sales (103)

Heard this morning from a very reliable source that REO assignments are going to double for the 2nd quarter (Apr/May) of the year. Also, we should be seeing even more investment, foreign and domestic, in tangible assets such as real estate due to the oversupply of money and lack of confidence in financial markets. Would not be surprised if we see a shortage of inventory towards the end of the year. Especially since the latest policy of rental leases in lieu of foreclosure, recent short sale appeal and more foreign and local real estate investment due to oversupply of money.

In 2005 I told all my Investors to stop buying Oceanfront. I've always been able to see patterns in numbers. I didn't like what I saw, so I blew the whistle. I moved my investors on to other products like single family homes in the path of growth. We did well. The Clients who listened and sold, fared quite nicely. The ones who didn't, now wish they had...I am now blowing another whistle: the BUY whistle. With prices at an all time low and inventory still ample, now is the time to start delving in. There are lots of things to consider and a careful analysis is mandatory. If you perform your due diligence and work with a top notch Oceanfront Buyer's Agent, you should do extremely well.God does not create any more Beach... Today we just had another 260 foreclosure properties being auctioned off at the Courthouse. Those properties will soon be available as Bank Owned super deals... The interest rates are still at an all time low... The gloom and doom is depressing most consumers and clipping the wings off the novice Investors... To make money you always move against the grain...I just pulled numbers on Oceanfront Condos in North Myrtle Beach. What I found made my hair stand up: 24% of the North Myrtle Beach Oceanfront condos are now "Pending Sale". 24%!!! Twenty-Four Percent!!! Compare that with the typical 2.5% activity per month and you start seeing what I'm seeing: 10 times the activity almost overnight! That's BIG! That's REALLY BIG!!!You heard it here first!(Why are you still here? Get on the phone with your Mortgage Broker!)Mirela Monte, Your Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Guru Proud Optimist!

Okay, gang here's what's comming down the Pike!! When this program hits the streets short sales will truly be SHORT SALES.Anyway, myself and 4 of my agents were blessed with being selected and trained during the 5-Star Conference via Webinare, to be on the 4 front of this new program that will be comming to a city near you soon. When you see the words Home Telo's approved Short Sale , these properties will close in 30 days or less. Thats right lender approved short sales!! What a concept. Not all homes will qualify for the program and there will be a screening process. To some this up in a NUT shell this is how the program will work.A BPO is completed on the property within 72 hours of completing our BPO the lender will have had a 3 rd party apprasial or BPO conducted and sets a price at current market value they are willing to except for the home. The property will then be placed on the maket local MLS and www.bidselect.com where it can be bid on. Highest bidder assuming lenders price is met, will go into contract to close within 30 days.During the marketing time the home-owner has to maintain the home, remains in the home and is resposible for keeping it up for showing. The investors/lenders etc have finally figured it out!!!. It's cheaper for them in the long run to keep people in homes, maintaining them rather than them being vacant, and getting everything of value (A/C Units, Copper, Appliacnes, Light Fixtures etc) stolen.This should bring about some stability to the market and great opportunities for first time buyers that are overwhelmed when they step foot in some of the REO homes out there. They will have to be left for the investors to pick up at rock bottom prices,because they will be the only ones buying them when these short sales hit the market. This should be a WIN WIN for everyone.So Buyers Agents, When you see HOME TELO's you better act fast, because once this gets out , there will be 10-15 offers on each property, just like the turnkey REO's. That's my tip for the month...1 of 500 out of 135,000. If you were invited to the Round Up during the 5-Star Conference then you know what this means. For those of you that don't and would like to know shoot me an email if you can't figure it out..(Staci it was nice to see you at the Round Up!)
