Fannie Mae announced a suspension of all foreclosure sales and evictions of occupied properties through March 6 in anticipation of the Administration's national foreclosure prevention and loan modification program.
While Dow Jones Newswires reported that JPMorgan Chase, Citygroup, Bank of America and Wells Fargo have committed to temporary moratoriums (suspends) on foreclosures as the government works on a financial stability plan aimed at keeping people in their homes.
The following are briefly what was announced by major lenders -
JP Morgan Chase - New Owner-Occupied residential loans that are owned and serviced by JPMorgan Chase. As with Fannie Mae, the moratoriums will remain in effect through March 6th.
Citigroup - All Citi-owned first mortgage loans that are principal residence and on loans for which understandings with investors have been reached. Moratorium end date - March 12th.
Bank of America (also Countrywide) - Delay foreclosures sales on owner occupied properties whose mortgage loans are owned and serviced by BofA or Countrywide - Through March 6th.
WellsFargo (also Wachovia) - For Loans it holds. The moratorium is expected to remain in place until the government's foreclosure prevention plan is announced. The majority of WellsFargos mortgage loans are serviced by it and owned by other investors. WellsFargo is working with their investors .. to determine how to support the moratorium request.
Most of the lenders plan to evaluate and extend their specific moratorium dates depending the progress made by government.
See complete article below:
Fannie Mae Suspends Foreclosure Sales Pending Administration Announcements
From CNN of Dow Jones Newswires - Bank Agree to Foreclosure Moratoriums
Hopefully the suspension of foreclosures and the government bail out plan will allow at-risk home owners to keep their homes and stabilize the housing industry.
Where should the buyers look when there is no REO (Bank Owned) on the market? Look at Well Priced Homes (many sellers have dropped price considerably due to the softening market www.2197Vineyard.com), Short Sales (yes, short sales require hard work, lots of patience but very rewarding) and get an agent who is diligent in looking for homes, strong in negotiation to help you find that perfect home.
Perhaps one day when the economy is stronger, we can take a collective sign of relief and cheer for the stable economy, strong housing market and solid job market where all can have a stable job, good income and own their home and fulfill their American Dream Once Again!

Fannie Mae today announced a suspension of all foreclosure sales and evictions of occupied properties through March 6 in anticipation of the Administration's national foreclosure prevention and loan modification program.
See the News Release in this link...
As a Realtor in Marin County, I have witnessed in January and the first part of February that there is a slow down of fforeclosed as well as short sale homes in Marin (although Marin County's foreclosure rate is much lower compare to the rest of California) due to previous suspension of Fannie Mae foreclosure sales to the end of January.
This can be a two-edged sword where it can be a good news for home owners who have been facing competition with REOs and short sales properties and have seen big price drops on their properties; but it is, on the other hand, tougher on the buyerswho are taking advantage of and start getting used to the idea of buying REO properties.
A simple Rule of Supply vs Demandsays that as supply of REO / Foreclosure homes gets lower, the price of existing homes for sale will go up, at first, temporary, and hopefully, with the successful implementation of the new Bail Out Plan, permanently.
Coming from a difficult Marin Home market, I both rejoice in the saving of the existing home owners and their families who are losing their homes due to the subprime mortgage they have, toughen job market, and the unstable economy; I am also sorry for the buyers who might finally be able to move into their first time home due to the declining housing market and now may or may not be able to........
Where should the buyers look when there is no REO (Bank Owned) on the market? Look at Well Priced Homes (many sellers have dropped price considerably due to the softening market www.2197Vineyard.com), Short Sales (yes, short sales require hard work, lots of patience but very rewarding) and get an agent who is diligent in looking for homes, strong in negotiation to help you find that perfect home.

Frank Howard Allen Client Service Award Recipient For Consistently Living Up to The Highest Standards of Service
We wanted to say congrats on all your recent listing activity. You are doing a great job in a difficult real estate year. We appreciate your team player attitude and feel fortunate to have your work ethic on our team. Fondly, Kathleen Hilken, (General Manager), Larry Brackett (CEO), Noreen Smith (CFO) - Frank Howard Allen
You have been working so hard and have a great attitude considering the challenges in the market. So proud of you that you fought and sold 6 Anthony Court. You will do well in the coming years and each challenging transaction will make you a better agent. Spiro is really in your court and very proud of your accomplishments. Keep up the good work. Fondly, Joe and I would like to thank you so much for your help this past year. We sincerely appreciate all that you did to complete the short sale of our Novato condo. As we look back on 2008, we are so thankful that we contacted you to help us. With everything that is happening in the real estate market these days, we felt extremely fortunate and lucky to have been able to sell our condo and avoid foreclosure. I know many other people have not been as fortunate. Your willingness to help us navigate the short sale process and take on this challenging situation is a tribute to you and your commitment to clients. You gave us great confidence (and relief) as you took control and worked directly with our lenders to get our petition for the short sale accepted. Then, through your diligent efforts, successfully put our condo on the market during a difficult time. You were always there to answer questions and we appreciated your sincere concern and advocacy for us with the lenders (and buyers). I know it took a lot of work and time on your part and we really appreciated it. We would gladly recommend you to any of our family or friends. We sincerely believe that without your efforts, we could have not been able to successfully complete the short sale. As in the purchase of our condo in two years earlier, your help was invaluable. Thank you again for your help and your commitment to us. We wish you a very successful 2009.
Sylvia,
Sylvia,
Larry Brackett (CEO/Owner), Noreen Smith (CFO), Kathleen Hilkin (GM) - Frank Howard Allen Realtors
Dear Sylvia,
Sylvia - Much thanks for your expert real estate advice. You helped us close the escrow as well as moral support. Frank Howard Allen is lucky to have You!
Warm regards - Suzanne and Bruce

My wife, Cindy, and I have recently contracted with Sylvia Barry as a representative for the sale of our home at 49 Dowitcher Way in San Rafael, California.
Sylvia worked diligently to market and to complete the sale. We have been extremely satisfied with the results of her efforts. She was instrumental in obtaining a great price (more than we expected) and very quickly, as well. Additionally, we found her to be very easy to work with and formed a close association during the time we spent together.
We highly recommend Sylvia as a realtor who truly cares about providing good service to her clients

I first met Sylvia Barry when I interviewed her for a Project Manager position at the Insurance Company I worked for. We worked together for several years afterwards until we went separate ways. When I decided to sell my house and move to Arizona, Sylvia told me that she had become a Realtor and would love to represent me.
She brought the same skills I had admired when she was a project manager to the job of real estate sale person. Thoroughness, attention to detail and follow through, making sure everyone did their jobs correctly and on time. There is an incredible amount of contractual requirements and paper work involved in selling a house. She made sure all the forms were prepared correctly and signed by all the necessary people. She also added the here-to-fore unknown to me skills of a home decorator, making suggestions as to how we could make our home more attractive to prospective buyers.
All in all, the home selling process was made much less stressful by Sylvia's skill and competence. When we got eight offers, seven over asking price, she suggested we take the best two, and ask one of them to be a backup offer. This turned out to be very foresightful, when our first offer fell through. We had already made an offer on our dream house in Arizona, and would have lost it if Sylvia hadn't been prepared.
I would highly recommend Sylvia as your Real Estate Agent. She is honest, hardworking and very competent, the best I've worked with.

We met Sylvia Barry during our first open house when we tried to sell our property in Novato by ourselves. Many realtors came out to meet us, but Sylvia stood out in the crowd. She was pleasant, straightforward and unassuming.
After we realized that we needed professional help to sell our property, we hired Sylvia to represent us.
Sylvia sold our house within two weeks. Through her hard work and persistence, we received multiple offers for our house. Sylvia guided us through the paperwork with patience and she was thorough. While the loan application and house appraisal was processed, Sylvia made numerous contacts with the buyer's agent and loan officer on our behalf. She displayed honesty and integrity. She never pressured us into any deal with which we were not completely comfortable. In the end, we were completely satisfied with the process of selling our house.
We have no hesitation to recommend Sylvia to you and are looking forward to have her represent us again in the future.
* We had to get the house appraised again so I can re-finance. It is now $779K. Thank you for helping me find this house. By the way, my mother's neighbor is planning to sell their house; I told them that they should use you. I am going over this weekend and I will tell them about you again.
* Sylvia: I really appreciate your ownership, professionalism and customer-oriented approach towards this. Sorry that you have to deal with pressures from both sides. I am planning to not just reimburse your expenses, but as I mentioned, give you a very well deserved commission and more.
* I want to said thank you very much for providing so much information. I'm deeply appreciated. I'll keep you in mind for my friends who are interesting in buying or sale real estate in Marin. I think you are very knowledgeable and resourceful about the real estate business.
* I will say that I have had several experiences with real estate agents and you are our favorite. We appreciate the information, communication, and quick responses...... We need an agent as diligent as your are in this area. I hope you can help.
* I just wanted to thank you one last time for helping us get our wonderful house. We are loving it so much and it means so much to be there this holiday season....
* So I mentioned that I have a great agent if she ever needs one...... I also had two showers, one for baby and one for bridal. All these occasions are best to rave about you. I even gave two of your cards away.
* Sylvia did a great job finding a tenant in such a short time and in a slow season..... Special thanks to Sylvia. On Saturday, She drove one hour from her home to the property to clean up the dust left from floor finishing guy. She spent 4 hours here..... Thank you, Sylvia, you've done a great job.
* You, I trust completely. In any business dealings we have had, you have never done anything that you thought was not in my best interest.
* Photos look awesome. Love the 1st MLS one with the leaves framing the entry. Sylvia, thank you so much for putting as much of your time in on our rental as you would a multimillion dollar house sale.
* Sylvia, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your helping me out. I know you are going way beyond what you would normally do for your clients. And we've only met once. We don't even have a history. Thank you again. I feel relieved that I can put the house on the back burner and concentrate on the trip and know that I won't have to worry while we are gone.
