Inventory Falls ----- Homes Prices Rises ---- Notices of Defaults Falls -- Existing Homes Sales Rises ---

The total inventory of homes available without pending or contingent offers, down 63.4 percent from one year ago to 4,162. Homes prices rose for the third straight month in April while inventory falls. Based on current demand, our housing supply is down to about four to six weeks, according to Kolleen Kelley, President of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. GLVAR reported 83% of homes listed this year in Las Vegas, NV are sold. See my blog List vs Sold Comparison . Notices of default plummeted with the number of bank-owned homes on the market drops to less than 800. NOD filings dramatically shows the direct correlation of inventory of homes currently for sale. See my Notice of Default Blog. Home prices continue to face upward pressure until inventory improves in the coming months. Existing homes sales remain ahead of the record pace set in 2011 even with fewer homes for sale. April sales were up 3.3 percent from the same month a year ago. Stay Tune!!!!!!

Las Vegas, NV Single Family Homes List vs Sold Comparison

According to Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors (GLVAR) Sales/Market Statistical data, 83% of homes listed in Las Vegas, NV are sold this year. For Condo/Town-homes, it is 86% of units listed have sold this year. Four years ago, 2008, these percentages were 41% for SFH and 28% for condo/town-home. This statistical data shows once again that we are facing a Seller's market. See my blog on Las Vegas Notice of Default Filings. The shrinking inventory of homes for sale with the high percentage of homes being sold will continue to pressure upward pricing for Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, and surrounding communities. The inventory/market will show some significant changes this summer, hopefully for the better..... Stay Tuned!!!!!.

Las Vegas median list price is $165,000. This is the upward pricing pressure mention in my first, North Las Vegas, Week-N-View blog. Supply and Demand. More sales demand and fewer homes listed contributes to the increase in prices. Homes sales continue to outstrip supply.

Foreclosures Short Sales Real Estate Blogs!

This important information was sent out to short sale agents with in Bank of America's data base. I have used the homes affordable foreclosure alternatives program for my clients in many of my short sale transactions. If accepted, this program will not only help the seller to obtain up to $3,000 for relocation fees. This program will also assist the seller with having the deficiency difference between the net amount owed to the bank from the short sale and the original loan amount waived. This program can be a win win situation for many homeowners. Under the HAFA program you are required to work with a Realtor. Give Steve Queen a call with any questions at (202) 367-4348.

Is the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program right for me?

Program goal

The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program was developed to give homeowners a way to settle their mortgage debt without going through a foreclosure.

The goal of this program is to help you sell your home in a short sale and settle your mortgage debt if you owe more on your mortgage than your house is worth and are unable to qualify for a home loan assistance program.

This federal government program streamlines the short sale approval process and offers financial assistance to help you with relocation.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program if:

the property is your current principal residence, OR the property has been vacant or rented out for less than 12 months, and you have not bought another principal residence during that time.

the amount you owe on your first mortgage for your property is equal to or less than:

$729,750 for 1 unit
$934,200 for 2 units
$1,129,250 for 3 units
$1,403,400 for 4 units

you owe more on your home than it’s worth

your current mortgage was taken out on or before January 1, 2009

you are experiencing a hardship (such as a job loss, divorce or medical emergency) and are unable to afford your current home loan

How will the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program affect my credit?

If you are not eligible

Program at a glance

Step 1: Call us to request a HAFA short sale and update us on your current financial situation. We’ll review your information and check your eligibility for a Home Affordable Modification or any other home retention program that would enable you to stay in your home.
Step 2: If you don’t qualify for a modification and want to sell your home, we’ll work to gain approval of your first mortgage HAFA short sale request. If you have a second mortgage with another lender, you will have to ask them for approval.
Step 3: You will be given time to market and sell your home — typically 120 calendar days. You are required to work with a licensed real estate professional.
Step 4: Once you receive an offer, you have 3 calendar days to submit a Request for Approval of a Short Sale document as well as the offer letter. We’ll get back to you with a decision on the offer within 10 business days.
Step 5: If the offer is accepted, your house is sold and your mortgage and any other loans against the home are settled from the proceeds of the sale.

Get more details on the steps of a HAFA short sale.

Get Started

How do I get started with a Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program?

Before we begin

To start the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program you need to call us to request to sell your home in a short sale.

If you haven’t applied for a Home Affordable Modification prior to requesting a short sale, we’ll check to see if you meet that program’s eligibility requirements first. To do this you’ll need to update us on your financial information.

Let us help you

Call Information Sheet » Opens a New Window.

To help you keep track of important deadlines and take notes during the call, please print out this form prior to calling.

Next Steps

Now that I’m in the process, what’s next?

If you’re in the process of selling your home in the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program, we can help you understand what you need to do next.

I have requested a HAFA short sale.

Once you’ve requested a short sale, you’ll have to update us on your current financial situation. As part of the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program, we’ll review your information and check your eligibility for a Home Affordable Modification or other home retention programs that would reduce your monthly payments to enable you to stay in your home.

If you do not qualify for a modification or no longer wish to stay in your home, then we’ll begin to work with you on a short sale.

Are there resources that can help me in areas other than my mortgage, such as finding rental housing?

If my mortgage is not owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, can you help me understand those specific Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program requirements and procedures?

Next. Approval Page.

I’m preparing to put my home on the market.

We’ll need to determine an acceptable price for you to market your home. You may have heard this referred to as a fair market value. To determine the fair market value, we’ll order a valuation of your home.

We’ll also work with all parties necessary to approve your first mortgage HAFA short sale request. Even if you are pursuing a short sale with us, in most cases, there is a third party that has ownership of the loan. We will need their approval in order to finalize the short sale.

If the sale is approved, you’ll receive a Short Sale Agreement with the acceptable offer price for your home. You’ll need to sign and return this agreement to us within 14 calendar days.

If you have a Bank of America home equity loan or line of credit (also referred to as a second lien), we’ll take care of getting approvals for your HAFA short sale request. But, if your home equity loan or line of credit is with another lender, you will have to contact that lender and have them sign a Second Lien Release form before any offer can be considered. To avoid any delays, it’s in your best interest to contact them right away.

NEVADA SUPREME COURT RULING SETS SHORT SALE PRECEDENT!!!!!

Posted by James Webster on April 30, 2012 at 7:15 PM

comments (0)

Any deal signed with a lender after a foreclosure mediation session could be enforced and foreclosure proceeding halted. Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, and surrounding communities currently has 1688 short sales listed. This should be welcome news for short sale sellers. The ruling came about when a Nevada couple borrowed $527,000 in 2006 to buy a home. In 2010 they were in defaulted and faced foreclosure. After meeting with the lender SunTrust Mortgage, in November of that year, the Sellers and their attorney signed an agreement to accept a short sale contract. During the short sale process the sellers balked at competing the follow-up documents. Evidently, the bank wanted to void the short sale contract and complete the foreclosure. Couple sued the lender... ....the court found that holding off a foreclosure during the sale process was of value to the couple, making the deal (short sale contract) a valid contract. The lack of certain documents did not change that..... and because this was a published ruling, it becomes a precedent for state courts. Bottom line here .... this ruling should force a lot of banks to halt foreclosure proceedings once they have signed foreclosure mediation deal/short sale contract. Know your rights and the programs in place to assist you. If you have questions concerning short sales or if you are considering a short sale, please call me at 702-205-7227 today.
