I have been a full time real estate agent since 2004. My wife, Kathy, has helped me throughout the years with my business. Over the last several years she has wanted to spend more time with her family and our son Ethan. But working a full-time job, for 11 years, at the Virginia Pilot prevented her from her goal. On Christmas eve she gave our us a wonderful gift. Her resignation letter! Though this was in the planning for some time ( 4 years ), she had to take the leap on her own. Yesterday, she delivered this letter and she began her new career as a full-time MOMMY and real estate assistant and coordinator. Wow 2009 is going to be exciting!

Are Short Sales a better deal than Bank owned properties?
Every Monday, I pull up a lot of interesting information from the MLS. And today was no exception. In Hampton Roads, also known as Tidewater, is made up of 5 cities in this report I will focus only on Chesapeake, Virginia Beach & Norfolk.
Virginia Beach itself is the fastest growing City in Virginia with over 500,000 households and growing.
The Tidewater real estate market is buffered, unlike many other cities, we have a very strong Navy presence. But, even with this we have our share problems too. Currently The Greater Tidewater area has 274 short sale listings & 303 Bank Owned Properties.
The average short sale property in Virginia Beach has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1969 Sqr feet and has an average list price of $292,000. The average List Price per Sqr Ft on the short sale properties is only $144.
The average bank owned property in Virginia Beach also has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and has 1,738 sqr ft with an average list price of $223,000. The average List price per sqr ft on the bank owned property is $130.
During the Month of October 2008, 12 Short Sale properties closed:
Beds Baths List Price Sale Price SP/LP Percent
High 4 3 $799,000 $799,000 103%
Low 2 1 $155,000 $150,000 91%
Average 3 2 $293,496 $288,500 97%
Median 3 2 $247,450 $242,500 97%
From the information above, Average and Median home sold for 3% less than the list price. Most short sales, are priced to sell, usually below the the fair market value.
Looking at Bank Owned properties during the month of October 2008.
Beds Baths List Price Sale Price SP/LP Percent
High 5 4 $679,900 $655,000 115%
Low 2 1 $104,900 $95,000 77%
Average 3 2 $263,714 $247,846 95%
Median 3 2 $239,900 $215,000 96%
Comparing the information between both Short Sale properties and Bank Owned. We see
that the Bank Owned Properties sell for fare less than the Short Sale properties, and at 95% of the list price as well.
First this tells us that the banks get less when they sell properties than do the current owners when a Short Sale is used with a professional real estate agent.

A quick overview of the Kempsville Area of Virginia Beach
Virginia beach Real Estate has not taken a nose dive, it is leveling off. The average detached home sale in February 2006 was $286,000 up almost $10,000 from February 2005 and $60,000 from February 2004 . We are not seeing the drastic rise in real estate sales that we had in the years past, but on average we are seeing a small rise. It is also worth noting that we have a lot of homes in our inventory, and the days on market have gone from days to months.
