What type of real estate market are we in? On one side of the street, we hear the doom and gloom about how many houses are on the market, the falling home prices, the extended Days on Market, the tightened credit markets, and on and on. The other side of the street is much more optimistic and comforting. On this side of the street we are hearing of this opportunity to purchase a HOME at a great price, the fact that Uncle Sam is offering an $8000 credit to First Time Buyers and $6500 to Move Up Buyers, the fact that Interest rates are at an all time low, the fact that there is a great selection of properties on the market, the fact that if a property is priced correctly it will still sell fairly quickly, and the fact that buyers who could not be in the game as little as 2 years ago can now afford to purchase a HOME.

Ok so some of the doom and gloom is valid. We do have a housing crisis. Good people got themselves into bad loans and unfortunately are loosing what every American works so hard for most of their lives, (their HOME). The unemployment rate is also close to the all time high. People are loosing their homes, their jobs, and worse yet, their way of life. How can you find any optimism in that?

The optimistic view is more or an Opportunistic one. If there is a possibility that you may loose your home you have an opportunity to save it. Foreclosures can be stopped. If you are in trouble and having a hard time paying your mortgage, try renegotiating with your lender. The lender does not want to foreclose on your home. They would be crazy not to try to work on a new payment for you or lower your rate. You also can call a REALTOR and have them help you with a short sale of your property. While this is a bit complicated it is sometimes the only way to sell your home if you owe more than it is worth. If you bought your home a few years back and have some equity in it, make sure to price it right from day 1. I can assure you that it will not sit on the market for as long as you think.

So what type of Market are we in? A good Market? A bad Market? We are in your Market. This market is what you make of it. It is a fantastic market for buyers if they use their head and Buy Smart. It is also a fantastic market for the seller that can price their property correctly and get it sold fairly quickly to a buyer that sees a great opportunity to purchase a HOME at a good price.

But what type of market is it for the people in the red? The folks that owe too much on their home, or have an interest rate that is higher today than it was yesterday, or worse yet, the people who can no longer afford to pay their mortgage payment because the income is just not adding up.

The Market for these people is tough to put into words. These people need professionals around them. They need the assistance of a trusted REALTOR, an experienced Attorney, or maybe even a savvy Accountant. These people need to see that there is an alternative to Foreclosure. There is help out there. There is an Opportunity out there that allows them to get in touch with professionals that will work hard to save what they have worked so hard to keep. While it is unrealistic to expect that everyone can be helped in this unfortunate housing situation, it is realistic to expect that everyone in this situation at least try.

Use this Market as an Opportunity. Your Opportunity.

All the best,

Manny "the REALTOR"

This article was written by me in March of 2009 and is still valid for the market that we are seeing today. If you or someone you know is having a hard time making their mortgage payments, please give me a call at 401-323-8292. I have short sale negotiators on my team of professionals that will work hard to save your home from foreclosure.

Social security surplus? GONE! First time in its history!

Oh NO! Social Security surplus is GONE! First year this has happened. It is being attributed to the recession. With so many layoffs, employees have taken early retirement by accepting a "golden hand shake" or by having no choice.

This crisis was coming but it was rushed by the recession. So, the question is "now what"? A social security bail-out is inevitable. And they may raise the retirement age again. If medical technology can keep us alive an extra 10 years, we should be able to work an extra ten, right?

Where does all this bail-out end?

Keeping you updated on the market!

MARKET RECAP

To belabor the obvious, all real estate is local, so parsing the national data can be of limited use. That said, homebuyers nationally returned in greater numbers at the end of last year, according to the NAR and its Pending Home Sales Index, which increased one point to 96.6 in December from 95.6 in November.

That number alone means little. What matters are trends in individual markets. On that front, some encouraging, meaningful data can be gleaned. Home sales in hard-hit Phoenix hit the highest level in four years in December, with total home sales increasing a 12 th consecutive month, according to data from MDA DataQuick.

Meanwhile, in even harder-hit Las Vegas , the December home sales volume was at its highest level in five years, though the action is still dominated by foreclosure resales. Of the 5,317 new and resale houses sold in December, 63.3% were foreclosure resales, but that's still an improvement from 64.2% in November.

Does this mean that the national foreclosure numbers will become less alarming? They may, or they may not: Home-loan delinquency reached 10% in December, according to Lender Processing Services. Accounting for foreclosures in the pipeline, the total non-current rate stands at 13.3%. When extrapolated for the entire mortgage industry, 7.2 million mortgage loans are behind on their payments.

The good news is that 2009 vintage loans are performing much better than any of the prior five years, which means we are likely experiencing a pig-through-a-python environment. As the older vintage loans work their way through the system, foreclosure rates should improve.

But nothing – tax credits, low rates, low home prices – will turn fortunes quicker than employment. Fortunately, the latest numbers are improving. The unemployment rate dropped to 9.7% in January, even though employers cut 20,000 jobs. This apparent paradox leads to the common question: how could there be fewer payroll jobs if the unemployment rate declined?

Lower participation in the employment market is the rote answer, but it's a little more complicated than that. Unemployment data are compiled from two separate surveys. The unemployment rate comes from the Current Population Survey, a monthly survey of about 60,000 households, while the jobs number comes from Current Employment Statistics, a sample of approximately 400,000 businesses nationwide.

The good news is that the aggregated data are generally positive: the unemployment rate declined, average hours worked grew, the percentage of part-time workers fell, and the employment-population ratio rose.

Economic Indicator	Release Date and Time	Consensus Estimate	Analysis
Wholesale Trade (December)	Tues, Feb. 9, 10:00 am, et	1.0% (Increase)	Moderately Important. Growing sales and inventories portend continued economic growth.
Mortgage Applications	Wed, Feb. 10, 7:00 am, et	None	Important. Refinances continue to set the pace, but purchase activity is improving.
International Trade (December)	Wed, Feb. 10, 8:30 am, et	$36.5 Billion (Deficit)	Moderately Important. A strengthening dollar is stabilizing the deficit.
Retail Sales (January)	Thurs, Feb. 11, 8:30 am, et	0.5% (Increase)	Important. Sales remain volatile, though the recent trend is mostly up.
Consumer Sentiment (February)	Fri, Feb. 12, 10:00 am, et	74 Index	Moderately Important. Employment gains should be reflected in improved consumer sentiment.

Why Don't We All Just Walk Away?

When economists aren't predicting the future, they spend a good deal of time studying behavior. For instance, they've been studying why individual borrowers don't walk away as frequently from their homes as corporate borrowers walk away from their properties. They point to Tishman Speyer Properties and BlackRock Realty, which recently turned in the keys and defaulted on $4.4 billion in loans on their hopelessly underwater Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village residential properties in New York City .

The economists believe more of us should be acting as rationally financially as Tishman Spreyer and BlackRock, and when we do, the foreclosure numbers will spike.

There are at least three faults in extrapolating business behavior to individual behavior. First, individuals aren't profit-maximizing firms. We, as individuals, value many things as much as money – happiness, health, continuity, and community comes readily to mind. Second, individuals suffer from the endowment effect: We tend to value things we own more than they would be valued in an arms-length business transaction. We get emotionally attached, in other words, and there are few things we are more emotionally attached to than our home. Third, individuals can't hide behind the anonymity of a corporate aegis. Reputation and fulfilling obligations are ingrained characteristics, which is why we are loath to just up and walk away.

We say all that to say this: Individual motives differ from business motives. That's why we are confident in saying that as long as we continue to see improvement in employment – the final determiner in fulfilling obligations – we will continue to see improvement in not only foreclosures but home prices and sales volume as well. It's simply in our nature.
