According to Deutsche bank predicts that 50% of all mortgages will be underwater by 2011. Yes there was a small up tick of prices in November. Can anyone say $8000 check from Government.

Is now a good time to buy Yes and no but mostly Know. Know what your situation is, can you afford to purchase a home. Is it in an area where there will be demand now and in the future. Is it good repair. Good schools and generally location, location and location. Make sure to look at what will happen in the neighborhood in the next couple of years. Where all the homes built and bought between 2005-2007 if so, most will be underwater on there mortgage. Will there be walk aways? Foreclosures short sales?

Now Might be the best time to buy in recent history but know a good Realtor and know what you are buying. Know the neighborhood You are buying into because you are buying a neighborhood also. A 200,000 home in 100,000 neighborhood is not a good buy even at 150,000.

A short sale can absolutely be a great deal for buyers. You can get a tremendous house for the money. While short sales are oftentimes sold "as is", that isn't really where the problem arises. No matter how many times you explain to buyers that buying a short sale can be a lengthy process, that could take anywhere from 3-9 months on average, and no matter how many times they say "yes I know", it never fails that they will call you in 48 hours and say...

What have you heard? Why haven't we heard anything yet? Do they want to sell or not? I'll Just look for something else!

A short sale does not mean short closing time! Occasionally, you can come in right after another deal has fallen through and the lender could possibly close quicker, say around 3 weeks. But that isn't the norm. The norm is a gruelling and frustrating waiting period. Because the only person being shorted is the bank!

If I lend you $100k and you promise to pay me back by a certain time, and when the money is due you tell me, "okay, I only have $50k, can you take that and call us even?" That probably won't sit very well with me. Well it isn't sitting well with the banks either. So they aren't necessarily in a hurry to give up their interests. Now put that on National scale and there you have it. But enough on the banks right now, because this is about the buyers.

Here is the short version of the process: offer to seller, contract w/supporting docs to lender, processing, assignment of negotiatior, appraisal, info sent to investor for acceptance, notification of acceptance to seller/buyer, review of costs, info to closing department, closing 30 days from that date. That's with no glitches, no additional paperwork and everything goes smoothly. It took more than a minute to type so it will take more than a minute to get to closing right?

Why is it that the person with the least amount of patience, will be the first person to make an offer on a short sale?! Sometimes they are transfixed like "hypno dog" and can only see that $500k house being sold for $250! When you say they are NOT going to be doing repairs on the home, what you hear in response is "oh I don't mind fixing things" until they see that the air conditioner doesn't work.

On average it takes about 45 days for a negotiator/mitigation specialist to be assisgned. How many phone calls do you think will come in from the buyer during that time? Sometimes Realtors are doing a disservice to buyers when they have cash offers, and will write on the sales contract big as life "closing in 30 days" ! It still takes time, because you are still shorting the bank the same amount of money! And there are still at least 100,000 more they have to process to get to yours.

At our recent staff meeting an agent said to me that after 3 months of waiting, the bank came back with a counter offer, and the buyers were upset. Why? Because despite what you are telling them, selective hearing is kicking in, and at the end of three months you are now hearing, "you never told me that"!

Buyers who are best suited for short sales are investors who have the time to wait and money for repairs; people who are in leases (that aren't going to expire in the next 30-60 days); military folks who are in government housing.

So, while short sales can be a fantabulous deal, it can be a frustrating ordeal. So sit back and relax, wash the car, or wash my car I won't mind!

If you have had the wonderful experience of waiting for a month for a dental appointment at Eglin AFB, it seems your prayers are being answered. It's true, construction has already begun on a new clinic that will help support the base's growing and projected population and expanded mission of the 7th SFG and F35's have fueled the fire for the urgency for the facility, and hopefully it will reduce patient wait times. The projected completion date for the new clinic is expected sometime around fall next year.

Will it really reduce wait times? Well, there is a strong possibility that it may. What I'm hearing is that there will be a new two-story 31,000+ sqft building that will be co- located near the existing Hospital (which has also recently received upgrading), and the Fisher House that is also under construction.

The new clinic is projected to have 52 dental treatment rooms & a new dental laboratory. There may be some job availability as well, as they are looking to expand the existing 90-person staff by an additional 30 positions. The dental residency program also will be expanded when the new clinic opens, and that year long program is expected to grow from 6 and possibly to as many as 10 resident slots. The dental squadron at Eglin AFB is just one of 12 facilities within the entire Air Force to offer advanced training in general dentistry to recent dental school graduates.

When the new facility opens, the base will be going GREEN, by reusing the resources of the existing clinic for general medicine. Kudos to Eglin for that.
