Regular Properties for Sale
Most sellers today are frustrated and
finding themselves competing with REO and
short sale properties. So if they need to
sell their home, what can they do to sell
their homes at the highest price possible?
Knowing what the buyers are facing in
today’s market, knowing the current market
condition, and months-of-inventory would
definitely help!
A
regular sale transaction is always more
desirable to buyers. Since buyers always
receive full disclosures from the
sellers, it allows them the opportunity
to know the condition, the history, of
the home better. For some buyers, this
is always a very important part in their
decision making process.
Lender’s
guideline requirements often limit
average buyers from completing the
purchase of REO and short sale
properties due to their
poor/non-habitable condition. With fewer
choices, buyers will look for a regular
sale.
Most
average buys do not have excess cash in
addition to the minimum required 20%
down payment and closing cost, or for
major repair projects. Therefore, it is
more advantage for them to purchase a
“ready-to-move-in” property.
A lot of
buyers are in fact just as frustrated in
dealing with short sale and REO
properties, since there are too many
unknowns, uncertainties involved.
Sellers
- If you are planning to sell your home,
it’s important to know your local market
trends, the neighborhood activities and the
conditions of the homes for sale, pending
and sold. Preparation is still the key in
getting your home sold quickly and at the
highest possible price. Active buyers and
your Realtor will most likely know more
about the homes for sale nearby better than
you. Consult with your Realtor to provide
you with current market trends to help you
better prepare your home for the market.
Remember you are looking for the buyers who
appreciate your home and everything that
they know about your home.
Short Sale Properties
What is a short sale? A short sale is a sale
transaction in which the seller’s mortgage
lender agrees to accept a payoff of less
than the balance due on the loan. It is of
course easier said than done. Most short
sales involve a lengthy process of
negotiation and a lot of patience.
Why would a lender agree to a short sale?
Lenders are in the business of selling
mortgage loans, not taking property back
through foreclosure and reselling them.
Lender wants to avoid:
Adding a
bad loan and REO to their portfolio
Paying
property taxes, insurance, maintenance,
repairs for REO properties
Risking
theft and vandalism to the property,
either by the borrower prior vacating
the premise and others.
Wasting
time and money evicting borrowers and
reselling properties
Why do sellers want to short sale?
In general,
sellers who are unable to make loan payment
as the result of increases in their
adjustable interest rate, or other economics
reasons, want to sell their homes to avoid
foreclosures, or personal bankruptcy. The
impact to their credit score is usually less
going through a short sale than a
foreclosure action. They can potentially
purchase a home again in a few years,
without a bankruptcy on their Credit Report.
Short Sale
Sellers - As you are going through the
process of short selling your home, it is
important to understand the impact that a
short sale has on your financial status. A
Realtor with track records in negotiating
with the lender is critical to the success
of the transaction. A qualified Realtor can
definitely reduce the stress involved in
short sale process. There are tax
consequences that you should be aware of.
Consult your tax advisor for more info. You
are required to provide disclosures to your
best knowledge, as if it is a regular sale
process.
Buying Short
Sale Properties - It has been known that
short sale transactions usually take a long
time to complete due to lender’s approval
process. This timeline has improved
significantly in recent months. Once a
seller has accepted an offer, the
negotiation process with the lender begins.
The approval process is now averaging
between 30-60 days compared to 90-180 days
previously. Buyers often run out of patience
and miss out on a great purchase.
Every transaction is different, and each
lender will have its own guideline and
timeline. So when you work with a team of
Realtors/negotiators with solid
understanding of the process, your chance of
success is greater.
