Raleigh, NC, March 06, 2010 –(PR.com)– More home foreclosures loom on the horizon, according to REALTOR® Linda Craft of Linda Craft & Team, REALTORS®. Craft recently traveled to Austin to meet with the number one short sale expert in the country Alex Charfen, CEO and founder of the Certified Distressed Property Institute.

Charfen says the next wave of foreclosures will be the option ARMS (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) that will reset in 2010 and 2011. He indicates that one of ten homeowners is delinquent on their mortgage, indicating that when interest rates increase, more Triangle houses will be pushed into foreclosure or short sale.

Craft will be attending a three day conference called Momentum in May where representatives from Bank of America, Fannie Mae and others will prepare attendees for the next wave. To learn more about the many options available for homeowners in financial trouble visit Linda’s web site, Raleighrealestateforeclosures.com

Craft is the first in the Triangle-region to hold the designation of Certified Distressed Property Expert, from nearly two (2) million REALTORS® nationwide. Craft received this designation in early 2008 and has stayed current with advanced training every month through CDPE. The training allows her to remain on top of the changing market and requirements to successfully negotiate with mortgage companies to save her clients from foreclosures.

Alex Charfen also owns Star Power, a coaching and training company for REALTORS® from many different companies all around the US. Twelve Stars are selected based on production and business practices to become a Star each year. Linda was chosen 2/2009. At the annual conference the Stars present their best business practices in front of thousands of their peers from all over the country.

The 7 Words That Will Save America

March 2nd, 2010 by lindatan

Source: Motley Fool (Original Article)


“We expect you to repay your debts.”

Those seven words could save America. Let me tell you why.

Heads, I win …

Surely you’ve heard of the onslaught of people walking away from their homes because their property is worth less than the mortgage balance. Even borrowers who can afford their monthly mortgage payment are stopping, simply because it doesn’t benefit them anymore.

This is entirely legal in many states. After the house is forfeited, “non-recourse” laws prevent lenders from going after these borrowers’ assets or garnishing wages in an attempt to be made whole. It’s a one-way ticket: If the housing market works in your favor, enjoy the ride. If it doesn’t, that’s the lenders’ problem. Better luck next time.

Individual homeowners aren’t the only ones walking out. In December, Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) abandoned ship on five San Francisco office buildings, turning the properties over to its lender. A Morgan Stanley spokesman got right to the point, saying, “This isn’t a default or foreclosure situation. We are going to give them the properties to get out of the loan obligation.” Not a bad deal — for Morgan Stanley.

I support these walkers wholeheartedly. Why? Because they’re following the law, and laws that help you shouldn’t be ignored, even if you think they’re outrageous. When someone offers you money, take it. And when the law allows you to walk away from a debt, do it. That’s rational behavior.

But it’s interesting to ask what the economy would look like if this weren’t the law. For one thing, other debts like credit cards and student loans have at least some recourse. As anyone on the naughty list at Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Citigroup (NYSE: C), or American Express (NYSE: AXP) can attest, banks will shake you upside down for every penny you’re worth if you default on these debts.

Second, non-recourse mortgages are unique to the U.S. Most cheap flights Longreach to Melbourne (Tullamarine) industrialized nations have laws allowing lenders to …continue reading

How to Short Housing’s Non-Recovery

February 15th, 2010 by lindatan

Source: Seeking Alpha (blog) (Original Article)

I have been writing about the bubble and mess in housing since February of 2007 and continue to be amazed at the willful denial about the depth and length of the problem by Wall Street. Two reports hitting the Street this week may finally push some of the bulls into rationality. John Burns Real Estate Consulting and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services are both telling the world loan modifications don’t work and the foreclosure rate is going to be very high for a long time. If I felt like regressing I would just say "duh."

John Burns believes roughly five million homeowners – houses and condos – already delinquent in their mortgages are ultimately headed for foreclosure. Other analysts, notably Laurie Goodman of Amherst Securities (a little less well known but whom I respect), have created a different number — closer to seven million — once you put some more data into play.

The first impact of these foreclosures is on prices. For almost a year, jawboning, state moratoriums and programs have slowed many foreclosures that can no longer be avoided. John Burns, who runs the firm named after him, believes if the country does not see a recovery and interest rates rise, "that’s going to cause prices to fall further." Sorry, John, we are already about to begin a double dip in the real world and interest rates are going to rise a bit this year and a bit more next as the Fed pulls back from the RMBS market. Again, I turn to Laurie Goodman who sees another drop in home prices coming.

S&P says in its report an "overhang" of foreclosed homes will lead to lower home prices. It, too, sees owners currently in default as headed towards foreclosure – 70% of them.

Maybe the Street will begin to listen due to the data and reputation of Burns and S&P. Maybe the logic of the real world, of Main Street, will finally break through. The logic flow is simple and irresistible and has been in flights from Brisbane to Tamworth front of the Street for a long …continue reading

GTA REALTORS® Report January Resale Housing Market Figures

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Feb. 3, 2010) – Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,986 transactions through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) in January 2010. This result represented a large increase over the 2,670 sales in January 2009 when the home sales were in a recessionary trough. Last month’s sales were slightly higher than the January average in the five years preceding 2009.

“The GTA housing market has rebounded well from the lows in sales experienced at the beginning of 2009. Sales climbed back to healthy levels across the GTA because the cost of home ownership remained affordable in the Toronto area,” said TREB President Tom Lebour. “Increasingly confident consumers moved to take advantage of affordable home ownership.”

The average home selling price in January 2010 climbed 19 per cent to $409,058, compared to 343,632 in the same month last year.

“Expect strong annual growth rates for existing home sales and average price through the first quarter as we continue to make comparisons to the weak market conditions at the beginning of 2009,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “The rate of sales and price growth will be lower in the second half of 2010.”
