Housing market has bottomed

 

Homebuilder Confidence Returns To Pre-Recession Levels

The housing economy is mending. The combination of low mortgage rates, low down payment programs, and pent-up demand for homes has buyers out shopping in droves. Demand for new home construction has climbed sharply.

Markets like Washington, D.C. suburb Loudoun County (Virginia) and Bucks County, Pennsylvania mirror other big markets -- new construction is in demand.

It's not surprisingly, therefore, that for the sixth straight month, the National Association of Homebuilders reports homebuilder confidence is on the rise. The Housing Market Index climbed four points to 29 in February; the index's highest rating since May 2007.

The Housing Market Index is now up 8 points since December, its strongest two-month run since June 2003, the month that sparked a 4-year bull market in housing, stocks and commodities.

We're at a similar inflexion point now.

 

Builders: "Foot Traffic Has Doubled Since September"

There's a lot of evidence that the housing market is mending. Existing home sales are up. More homes are under contract. Things even "feel different" -- just ask a friend who's shopped for a home this year. You'll hear stories of competing offers and "great homes" that sold in a week.

You didn't hear that stuff six months ago and it's this particular zeitgeist that the National Association of Homebuilders' Housing Market Index attempts to measure.

In its simple, 3-question survey, the NAHB ask its members about their respective businesses, and what they seeing "on the street". The NAHB then compiles those answers into a weighted survey result called the Housing Market Index.

The Housing Market Index questions are :
How are market conditions for the sale of new homes today?
How are market conditions for the sale of new homes in 6 months?
How is prospective buyer foot traffic?

In February, the nation's builders reported improvement in all three areas. Current home sales climbed 5 points from the month prior; sales expectations for the next 6 months climbed 5 points from the month prior; and buyer foot traffic moved higher again, marking 6 straight months of improvement.

There are now twice as many buyers touring models as there was in September 2011. Clearly, interest in new homes is rising.

 

Demand for Homes Rising, Inventory Shrinking

The housing market is in an interesting place. The economy is clearly heating up, led by jobs and consumer spending. Meanwhile, there's still stimulus still working its way through the market.

Home prices remain low and so do mortgage rates. Home affordability has never been better. As a result, in many U.S. housing markets, today's buyers have a ground-floor opportunity to buy a home. Lock a long-term rate on an inexpensive home -- it's the ultimate "Buy Low" scenario.

It can't last, of course. And it won't. Builders see what's coming and they're confident for 2012. To buyers it means higher prices, fewer concessions and a tight negotiation. Your best "deals" of the year may be the ones you buy now. In 60 days, it may be too late.

Short Sales Homes Scottsdale Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:
 
1.Properties tend to be in better shape, and priced like bank owned properties
(REOS).

2. Most properties have the homeowner still living in the home, so it's being
maintained.

3. Investors DO NOT like to wait 2-3 months to close so you are NOT competing with them. THIS IS THE #1 REASON MY BUYERS ARE WILLING TO LOOK AT SHORT SALE PROPERTIES!

Disadvantages:

1. Close of escrow takes A MINIMUM 2-3 months.
PATIENCE IS THE KEY!

2. Sometimes the investor will ask the seller to sign a promissory note, or add cash to close, especially if there is a 2nd note. If the seller is unwilling or unable to come up with additional cash at close the short sale is cancelled and you just waited 180 days MINIMUM for nothing.

3. You CANNOT PICK your close of escrow, so you will be in limbo till you get an approval notice from the bank. Once you get the approval notice, you have 30
days to close.

4. Your escrow money will be tied up for 180 days while you wait for the process to go through the steps. Patience is the key. If you are NOT willing to wait, please don't buy a short sale!

5. You cannot go buy another home (unless you want to lose your escrow money) for 90 days.

6. You must close 30 DAYS AFTER the approval notice is issued, not 29 and not 31 days.

7. The property may RUN OUT OF TIME for the short sale and actually go to auction while you are waiting for an approval from the bank.

8. If the homeowner still lives in the home, you may have to hire a lawyer to get them out of your home after close of escrow if they refuse to leave.

9. You cannot do an inspection till you get the approval notice, so you are waiting 90-180 days and really don't know if the property will even pass the home inspection.

10. The seller will make no repairs to the property since they are doing a short sale because they have run out of money, given up the home, and can no longer afford to live there.

With the disadvantages outweighing the advantages 5:1 Why would anyone do a short sale?

Short salesare typically done when the home is spectacular, or you are competing withinvestors and there is a very LIMITED supply of homes, there is simply nothingelse available, and you are willing to wait. It's really a gamble. It MAY turnout to be a fantastic deal, or a total waste of your time. Short sales are NOT
the place to make low ball offers, that's REOS.

Half theshort sales don't close for whatever reason so you must keep that in mind ifyou are going to write an offer on a short sale. You have a 50/50 chance of actually closing on your short sale offer.

Buyer tips for people looking at short sales

With REOS or Bank Owned Foreclosures selling like bottled water in an evacuation zone I thought I would shift my focus to short sale.
 
Here are the top 10 things buyers need to look out for when dealing with short sales.
 
1. Watch the ratio of debt to asking price. Lenders won't usually take a loss of greater than 30%
 
2. Are there two or more loans on the property or just one?
 
3. Is there a lawyer assigned to the file or is the agent trying to do the short sale themselves.
 
4. Is the property is actual "Pre-Foreclosure" with a recorded trustee sale date?
 
5. Is full disclosure made in the MLS listing? If not you are most likely dealing with an uscrupulous agent who does not want to disclose the property is a short sale till you fall in love with it.
 
6. Has the seller filed a hardship package with the lender? If there are two lenders, have the seller filed one with each lender?
 
7. How close are you to the Trustee Sale Date? 30 days is best.
 
8. Is the property occupied or vacant? If it is occupied there may be issues getting the seller out.
 
9. Is the property being maintaned properly. If the pool is turning black this is an indication the seller has given up on the property and is not interested in keeping it maintained.
 
10. Avoid asking the seller to pay ANY of you closing costs. They are doing a short sale because they are in financial trouble. They do not have the money to pay any of you closing costs, so don't ask for them.
 
 

Where are all the Bank Owned Properties?

I spent the last 3 days working with a buyer from Wisconsin looking for a decent house in the east valley.
 
We found the perfect home in Gilbert.
 
On the market for 8 days with 7 offers.
 
He has to get FHA financing (3.5% down) so the chance of him getting this house over an all cash buyer is about as good as winning the lottery.
 
All this talk about shadow inventory is just that talk.
 
Maybe the banks will release more of these deals before the weather cools down and the Canadians roll into town.
