Karl answered:
Mike,
At the risk of sounding somewhat self-serving, I believe that this is the best time to buy. Over the course of the next 12 months this is what will likely happen, I believe:
1. With the government lending out so much money, lending will become tighter and interest rates will climb. Each point of increased interest will raise the monthly cost of a home, making it harder to get.
2. Home inventory is still high, providing buyers with very good choices, but as the short sales and foreclosures get sold off, the selection will decrease and prices will start to move upward.
3. New home construction for 2009 is expected to be at its lowest levels since post WW II. The cost of new homes is expected to climb, but as fewer new homes are available, the cost of resale homes will climb, too.
Feel free to visit my website at http://docmooney.org or give me a call and we can talk more about it. - Mon Nov 3 2008, 14:11

Ellie,
In addition to working with home buyers in the New Smyrna Beach and Bethune Beach areas, I also cover Ormond Beach. Let me know which homes you are interested in and I will check them out for you and provide you not only with information via the Multiple Listing Service, but also with information that you might not otherwise be able to gather.

is this 1203 Bent tree or another house on that street?

Karl answered:
Beth,
1203 Bent Tree Drive is currently on the market. It is owned by the lender who acquired it on April 24, 2008. It was put up for sale on September 23, 2008 with an asking price of $109,900. The previous sale with a warranty deed was on January 30, 2001. The selling price for this home at that time was $76,000. That is where RealtyTrac is getting its suggested price. If I can be of help, please call me or visit my website and leave a message. Thank you for your question. Karl "Doc" Mooney - Thu Oct 16 2008, 03:20

Question removed

Karl answered:
I can certainly understand your frustration. Very few people expected the severe downturn the housing market has endured for the past two years.
To answer your question, yes, you may be able to short sell your second property. You must first check with your lender. Many lenders now have all the forms you will need to prepare available of their website.
To find the information, go to the internet, find your lender's main website. In the search box type in "short sale" or "REO". REO stands for "real estate owned". That means the bank owns the property. Call your lender or send an email. Make sure you get all the information about the persons you speak to (name, title, phone number, email address, mailing address, office location). Contact a local Realtor, and list your property. Before a lender will permit you to short sell your home, it must be listed on the MLS for 30 days. Be prepared to state all your assets to the lender and your Realtor. You will also need to prepare a letter in which you authorize your Realtor to speak with your lender on your behalf. Your Realtor may also advise you to have an appraisal done of your property so you price it as the current market dictates.
Feel free to call me if you have any other questions. - Thu Aug 7 2008, 19:41
