report last month. RealtyTrac reported that while overall foreclosures saw a slight drop nationwide in February from January, 21 cities saw large spikes, such as Tampa (increasing 64 percent), Chicago (43 percent) and Miami…

It's not easy being a home seller in this market. It's even harder for first-time sellers.

Selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions most people ever do in their lives. And the current real estate market, still plagued with a record number of foreclosures and short sales, can be a challenge for anyone.

"This is a unique market," says Walter Molony, senior public affairs specialist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR). "The real estate market is cyclical in nature, but we've never had an amplification like we've seen in this market. The boom and bust cycle is taking much longer to recover from, although we're beyond the midway point in the recovery."

To give you an advantage when working out a loan
modification with a lender, I am going to share the lenders wish list of borrower concessions they seek.
Understanding what a lender wants in a loan modification
will help you better prepare and have more success
working out a loan modification.

Before a lender agrees to modify a loan agreement,
they will want as many concessions from the borrower
at they can reasonably get. These concessions are
negotiable based on each unique situation. Following
is a standard list of borrower concessions:

Lender Wish List of Borrower Concessions

  • Additional collateral
  • Personal Guaranties
  • Principal reduction
  • Cash infusion to cover operating cash shortfalls
  • Capital reserve account
  • Escrow taxes and…

This guest blog is courtesy of Laura Flodin.  She is a friend, past neighbor and Snoqualmie real estate agent with The Cascade Team.  There is finally some good news to report about the local real estate market.  Read on…

Things are looking brighter in the Snoqualmie Real Estate Market. Over the past month or so, market activity is higher and more positive than it has been in several years.  It is a combination of limited inventory, a good pool of buyers with a restored faith in the market and, of course, low interest rates.

Two weeks ago my neighbors sold…

As of Monday April 2nd, 2012, the median price for a single family residential Carlsbad home has increased dramatically to $678,490 with an average of 137 days on market, up 6 days from last weeks report.  Days on market have held fairly steady over the last few weeks, however only 34% of all listed properties who had a price decrease in the last seven days, while 5% of the homes had price increases.  Inventory levels have been relatively consistent given the current sell through rate, and overall days on market are trending downward.  Recently, the seven day moving price average recently made a strong move up away from the 90 day moving average, which would suggest that price stabilization is starting and short term prices are on the rise in the Carlsbad…
