Contigency for Bank Owned property?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:10:00 GMT

We're interested in purchasing a bank owned property, but we haven't put our current house on the market yet. Is it possible to make a full offer with contingency? We can also afford 2 mortgages but we can't meet the 20% down payment for the 2nd mortgage without getting the equity from our current house. Any advice? We hate to let this house passes us by.

short sale question

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 18:53:00 GMT

I have made an offer on a short sale property and it is currently pending bank approval. I have been told by the listing agent that my offer is the only offer the bank will consider and I will be made aware of all other offers, and I have the right to meet any other offers that may come in. I feel my offer is at market value and I am optimistic about the eventual outcome. My concern is that I am not being told about other offers (6 weeks have passed and I haven't heard anything). Is it common for a bank to only consider one offer in a short sale in some circumstance? Is it common that they will exclusively negotiate with me?

What does it mean when a Realtor says they are certified by the FBI?

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:18:00 GMT

I recently spotted these broker claims at the end of a Craig's List ad:

Our Services are FREE/Commissions are paid byHUD
Foreclosures close in 30-45 after an accepted bid.

This is misleading considering the buyer agent commission is paid from the purchase price...financed and paid for by the Buyer. HUD does not have a set commission amount and will allow up to 5% to the buyers' agent. Buyer beware!

FORECLOSURE SPECIALIST LYNN PALMER IS CERTIFIED BY THE STATE OF COLORADO AND THE FBI, SHE IS A BROKER FOR KELLER WILLIAMS IN HIGHLANDS RANCH…….A REALTOR YOU CAN TRUST.

What is it that the State of Colorado, and more curiously, the FBI has certified her to do? When contacted she refused to explain these claims. Any ideas?

Housing Market Update for Colorado Springs, Colorado

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:52:00 GMT

Things are looking up for the Colorado Springs housing market. Home Sales have risen 12% compared to last year during the same time period. New homes Sales are up for the last 5 months straight. Our housing inventory has dropped 20% from the same time last year, which is great for home sellers. The average days on the market have dropped front 95 days down to 71 days on the market, which is also great news for home sellers.

The supply of homes on the market drastically affects not only homes sellers, but the number of homes buyers have to choose from. Especially now with the end of the $8,000 tax credit come on November 30, 2009.In September of 2008 there was an 8.2 month supply of homes on the market and currently we have 5.9 months supply of homes. This is great news for home sellers and a signal to home buyers to not wait around to write an offer , once they have found their dream home.
