href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1535937/program-will-pay-homeowners-who-sell-at-a-loss">Kim Southern - Blue Ridge Real Estate (Century 21 Professional Realty

alt="Short Sale" style="float: left;" width="124" />The Obama administration has announced a new short-sale program aimed at alleviating some of the roadblocks that now impede the process, which will hopefully inject some life into the nation's ailing real estate market.   <br /><br />According to a New York Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/08/business/08short.html?em" title="Short Sale Program" target="_self">article</a>, the program -- that will take effect on April 5 -- will help some of the five million households who are currently behind on their mortgages by compelling lenders to accept a short-sale arrangement in lieu of foreclosure. A short-sale can occur when a lender agrees to take less for a property than the amount owed on the mortgage, thereby avoiding foreclosure.<br /><br />The program will not help everyone; those who have a second or third mortgage on their properties may have the subordinate lenders block the sale. </span></big><big><span style="font-family: Georgia;">But for those with only one loan, </span></big><big><span style="font-family: Georgia;">they will be able to get out from under a crushing burden with less of a negative impact on their credit rating, plus they will receive $1,500 in relocation assistance. <br /><br />This is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. </span></big><big><span style="font-family: Georgia;">The homeowner must be able to document that they are under extreme hardship and have exhausted all their  resources in an effort to stay in the home. <br /><br />Our local housing market here in the North Georgia mountains has been as hard hit as most other areas of the country. The confusion surrounding short sales has only exacerbated the problem. If this new short-sale program works as promised -- and that is a big if -- this should help clear the way for renewed vigor in our housing market. </span></big><big></big></p></blockquote></div><div class='agent_signature'><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <p><strong>About The Author </strong></p> <p><em><strong>Barbara Martino-Sliva</strong>, <strong>Realtor®</strong> at <strong>TREASURE COAST/SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY, VERO BEACH FLORIDA</strong> is the author of this blog and several other sites on the Internet. She has also been a guest speaker on an on-line radio program dealing with <strong>Florida and Vero Beach Real Estate </strong>and a columnist for the digital magazine <a href="http://www.FLORIDAYLIFESTYLEONLINE.COM">www.FLORIDAYLIFESTYLEONLINE.COM</a>. <strong>Barbara</strong> is your <strong>Real Estate Connection</strong> in the <strong>Vero Beach</strong> area, and is always available to help you with your <strong>Real Estate</strong> needs. If you have decided that quality of life in <strong>VERO BEACH </strong> is worth seeing, call her anytime at 772-321-4484 or to search for homes visit: <a title="http://www.veropremierproperties.com/" href="http://www.veropremierproperties.com/"><strong>www.VeroPremierProperties.com</strong></a> and her <strong>Vero Beach Blog</strong>: <a title="http://www.verobeachrealestatevoice.com/" href="http://www.verobeachrealestatevoice.com/"><strong>www.VeroBeachRealEstateVoice.com</strong></a><strong>.</strong></em></p> </span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;">        <strong> "</strong></span><a href="http://www.VeroPremierProperties.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>YOUR VERO BEACH REAL ESTATE CONNECTION</strong></span></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>"</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;">                               <a href="mailto:BARBARA@martino-sliva.com" target="_blank"> Contact me now</a></span></p> <p>                                             <img title="Vero Beach Real Estate, Barbara Martino-Sliva" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/6/3/4/6/ar12508059164364.jpg" alt="Vero Beach Real Estate, Barbara Martino-Sliva" width="99" height="132" /><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/9/8/2/0/ar126323223402898.gif" alt="" width="129" height="111" /></p> <p>           <span style="font-size: small;">  <strong>       </strong></span><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;

href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1297259/buyer-tips-12-mistakes-buyers-make">Frank & Sharon Alters, CDPE-Short Sales Jacksonville-Orange Park-Fleming Island (Watson Realty )</a></b>:<br/><blockquote><p>If you are considering buying a new home, these <strong>12 Home Buyer Tips</strong> will help you avoid making mistakes. Owning your own home is the single largest investment most people make, so it pays to do your homework and avoid these pitfalls. Incorporate these buyer tips into your next home purchase:</p> <p><img title="Buyers need a team of professionals" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/3/3/4/8/ar126784741184334.jpg" height="225" alt="Buyers need a team of professionals" style="margin: 20px; float: left;" width="300" />1. <strong>Thinking you can do it yourself.</strong> Successful business people always form a team around them. You need a team of professionals around you, from your Realtor®, your Loan Officer, your Building Inspector, and so forth. It's great to research your own information, but then vet it with professionals who are in the trenches daily and can keep you informed as to market trends and what is really the right purchase price and location for you. Be sure you select an agent whom you feel comfortable with and trust.</p> <p>2. <strong>Selecting your Loan Officer because they quote the cheapest interest rate.</strong> When comparing lenders and their closing costs, be sure you are looking at Good Faith Estimates that compare 'apples to apples' - in other words, the same closing costs. Some lenders will quote a low interest rate but have very high lender fees, so the lender with the higher interest rate might actually be cheaper. Be sure you pay attention to the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) which will disclose the true cost of the loan. It is risky to try a lender that doesn't have a track record with anyone you know.</p> <p>There are some unscrupulous lenders (some on the internet) who promise very low rates, than switch them just prior to closing, saying "that program is no longer available." It is wise to choose a lender who has a good reputation for honesty and integrity and who can actually <strong>fund</strong> the loan, not just quote a rate.</p> <p>3. <strong>Believing there is only one perfect house out there.</strong> This is where the 80/20 rule comes in. If you can find a house that has 80% of what you are looking for, buy it! Only if you build a house and money is no object, will you ever find 100% of what you want. Consider what you need in a house and demand that. Structural options are more important than cosmetic. Location trumps everything. You can always add wood flooring later, but that third bathroom will be hard to install.</p> <p>4. <strong>Making an offer on a home without being pre-qualified.</strong> Does anybody do this anymore? This seems self-explanatory - if you don't know how much house you can afford, then you're not ready to make an offer.</p> <p>5. <strong>Not having a home inspection and wood destroying organism inspection.</strong> This is the best money you will spend in the whole transaction. Selecting the most thorough inspectors can save you money down the road. Sellers usually pay for repairs when you are buying a <img title="Home Inspectors are very important" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/0/6/6/0/ar126784799406609.JPG" height="225" alt="Home Inspectors are very important" style="margin: 20px; float: right;" width="300" />home, but later it will be your expense. If there are extra inspections you can do, take advantage of this time to find out everything you can about the house.</p> <p>Can you see yourself up on this roof and do you even know what he is doing?</p> <p>6. <strong>Not buying a home warranty insurance plan. </strong>The Sellers usually pay for this. We have always gotten our money's worth on every one we have bought. This is prudent for Buyers, especially first time homebuyers.</p> <p>7. <strong>Not considering long term needs.</strong> Is the home large enough for an expanding family? Will it be too large in a couple of years? Does the location work for school for the children for the long term? Will the commute distance work if you change jobs? Will the house be relatively easy to sell? (provided it is well maintained) Buying the smaller house in a better neighborhood will be better in the long run than the same house in a smaller home neighborhood just because it has upgrades.</p> <p>8. <strong>Making any change in your financial situation - job, purchases, credit, etc. </strong>Do not change jobs. Do not resign from your job. Do not make any large purchases. Do not open any credit cards. Check with your loan officer for other glitches that could cause your loan to be denied. Just don't make any changes and don't buy anything except groceries and other normal purchases. DO <strong>NOT</strong> DO ANYTHING THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR DEBT-TO-INCOME RATIO.</p> <p>9. <strong>Not knowing the total costs involved in buying a home. </strong>If you've been an apartment dweller, consider the cost of keeping up with a lawn (buying a mower or hiring a yard service), utility costs, property taxes and other taxes, and possible upcoming maintenance. It's no fun to buy a home and be 'house poor' where you can't enjoy life because the house is eating up every extra dollar you have. Also, homeowners insurance costs and coverage are important to know. Make sure you have proper coverage, not just the cheapest insurance.</p> <p><img title="Put the pieces of the puzzle together for a successful transaction" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/0/3/7/5/ar126784820557306.jpg" height="299" alt="Put the pieces of the puzzle together for a successful transaction" style="margin: 20px; float: left;" width="300" />10. <strong>Limiting your search to the internet, magazine and newspaper ads, or open houses.</strong> This goes back to #1 where a strong professional comes in. Take advantage of your real estate agent who can find homes that you may not have considered. Realize that often people buy houses that are not at all what their original search criteria was.</p> <p>11. <strong>Not following through on due diligence. </strong>When there are questions, it is up to the buyer and their agent to follow through. It is important to know where roads are going through, what really is behind that conservation and is that really conservation or could houses be built behind it? Are there zoning issues that need to be addressed?</p> <p>12. <strong>Renting when buying a home is more affordable.</strong> Do the math. For many people, they actually come out ahead buying a home. Consider the tax advantages of homeownership, as well as the satisfaction that having your own place brings. Our son's kindergarten teacher (husband was college professor) owned a beach home, as well as their home in town. When we visited, she confided that when they were in graduate school, they were the only ones who owned a home and that if they hadn't owned a home then, they would not be able to afford the beach home they owned today.</p> <p>So do your homework, find your area of town, and focus in on what criteria are most important. Find a Realtor(r) whom you feel comfortable with and a Loan Office whom you trust, and get ready for the excitement of your new home!</p> <p>13. <strong>BAKER'S DOZEN! Location, Location, Location.</strong> Do not buy a home without giving serious thought to the location. It's one of the oldest and truest sayings in real estate. Why is it so important? In today's market, location can make the difference between a home selling or not. Homes on crummy lots sit and sit. The only way they will sell is to practically give them away.

THE TRUTH . .  . .  FOLLOW THE THEORY OF DISAMBIGUATION and everything becomes very clear.</strong></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong>QUESTION:  Why aren't consumers out in droves taking advantage of:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>The lowest home prices since about 2003 (probably rising in some areas).</strong></li> <li><strong></strong></li> <li><strong>The lowest interest rates since about 1975 (probably not going to last much longer).</strong></li> <li><strong></strong></li> <li><strong>Inventory of homes for sale provides many from which to select (moving fast in some areas).</strong></li> <li><strong></strong></li> <li><strong>Tax Credits available ($8,000 and $6,500) for home buyers who buy soon (ends soon).</strong></li> <li><strong></strong></li> <li><strong>Experienced Buyers' Agents ready to help (ready to tour homes for sale).</strong></li> </ul> <p><img title="Interest rate graph"

FENCE".</strong></strong></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong>WHY ARE QUALIFIED HOME BUYERS NOT BUYING??</strong>  <strong>Consider this unambiguous theory:</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">THEY LISTEN TO THE NEWS!!</span>  </strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>*  The news about the real estate market is primarily about foreclosures.</strong></li> <li><strong>*  The news about the economy is almost all negative.</strong></li> <li><strong>*  The unemployment rate make private sector employees feel insecure.</strong></li> <li><strong>*  Their friends and family home owners owe more for their home than the present value.</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">REAL ESTATE AGENTS KNOW that:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>*  The media thrives on bad news.</strong></li> <li><strong>*  Folks need shelter/homes in every economy.</strong></li> <li><strong>*  90% of Americans are employed.</strong></li> <li><strong>*  The mortgage interest deduction is a hedge against loss of equity.</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WE REAL ESTATE AGENTS ALSO KNOW THAT:</span>  </strong></p> <p><strong>American home owners will do what they need to do to provide comfortable shelter for themselves and their family.  </strong></p> <p><strong>Home owners seek homes in areas that provide them with schools of choice, entertainment choices, transportation alternatives, styles and types of homes that suit their lifestyle and family needs</strong></p> <p><strong>Americans will always seek home ownership as a reflection of our independence and self expression.</strong></p> <p><strong>                                   </strong><img title="Happy Home

time for the April 30, 2010 stimulus deadline! <p></p><div id="reblogging_tag">Via <b><a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1510976/tips-and-tricks-for-first-time-home-buyers-just-in-time-for-the-april-30-2010-stimulus-deadline-">Lori Cain - Midtown Tulsa Real Estate (Chinowth & Cohen Realtors)</a></b>:<br/><blockquote><p><strong>Tips and Tricks for First-Time Home Buyers - just in time for the April 30, 2010 stimulus deadline! </strong></p> <p>Because I am working with so many <strong>first-time home buyers</strong> at the moment, I thought I would write one general outline for all to follow.<img title="First Time Home Buyers' Checklist" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/8/4/5/5/ar126697833055486.jpg" height="194" alt="First Time Home Buyers' Checklist" style="margin: 11px; float: right;" width="200" /></p> <p><strong>Your first step as a first-time home buyer is to speak to a Lender</strong> to determine what type of financing you should use, how much money you will need for a down-payment and how much you can spend on a home. Which type of financing you choose as a first-time home buyer will depend on your credit score, how much down-payment you can afford, etc. I am not a Lender and will not advise in this area, but I do list several excellent Lenders from which to choose on <a href="http://loricain.com/resources/preferred-vendor-list/" title="Lori Cain's Preferred Vendor list" target="_blank">my Preferred Vendor list</a>. My favorite Lender is Julian James-Thomas, of <a href="http://www.1stcapitalok.com " title="1st Capital Mortgage, Tulsa Oklahoma" target="_blank">1st Capital Mortgage</a>, by the way, 918-274-1519.</p> <p>Once you know the amount you can comfortably afford, <strong>search for a Realtor to represent you</strong> in your first-time home buyer home purchase transaction. DO NOT search the internet and call the Realtor who has the property listed. You will want to work with ONE Realtor who clearly understands your goals and objectives and who will represent only your interests. If you call the Realtor who has the property listed, he/she will represent both you AND the Seller. While this can be done ethically, don’t you think you’d be better off with your <a href="http://loricain.com/resources/for-buyers/buyer-representation/" title="First-Time Home Buyer Realtor Representation" target="_blank">personal and exclusive representation</a>? Remember that the Seller pays the Buyer’s Agent’s commission, so this representation IS FREE to you.</p> <p><strong>Ask friends for referrals, interview Realtors and ask for references</strong>. I pride myself on my negotiating skills, but don’t take my word for it - ask for contact information of my previous clients and read <a href="http://loricain.com/about-2/testimonials/ " title="Testimonials from previous clients!" target="_blank">my testimonials</a>! Do find a full-time Realtor and don't be guilted into using your cousin who sells real estate part-time.</p> <p><img title="Negotiating your first-time home buyer contract" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/4/0/1/0/ar126697843101046.jpg" height="205" alt="Negotiating your first-time home buyer contract" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 11px; float: right;" width="280" /></p> <p><strong>Start shopping online</strong>. Your Realtor can <a href="http://loricaintulsarealestate.com/channels/home_buying/topics/how_best_to_search_for_homes_for_sale_in_tulsa_get_truly_customized_home_search_results_delivered" title="Customized home search sent straight to your e-mail box!" target="_blank">set up a customized search for you</a> that is much more fine-tuned than the searches you can do on the internet. If you want a specific lot size, inside laundry, master bedroom on the first level - we can search for all this! Do a little shopping from home and narrow down your possibilities before you get in the car to actually visit homes.</p> <p><strong>Tips and Tricks for First-Time Home Buyers - just in time for the April 30, 2010 stimulus deadline!</strong></p> <p><strong>Start shopping in person</strong>. Take your camera and a note pad. Ask questions. Is this home priced reasonably? How long has it been on the market? What is the age and number of layers of the roof? Have any major components been updated (heat, air, electric, plumbing, hot water heater) - these can be costly repairs down the road, so <a href="http://loricaintulsarealestate.com/channels/home_buying/topics/home_buyers_dont_fall_in_love_with_a_house_and_ignore_the_old_roof" title="Don't fall in love with your first home and ignore the old roof!" target="_blank">don’t fall in love with a house and ignore the sagging roof</a>!</p> <p><strong>Fall in love with your future home and write an offer.</strong></p> <p><strong>Follow your Realtor’s advice</strong> as to how much to offer, how much <a href="http://loricaintulsarealestate.com/channels/home_buying/topics/earnest_money_how_much_and_when_is_it_cashed" title="Earnest money - its purpose and how much is needed" target="_blank">earnest money</a> to put down, what to ask for in repairs and Seller’s concessions. I’ll write a bit more about this tomorrow.

What an effect ! The same mirror installed<strong> flat on the wall</strong> and especialy at this hight would give the room no benefit (unfortunately this case is very prominent).But if we were to <strong>tilt it down, </strong>we would see reflection of the room.
