Foreclosures: In Perspective.
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

April, 2011 – Perspective always depends on your point of view.  Certainly, Arizona has been heavily impacted by foreclosures and will for some time to come.  If your perspective comes from having gone through a foreclosure, or if your perspective comes from headlines, you are more likely to have a different opinion than if you are looking at the bigger picture or drilling down with objectivity.
Recently, The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) released a study that looked at foreclosures and the “shadow inventory” by state.  The study pointed out that Arizona was one of the states that has been most impacted (percentage-wise). However, when you look at the number of foreclosures estimated to be in the “shadow inventory”, you find that our number is a lot more moderate than the headlines. Even more encouraging, the study estimates that our Month’s Supply of foreclosures in the shadow inventory is estimated to be at 9 months. That compares to 51 months in New Jersey and 29 months in Florida. Bottom line, we will be able to work through the inventory of foreclosures much faster than others and the sooner we can work through the inventory the better for everyone.

Planning Ahead! 
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

March, 2011 – Most of us plan ahead when it comes to the milestones in our life. We plan ahead for weddings, graduations and retirement.  We also plan ahead for vacations or something as simple as inviting the neighbors over for a barbeque or party.  But most of us don’t plan ahead to reach our real estate goals.  So, here’s the question. Can you see yourself wanting a different style of home within the next 3-6 years? If so, now might be the time to act!

Recently the Wall Street Journal ran an article entitled “Getting a mortgage before the door shuts. “ The article talks about loans getting more expensive because of new regulations, fees and the attempts to fix the secondary mortgage market (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). There are already new fees scheduled to go into place and the uncertainty about the National debt is fueling concerns even more.  Additionally, should the private sector take over for the government in backing the secondary mortgage market, you can bet that they will require more security for their investment and that they will weigh the risk-reward ratio much more closely.  That too means higher interest rates.

 There was another article recently on Yahoo Finance “Warren Buffett is bullish…On Housing.” In the article Warren is quoted as saying “Money will always flow towards opportunity.“ The article also says that while the real recovery might be a year or so away, Buffett doesn’t spend money unless he anticipates making money.  The point is, Warren Buffett isn’t a follower. He’s usually the leader because that’s how he makes money.  He plans ahead!

 So if prices have bottomed and interest rates are anticipated to rise, where does that leave us?  I would never react out of fear.  But educated people and smart investors are seeing the writing on the wall.  Homes and properties will never be as affordable as they are today. 

So if the answer to the question, can you see yourself wanting a different style of home in the next 3-6 years is yes, maybe we should start planning to take advantage of the market.

There are currently 1021 homes in the Tucson area that are active listings and are being marketed as “potential short sales”. As of today, 341 potential short sales are active capa and 302 are listed as active contingent. For the entire month of February 2011, only 100 potential short sales closed in Pima County. 27 of the 100 potential short sales that closed successfully were located in the northwest area of Tucson. 888 homes closed for the entire month of February in Pima county. I asked a few agent friends of mine how many short sales they thought closed per month a couple of days ago. These were friends from the brokerage I work for and from other brokerages as well. I asked 9 agents in all. The lowest number I got was 300 and the highest was 600. Wow. The true number is alot lower than what is perceived. It’s not easy getting them approved and closed. That’s why a buyer/seller should always consult with an agent that has proven experience with them!!
