I was sitting in a local restaurant by myself for lunch this week when I overheard two gentlemen talking about foreclosure properties. Both of these men had their own opinions regarding the market and where to find the best deals. It was interesting listening to both men’s opinions and interesting enough, both of them were wrong. It is amazing how many people claim to be subject matter experts but have no formalized training or accreditation to support their hypotheses.

According to national statistics there are approximately 2,203,295 foreclosure filings and about 1,285,873 foreclosed properties on the market today. The substantial increase in foreclosures has flooded the supply of available properties which then forces home values to decrease. We all learned about supply and demand in high school economics class and many home owners are feeling the effects today.

Finding that deal may not be as easy as it may seem, you need to look beneath the dirt. Understanding the value of a home, cost of repairs and legalities of submitting an offer is critical and you need the help of a licensed Real Estate Expert to navigate you through the foreclosure maze. Get with a Realtor team that has the resources and connections to help you with every step of the purchase transaction.

Great Realtors, or as I call them the top 1%, will have a “Dream Team” that will be able to work with the client. They will have a solid mortgage broker, a reputable property appraiser, a reliable insurance agent, a mold consultant, a conscientious property inspector, an esteemed general contractor and a renowned ASP certified staging professional. Being able to go to one Realtor and obtain all the necessary professionals to complete a transaction is critical.

Having a team of these professionals will reduce your exposure of making a mistake and buying a home that is not of value or has too many substantial repairs to make it worth the investment. It is important to use a professional Realtor who is experienced, trustworthy and a true professional.

Here are some essential tips you need to know when you start your foreclosure prospecting.

Pick out a geographical area that you would be okay with living, even if this is a property you plan on using as an investment. It is easier to rent a property with outstanding schools, shopping and amenities. Understanding and qualifying the benefits of a surrounding area will ensure you are picking a good location. A Realtor can provide you with any additional information you may need to pick the area. Understand and research the average dollar per square foot for homes in the area you are looking. If you are looking at foreclosure properties that are $ 39 per square foot and the average home price is currently selling for $ 52 per square foot are you getting a great deal? The truth in the matter is that if the property you are looking at is a 3 bedroom, 2 baths, and 2 car garage property and is 1700 square feet, your deal is only $ 22,100 less than the average home price. Now add into that your repair cost then ask yourself again is this a good deal. If your repair cost in this example exceeds 50% of the difference, you are probably better off not purchasing a foreclosure and going with a turn key property. Understand the foreclosure law in your own state. You can research this easily enough on the web. You should know the difference between Foreclosure by Judicial Sale and Foreclosure by Power of Sale. You will need to pick a 1% Realtor to assist you in selecting properties. They will listen to what you are looking for and search for homes that exceed your criteria but still within your price range. They will be able to conduct a market analysis on the area to provide you with sales data of homes that sold in that area. They will also arrange for all the showings and provide you with listing flyers that give you pertinent information. And as stated earlier, a 1% Realtor will give you access to their Dream Team of real estate professionals. Once you narrow your search down, you will need to determine an offer. How much should you pay is a question that your Realtor should be able to help with. Extremely inexpensive homes that are substantially lower in price than the market average maybe the best buy depending on the repair cost. The only other advice I can give on making an offer or bid is you need to be decisive and take action. I have had several clients second guess the market and like the two men from lunch determine that the market has not hit bottom yet and that there are better deals out there only to have the right property sold from right under their noses. The great deals don’t stay on the market long so you need to be able to act fast. Most banks require proof of funds or for you to be pre-qualified before you bid or make an offer on these foreclosed properties.

The bottom line is there are great deals beneath the dirt of a foreclosure. Having a vision of what that looks like for you as the buyer is important. Understanding what you are looking for in a property a year from now is the perspective that you need to have. Many clients that buy homes spend money on remodeling, changing out carpets or cabinets, or putting in new floors. If you are going to go through and spend money on a property improving it to your taste why not get that property at a bargain-basement price.

Only in Byron Bay

I loved this story of a property in the Byron Hinterland being sold in the $mil and a half region. It seems the potential new owners discussed the purchase with their psychic Geomancer – this is like a Feng Shui expert. They were told that the vendors were not yet ready to leave this property and that they should wait for a more auspicious time. When told this news, the vendors did what any sensible Byron property owner would do – called in their personal shaman for a full psychic cleanse and sage smudging. Negotiations are now proceeding smoothly.

Lo Doc Loans and Tax

For some time now the ATO have been rattling their swords over Lo doc loans. It seems – Shock! Horror! – some people have been exaggerating their declared income when going for a loan while minimizing it when filing with the tax Department. It is understandable, I suppose, that the ATO would wish to tax the Great Australian Tax Payer at the higher figure if given the chance and this, apparently, is what they intend to do.

A recent story from Crikey.com states the commissioner of the ATO Michael D’Ascenzo is saying he knows that people are fibbing on their Lo Doc Loan declarations and declares that if any are caught during an audit then the higher figure will be what is the taxable amount. Of course brokers have been made out to be the baddies in this situation as well but the real story here is this is just another indication of the coming tightening of monetary policy. If Paul Keating was still around he would say this is the “credit squeeze we have to have!”

Put out the “Fire Sales”

In a similar vein, our local member Don Page is behind a move to stop Mortgagee-in-Possession auctions going on as “Fire Sales”. The banks and agents are only interested in getting back the mortgage debt when someone defaults on their loan with no interest in helping the vendor retain as much equity as possible. If the new law is accepted it means that if a house is sold under value, the Mortgagee can be held accountable for the balance and all effort must be made to properly promote and list the property (not just ring up a mate and do a deal!)

Buyer’s Market

Domain.com pointed out that last weekend there were twice as many properties going to auction in Sydney than normal – about 1300 – nearly double the previous average of 590. However clearance rates have sunk to 63%, which is the lowest since August 2005. That is a statistic verifying my intuition that we have quickly turned from what was expected to be a boomer season for agents into a bit of a bear market. The future – no one will predict but I feel the sentiment is equal between those saying we will have a soft 6 – 12 months to the doom and gloomers saying we are in for an extended rough patch.

With so many ups and downs happening in all the sectors due to global economic slowdown, investments in Indian real estate is the hottest topic for discussion. This phase of slowdown is also witnessing mass developments in real estate sector. Everyone is touched by one of the aspects of selling, buying or renting property. Apparently, changes in behavior of consumers and financial firms can be seen with the changing trends in unprecedented times.

Each one of us is generally involved in property related issues of investing, leasing or selling. Since it is difficult to take these decisions and there is some amount of risk involved, we mostly depend on property brokers and the prevalent word of mouth. These tendencies are now facing a make over with the ever growing internet penetration and the constantly increasing internet users. With user base exceeding 50 million, online property portals are set to revolutionize the real estate sector.

Real estate portals in India introduce a completely new way of sending across property related information and transactions. The developed real estate markets abroad are accustomed to the concept of online portals but it is comparatively new for Indian sellers and buyers. Even as the popularity of these portals in India is growing, it is expected to burgeon in the coming years. Number of listings and conversions of both residential and commercial property is multiplying everyday. Moreover, the feedback of both buyers and sellers of real estate in India has been favorable.

Online property portals are a platform for exchange of information relevant to property. They display residential and commercial property listings; buying, selling and renting options; other recommendations for property registrations, property loans, property laws, property news, etc. This newly developing trend of portals has made internet an acceptable as well as effective medium for real estate transactions. Both property sellers and property buyers find this medium highly cost effective, descriptive and extremely helpful.

For real estate sellers i.e. the supply side Internet is useful in more than one way. It can be noted as following;

Advertising on internet allows more descriptive ads as against space restricted print ads.
It enables lower costs as compared to other modes of advertisements.
It offers various add on features like virtual walk through, uploading video clips, online databases, archives of listings, etc.
Internet is the most interactive way of advertising as it connects the sellers with the potential buyers through chat messengers, etc.
It extends more exposure to targeted buyers and offers measurable returns.

The real estate buyers i.e. those who stand on the demand side of property also find internet a feasible way of looking for property because:

It is convenient and time saving to search for available property online than visiting real estate agents and waiting for their response.
Portals reduce dependability on third parties as all the information and listing are available online.
 There is no limitation to number of properties available as property agents are generally popular within a particular area.
The search and comparison between properties according to localities, etc has become effortless as portals are doing that too.
Buyers can soon make online transactions, see featured galleries and walk through vacant properties.

The current times witness tenants and landlords interacting in a high tech way. The concepts of ‘automated transactions’ and ‘smart buildings’ is gaining popularity on this front. Apartment owners and commercial builders welcome automated rent payments, placing of work order requests online, display of facilities management, etc.

Creating a system that blends bricks and clicks is instrumental in changing the face of Indian real estate sector. Internet connectivity and meeting of buyers and sellers online only further enthuses the property market.

The ultimate motive of every human being is to lead a happy and peaceful life, a life, which in itself is motivation for the person to move on and enjoy his presence on this earth. Being contended, optimistic and joyful, allows a person to achieve his goals and helps in fulfilling the dreams. The struggle to lead a calm and holy life is something which has become a daily routine for every individual. A person has to put in a lot of efforts to be able to acquire the three basic essentials of life.

The basic three amenities for leading a successful life are food, water and shelter, though a lot more things have been added to these elements, shelter or personal home is one of the most challenging things to accomplish. A person has to work all 24 hours to earn his living and with the increase in competition, one has to prove his potential everyday and achieve more than the said targets to maintain his position in the organization. Also with the fluctuations in the market, jobs are no more left with the tag of being permanent. Performance, results and profit are the keyword on which the job industry works these days.

To own a house, a house which entirely belongs to a single person, which one can decorate and maintain according to his choices and likings, is a dream of every individual. Every person wants to get rid of rental homes, where he does not have any control over its structure and style and have the restrictions to shape his lifestyle in accordance to the rules of the landlord. Houses on rent or living on rent basis is a major trend all over the world. People migrating from one city to another or from one country to other, in search of job always take the option of taking a house on rent. They prefer taking apartments on rent due to the time period they have to spend there, which is in most cases for a short span.

Not only individuals opt for an apartment on rent, but people having families also go for rented houses due to fact that owning a house is a major concern for families as it involves a large amount of money. Its not that families do not want a personal home, but with the rise in the price of commodities, saving money, for the future and purchasing other big assets is becoming difficult. Buying a house is a savings in itself, as it allows a security of a permanent place of living for the individual and his family.

Purchasing one’s own house saves the money given to the landlord as a rent, though that money may go as a loan installment for house loan but still, each loan installment would lead the person, a step closer towards owning his apartment. This would be counted as a form of saving one does for his future because the money which he is paying as a loan is used for the ultimate goal of buying a house. The dream of having one’s own apartment is equivalent to a farmer’s ambition of buying a piece of land, which enables him to earn his livelihood.

The owner of the house is not only the king of his life, principles, lifestyle, but also he can use his apartment as the source for taking other business or personal loans. The apartment can act as a proof of security and credibility for the person’s financial status and family background. To start a business, one needs loan from the bank, for which he has to show the assets he own, and a personal apartment is the best asset to prove your capability for the respective loan.

Also, a permanent or a personal apartment is the place where a person is the ruler of his life, he does not have to follow strict regulations of his landlord, like time bounds, music usage, parties, friends, etc. So, one should always try and grab the opportunities of owning a house rather than living in the shackles of the landlords.

Ranchi is the capital of a decade old state, Jharkhand. Jharkhand is known worldwide for housing first private Iron and Steel Company of India, Tata Steel. The most industrialized cities of the state include Jamshedpur, Bokaro and Ranchi and so, they attract a lot of migrant population from various regions. This migration has cultivated growth of real estate in Jharkhand.

Ranchi, being the capital city, is witnessing huge growth in its real estate sector with high investments pumping in. Real estate in Ranchi is soaring high with property prices growing almost five times in last five years. The investments by real estate developers and land owners are already bearing fruits with reaping of such great returns. Depending on locality, the rates of property, today, varies from Rs. 1,200- 1,700 per square foot in comparison to Rs. 400-500 per square foot five years ago. The hike in prices is proving expensive for locals but government is taking steps to ensure that they do not face the brunt of these developments.

Jharkhand State Housing Board is planning to develop various residential and commercial space establishments jointly with private builders of the area. The construction of various multi-storied apartments and commercial complexes is in pipeline across the state with Ranchi alone in possession of 19 plots. Since, government plans to develop Ranchi real estate in collaboration with private players like Parsvnath Builders, huge investments in this sector can be foreseen. The most interesting feature of the city is its natural beauty full of surging hills, little streams, calm lakes and brooks that together form a picturesque sight. It has retained its traditional touch in spite of moving towards modernity swiftly with large number of developments taking place. Beautiful waterfalls and rich tribal culture are among its other major attractions.

The tremendous growth in Ranchi has led to a boom in retail sector as well with leading retailers such as Reliance Fresh, Big Bazaar, Spencer, etc. opening up their outlets. Malls, five-star hotels and multiplexes are also under construction indicating the growth rate of hospitality sector. There is also a proposal for industrial expansion on 350 acres of land along with setting up of SEZs, educational institutions and healthcare facilities. The growth in IT industry and tourism activities has high potential for bringing in the economic boost in the city.

The vision set for Ranchi is to make it a ‘model capital city’ and 6Rs (of Redevelopment, Rejuvenation, Rehabilitation, Restoration and Preservation, Restructuring and Reforms) have been set in this line. The population of the city is expected to reach 15 lakhs by next year and the government seems to be all geared up to word towards making Ranchi ‘a symbol of progressive Jharkhand’. It has come up with a City Development Plan (CDP) that identifies land for new sub cities which would require 6400 hectares of land in order to accommodate growth till 2021. In addition to this, strengthening of management systems for urban planning, disaster mitigation, environmental management and management area also needs attention according to CDP. The government is also focusing on improving other amenities related to water supply, sewerage and sanitation, solid waste management, storm water drainage and urban transport. It is also chalking out plans for heritage conservation and tourism development, disaster management, effective urban governance, basic services to the urban poor, sustainability of investments and various other important issues.

With such commercialization of the city and improving living standards, Ranchi is gaining its position as a lucrative investment option. The positive push to both residential and commercial sectors has largely benefited the real estate of Ranchi.

If only the walls could speak… Solana Beach Homes would have a lot to say. Full of history and character these homes are beautiful and absolutely modern in every sense of the word.

The area today known as Solana Beach was originally occupied, like much of the United States, by Native American tribesthe first of these in known history were the San Dieguitos. They came around 9000 BC from eastern California and Nevada on the trail of the animals they hunted: mastodons, bison, and camels. The San Dieguitos were replaced in the Solana Beach area by the La Jollans which eventually must have followed their prey on down to Mexico who lived on seafoods and seeds. The La Jollans, in turn, were either replaced or simply absorbed by the Kumeyaay, who hailed from the Colorado River region and also liked their fish, as well as acorns and nuts.

Then came the Spanish, arriving in 1769. Control of the land passed from the Spanish to the Mexicans and eventually to the United States; California was officially admitted to the Union in 1850, but the Solana Beach area was still largely dominated by the old Mexican land owners, known as the Californios, until the 1860s. Solana Beach, originally dubbed “Lockwood Mesa,” had its first Anglo settlers, the George Jones family, in 1886. Oldest remaining house in Solana Beach is the Stevens house. The house was built in 1887 or 1888. Grandma Susannah Stevens lived there until her death at just short of 105 years of age in 1927. She wasn’t the first historical resident of the Solana Beach area to live to a ripe old age; another settler, Grandpa Frank Knowles, lived to be 104. Maybe it’s that sea air.

Today, the Stevens House is located in La Colonia Park and is the home of the Solana Beach Heritage Museum.

The building of the Lake Hodges Dam in 1917-18 and the 1918 creation of the 12,000-acre Santa Fe Irrigation District spurred the rapid development of Solana Beach. It began to boom in the ’20s, and in 1922, Colonel Ed Fletcher bought 140 acres from George H. Jones to develop the town of Solana Beach. Solana Beach became known as a center for growing avocados.

In 1925 Independence day, access to the beach was needed for development so hydraulic water pressure was used to create the local favorite Fletcher Cove Beach.

Late 1960s and throughout the 1970s other changes have made their marks through the years from the Depression and World War II to the construction, with the revival of the money market, of hundreds of premium Solana Beach homes. The Solana Beach Women’s Club, which became the Civic and Historical Society in 1989, renovated the central plaza and installed the “Sun Burst Fountain,” among other beautification projects. Solana Beach was officially incorporated in 1986, and it has since acquired two community centers and a train station.

Solana Beach homes have history; don’t you want to be a part of it?

Condominiums in the Tampa and Clearwater area have become a popular choice for those seeking to buy second homes, real estate investments, or for those desiring a break from outside maintenance and upkeep. This is due to the multitude of benefits associated with condominium living. Combine those benefits with the beauty, abundant sunshine, pristine beaches and coastline of the Tampa Bay area, and attractions like: Busch Gardens, Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World and you have a winning combination that pays for itself again and again.

How so you might ask? Why should you consider a condominium over a single-family dwelling for example? When you buy a single home, you will need to purchase homeowner’s insurance to secure financing from most lenders and also to protect yourself from loss due to fire, theft, etc. When you purchase a condominium, the insurance is included as a part of the monthly maintenance fee; most lenders therefore, don’t require you to purchase separate homeowners insurance policy.

If you buy a single-family dwelling you will have to maintain your home and your lawn yourself, whereas, condo owners can spend their time doing other things while someone else mows the lawn and cleans out those gutters! Upkeep and maintenance are included in the Condominium’s maintenance agreement, and these owners are more than happy to pay a monthly fee in order to not have to worry about getting these things done themselves. 

For the most part, condominium maintenance fees are reasonable when you add up the costs involved and how much it would cost for you to hire someone to do these things for you.  On the Florida beaches you will find higher condominium maintenance fees and this is because there is simply much more maintenance that comes with owning a home near the ocean.  On the other hand, owning a condominium slightly inland can save you a lot of money on the purchase as well as the monthly maintenance fees.

The safety of your family and the security of your real estate property are of course, very important to you. While the owners of single-family homes may choose to equip their homes with expensive alarm systems, most condo owners have the benefit of gated security, which provides 24 hour protection, even when you’re away. Such security also makes it harder for the “unlawful” to spot an unoccupied dwelling. Single homes, whose owners are away, are easier to detect due to such things as: uncut grass, no lights on in the home, and no activity around the home. At a condominium complex, there is always some kind of activity, which helps to conceal that you’re away from your property.

Condominiums provide some pretty terrific amenities right there on the property. Some of those amenities are: fitness rooms, pools, spas, restaurants, hair salons, tennis and golf to its residents. It would be impossible for a single home owner to duplicate some of these amenities and cost-prohibitive to acquire some of these amenities.  Keep in mind that the more amenities there are in a condominium, the higher the maintenance fee can be.  It costs money to keep up the amenities for the residents to enjoy.  Amenities are what makes condo living so popular though.  In the long run, the more amenities the condo has, the more saleable and desirable the condominium will be on a resale.

Real estate investors will find that some condominiums, depending on the condo restrictions, are easily rented out short or long term. If you and your family use your condominium only part of the year, consider leasing it out for additional income for yourself. Have your real estate agent check the restrictions for you before making an offer for purchase.  Not all condos are alike on this policy.

Now that you know about the many benefits to owning a condominium, add the undeniable value that owning a condominium in the Tampa Bay area of Florida’s West Coast holds for you. Now you will have a place to escape to when the temperatures up north get down right cold! You won’t ever have to worry about no vacancies at hotels, and resorts either. The beach and ocean with bountiful amounts of sun are at your doorstep. Your Tampa or Clearwater area Florida Condo offers you the opportunity to get away from areas that are overcrowded with tourists, and yet you’re only a short drive from Florida’s most popular attractions. If you’re looking for a way to make some additional income, consider renting out your condo unit when you head back north in the summer.

Contact your Tampa Bay area realtor today to get started on finding the condominium property that meets your needs. They can assist you whether you’re looking to buy a first or second home, a retirement home, or investment property.
