The word foreclosure alone just scares people. You see and hear it everyday in the newspaper or on television. It has put a scare on the entire market. One of things that you do not hear much about though is short sales.
A short sale is when you are able to sell your home with bank approval for less than you owe. Most of the time we are able to do these for homeowners that have had a change in their income, unexpected bills, and unforeseen hospital costs, divorce, and often even before they start to default on their payments. Sometimes it is after or even to the point of a foreclosure notice being sent. Many times we are able to postpone the foreclosure process with the bank to get your home sold, and avoid foreclosure all together. Don't let it go to auction if you can avoid it.
Some of the benefits are that when approved by the bank your home can sell for a price lower than anything else comparable on the market making your home standout and get sold while others just hang out on the market.
Another benefit is although a short sale will show up on your credit report as a relief of debt; it will not affect your credit score as bad as a foreclosure. Many times we are also able to relieve the tax burdens associated with a relief of debt also shown as income. If you plan to ever own another home a foreclosure is not something you want on your report. Some people after they short sale their home are able to relieve enough financial strain to avoid bankruptcy if they were also going down that path.
The numbers for homes going into foreclosure are staggering, and we at Bagent's Agents are trying to offer a solution that will help homeowners avoid foreclosure.
If you know of anyone that may be going through this and could use some help, or you would just like more information in general, please contact us immediately.

Fed to hold Tues meeting on mortgage rule change
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve Board said on Friday it has scheduled an open board meeting on December 18 to discuss proposed rule changes on mortgage lending to address unfair and deceptive lending practices.
The 10 a.m. EST meeting will consider proposed amendments to Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act and the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act.
The Fed has been criticized for failing to use its authority under HOEPA to help home loan borrowers with poor credit histories. It is expected to propose limiting prepayment penalties for those subprime mortgages during the low "teaser" rate periods before rates reset to higher levels, according to sources familiar with the proposals.

Inventory of county homes for sale grows
If you think you're seeing more "For Sale" signs around Clark County, you're right.
The inventory of homes for sale here is the highest in at least five years, according to new figures. A year of sluggish sales contributed to a 12-month inventory of new and pre-owned homes on the market in September, the biggest backlog since records started being kept in 2002, according to RMLS, the regional listing service.
It would take 12 months to sell an estimated 4,595 homes for sale countywide in September if no new listings were added. In August, the supply was 7.7 months; it was 6.4 months in September 2006.
The figures reflect a standoff between sellers and buyers, according to local real estate agents.
"Buyers are in no hurry," said Mike Lamb, an associate broker with Windermere Real Estate/Stellar Group in Vancouver. "Their expectation is that prices will go down."
So far it hasn't happened. The median sale price in September increased to $267,500, compared with $266,000 during the same month last year.
Sellers are waiting it out as well, and some are "holding onto a false sense of appreciation that may not be justified in this market," said Kathy Rylander, also a Windermere associate broker.
New homes account for much of the excess inventory, a situation that has caused a dramatic slowdown in new home building. Locally, the county has issued 1,024 permits for construction of single-family homes through September, a 20.3 percent decline from last year.
"Builders are having a rational reaction to the marketplace," Lamb said. "As things slow down, they're building fewer homes. We're going to have to work the inventory down."
Home construction represents a $350 million piece of the local economy and supports several thousand jobs in construction and related services.
The situation locally mirrors nationwide trends. In September, housing starts fell to the lowest level since 1993, dropping by 7.3 percent to 1.2 million units, according to the U.S. Commerce Department.
New home sales are projected to fall to 805,000 nationally this year, down 23 percent from 1.05 million last year, the National Association of Realtors said last week.
Lamb predicted the Clark County market would stabilize, driven by the area's high rate of employment. Countywide unemployment rates have hovered between 4 percent and 6 percent for the year, near the target of 5 percent considered full employment by economists.
"People have jobs," Lamb said. "There aren't reasons for a really big real estate bust here."
In the meantime, local builders are focusing more than ever before on sales and marketing, said Matt Lewis, acquisition and planning manager for Vancouver-based Pacific Lifestyle Homes.
The sector barely kept up with demand two years ago.
"Now, we're fighting for every sale out there," Lewis said. "It means you need to be at the top of your game. That's what we're trying to do with attractive, well-priced homes in good areas."

Mortgages in foreclosure at record high
The rate of home loans in foreclosure rose to a record high in the second quarter of 2007 as more homeowners in California, Florida and other states could not refinance their adjustable-rate mortgages, a trade group said on Thursday.....

Foreclosures in county mirror national trend
A rise in Clark County foreclosures seems to mimic the national surge in mortgage defaults, although some say the outlook here is not so grim.
A total of 225 Clark County homes were lost to foreclosure through July, up from 138 foreclosures in the same period in 2006, according to data compiled by the Bank of Clark County. The information follows a report that national foreclosures experienced a 93 percent year-over-year increase in July, as overstretched homeowners and home builders with unsold inventory continued to react to weakening home sales and restrictions on lending.
Steady home values here suggest that the local market is stronger than in many other areas of the nation, said Mike Worthy, chief executive officer of the Bank of Clark County.
"The good news in Clark County, particularly, is the value of homes is holding up pretty well, relative to other markets," Worthy said.
At $262,000, the median price of all new and pre-owned homes sold here in July was just slightly lower than the median price of $269,900 for homes sold during July 2006, according to "benchmarks," a Vancouver real estate tracking service.
Compared with more dramatic price softening in other parts of the country, Clark County's fairly healthy values could be a break for overextended local homeowners. Of those, many face an impending mortgage payment increase, a result of initially financing with low-interest adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs. Worthy said some may need to act quickly or risk foreclosure.
"If the value of your home is staying even, you have a chance to make a hard decision, to sell the home and move to something less expensive," Worthy said.
Selling challenges
He and other analysts acknowledge selling will be more difficult for buyers who bought homes during a three-year housing boom that lasted through 2006. Easy financing, or subprime lending, extended during the period allowed buyers to take on greater risk, too much, in some cases, said Dave Dahlstrom, chief credit officer and executive vice president of Riverview Community Bank.
Subprime mortgages were offered "not just to people with low credit scores, but to people who didn't have the traditional 15 to 20 percent down," Dahlstrom said.
The lax credit terms allowed buyers to "move up" into homes priced just beyond their means, Dahlstrom said. Many of those buyers are now trying to sell, a situation that is adding to a glut of higher-priced, $400,000 to $450,000 homes on the Clark County market.
"There are just too many of them," Dahlstrom said.
The total number of homes for sale in Clark County added up to a 7.6-month supply in July, according to Portland-based Regional Multiple Listing Service, up from a 6.1-month supply in July 2006 and a 2.0-month supply in July 2005. The number means it would take 7.6 months to sell all the homes if no new listings were added.
The inventory won't sell off as quickly now because the pool of potential buyers can no longer secure subprime mortgages. Once considered high-yield by group investors, subprime and related "Alt-A" loans are no longer a hot commodity. Rising foreclosures unleashed an industry-wide domino effect among subprime lenders.
"The subprime market has dried up like a desert and the huge mortgage companies across the country are folding like tents," Worthy said.
Increasing foreclosure rates could take a year to 18 months to level out, said Tim Duy, an economics professor at the University of Oregon.
"We could be into 2008 or 2009 before things level out, and I suspect a (housing market) rebound is many years into the future," Duy said. In the meantime, Duy said overstretched homeowners face a difficult climate for working out solutions to mortgage default.
"It used to be banks would be willing to work out a situation," Duy said.
But the banks are not the owners of subprime mortgages, which were bundled into complex packages and sold as investments.
"Now there's no obvious linkage between an investor who owns your mortgage as part of a portfolio of assets," Duy said.
Worthy said potential home buyers will eventually gravitate back to traditional fixed-rate mortgages, products offered by established banks.
Homeowners facing default "need to sit down with a real mortgage professional and evaluate their mortgage contract," Worthy said. "I'm sorry to say some people will find selling the house is the best option

Update
Well we got the weather on the 4th of July that they fore casted. Then the next week we also got some 100 degree weather. We have had some scorchers. Not like other parts of the country though.
Been busy lately so I haven't been able to update the blog. I will get back to it this week. On a personal note last week my daughters team that I coach took 3rd in the State for 12UA softball. Now we have two upcoming national tournaments that we are getting ready for.
The market has been slowed still, but not due to rates. Rates still seem to be holding steady and still very reasonable. Inventory is high so there is something out there for almost everyone.

4th of July weather
The 4th of July weather forecast has always been hit and miss with rain showers. Just earlier this year while I was at a softball tournament getting rained out on a Saturday of the Rose Parade, we were joking how you never try and schedule anything on the Rose Parade day. We also were talking about how Summer officially starts on June 21st, but around here the sun doesn't start until July 5th.
Well this year they are calling for a temperature of over 90 degrees. That would be the first since 1997, and only the fourth time in like the last 45 years. Looks like Summer may come early for us this year. Then again there is still some time for them to change the forecast.
Well I can do is hope, and maybe we will get to use the pool of the 4th.
Happy 4th of July to everyone, and be safe.

Brush Prairie plans gain steam
Here is an article from the Columbian about the development of the Brush Prairie area. As many have been aware the growth will happen, it has just been more of a question of when. I have also heard that the old Boyer's golf course on the corner of 119th ST and 503 will become a Safeway. I would assume this will happen in conjunction with the rest of the development.
"Almost all of the 1,500 homes, townhouses and apartments that developers have lined up to build on Brush Prairie rural land could have the county's preliminary OK by fall. "
Here is the link for the complete story.

Please take a look at all of the things we have made available to you, and feel free to ask any questions, and we will give you the real local market answers, from two agents in your market.
Thank you for visiting the site, and enjoy!
We will posts links, stats, and answer any questions that you may have or want. If there is any information that you would like to see, please feel free to ask and we will find it for you.
