Finding Home Market Value

Two of the most frequent questions asked from potential home buyers are "How much should I offer for this house?" and "What are normal and acceptable concessions from the home seller?" There are, unfortunately, no stock answers to those questions. Unlike other businesses (major purchases where prices are negotiable) Real Estate does not have an established selling price nor a specific set cost. There is no MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) or "Set" cost for a house. Therefore, it is impossible to give "standards" as to Home Value and either fair or normal. Every property stands on its own price, condition, terms and merits.

As an example, it is not uncommon to have two very similar properties in the same neighborhood or area with two different prices. This may be due to differences in the condition of the homes, or amenities or the motivations and perception of value from the seller. The following table is a simplified example of what you may find in a given area. The neighborhood average is for homes that have SOLD and CLOSED in the prior months. Although there are some variations in size and age between one property and another, we'll assume that they are in similar condition and have basically the same amenities per price range.

Staying current with the Sonoma County Real Estate Market
Start your research by browsing the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and track home values as well as how many days on market a home or property has been listed.

When you receive listings, usually via email, you can then go and map out the exact location and see the property and neighborhood. Additional information you will need can be sent to you as you are deciding on which home for sale may be your preference.

A good list of homes mapped out to view along with driving directions will help determine position and location to area amenities you may be interested in. If you are searching the Santa Rosa Luxury Home market you may need to see what schools are close and where the shopping centers and etc. are located. Country properties usually require driving distances you may need to consider.

For mapping resources and seeing exactly where a home is situated online maps and driving directions will be your best resource. Here are an example of two of the online map and direction sites we recommend. Google Maps and Bing Maps.

Sonoma County Real Estate Market Update:
We are starting to see a bit of a slow down in the real estate market. More and more short sales are for sale with sporadic foreclosure homes coming to market. The activity in the fall of '09 was due largely based on a tax credit being given to first and not so first time home buyers.
Sellers are starting to get realistic setting a listing price so as to compete with the the real estate that is "moving" or selling. Buying a home now while rates and prices are low is attracting some buyers into the market.
Researching the Sonoma County Area Real Estate market to find value is how most buyers are able to find a home that suits their needs while being competitive on price. Going forward we anticipate some price appreciation as long as mortgage and home loan rates remain low.
You can find Sonoma County Home Loan Information by clicking this link. We will show you how to make a wise purchase at a competitive price.
The Santa Rosa home market which comprises most of the real estate activity in Sonoma County as a whole is an excellent barometer and "pulse" of buying and selling activity. Santa Rosa is one of the larger cities in our area and is a great way to use the knowledge of statistics and info as our Home Market evolves.

Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)

2010-02-08T18:10:00.000-08:00

Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)

On November 30, 2009, the Treasury Department released guidelines and forms for its new Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA). HAFA is part of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). HAFA provides incentives in connection with a short sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (DIL) used to avoid foreclosure on a loan eligible for modification under the HAMP program. Servicers participating in HAMP are also required to comply with HAFA. A list of servicers participating in HAMP is available at MakingHomeAffordable.gov.

HAFA applies to loans not owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, which will issue their own versions of HAFA in coming weeks.

HAFA is a complex program, with 43 pages of guidelines and forms, designed to simplify and streamline use of short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure. HAFA:

Complements HAMP by providing a viable alternative for borrowers (the current homeowners) who are HAMP eligible but nevertheless unable to keep their home.
Uses borrower financial and hardship information already collected in connection with consideration of a loan modification.
Allows borrowers to receive pre-approved short sales terms before listing the property (including the minimum acceptable net proceeds).
Prohibits the servicers from requiring a reduction in the real estate commission agreed upon in the listing agreement (up to 6 percent).
Requires borrowers to be fully released from future liability for the first mortgage debt (no cash contribution, promissory note, or deficiency judgment is allowed).
Uses standard processes, documents, and timeframes/deadlines.
Provides financial incentives: $1,500 for borrower relocation assistance; $1,000 for servicers to cover administrative and processing costs; and up to $1,000 for investors for allowing a total of up to $3,000 in short sale proceeds to be distributed to subordinate lien holders (on a one-for-three matching basis).
Requires all servicers participating in HAMP to implement HAFA in accordance with their own written policy, consistent with investor guidelines. The policy may include factors such as the severity of the potential loss, local markets, timing of pending foreclosure actions, and borrower motivation and cooperation.

The program does not take effect until April 5, 2010, but servicers may implement it before then if they meet certain requirements. The program sunsets on December 31, 2012.

We are hoping this program will solve the foreclosure crisis affecting our nations housing market as well as the national jobs outlook. Real Estate in Sonoma County has been devalued as a result of on going distressed property sales and should find relief with this program.

Pending Sales Going Up

2009-12-03T09:24:00.000-08:00

Short Sales in Sonoma County, Santa Rosa, Windsor area have been plagued by long delays, and pending home sales is always the feel good headline, but looking back to actual closed sales show a different story. If you are watching the market, Keep an eye on this.

Thank You NAR, even our perennial cheerleaders cant argue with a chart.. just hedge a little bit.

Quoted aka Cut and Paste.. :) And one more thing from Lawrence Yun: “There is likely to be some double counting over a span of several months because some buyers whose contracts were canceled have found another home and signed a new contract to buy,” Yun explained. “Perhaps the real question is how many transactions are being delayed in the pipeline, and how many are being canceled? Without historic precedents, it’s challenging to assess.”

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - in some trouble again
This is not widely publicized, but Fannie Mae is asking for an additional $15 billion in government aid after posting a $19.8 billion loss. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own or guarantee almost 31 million home loans worth about $5.5 trillion, or about half of all mortgages.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), another government agency, is heading for the same kind of financial trouble. The FHA has insured about 1 out of 4 new loans made this year. 17% of FHA borrowers are at least one payment behind, or in foreclosure.

The short sale solution is one many are considering given the status of the real economy. Short sale relief is how most home owners are finding a solution to the money crunch.

Keep in mind that Fannie, Freddie, and the FHA are struggling despite the third quarter being the best quarter for real estate prices in quite a while.
Of course, large housing agencies are just reflecting what's happening throughout the country. Median home sales prices declined in 123 out of 153 metropolitan areas year-over year, or 11%.

Short Sales - The Long View

2009-11-02T18:08:00.000-08:00

What is a Short Sale - A "short sale" or "negotiated settlement" or "short pay" occurs when a Lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed as a payoff. If the property is worth less than the amount owed on the loan, then even if the Lender forecloses and takes back the property, they know they are going to take a loss. In Sonoma County and Santa Rosa Ca we are starting to see banks want to help the sellers of distressed properties.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? The short sale negotiation process is a lengthy one. It may take 30 days or more to get an approval from the Lender to discount the loan. Many Lenders have several layers of bureaucracy, insurers and investors that have to approve the short sale. They are increasing their loss mitigation departments to deal with the substantial advancing increase in foreclosures, and each loss mitigator may be working on as many as 400 files. So it is important to be patient during this process. Typically, using an aggressive loss mitigation company to conduct the negotiations, a short sales will take 4-6 months from Notice of Default to final close to a new Santa Rosa Home buyer.
