Commerical going bad ?

click here

It's not over yet inspite of what they...say click here

We read some interesting allegations last night. Seems bank only pay 3 percent commissions on reo's. (not verified). and awarding these listing to special in crowd agents who only award these listings to special in crowd clients. As said, these are strictly allegations and not verified and we didn't make them. We dont know if this true or not... since we arent interested in homes under 200k I have no idea or interest.

We looked at the info reported by Mr. 140. it appears from the record that owner/blipper owns another property in LHP and that US Bank has filed an LP on said property. It also appears from the record that two concrete companies have filed LP's against the original mentioned listing. That's a huge house with an elevator/??

We just read about the high speed train, wonder what impact that will have? if any...

come back

why hasnt RE comeback part duex:click here

Taking a loss; we like this house, not this particular house but the layout; being that sooner or later we are going to have to care for a family member and the guest house would be an added bonus, maybe a bit enlarged for the member;
We have been looking at this particular model for over a year. see a listing here:
listing here on the market for over 130 days and the seller has reduced the price once. It is also interesting to note that according to records he is taking an immediate 300k plus loss, If.. I read the record correctly, purchase here:purchase We also noted another listed a few days ago for asking $925k. this is all a wishing game due to the homes being landlocked and no place for a boat. But the point is, it will be interesting to see where these homes end up. I found purchases from the builder as far back as 03 in the low 7,s. for this particular model. This is not counting in options,upgrades etc that might of been added to others and well as timing.

find out if I can get an addition to my home owners.

I dont think I have anything to worry about since I always made an concerted effort to be as accurate as possible and not make stuff up.

The Future ?click here

Gun shy, Free speech is dead

I am gun shy, free speach is no longer. AFter reading the following
click here Blog insurance, 500/year?? First off I never have made more than 10 bucks that I have yet to recover from google adsense. I do this for fun and because I have a personal interest. ,

My experience with lawyers has been less then stellar being married to one in my youth and being severely taken advantage of because I was young and vunerable and then he married my best friend.

What I have, I have earned myself, lived within my means, struggled for more than 50 years, saved and never cheated anyone out of anything,ever !! It isnt much, but I dont want to have to end up giving it to some lawyer. Therefore I am at an empasse as of right now as to the future of this blog.

Here comes another wave....& short sales

another wave, click here

short sales: I have been avoiding this topic but now I feel necessitated to speak to this issue. I have noticed more than one real estate person using this label as a tactic to make a home seem more attractive and giving the illusion that the property is bank owned, or in the throws of foreclosure when it is in fact not. This seems to be the new... marketing ploy, buyer beware, check the property records and court records before falling for this label. And yes there are short sales where the seller is willing to sell the property for less than owned but this is entirely different beast in my view than one leading you to believe.. oh boy, this home is in foreclosure or the bank owns its, it must be a great deal.... Maybe maybe not.
Maybe its a strech of truth to get a response by less than truthful marketing, imagine that, or maybe the seller has used the home as a virtual piggy bank and ran up the debt with "wild spending" so that the home is mortgaged to the hill, as to they say. just because someone was reckless with their financial program and indebted a property way above its real value and then decides to sell for less than owed doesnt necessarily make it a discounted property in my view. One must be vigilant use the tools and links provided here to find out the exact status of each property of interest.

Here is one that was advertised after the fact as a short sale perhaps to lessen the
fact that this particular home is one of the most favoured of this type due to location and is the first one ever to sell for this price. Also to smooth over this fact so that the other homes which are less attractive location wise, will not be in shock since they are all asking close to a million dollars.

purchased in 05 for 804,000 sold for 525,000. this is the first time any of these homes have sold for this price level. being adverted sale as short sale.


sale and purchase here

we could find no record of lis pendens, liens or other official records. It appears from the records that this purchase was an intended flip that flopped since the person owns another home in the community purchased same year and he cut his losses and came up with over 200k out of his own pocket to cover a mortgage of approximately
840k if I read the records correctly.

wonder how the neighbor feels asking 950k

click here

and another at a mil :

click

and no doubt the answer will be oh that house... that was a short sale implying something other than the seller decided to get out of dodge and cut his losses.

Wonder what that will do to appraisals and comp?????

Our entry today from 2500 max. thanks bunches, my root canal thanks you !!!

Here is our tract home McMansion of the day entry. This is a big one at > 4500 sq ft. Same MO, paid way too much and now Mr Bank owns it as of 6/26/2009. We will probably see this one on the MLS for 50% off.

http://www.bcpa.net/RecInfo.asp?URL_Folio=513936025560

Lets see how a 50% off $775K ($387K) MLS listing could affect the neighboring properties.

Purchased 1/2005 for $493K
Purchased 8/2005 for $625K

Ouch!

2500 sq ft Max.

We have read about delusional sellers of McMansions thinking the prices are "coming back"...well.

Here is one that just hit the MLS.

MLS: H863553 asking $1,100,000 that is correct $1.1 million in a development of tract homes. You may be thinking someone is trying to make a huge profit if they can get someone to pay $1.1 mil...actually it is a loss on this tract home McMansion. Yep, it is a loss!

Purchased brand new from the builder at the height of the bubble 5/2006 for...are you ready?....drum roll please...$1,305,000...thats correct $1.3 million for a tract home.

http://www.bcpa.net/RecInfo.asp?URL_Folio=513925053650

I will give credit to the fact that this monster tops out at an impressive 5279 sq ft. On the other side of the ledger this is not a plus in that most people will discount the price due to the massive carrying costs.

Lets look at what estimated value is.

Zillow: $661K
Corelogic: $720K
Cyberhomes: $463K looks like it uses foreclosures of which there are many here.

If this sells for close to the estimated values, how could this affect the homes next door.

Purchased: 7/2005 for $1,025,000
Purchased: 4/2007 for $939,500

If this sells close to the estimated values it may make the $700K loss club and hammer the comps for surrounding homes.

Oh my!
