HOUSING STARTS-UP’S UP 14.6% IN JUNE TO 629,000!

According to Commerce Department information, housing start-ups increased 14.6% in June which show continued gains in comparison to previous months.  The housing start-up data came in well above analysts’ expectations.

Analysts polled were expecting housing starts to come in at 580,000 for June.  However, housing start-up’s increased to the highest level since January of 2011 at 629,000 Nationally.  This statistic is well above the seasonally adjusted basis of 549,000 for May and nearly seventeen percent higher than a year earlier.

In a simultaneous release, the department of Housing and Urban Development and the Census Bureau stated that housing starts climbed 9.4% in June—up substantially from May.  All in all, expectations from analysts were low.

June’s increase continues to provide positive data on the steady climb in housing starts which is a very good sign for the construction industry.

MORE ON FORECLOSURES 

FHA lenders can now allow homeowners to go 12 months late before a mortgage is declared in default.  The old requirement was 120 days.  This has advantages and disadvantages to the homeowner.

The main advantage is more time for homeowners to try and work something out, and thereby save their home.

It is still three years (at a minimum) after a foreclosure (or “foreclosure type event”) before they can qualify for a new mortgage.  This is measured from the time the old home is lost, not from when they go into default.  So if the old home cannot be saved, this longer process delays a fresh start.

 

My advice to the homeowner in trouble?  Make every effort to make good on all obligations.  At the first sign of trouble, contact the lender, and be up-front and honest.  If a workout arrangement is made, make sure it is something you can do, based on your circumstances at the time.  Do not bet on something down the road.  And get everything in writing.

Economic difficulty is a fact of life for many people these days.  But some old rules are still valid – do the best you can, communicate well, and keep good records.

Foreclosures Plummet in First Half of 2011

Foreclosures Plummet in First Half of 2011

The first half of the year saw foreclosure filings falling dramatically as processing delays at banks strapped with an overabundance of repossessed homes continued to alter the numbers.

Filings for foreclosures went down 29% in comparison with the same period a year ago—down 25% from the last 6 months of 2010.

One in every 111 households received a foreclosure notice through June 30th of this year—approximately 1.2 million home owners within the United States.

Second quarter filings marked the lowers quarterly total since the end of 2007 as the meltdown in the mortgage industry was at its initial phases.

Some feel that the economic improvement within the foreclosure market can be traced to the processing delays brought on by the robo-signing scandal which discovered that bank employees were signing foreclosure documents without following all of the appropriate protocol.  Some assume that there may be as many as 1 million foreclosure auctions which were delayed in 2011 due to the scandal that will be hitting the block in 2012 or later.  As a result, the housing slump may be prolonged.

Ada County Real Estate Update

/in /by

In Ada County, there were 623 homes which changed hands in June—a decrease from June 2010 of 6%.  June of 2011, in comparison to May of 2011, had 4% more homes change hands.  Historically, however, May sales increase somewhere between 1% and 6%.  2011 sales are within 3% of sales in 2010 for the same time of year.

47% of the total sales in June were distressed—down six percent from May of 2011 (REO’s 31% & Short Sales 15%).  Although distressed sales continue to encompass the market, they have fallen below the majority of sales for the 1st time in 2011.

The end of June had 957 homes in pending status; a decrease of five percent from May.  Pending sales are typically at the highest point of the year in May.

Homes available for sale at Calgary MLS fell below 2,600 in June for the first time in the last 4 years and available inventory rivals the year 2006—the height of the real estate boom.

The percentage of active homes for sale which are distressed dropped almost 2% from June and is the 4th consecutive monthly decrease in distressed sales currently on the market.

There is currently 4 months of inventory within Ada County which historically means that we are in a “seller’s market”.  The lack of inventory is mostly seen in the lower end price range (below $120,000).  This particular # is the lowest seen in over a year!

June’s median home price went up $10,500 to $152,500 which is the highest median price increase seen year to date while the median of new home pricing increased 48% from June of 2010!

The local market continues to benefit from current inventory levels that are lower than the national average.  Is the pendulum swinging to a buyers’ market??  Only time shall tell . . .

Foreclosure Sales Still Abundant in the Real Estate Market

/in /by

Foreclosure Sales Still Abundant in the Real Estate Market . . .

Bank owned properties accounted for 28% of all home sales within the first quarter of 2011 even though the sale of foreclosed homes declined. This can partly be attributed to the fact that the customer service attracted and garnered more and more customer into buying homes, and which has been asserted at https://www.salesforce.com/products/service-cloud/best-practices/how-to-improve-customer-service/. This rate is nearly six times higher than a normal housing market should be.

Realty Trac Inc stated on May 26th that foreclosure sales hit the highest level of overall sales within a year during the first quarter nationally and also stated that the percentage of homes sold in foreclosure should be below 5%–in a normal market.

The sale of foreclosed homes in California accounted for 45% of all of the home sales within the first 3 months of 2011—down from 48% in 2010.  Foreclosed properties sold for roughly 34% less than the average sale price of non-distressed property.  Foreclosure sales in Arizona accounted for 45% of the overall sales in the first quarter—down 2 percentage points from 2010.

Numerous other states had sales of foreclosed property which accounted for ¼ of the sales of homes in the first quarter of 2011:  Florida, Michigan, Oregon, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Ohio and Idaho.

Court delays have caused the pace of the foreclosure process to slow in the past months.  However, distressed homes and property remain within the housing market.  The homes, as mentioned previously, are often in need of repair and sell at a substantial discount.  This, of course, weakens prices for alternate homes for sale.

In the first quarter nationally, 158,434 distressed homes were sold.  This is down 16% from the last 3 months of 2010 and down 36 percent from a year ago.  Even though the sale of bank-owned properties declined, this still accounted for almost 19% of all sales—up from 17% in the fourth quarter of 2010.

There are still 872,000 homes that are being held by lenders yet still need to be sold.  At the current pace it will take 3 years to clear the inventory of 1.0 million homes for sale already in a certain stage of foreclosure.  This amounts to a 2 year supply for bank owned property alone.

Home Buyers saved an average of 35% when purchasing bank owned homes.  This discount is unchanged from the previous quarter.

The largest discounts on foreclosure property can be found in Ohio where these homes sold for an average of 41% less than non-distressed homes for sale.

Nevada, who led the United States in foreclosure sales, showed that 53% of homes that were sold were distressed (bank owned or short sale).  Nevada has an inventory of 28,000 bank owned properties currently on the market or scheduled to hit the market.
