Hud Property Opportuities

Daniel McClure — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 17:34:00 GMT

Here's a great example of a HUD opportunity... they have it listed at $180,000, tax records value it at $250,000... HUD has it listed at 1274 square feet, but it's closer to 1826 square feet by the tax records and a previous listing. It sold in April 2008 for $360,000. Opportunity? Might be worth a closer look! Give us a call (We are HUD certified and can help with HUD bidding).

Real Estate ... Rising? Has the bottom come and gone?

Daniel McClure — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:31:00 GMT

INFO THAT HITS US WHERE WE LIVE Last Tuesday's S&P Case-Shiller home price index reported that homes in 20 major U.S. cities were WORTH MORE in February 2010 than they were in February 2009 -- the first year-to-year INCREASE in values in over three years! The good news of this 0.6% annual gain was tempered by a small monthly decline in prices from January to February. But remember, February's unusually stormy weather make it a tough month for real estate in much of the country.

Corroborating Case-Shiller, a second home price index also showed a national gain in home prices for February 2010 compared to February 2009. This was the First American CoreLogic HPI, an index including distressed sales, which reported a home price increase of 0.3% for the year.

Numbers to Consider

Daniel McClure — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 17:43:00 GMT

As of today there are a total of 19,072 Active Properties Listed for the Six Counties.

1515 of these are Bank Owned Properties.

291 Bank Owned Properties have been released for bid since Jan 01 of this year.

170 Bank Owned Properties have been reported as Pending subject to Inspection since Jan 01 2010. Of these, the original list price average was $268,762 with an adjusted list price prior to pending of $256,263 average. Average market time of 95 days and average asking price per square foot of $125.73.

From Jan 01 2010 there have been 74 Bank Owned Properties closed, Average sale price of $218,664, Average cost per square foot of $128.92, average days on market of 107. Average Sale price percentage to list price of 98.53%. ( Please note the difference of the cost per square foot of the pendings vs. closed )

What does all that mean?

The market for Bank Owned properties is extremely hot. The discounts on Bank Owned Properties are killing the regular market and will continue to do so until the inventory is depleted. The numbers indicate the tax credit is working. This is a Great Time if you can Buy and Hold for a minimum of 2 years as we liquidate these assets. All indications are we should resume to normal after that period. Not Crazy normal, just normal. It also shows that if a house is priced well it sell very fast in this market..

Current Financing 12/16/2009

Daniel McClure — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:40:00 GMT

We just completed a search for financing. BECU beat everyone by over $3,000 on a loan amount of $150,000. That is big. I will keep you posted on how well the closing is going. One of the competing lenders then said, if they would have known that, they could have beat or matched it. If they can do business profitably at that price... why aren't they?

We really need financing reform.
