Existing Homes For Sale – A New Record Set

Are you a first time buyer with a tax credit? Then you will want to know the sales, existing homes recorded this year. In 2009, all first time buyers where driven by their tax credit to buy homes at affordable prices. The sale of existing homes showed a bigger gain in October with a steady increase over the previous months. But the performance of inventories for new constructions continued to minimize.

The sales of existing homes included single homes, condominiums and townhomes. These sales were recorded at 10.1% showing 6.1 million units in October as against 5.54 million units in September. This new score in October 2009 is said to be 23.5 percent above the 4.94 million units recorded in October 2008. Many buyers were seen rushing to get hold of good homes before the first time buyer’s tax credit deadline would terminate. When the tax credit expired by the end of October, robust sales was also seen in November. But the dawn of December saw a decline in the sales.

But now, the tax credit has been extended till April 30th 2010. A large demand for existing homes prevails among the first time buyers. This can be easily tapped before the tax credit period ends. The extension of tax credit limit for first time buyers has created unusual conditions like getting multiple bids on lower price ranges and quickened sale of foreclosed property. This is also a busy time for realtors to negotiate satisfactory deals. First time buyers are feeling the need for good realtors to get them the best home affordable by them. The thirst for existing homes among first time buyers has recorded a steady decline in the sale of housing inventory.
The median price for all home types in October 2009 was $173,100. This was 7.1% less than the median prices of October 2008. It is expected that the prices of existing homes for sale should stabilize by the second half of 2010. If that happens, the home sales will remain at healthy levels, normal to the economy and there will be no more price overcorrection worries among the buyers. This decrease of the home prices are going to create extremely favorable conditions for affording homes. These factors are applicable to all types of homes including single homes, condominium and all other existing homes.

The NAR chief was found saying that home loan interest rates were lowest in the month of October. But the fixed rate loans fell to 4.95 percent in October from 5.06 percent in September.
With tax credit extended to 2010 and affordable homes for sale, there is no reason to wait longer to buy your dream home. This is the right time to invest in property and make the most of the current economic conditions. To help you make wise decision, hiring an experienced realtor will get the best negotiable deals in your hand.

Million-dollar home sales fall in Sacramento region, state

Sales of homes costing $1 million or more fell sharply across the capital region and throughout California last year as buyers remained wary, large mortgages were hard to get and more homes slipped below the benchmark value, researcher MDA Dataquick reported Thursday.

The La Jolla firm counted 291 sales of homes priced above $1 million in 2009 in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yolo and Nevada counties. A year earlier, the tally was 502 in the eight-county region. The capital region accounted for 1.6 percent of high-end sales in a state where coastal regions rule the luxury market sector.

DataQuick counted 18,621 California sales with price tags of $1 million or more. It was a fourth straight year of decline in the state after luxury sales crested at 54,773 in 2005.

Nearly 80 percent of last year’s million-dollar and higher sales in the capital area were in Placer, El Dorado and Nevada counties, according to DataQuick statistics. All are home to high-end resort markets in and near Lake Tahoe.

Sales fell from 2008 in all three counties. Lake Tahoe real estate firm Chase International reported 104 sales of lake-area homes valued at $1 million or higher in 2009. The previous year’s count was 134.

Don’t count out the wealthy, though, said the firm’s owner, Shari Chase.

“If you look at high-ticket purchases, those people are not going to be affected by any of the economic conditions. It’s about whether they want to go for their lifestyle,” she said.

DataQuick President John Walsh said traditional million-dollar markets like Hillsborough, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach and Santa Barbara “are holding up relatively well.” Expensive newer markets that “emerged four or years ago are not,” he said.

Mike Lyon, head of Sacramento’s Lyon Real Estate, attributed part of the capital-area sales decline to significant “discounting” at the harder-to-sell high end.

DataQuick said 29 percent of California’s luxury home buyers paid cash. Lending institutions most likely to help the others were Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Union Bank, the researcher reported.

Housing has hope amidst the hurt

Foreclosures inched up slightly across the capital region in the last three months of 2009, but loan defaults fell for a third straight quarter as lenders focused more on finding alternatives to taking the keys, La Jolla-based MDA DataQuick reported Wednesday.

The newest statistics revealed a still-painfully fragile housing market beset by widespread distress but also beginning to emerge from the subprime meltdown.

“We’re moving from a lender-created mess to an economy-created mess,” said Stuart Feldstein, president of lending industry tracker SMR Research in New Jersey. “The nature of the beast has changed. That doesn’t mean it’s better, but it’s more curable.”

• DataQuick counted 5,081 fourth quarter 2009 foreclosures in Amador, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties. The third-quarter count was 5,004 foreclosures.

• Fourth-quarter capital-area defaults numbered 7,522. That was down from 9,751 in the third quarter. Regionally, foreclosures peaked at 7,769 in the third quarter of 2008. Area defaults crested at 11,049 the first quarter of 2009.

The trend was repeated on a larger scale statewide. The sustained decline in defaults led DataQuick to suggest the worst may be over in hard-hit entry-level markets that dominate inland areas of California. Feldstein concurred, saying, “The good news, often overlooked, is (that) the truly horrible risks of people who shouldn’t have gotten loans in the first place are running off at a fairly rapid rate.”

But DataQuick analysts also noted that the recession is spreading the mortgage crisis to more expensive neighborhoods. Owners there, many with prime fixed-rate loans, are struggling with wage cuts, state employee furloughs and a 12.4 percent unemployment rate that may keep rising.

Wednesday, DataQuick reported that most of the loans experiencing trouble at the end of 2009 were originated in early 2007. Many also date back to mid-2006, “the worst of the ‘loans gone wild’ period,” the company said.

Lenders with the highest numbers of problem loans statewide included Countrywide (now an affiliate of Bank of America), Wells Fargo and Washington Mutual (now an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase). Along with Bank of America and World Savings, all were the most active lenders in the second half of 2006, DataQuick said.

Today, many of those lenders have become slower to proceed with foreclosures.

“Our take is that lenders are increasingly willing to work with borrowers before a notice of default is filed,” DataQuick Analyst Andrew LePage said.

Other options include loan modifications or the short sales that are becoming more common, according to the Sacramento Association of Realtors. Short sales – in which lenders accept sale prices below what they’re owed – accounted for one in four December sales in Sacramento County and West Sacramento, said SAR.

Elk Grove-based Century 21 real estate agent Derek Kirk said more than half the for-sale signs in the suburban city are tied to short-sale listings.

“I believe lenders are getting pressure to make it easier,” he said. “They are doing more of them, and I think some of the banks are now trying to streamline and implement better procedures so they can make quicker decisions.

“Waiting 90 to 120 days is not realistic for buyers.”

Home Front: Flippers back in vogue in Sacramento housing market

House flipping, the timeless buy-low, sell-high strategy, is back.

Thousands engaged in it during the real estate boom. Hundreds are trying it in the bust.

Property researcher MDA DataQuick tells Home Front it is seeing more houses sold within three weeks to six months of being purchased. Almost 5 percent of Sacramento County’s December home sales fell into the “flipping” category.

Today’s numbers rank right up there with the flipping rates of early 2005, just before the housing price bubble burst. At that time, 5.3 percent of Sacramento County sales were considered flips, says DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage. Often-amateur buyers simply bought houses and re-sold them as values rose 25 percent per year. Flipping is one of the factors that eventually spoiled the party and ruined those last arrivals.

By December 2007, with the market collapsing, only 1.7 percent of Sacramento County sales were flips.

But now at the bottom, investors have picked up the game with cheap bank repos. They add carpet, paint and countertops and resell for more, said LePage.

DataQuick statistics say investors accounted for 25 percent of Sacramento County sales in December.

“You’ve been in the 22 to 25.5 percent range for the past year,” LePage said.

It’s one of the reasons first-time buyers say they’re still losing out in bidding wars.

More bank repos coming

Capital-area buyers can expect the repo market share to rise 15 percent in 2010 as banks bring more to market, says Mike Lyon, head of Sacramento’s Lyon Real Estate.

Lyon says the number of repo listings began to swell in December after a year of “numerous government moratoriums.”

Lyon’s research division, TrendGraphix, says strong demand by investors and first-time buyers seeking federal $8,000 tax credits has driven average sale prices for foreclosed homes from $198,000 to $206,000. Lyon says he believes prices for homes under $300,000 will rise until midyear, when interest rates are expected to go up. By then the federal tax credit – scheduled to expire April 30 – will also likely be gone.

Extra spending money

Here’s a welcome flip side to endless reports about people with mortgages they can’t afford: A record percentage of Americans refinanced into smaller, cheaper home loans in the last three months of 2009.

It’s a trend – thanks to lower interest rates – that is freeing up billions of dollars in extra household income.

Federal home loan giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday that 33 percent of borrowers who refinanced in the fourth quarter actually lowered their principal balances. In other words, they got smaller mortgages after having paid off part of their original loans.

Freddie Mac said it’s the greatest quarterly percentage of loan downsizing since it started analyzing refinance activity in 1985.

The fourth-quarter refinancers also knocked about 1 percent off their collective interest rate. That translates into $2 billion in total savings the first year, said Freddie Mac. Alongside savings from smaller mortgages, this is new income to pay down bills, spend in restaurants, buy new cars or otherwise fuel the larger economy.

On the other side of the ledger, a record low 27 percent of those who refinanced in the fourth quarter cashed out some home equity. During the boom era from late 2003 to late 2005 – as house prices rose – it was routine for more than 80 percent of borrowers who refinanced to cash out home equity, Freddie Mac statistics indicate.

In 2009, American homeowners cashed out just $70 billion from their houses, the lowest amount since 2000, according to Freddie Mac. (In 2005: $301 billion). It’s not hard to guess why. Falling home values have eliminated all the equity people otherwise might have extracted.

Basics on Real Estate Photography to Market the Local Homes for Sale

As a realtor you will want to include photos of the property you market on your real estate websites. This is indeed a very good thought as community pictures play a very important role in marketing the local homes for sale. While capturing the photos for your website, you must take care to get all the basics of photography right. These basic aspects of real estate photography include queries on whether to use autofocus, reflection from flash, use of different digital camera features and the format of photo that will be uploaded. Here is a quick brush up on the important basics of photography…
In most cases, the flash plays culprit in photography. If you are using flash either on or off the camera you need not use the tripod. But make sure to get a good focus of the long distance objects by using a tripod when you do not use a flash. When you use flash, reflections and hot spots are unavoidable and can be taken care of with cloning during the post processing. To get a sharp view of the distant images, you can make use of the hyper focal focusing. If you are capturing images in low light areas, it is essential that you turn off the auto focus and switch to manual focusing as controlling auto focus is very difficult in dimly lit areas.
Once you have the photo ready, you can make it look more attractive by post processing of the photo using photo editing software like Photoshop or Lightroom. It is important that you concentrate on the white balance while post processing of the photo. There is no pre-defined right position for the white balance. It is only your discretion that decides what level of balance is right for the audience you are targeting. You can also make use of the CCD and CMOS in the photo editing software to set the histogram and exposure.
You can get the best results out of post processing by shooting in the RAW mode. You can make changes on the white balance, exposure, histogram, etc on a RAW file without damaging the image. Shooting in RAW will prove to be a better deal when compared to the JPG photo formats. It is also advisable that you keep the ISO on the camera as low as possible. This will give more power to your flash and thus removes all possible disturbances in photography.

All potential buyers have the real estate knowledge at their fingertips. This has decreased the tolerance of buyers as they want their agents to give them all the information now!
Also, the current real estate market has seen a lot of foreign buyers investing in the American real estate market. These foreign investors look at investments in America for either vocation homes or good investments. The vocation homes that are purchased by these foreign buyers are mainly the condominiums. With such extensive real estate activity, some real estate agents fear facing the foreign investors due to the raising nationalism and the United State’s approach to fight terrorism.
The mortgage market is yet to recover from recession. However, the property market has made a small improvement in making good investments. But still many are concerned about the scarcity of debt and good properties to invest on. This calls for a need to foresee the future trends in real estate.
The redundancies in financial services, property and investment lead to creating redundant office spaces. Real estate companies tied up to long term leases are now subletting their office space to be more entrepreneurial during recession and create income opportunities. They are adopting to operate from smaller office places that can accommodate a real estate team.
The property market is expected to go quiet with the business going on the internet. Technology and construction techniques are being used in clean, eco friendly and energy efficient green homes. The global environment consciousness will see filtering through financiers to decide upon sustainable development, investment, management and occupation practices in real estate.
