With the news released yesterday about the new 90-day moratorium, home sellers are given another chance to get their home sold (in the event they choose not to modify).
In the last several months, banks have been very lax about dealing in a productive way with short sale properties. With the second moratorium in the last 6 months, this may just be what banks need to realize they must deal with distressed home owners. While some home owners may wish to modify their current loans, this will give others who wish to sell the ability to do so.To successfully sell a short sale in this market, a home seller must find a real estate professional experienced in dealing with banks in these situation. In my personal experience, the banks DO NOT like 3rd party negotiators. Sellers beware when it comes to hiring a company that asks for money upfront. This process can efficiently be handled with the right real estate professional.

Foreclosure Moratorium…What It Could Mean to You! It is expected that more than 80,000 foreclosed homes will be hitting our markets soon. No one knows exactly when…
In January as an effort to stimulate the housing market, a moratorium was placed on foreclosures by the Obama Administration. As of April 2009, the moratorium has ended. What does this mean to you? It depends on your personal situation.
For Some It Could Mean:
- Opportunities to buy your first home, second home or investment properties at “artificially” low interest rates.
- $8,000 Government rebate on your taxes if you are a first-time homebuyer with qualifying income and purchase prior to 12.31.09.
For Others It Could Mean:
- Making your last efforts to modify your current home loan.
How You Might Get Help:
- If you are in default and you currently have a Countrywide Home loan, they have just released a product that might help you refinance your property. It requires NO income documentation as long as you are employed!
- If you are looking to buy homes at these low rates, for investment, primary residence or second home, you can receive up-to-the-minute reports on every bank owned property in the areas & price range of your choice.
