So it looks like 5247 Keystone which was offered at $199,999 went pending for $525,888. ­ What the initial low price did was bring a lot of folks to the look at the property. Created a huge gathering at the auction. However the question I still have to ask is could they have achieved the same or better result by sale through a normal mls sale. They could have employed a similar strategy to bring people to the table, by setting the price below market, to bring in more buyers and let the buyers take the property to market price. We saw this strategy work very effectively during the 2003-2006 time period. Now by "below market" I don't mean a home selling for $600,000 being priced at $550,000 but rather something more like $590,000 given all other conditions similar. The price most be obvious that's it's at a discount. Ex. A home has 3 recent comparables which sold for $600,000, $595,000 and $603,000 but they all had dated kitchens and ...

Bank of America, Chase, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo have each expressed their support of the program and the changes that will allow more underwater homeowners to refinance. Government officials expect the program's revisions to expand its reach and increase competition for mortgage refinancing, with an estimated 1 million homeowners to receive assistance under the new guidelines. < http://dsnews.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59816bad6939d5a7dd87e45a5&i d=6f51cf7aab&e=ebe71b748c > > Read More - sunil < http://www.sunilsethi.com/ > SUNIL SETHI REAL ESTATE

Sent to me by CAR Newsletter_MarketMatters_Computer.JPG CNNMoney Troubled homeowners get a lifeline The government is changing its Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), making it easier for homeowners to refinance their underwater, high-interest mortgages. Making sense of the story * Although HARP has helped more than 890,000 homeowners nationwide by reducing their monthly mortgage payments, there are still millions of homeowners who are too far underwater to participate. * Under the new rules, homeowners who owe more than 125 percent of the market value of their homes will be allowed to refinance into new loans. * The program also streamlines the refinancing process for homeowners who are current on their mortgage payments and reduces or removes fees that previously hindered them from refinancing. * Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac also will reduce the fees they charged in the past to enable borrowers to better afford the new loans. Among the fees that will be reduced or eliminated ar...

Brought to you by the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®     HARP Refinance Program Expanded   Borrowers who are current on their home loans may be able to refinance for lower interest rates, even if they are seriously upside down.  The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced today that it will broaden the scope of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) by removing the current 125 percent loan-to-value cap for fixed-rate mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Other program enhancements include, among other things, reducing certain fees, eliminating the need for a new property appraisal if the FHFA has a reliable automated valuation model (AVM) estimate, and extending HARP until the end of 2013.  New federal guidelines for the HARP changes should be released to mortgage lenders and servicers by November 15.   The basic eligibility requirements for an enhanced HARP loan are as follows: Existing mortgage loan must be owned or ...

Don't assume just because one lender denies your loan, all will. Forward from CAR: After a rejection Some borrowers think that because their mortgage application is turned down the first time, they won't ever be approved. In reality, some borrowers succeed on the second or third attempt, usually with a different mortgage professional, and often several months later, after they have saved more money for a larger down payment or improved their credit score. Making sense of the story * Before reapplying for a mortgage, borrowers are advised to look at the reasons they were initially rejected. * The Equal Credit Opportunities Act requires lenders to give loan applicants specific reasons in writing within 30 days of their decision. If it's based on a problem in the borrower's credit report, the lender must tell the borrower the name and address of the credit agency that provided the information. * Talking to the loan officer who denied the application to see how close the...
