104 old kings highway south, darien, ct

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:30:00 GMT

I just cannot understand why you have priced my home at only $482,000 - which is so so wrong. You have 106 Old Kings Highway S., on the right of me priced aqt $618,000. These homese were built at the same time, further I have more property, there rear yard is so sloped it is not useable and windows original, wood siding, etc. My home had been totally updated and has a stone and new wood shingle exterior,marble fireplace, bay & garden new windows, completely finished lower level with 8' ceilings.

Further you have 102 Old Kings Highway listed at $589,000 - this home and much less property than mine, small rooms, and is nowhere worth the value of mine.

The only reason you show their homes higher than mine, is that they have been sold and resold 2x in the last 15 years, whereas I have remained and constantly updated my home.

What do I have to do to have you correct this as it so upsets me.

Thanks,

where are the cash buyers from?

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:39:00 GMT

amidst high unemployment rate almost every house we looked at has got " cash offers" ,and these are not fix uppers. where are these cash buyers from? if they have that much cash in hand, why do they compete on middle class properties against cash crunched middle class instead of buying more valuable stuff like land or high end properties?I can't image they will move in, are they just planning on renting it out? or flip it in a year or two?

A look at Real Estate History

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:39:00 GMT

According to a June 2009 report by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the typical housing downturn, from peak to valley, lasts 3¾ years historically speaking. However, the same report found that the typical housing upswing, from valley to peak, lasts 6½ years.

Doug's Take: I found this very interesting and reflected on our latest downturn. In Sacramento County, we statistically peaked in August 2005 @ a median price of $392,750. 3.75 years would come out to May 2009. Well, as i've been saying for months now, we statistically bottomed out in Sacramento County in February 2009. Amazingly close to 3.75 years of a downturn. Granted this one was much steeper than a typical downturn but our upswing before it was much sharper than normal. My personal opinion is Sacramento has bottomed out and we will see very slow and steady growth over the next few years. Yes, we might bounce around when you look at month to month numbers but overall, slow and steady growth.

clear skies,

We would like to purchase a new home, should we sell our current condo?

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:48:00 GMT

We purchased the Condo 4years ago at $399K and now worth $287,500 (Zestmate). After 4 years, we now only owe $200k for our Condo. We can keep condo and rent out, as suggested by our agent but are considering maybe selling because we also are looking to buy new home, worry about 2 mortgages and being landlords. We are looking to purchase homes within the area $400k-$600k. Our joint income is over $200K and we have $200K+ saved in cash to put down to lower our mortgage for new home, of course we hope not to have to use all. Banks quoted interest rates are higher than what we've seen and heard others getting. What types of loan is best for our situation? It seems like everyone has options except us. We don't qualify for much because of our income being too high, so they say. But can we qualify for $8K tax credit? and should we hold onto or sell our condo? My husbands credit is over 780 and mine is less than desirable at 570-600.

Property Values Melbourne Florida

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 20:40:00 GMT

Today I did an analysis of closed sales in the Brevard County MLS. Results show 40% of all closed sales this year have been distressed properties. Without question it is an all time record high and impacts every neighborhood and condo community not just in our county, but counties throughout the nation. A question that plagues many of us is how do we recover from this real estate anomaly? Unfortunately I don't know the answer. There are still countless properties in the purgatory of Lis Pendens. The banks don't have the manpower to process the staggering numbers of properties waiting to foreclose. By appearance sake it looks like inventory has dropped when in fact it's slugging up waiting like a volcano to burst. I am doing my part to help everyone I can with loan modifications, short sales and recovering equity when ever possible. I am associated with dear friends and peers who also toil to help so many suffering in mortgage distress. We are out here and willing to help. With all the vultures out there I realize it's difficult to know who to trust. If you or someone you know is facing preforeclosure, there are options to stop the bleeding. There are many trust worthy professionals who can and are willing to assist home owners and investors in their hour of need.

Doom Sayer's look out Florida's Population Growth To Recover in 2012

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:16:00 GMT

Due to the attractive lifestyle Florida offers and new job potential in the near future, Florida is set to resume growth in net migration as well as natural increase according to state economists. 2009 was the first year since 1946 that the state showed negative growth due to the net outflow of residents. 2009 was negative by 125,000 , 2010 is projected by the state economists to be negative by 35,000. By 2011, it turns positive and is projected to go to over 235,000 people/yr in following years.

Any chance the original 1st Time Buyer Credit could be retroactive?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:27:00 GMT

I bought in Nov 2008 and qualified for the 1st Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. (The original one that had to be repayed over 15 years.) Anyone know if there is any kind of loophole that would make the current tax credit retroactive to buyers who bought under the original version? (no repayment required)

La Jolla Land Sales

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:29:00 GMT

Five plots of land have sold in La Jolla over the past year. The most expensive sale was in the La Jolla Country Club neighborhood. Just under a half an acre sold for 1.2 million at the end of March 2009. The median sale price per square foot of land in La Jolla was $71.55. The average sale price was 89% of the list price. Click the map to view property details of the land sold in La Jolla over the past 12 months.

Currently, there are 16 land listings in La Jolla with a median list price of about 2.4 million. Two plots are available in La Jolla Farms, one for 6.9 million and the other for $8.2 million. The average days on market for land in La Jolla is 166 but that number might be skewed depending on how many of them have expired and re-listed.

New Stats - Homebuyer's Tax Credit?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:30:00 GMT

Newly Reported Promising Housing Market Stats

Definitely related to the Homebuyer's Tax Credit, which was originally intended to expire at the end of this month. With the credit being extended (and eligibility requirements expanded), I'm curious to see if the urgency and sales figures continue to rise after the first of the year.
