Taking a closer look at the realities of all the government foreclosure prevention programs sheds light on how off the mark they have been. For the record, at the time ALL of these programs were celebrated as a possible solution to the housing crash. Sure, in hindsight its all too easy to be cynical about the Obama Administrations various programs, acts, guidelines…not to mention the literally dozens of new acronyms we have all had to learn.

Freddie Mac has released a series of (excellent) videos designed to de-bunk the top Foreclosure Myths. Agents, post those videos everywhere….on your blog, on Facebook, Twitter… Myth 1: If my house is foreclosed, I can never buy a house again — the foreclosure will stay on my record forever. Truth 1: Foreclosure can have a devastating effect on your finances and you personally, but you can recover. Use the time after foreclosure to prepare yourself for successful homeownership the second time around by creating a spending and savings plan and rebuilding your credit.

Very interesting CNBC video…. Charlie Scharf, CEO of JP Morgan’s retail financial services shares insight on the mortgage business and principal forgiveness: “Our focus is helping people who want to pay and are having difficulties,” “We’ve got to be very careful that we don’t create an environment where we encourage people not to pay, and that’s the danger you have when you get into broad based principal forgiveness” In other words, Chase is not interested in principal forgiveness. Yesterday, Bank of America said the same thing. Bottom line, underwater owners aren’t going to be bailed out. With no chance of […] Click Here To View More

What is interesting about this article isn’t the fact that so many foreclosures in Nevada are strategic….what is interesting is the fact that the Nevada Association of Realtors is doing the reporting. Most boards of Realtors have been downplaying the number of underwater owners choosing to strategically default for fear that the ‘contagion’ would spread. Fact is, underwater owners are walking away regardless of a Realtors participation let alone consent. For smart agents, the strategic default movement as an opportunity. Understand that underwater distressed owners who are considering a strategic foreclosure would be far better served if they were to […] Click Here To View More

Agents, the next time you think you have difficult to sell listing…remember this story from the New York Times. This mansion is well known to locals due to the …gangs who occasionally take up residence…ghosts who haunt…aliens who use the ground to land their space crafts…as an indian burial ground…as the ulitmate crack house …and you guessed it…devil worshiping.

Real Estate News Alert Fellow Realtors, in case you didn’t know it…..obtaining a mortgage is about to become significantly more difficult. Here is whwith Tim and Julie Harris expects to happen: * GSE (Fannie and Freddie) Market share to reduce from 95% to 40%. Think about that for a moment. When was the last time you had a buyer who DIDN’T use Fannie or Freddie for their mortgage. * Reduce the GSE Loan Limit. The loan limit is $729,750 in the most expensive areas in the US. Expect the max loan limit to become no greater than $429,750. * Increase […] Click Here To View More

Fannie Mae Secret Shopper Leaked Info: As we first reported earlier last year Fannie Mae instituted a ‘secret shopper’ program to do proactive check ups on their asset listing agents. Many Fannie Mae listing agents lost their assets as a result of their sub-par performance. Fact is, its not too late to become a REO listing agent! Why? simply because SO many existing REO listing agents aren’t going to remain…REO listing agents. Fannie Mae simply informs their servicers to no longer use the offending agent. Poof, you are fired. It really works like that. NOTE: If you are an existing […] Click Here To View More

Interesting video just sent to me from a HREU Student.. Yes, some of the facts and opinions in this video are not correct…but, the overall theme merits conversation. As you will soon learn, she is absolutely correct that the government seems to have lost focus on housing. I am hearing more and more politicians claiming our economy can fully recover without housing recovering. In other words, there seems to be significant housing burnout in Washington D.C. Did President Obama even mention the word…housing…in his speech last week? I know there is a significant segment of the real estate community that […] Click Here To View More

BREAKING NEWS! U.S. home resales jumped more than expected in December despite bad weather as sellers cut prices, offering some hope for a sector that has been struggling to recover from its worst slump in modern history. Existing home sales soared 12.3 percent to an annual rate of 5.28 million units, the National Association of Realtors said on Thursday, far surpassing forecasts for a rise to 4.85 million. Sales were down 2.9 percent compared to a year earlier. A jump in mortgage rates may have forced some buyers into the market by raising concern of even further increases, said Lawrence […] Click Here To View More

Rick Sharga, senior vice president at RealtyTrac Inc., discusses the outlook for the U.S. housing market and home foreclosure filings. The number of U.S. homes receiving a foreclosure filing will climb about 20 percent in 2011, reaching a peak for the housing crisis, as unemployment remains high and banks resume seizures after a slowdown, according to RealtyTrac.

It’s coming, no question. Today’s report from RealtyTrac serves as a warning to big banks, Fannie, Freddie and local communities; The foreclosure glut is coming, and they’d better be ready to get rid of that glut in a big way. 2010 saw a record number of bank repossessions, over a million, even with a big drop in volume toward the end of the year, thanks to the robo-signing scandal and ensuing foreclosure freezes. “Early indications in January were that this robo-signing related delay will be over by the end of first quarter if not sooner,” says RealtyTrac’s Rick Sharga. “I […] Click Here To View More

Amherst Mortgage Securities released a very dire warning…something we all need to pay attention to: Without more governmental intervention, 11.5 million borrowers would be in danger of losing their homes. They make the under stated point that “the housing overhang is not caused solely by the number of non-performing loans that exist in the market. The problem also includes the high rates at which re-performing loans are re-defaulting.” Translated: The loan mods and other ‘extend and pretend’ measures are not working and will never work…here is why…the high rate at which “deeply underwater loans that have never been delinquent are […] Click Here To View More

Background: In September, prices fell by 1.5% indicating housing was in a double-dip scenario.
