Will HARP 2.0 work? Watch this video and you tell me… …few things to consider: 1) There are 11,000,000 underwater owners in the US. (and growing). Estimates are that HARP 2.0 can only ‘help’ 10% of those underwater owners…big reason, the owner must be current on their mortgage. If you are late, don’t apply. Of the estimated 11 million underwater owners nearly half are already behind on their payments, in default. 2) HARP 2.0 has nothing to do with homes already foreclosed. There are millions of homes readying to become REO listings over the next 12-24 months. Millions of homes […] Click Here To View More

Source: WSJ.com Colby Sambrotto, a founder and former chief operating officer of ForSalebyOwner.com, a large website for owner sales, spent six months trying to sell his condominium himself through online listings and classified ads, before turning over the listing of the 2,000-square-foot apartment to a broker at Bond New York in November. The broker, Jesse Buckler, said he told Mr. Sambrotto the apartment in the Lion’s Head building on West 19th Street near Sixth Avenue was priced too low and wasn’t drawing the right buyers. By May, it went into contract, he said, after attracting multiple offers. It closed in […] Click Here To View More

More signs of life for housing. Following today’s surprisingly positive National Association of Realtors report on home sales we have more good news to share…an INCREASE in mortgage applications to purchase (vs refi).

Agents, I bet you didn’t know that other than the US only DENMARK has a 30 year mortgage…and in Denmark 20% down is the norm. In other words, in every other country in the world other that the USA (and Denmark) when someone buys a home they have to put 20% down…and finance the home for usually 15 years. In our country, owning a home has become somewhat of an entitlement. For almost 40 years it was considered an adult rite of passage to buy a home. This is coming to an end. Fellow agents, assume the 30 year mortgage […] Click Here To View More
