Relay for life in Lexington SC Amercan Cancer Society

This year, I am helping save lives from cancer by taking part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, and I’m hoping you will support me.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives people across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event, because cancer never sleeps.

Relay For Life helps raise much-needed funds and awareness to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer and create more birthdays.

Surge in short sale requests unlikely to impact housing market
Although short sales are likely to increase in 2010, the jump in these transactions is unlikely to have any real impact on the housing market, according to a new study by Housing Predictor. While more at-risk homeowners are turning to short sales as an alternative to foreclosure, Housing Predictor says the small number of short sales that are actually approved by banks represent less than 1 percent of all homes facing foreclosure. In the first half of 2009, only 40,000 short sales were completed, according to the most recent data available from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency shows.In addition, Housing Predictor said only an estimated 8 to 12 percent of all homeowners who request short sales accomplish a completed transaction. Because lenders only write off short sales as a loss when a property is sold, this small percentage of completed transactions leaves a gaping hole in the troubled banking industry's problem with short sales.

US HOME SALES UP

U.S. Home Resales Up 9.4%;

Resales Hit Highest Mark in More Than 2 Years; Median Prices Down 8.5% From Last Year

(CBS/AP) Updated at 10:19 a.m. EDT U.S. home resales rose far more than expected last month to the highest level in more than two years as buyers scrambled to complete their purchases before a tax credit for first-time owners expires. The National Association of Realtors says sales rose 9.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.57 million in September, from a downwardly revised pace of 5.1 million in August. Sales had been expected to rise to an annual pace of 5.35 million, according to economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters. The median sales price was $174,900, down 8.5 percent from a year earlier, but the smallest annual drop in 13 months. The greater-than-expected jump in resales may have been fueled by booming foreclosure sales in cities like Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas. "There's a mini-boom going on in the housing market," said Thomas Popik, of research firm Campbell Communications. First-time homebuyers and investors are snapping up those homes and taking advantage of low mortgage rates. These buyers can also take advantage of a tax credit of 10 percent of the sales price, up to $8,000, if the deal is completed by the end of November. The tax credit is so important to some buyers that they are adding a clause to their contracts, allowing them to back out if the sale doesn't close by Nov. 30. While home sales and housing construction have risen steadily after hitting bottom earlier this year, most economists believe that the worst isn't over for home values. In August, the median price was $177,700, down from the peak of $230,300 in July 2006, but still above the bottom of $164,800 in January, according to the Realtors group. Prices could see a double dip because rising unemployment is having a ripple effect on foreclosures. The jobless rate, currently at 9.8 percent is expected to rise as high as 10.5 percent next year, causing more people to be unable to afford their monthly mortgage payment. Unemployment Figures Cloud Recovery Hopes "There's more supply that's going to come into the marketplace," said Stan Humphries, chief economist at real estate Web site Zillow.com. "That additional supply will outpace demand." Some signs of softer prices may already be appearing. A government index released Thursday showed U.S. home prices dipped 0.3 percent from July to August. That drop "supports our view that the housing recovery will be slow and bumpy," wrote Paul Dales, U.S. economist with Capital Economics. With concerns about the housing market still prominent, Congress is considering several proposals to extend the tax credit for first-time buyers. Senators Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., want to extend it through June 30, and expand it to include all home buyers, at an estimated cost of $16.7 billion. One potential roadblock, however, emerged this week. There are concerns that some of the 1.5 million applications for the tax credit are fraudulent. At a hearing before a House subcommittee Thursday, J. Russell George, the Treasury Department's inspector general for taxes, questioned the legitimacy of some 100,000 claims for the credit, potentially including some illegal immigrants and 580 people under 18. The youngest taxpayers to apply for the credit were 4 years old, his office said. While the program has widespread support in Congress, there are growing concerns about the costs. The cause, said Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., "is a worthy one." But "I hope we can find ways to pay for it."

Short Sale Lexington, SC

Last year I had clients wanting to buy a short sale home. The contract was ratified mid July and we finally heard from the bank after my clients had given up. They had waited close to 4 months. My client selling his home in a short sale has been assured by his bank that they can give an answer back to the buyers in less than 30 days. What a difference a year makes! Completed short sales in the first half of 2009 was up over 208 % over the first half of 2008. Banks are understanding that the foreclosure process does not bring a higher price than a simpler, less costly short sale.

Negotiating Tips for Buyers and Sellers

NEGOTIATING TIPS

FOR BUYER AND SELLERS

Rule #1:
Do not go back and forth between the Buyer and Seller more than 2 times in negotiating. The 1st round is about the home and getting it sold or bought. The 2nd round it is about money. The 3rd round it becomes about who wins and becomes personal. The end result becomes lost in the negotiating.

Rule #2:
Buyers and sellers must not dislike each other. You must make sure that the agents and the buyers and sellers don't talk about each other. Focus on the putting the deal together.

Rule #3:
Stay focused on the goal of completing the sale. Keep emotions, personality, and personalities away from the transaction. Stay relaxed, cool, calm and collected. Don't let the negotiations and concessions interrupt the goal of the transaction.

Rule #4:
People believe what is in writing. Everything that is negotiated or discussed be put in writing so that there will be no uncertainties. Verbal uncertainties can not be upheld in any court. When things are put in writing make sure they are written with zero grey area, because "Error falls on the Scribner".

Rule #5: When you negotiate concessions make it a two street. If you want something, give something in return. This goes back to Rule #3 and #5. Negotiating can be sometimes considered a team sport. When both sides do some give and take, it makes the negotiating more successful.

Rule #6:
Never respond to negotiating or offers to quickly. This can come off as eager, and anxious. Make all decisions and negotiating done in the time frame of the contract but don't make it seem that is was not cut and dry and simple. Eagerness can make you look weak.

Rule #7:
Never brag or gloat about the terms in the contract or disclose material facts to anyone prior to the closing. This can hinder future negotiating of concessions. Clients are less likely to work with others when they think they received the short end of the deal.

Rule #8:
When you work on a contract and hit a bump in the road or a wall, stop and work the other terms of the contract. You can not try to fix multiple issues at same time. Negotiate through the entire contract and then come back to the bump and focus on one singular issue. It is easier to solve one task at a time.

Rule #9:
Do not loose trust with the buyers,sellers and the agents. Trust can carry allot of weight. When trust is lost, buyers and sellers second guess all negotiating and concessions.


Rule #10:
Never disclose that you have any time pressure. This is a sign of weakness. Work the transaction as if time is not an issue. If you use time as part of negotiations, you say to the other person that you will do what ever needed to get it done in the time frame that you need.


All these rules work don't work all the time. Some of the rules work all the time.

These are not set in stone, but have worked in the past over the last 10 years in the Real Estate Business. For more information contact Edwin Gerace mail@609sold.com or http://www.edwingerace.com/ or follow him on twitter at www.twitter.com/edwingerace

Comments about Home Inspections from Edwin Gerace and Kip Craig of Columbia SC

Home inspections on homes is something I used to suggest, now days I am requiring them on homes. Not to promote the industry but to protect my clients. I feel very strong that having a professional look over your largest investment you own is something that needs to be done.

What are most common maintenance issues you see when inspecting a home?
Some of the easiest items to maintain often cause the most expensive damage. Most common are clogged gutters leading to drainage problems and wood rot/decay. Not keeping trim and caulking maintained around doors and windows causing wood rot/decay in these areas including inside walls and sub-structure in crawl space. Small plumbing leaks that are often not corrected until is too late.

What are the largest misconceptions about home inspection?
I am sometimes asked to create and inspection to be used as a maintenance or wish list to present to the seller to make the home perfect. The home inspection is a tool to help the client make decisions regarding their purchase and to give them understanding of the general condition of the home at the time of the inspection.

What do you look for generally in a home inspection?
A thorough inspection will cover: Electrical System, Water Heater, Plumbing System, HVAC, Attic, Insulation, Ventilation, Roof and Flashing, Gutters, Basement, Crawlspace, Foundation, Grading, Siding and Trim, Driveways and Walks, Ceilings, Floors, Walls, Doors & Windows, Chimney, Fireplace, Major Appliances, and More


What do you say to people that say they don’t need one in new homes?
They are making a mistake. Just this week I inspected a 2 year old home where the 1st floor hall bathroom tub drain had never been connected to the main drain. For 2 years the tub drained into the crawl space and the owner never it. I have several stories just like this one. The home inspection fee would have been much less than the plumbers repair bill.

How long does it take for a typical inspection?
It all depends on the size and condition of the home. A typical inspection takes between 2 or 3 hours.

Can you inspect a home that is not for sale but for persons ease of mind?
Yes, We are often asked to inspect homes for homeowners that are interested in properly maintaining their home and protecting its value by finding problems while they are small and less expensive to repair. It is also becoming more common for homeowners to have there homes inspected prior to listing their home for sale. This prevents surprises later when the home goes under contract.

Where would I search for a home inspector outside Columbia ( List or group)?
Google or use your favorite search engine. Also your real-estate agent often can supply you with names of several Home Inspection companies to choose from in your area. Then take the time to interview them. Check list of inspectors at associations such as ASHI and NACI

What is a question to ask a home inspector prior to hiring him/her?
I recommend calling and interviewing any prospective Home Inspector prior to hiring. As you know purchasing a home is possibly the largest invest someone will ever make in their life. Always ask these 4 questions:
A. What licenses do you hold. - Just a home inspection license is not enough, multiple licenses are recommended such as Home builder, Architect, Engineer
B. How many Home Inspections have you performed. Experience counts any number less than 2000 he is a rookie.
C. Are you or your company insured and bonded.
D. When do I get the inspection report. On-The-Spot reports are the best. Most home inspectors carry laptops and printers and print full color reports with pictures at the time of the home inspection. This will allow the inspector to review the report with and answer any questions while he is with you.

NOTES ABOUT MORTGAGES IN TODAY'S ENVIROMENT by Edwin Gerace and Kip Murphy

NOTES AND CONVERSATION ABOUT MORTGAGES IN TODAY'S ENVIROMENT.
(June 1,2009)

What are the largest changes that face the Home Buying process?
One of the biggest changes for buyers looking for a conventional mortgage in today’s market is the importance of their credit score. Just two years ago it was an all or nothing system. If you were approved for a conventional loan you got the same rate whether your credit score was 620 or 740. Now the difference in rate for these two buyers would be more than a point or cost the 620 buyer 3 discount points to get the same rate as the 740 buyer. Also, buyers with less than a 660 credit score no longer qualify for mortgage insurance, requiring them to be able to put down 20%. This is the primary reason FHA loans are becoming more popular. If a borrower qualifies, there is no minimum credit score and everyone gets the same interest rate. The FHA loan limit for most of SC, including the Columbia Metro Area, is $271,050; so buyers needing a larger loan need to do their homework upfront and make sure there are no errors on their credit report which could be impacting their score.

What are interest rates going to do in the future?
It is always dangerous to try and predict which way interest rates will go, but generally they will increase as the economy improves. Most people think the FED sets mortgage rates and expect rates to go up and down based on FED policy. This is not true. Rates are impacted by the FED’s action, but are actually determined by the bond market. Generally speaking, if the stock market is improving, investors shift money from the bond market to stocks. This requires bond sellers (Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac) to offer higher yields to sell their bonds which they must then pass on to the end consumer in the form of higher rates. So to answer your question, if the economy has really started to turn the corner, we can expect rates to rise as well.

When is a good time to refinance your home?
Assuming that the only reason a borrower is considering refinancing is to lower their rate, there is a pretty simple calculation to determine whether it is a good time or not. The first question is always “how long do you intend to keep the property?” Once you determine this, you simply divide the cost of the new loan by the monthly payment savings to establish the break even period. If this is a shorter time frame than how much longer they intend to own the property it is probably a good financial decision. An example would be someone with a $200,000 mortgage thinking about refinancing from a 6% rate to a 5% rate. The monthly savings would be approximately $125 month and the closing costs without points would be around $2500. This borrower would break even in only 20 months, so most borrowers would benefit from this refinance. It can be a little harder to determine if the borrower wants to pay off other debts, include renovations, or drastically reduce or increase the pay off time of their current loan. Most mortgage professionals will be happy to assist someone with the decision without any charges.

Has the loan approval process over last 90 to 120 days on loans changed?
The process is definitely taking longer and more documentation is being required than at any time in the last ten years. Borrowers need to be prepared for this upfront and realize the importance of getting the process started as early as possible if they are trying to achieve a specific closing date. The reason it is taking longer is two fold. As the mortgage industry was shaken to its core over 2007 and 2008, many lenders began to lay off thousands of support personnel or failed all together. By the end of 2008 there were approximately 60% fewer lenders and workers in the mortgage industry. At this time mortgage rates fell to their all time lows, creating a rush of business. This coupled with legislation giving first time buyers tax credits and an improving economy left lenders overwhelmed with business. Still reeling from losses the last two years and leery of the duration this business surge would last, most lenders decided not to bring on more employees due to training times and costs. The new requirements in credit policy also added to delays. The more documentation that is required, the longer it takes to be reviewed in underwriting. Fewer people, more business, and more documentation requirements caused some loans to take 60 days or more to get approved. The good news is that most lenders have now increased staffing and improved efficiencies so that most purchase loans can be closed in 30 days. You should still expect 45 to 60 days on refinances, but this should improve too if rates continue to rise.

Are there any True 100% financing programs out there?
In general there are no longer any 100% loans available. A few exceptions are Rural Housing and VA loans, but these loans are only available on certain properties or for military personnel. FHA has the lowest down payment requirement of the non-income restricted loans at 3.5% and can be used by qualified borrowers up to $271,050 in most of South Carolina. Borrowers should also do their homework on any available down payment assistance programs. Most of these are available to first time borrowers at or below the median income and work well in conjunction with FHA loans. Another good option for buyers needing 100% financing is to consider buying a HUD foreclosure. These can be purchased with $100 down using a FHA loan.

What are the top 2-4 factors that effect buyers buying/ credit score numbers?
Credit scoring is very tricky to predict for even the most seasoned loan officer, much less the general consumer, but there are a few things buyers should know. Revolving credit balances should be below 50% of the limit and preferably below 30% of the limit. Judgments and collections do hurt a credit score, ironically though, if they are over two years old it may be better to leave them alone unless it is required for loan approval. Inquiries do not have near the impact most people think as long as they are not excessive. One thing most people don’t realize is that borrowing from finance companies actually hurts your credit score even if you make your payments on time. Finally, anytime you open a new loan your score will go down until you establish a payment history. So if you are thinking about getting a mortgage it is advisable to hold off on getting any other new credit.
