Follow up: Short Sale with PNC Bank

Two weeks ago I posted: Short Sale with PNC Bank looking for some help. I am here to report I got Zero! So I logged on to Short Sale Specialists and got a contact name and phone number for someone in the Short Sale department at PNC Bank. Well, I was informed that my file was complete and waiting for a BPO to be done. I also asked that the file be accelerated upon completion. Then I terminated the title company that was willing to just sit and wait for a fax notification that was never coming.

Today, I now have the approval letter after negotiating an amount that the sellers could handle. After farming out my files because of Short Sale burnout, I have learned that I need to be the negotiator as I am ultimately responcible for the success or failure on each transaction.

Thanks for all your help AR.

Where are All the Foreclosures For Sale in Kissimmee Florida?

While Kissimmee Florida has been reloading after the justice department punished Florida's top foreclosure attorneys, we are finally seeing the foreclosure process start up again in Kissimmee, Florida after an eight month foreclosure moratorium.

Inventories are at a three year low and there are not enough homes for the buyers. This is causing bidding wars again with foreclosure properties selling well above list price. That is not a problem since these properties are being listed 20% below appraised value. So, if you get a home and pay 10% over list price, it is still a discount. The savvy buyer understands this and they are the ones being successful in acquiring these homes.

The sheriff's auction has started to heat up and the retail side will follow. With an influx of homes heading to the market in the fall, expect prices to dip again. I have read speculation that the housing market could loose another 20% in value in 2012. I think these numbers are inflated. But there will be a dip. Unless the laws of inflation curve it upward. That won't be good either because that would affect more than the housing sector.

Buying Bank Owned Foreclosures in Kissimmee and Saint Cloud, Florida

Purchasing a Bank Owned Foreclosure in Kissimmee or Saint Cloud, Florida has changed the way buying a house has been traditionally done. The list price is set below market to attract the most buyers. Then the buyers are given the opportunity to input their highest and best offer. Far too many buyers get stuck on the list price as they feel the seller (The Bank) should get nothing more. What the sellers are doing is trying to find the market price. The market price is the amount of money that the public is willing to pay for goods. After all, isn't that what value really is? And who knows what the public is really willing to pay until an offer is made.

So, the sellers are listing their homes below what they perceive is market value and allow the market to bid the house to the value the house is worth in the publics eyes. It is an auction on the free market. This isn't how traditionally homes are sold and buyers are still trying to use the old ways of negotiating with a seller that has to sell as the buyer holds all the cards. Remember, the negotiating is being done by a third party. They don't care if the home is sold or not, just as long as the market demonstrates that they are getting all they can get. This is determined by getting multiple offers and choosing the highest one.

Next time you put in an offer on a Bank Owned Foreclosure in the Kissimmee, Saint Cloud, Florida area, determine what the value is of the house and what is it worth to you to own it. Remember that the list price is not the bench mark, it"s just a starting bid.
