How to Deal With Low Appraisals

Multiple offers usually shoots up purchase price of real state properties in the seller’s market as compared to any sales in any area and this can make the sellers assume appraisals will start to plummet.

When you think about lush, sandy beaches and sparkling blue water of the Caribbean, the first aspect you think about is a getaway.

Pending Home Sales Plummet

It was expected: home sales would drop following the April end of the Homebuyer Tax Credit program. What wasn’t expected, and what has the industry reeling, is the depth of the drop-off. Pending home sales -meaning home sales that are under contract but are not yet closed- fell off 30% in May from its April mark. This drop, to put it in perspective, is the largest single month drop ever recorded, and to make it even more significant, was a 15.9% decrease for the same month a year earlier.

Urban Buying Is a Winning Strategy

For the past 60 years, America has moved to the suburbs. Now the rush is over. The trend is reversing toward urban living. How can investors cash in?

Before we discuss how to win, what drives the reversing trend toward urban housing? The factors influencing this change range widely. The Baby Boomer children are recoiling against commuting. 77% of Echo Boomers (children of baby boomers) desire urban living, walking communities, and easy mass transit. As a Baby Boomer, I frankly am completely in-synch with this statistic. My children and the children of every family I know have spent more hours commuting than can possibly be considered reasonable. With Echo Boomers beginning to graduate from College and beginning to drive housing demand, perhaps the hand writing was on the wall. Add to this the energy crisis, the financial crisis, and the War on Terror and perhaps you have the perfect storm against suburban housing. These two factors have made reduced imported energy dependence a must. Along with that event, the financial crisis has made frugality the rule. That rule means folks are going to be doing their level best to stay out of the car. Finally, in an aging society with slowing immigration, society demands max productivity from each person because generational growth cannot supply productive gains. If the U.S. is to continue the economic and wealth gains achieved in the past, efficiency requirements are critical.

Luxury Properties by the Sea and in the City

Words such as “outrageous” and “mad” don’t define the latest reports in the London real-estate sector. As it turns out, some extremely-rich (not sure this term is even appropriate enough) unknown buyer just treated himself to a £140m pent-house inside the heart of the British capital; London. You’ve got that right: the ridiculous price is not for a giant medieval fortress to modernise or a unique high end resort, but rather for a two-floor flat located at One Hyde Park, a location that just the incredibly loaded and famous can easily afford. Heck, it has even turned out to be even more expensive than Chelsea! And suddenly, futuristic skyscrapers, extravagant mansions and luxury Caribbean villas sound like a bargain.

Phantom of a Bubble in the Canadian Real Estate Market

If we are going to believe what some groups are saying, the recent developments in major real estate markets should be a cause for concern for those who have major stakes in the industry.

The Great American Foreclosure War

There is an invisible war in America now- not between the races, sexes, economic classes or any political parties. This bloodless conflict is the battle for the American Dream, pitting the ordinary citizen, rocked by the recession and deprived of billions in bail out money which the government which serves them has instead provided to the enemy of millions of American homeowners… the big banks. Why are they the enemy? After all, without them those citizens would not be able to buy their home and achieve that American Dream. In a sense, this is true, but once you dig deeper, you find that the foreclosure crisis has shed light on the mundane and monotonous process of mortgage financing, and revealed fraud and criminal acts at many levels. Of course, not every bank is a bad one and not all foreclosures are illegal… but recent court decisions show that the 99% of homeowners who do not challenge the foreclosure and sale of their home may now want to consider putting up a fight, even without a lawyer, to keep their single largest asset they’ll ever own. This important information could actually save your home.

Can You Reduce Cost of Living By Renting?

If you’re trying to reduce your cost of living (and who isn’t in this economy?), you might feel that Dallas is one of the most unlikely places for you to choose to live. However, this is not the case at all. Texas is surprisingly the fourth most affordable state to live, with rent at a pleasant 20% below the national average, and even though Dallas is a large and thriving city, it’s no exception to this rule. In fact, in Dallas alone, the overall cost of living is 17% below the national average, and rent is exceptionally low.
