Buying A Short Sale? – Be Prepared for a Long Haul
Friday, October 30, 2009, 5:01 AM
If you’re eyeing a home that’s a potential short sale, be prepared to be in it for the long haul.  Short sales can be more time consuming than traditional sales, but if you’re in a position where you can be flexible with your close date, your patience could well be worth the wait. A short sale [...]
Home Buyer Tax Credit Extension Impact
Thursday, October 29, 2009, 12:12 AM
Another day, another tax credit extension proposal. So the latest idea still includes an $8000 tax credit to 1st time buyers and a $6500 tax credit to repeat buyers that have owned their previous home 5+ years.  While it doesn’t say it in the CNBC article, I have heard from other sources that the proposed extension would expire at the [...]
Foreclosures More Profitable Than Loan Modifications To Loan Servicers
Wednesday, October 28, 2009, 7:08 AM
The Huffington Post has a story discussing a new report by the National Consumer Law Center regarding how the compensation structure for servicers make it more financially advantageous to service the loan through foreclosure than to help prevent the foreclosure by doing a short sale or loan modification.  Sad but probably quite true. NCLC Report on Mortgage Servicers – [...]

No Houses Left for First Time Buyers
Monday, October 26, 2009, 5:26 PM
In the last few months we’ve seen a flurry of sales as first time buyers are trying to close on a home purchase before the $8000 tax credit expires on November 30th (maybe). This has largely lead to the precipitous decline of available inventory on the under $190k and brought Months supply of homes in the [...]
1st Time Buyer Tax Credit Extension – Potential Solution
Monday, October 26, 2009, 1:33 PM
CNBC just posted a story on what they think might happen to the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit: an extension through 2010 with a phased reduction of $2000 per calendar quater of 2010. While I’m not always on board with what Diana Olick has to say and I have no way to know if [...]
1000’s of Pending Home Sales may be Missing from MLS Reporting
Tuesday, October 06, 2009, 7:52 AM
The Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors has a fantastic assortment of stats that are published on weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly cycles.  These reports are based off the listing data provided by our local MLS, the Regional MLS of Minnesota. As anyone who works with data knows, the statistics you create are only as good as [...]
Making Home Affordable Program Not Working
Friday, October 02, 2009, 1:09 PM
Fellow local blogger and awesome mortgage broker Alex Stenback has a great post explaining how few people are being helped by the Marking Home Affordable program, which has only helped 93,000 borrowers so far when original estimates suggested up to 7 million could be helped. If we could do more successful loan modifications and short sales we [...]
Traditional Sellers Have Window of Opportunity
Wednesday, September 23, 2009, 9:40 PM
A while back we released the 2nd Quarter Foreclosure (REO) & Short Sales Report, which not only debuted another revision to the methodology that decreased the counts of foreclosures and short sales significantly, but also showed positive trends in this market segment.  Good signs included: New Lender Mediated listing activity has remained steady over the last 5 quarters Lender Mediated [...]
Freddie Mac Video on Preparing for a Mortgage Loan Modification
Wednesday, September 23, 2009, 9:38 AM
Freddie Mac has released a 2 minute video with suggestions on what you will need to provide for a mortgage loan modification request.  If you have everything prepared beforehand, the process will be quicker and smoother than if you do not prepare.  As mortgage modifications can take weeks or months to complete, having everything upfront helps reduce delays.   Related Posts:How [...]
A Perfect Minnesota Sunset
Tuesday, September 15, 2009, 12:18 PM
I was driving home last night and saw one of the best sunsets I’ve seen in a long time.  Luckily I had my SLR in the car and was able to stop at Medicine Lake in Plymouth and took close to 200 pictures.  Below is my favorite shot of the night.  In fact, this is [...]
A Great Perspective on New Home Construction
Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 2:51 PM
CNBC has a great article on some new housing numbers that I think sums up what we’ve been seeing in the Twin Cities lately.  I believe the views by J.P. Morgan and Raymond James are both spot-on! http://www.cnbc.com/id/32569620 It is nice to see a little renewed interest in new construction lately… I have seen several developments with [...]
CNBC Gets it Terribly Wrong
Wednesday, July 29, 2009, 10:41 AM
On Tuesday, July 28th, CNBC Host Dennis Kneale talked with CNBC’s Michelle Caruso-Cabrera and her recent experience in the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP).  See the video below: Dennis and Michelle got this story completely wrong.  This program is meant to allow homeowners who couldn’t refinance because of Loan-to-Value ratios, income, etc.  The only loans that can be [...]

Water Conservation – Cities Thinking Backwards?
Saturday, June 27, 2009, 11:10 PM
The Star Tribune had an article today discussing how the Metropolitan Council is pushing all cities to encourage water conservation.  The paper profiles Minnetonka and their efforts to curb usage by dramatically increasing water rates for excessive usage.  While an “overconsumption tax” will certainly help curb usage, there are many other ways to promote conservation: Get [...]
