They have since been resistant and perhaps even defiant in wanting to proceed with foreclosures.  That is the concern.  Will the banks allow these additional requirements to impede their ability to get homes to market?  While they may not be pleased with the process and it will cost them more time and money, I think they will get their procedures in order and eventually we will see the market stay on its course.

That means that while we are in the holiday season and approaching a new year, the number of foreclosures will remain low, but they will pick up in the first or second quarter of next year and the inventory will continue to remain at the levels we have seen in the last 30 months.

The impact on homeowners desiring desire to short sale their homes is still unclear, but the banks have all concluded that short sales are far more favorable than Foreclosure and this legislation will certainly not change that opinion.

Fully upgraded single story home that is packed w/ granite countertops, breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, upgraded flooring throughout, surround sound, 2-tone interior paint, good-sized den, open floorplan w/ spacious living areas, designer niches, large bedrooms, great backyard w/ covered patio, refreshing pool/spa, lush lawns & much more! Offered at $174,000. Call MICHELLE MADISON at (702) 806-4178

When we receive a low offer on our listings, we will counter back to a price that we deem a good value to the buyer and reasonable to the lien holder.  We also counter out the costs that we know the lien holder will not allow and we counter with information to the buyer and buyer’s agent that enables us to know that the buyer fully understands the nature of short sales.  Sometimes the buyer decides to reject our counter.  That’s OK because it’s likely that buyer wasn’t going to be patient enough to endure the process.  We would rather leave the home on the market to attract another buyer that will endure and help us to close the escrow.  If the buyer agrees to our counter offer, then we know we have a quality buyer that will be there when we get an approval from the lien holder.

When I’m working with a buyer that chooses to make an offer on a short sale, I will pull the comparable sales to evaluate the fair market value just like the lien holder will do upon receiving the offer.  This gives my buyer the information well ahead of a counter we may get later in the process.  My buyer will be prepared for the idea that the lien holder will likely counter back at a number that is close to fair market value and my buyer is prepared to accept that counter and proceed.  If the lien holder doesn’t counter and accepts my buyer’s offer, even better!  My buyer gets the great deal!
