It's Free

Ron Trzcinski: Real Estate Agent in Nottingham, MD

It's Free

You bought a house for $100,000. You could afford it.

It appreciated to $350,000. You still could afford it, because the loan was still based on $100,000.

Meanwhile your salary increased and interest rates went very low. You could afford to pay a higher mortgage.

New wants, needs, and desires eventually arose. A new car, your children's college educations, an updated kitchen, a trip to Bermuda (or some non-terrorist destination), and so on.

With your increased equity, your higher salary, and lower interest rates, you decide that you can refinance your house to pay for these things. You refinance for $270,000. That extra money goes along way towards covering these typical needs.

Next, the market takes a severe drop. Your house is now worth $250,000.

You decide that you do not want to pay for a depreciating investment which is now worth less than the amount of your loan.

You search for options. Sell; no, that won't work; you won't get enough to cover the mortgage and other costs. Foreclosure; no, that looks bad on your credit.

Maybe you can go with a short sale or a deed in lieu. Now you're talking. And make sure that the bank waives any possible deficiency judgments against you for the balance.

But wait a minute. Couldn't you still afford to pay for the mortgage. Yes, but it is not a good investment.

But wait another minute. What is not a good investment?

Is it the house which is not a good investment? Or is it the new car, the children's education, the updated kitchen, the vacation, or what that is not a good investment?

Walking away from the house is one thing; you are no longer paying for the house and you no longer have the house.

But are you giving all of these other things back? Of course not; you found a way to get them for FREE.

How many people were just like you? Selfless actions that contributed to property values coming down.

And now your neighbor, who actually paid his bills, and who wants to sell his house for normal reasons, is caught in a depreciated market caused by those who thought that everything should be free.

Oh, and now you are ready to start the cycle all over again; you are in the market to buy a house.

Old Towson Jail to Be New West Towson Pool

06-15-09
Marney Kirk
Marney Kirk: Real Estate Agent in Towson, MD

An old jail in my town of Towson, Maryland is going to have a new life as a pool, office space, and hopefully a cafe.

Placed on the National Historical Registry in 1991, the Warden's building, built in 18Old Towson Jail58, is being renovated to preserve the original details while providing modern amenities.

I am excited that this 1.8 acres is going to be something so useful to the community. Though the pool is going to be private, the public schools around and camps/etc will have access to use. The local senior center will be offered largely discounted memberships.

The best part for my neighborhood, is that if you are a charter member, meaning that you pay $2500-$3500 to help build the pool, then that membership becomes part of your household. This means that when someone sells their Towson home, the membership can be transferred with the sale of the house.

Pools in our area fill up quickly. One opened in Timonium last year and their wait list is now 3 years long.

This provides a tremendous opportunity for Towson House Values to those who are willing and able to be charter members!
