South Florida Homes Are Still Selling Despite Rising Mortgage Rates

South Florida Homes Still Selling Despite Rising Mortgage Rates

Despite interest rates rising almost 1% over the last month...homes are still selling in the South Florida area.

Buyers monthly payments are going up but because of lower asking prices.....it hasn't hurt our housing market.

The median price of a home in Palm Beach County was $223,000 last month which is down from the $380,000 price two years ago. In Broward County median home sales price of $364,000 two years ago to $180,000 in May. The number of homes sold has increased for 10 consecutive months.

I think this is happening due to the decrease in inventory I'm seeing in most cities. Also because many homes that have foreclosed are being held by the banks before they would consider re-packaging them and putting them back on the market.

Weston FL Homes for sale -June 2009 Market Report

Weston FL Homes for sale

Since the beginning of 2009...I've noticed that the inventory levels in Weston have dropped dramatically...maybe not as low as they were 5 yrs ago but a major turn that anyone would notice. This seems to be a trend going on in other cities as well.

So why is happening? Most likely its occurring due to many homes owners who have taken their homes off the market. This type of homeowner is someone who really doesn't need to sell. Then you have your foreclosures...short sales and REO properties. It seems that some banks are holding off putting these properties on the market. Apparently by waiting and then repackaging them later might help the Real Estate market recover.

My Short Sale is approved for the third time...now the sellers backed out!

putting out fires

My Short Sale is approved for the third time...now the sellers backed out!

It seems like I'm always putting out fires but I guess that's the business we choose.

You might ask how this is possible? I had this short sale that I've worked on for probably 7 months. The first two times the bank approved the deal in writing but both times the buyers couldn't get qualified. We were told twice that the buyers were approved by their lender and even showed proof of funds but they still couldn't get it closed....that's another story.

This time we get another buyer and throughout the process I felt pretty confident that this one would make it. The Realtor and the buyer and the lender were all willing to cooperate and supply any updates to us.

We were told by the lender that we would get the approval within 4-5 weeks which we did. And then the nightmare started. This transaction was an FHA loan and the seller needed to execute a required document that I had sent after the contract was executed. I was calling them almost everyday letting them know that the lender required it back fully executed but my clients (The Sellers) weren't returning my calls!

That got me a bit concerned but I kept trying. Maybe there was a family emergency and someone was sick or maybe someone even died and I figured they just didn't want to deal with it so I waited another week. I finally was anticipating the approval any day so I picked up the phone on a Saturday and blocked my phone number just to see if they were avoiding me. Well of course when I called...they picked up the call!

It turns out that they've decided to file bankruptcy because they are worried about the tax implications. They said they don't fall under the law that usually protects you if that property is their primary home.

They had originally lived there for 2-3 yrs yet they feel they don't fall under those dates. As of a week ago.... the buyers are now going to take legal action and sue for specific performance. I doubt they'll win...after all....the first lien holder gets anything awarded and if there's anything left .....it probably won't be much of anything. They want to close and they're ready.....willing and able.

I'm not sure what type of legal advice they're getting but I just hope they know what they're doing.
