MAKING MONEY IN THE HOUSING MARKET MEANS YOU HAVE THINK AHEAD
MAKING MONEY IN THE KISSIMMEE/ST CLOUD FLORIDA HOUSING MARKET MEANS YOU HAVE TO THINK AHEAD, BUT ACT NOW. What separates a successful person from one who always seems to just miss the mark? Timing. Timing is the key component which defines when something will work; and when it won't. The timing for those people just before the market rose to historic and epic heights did very well. Those you waited and jumped in at the end; did not. As the Kissimmee/St Cloud Florida housing market malias drags into its fifth year; most people are wondering when it will bounce back. The truth is: it won't. If you are waiting for your property to triple its artifiscal value last seen in 2005-2007 you aren't looking at the key component which is timing. The new stratedgy is not about cashing in short term. But rather, long term holdings. What has changed since 2007- Everything! The market has stalled, loans have stricter guidelines and qualifying has been made much more difficult since the loose lending practices of 2007 contributed to the housing market crash. More families are in economic distress, and foreclosures have reached a five year inventory level in shadow inventory. What this means is that there will still be a demand for housing, but not new construction. The demand will be in rentals. Short sale applicants, victims of foreclosure and young people looking to branch out on their own-will create a larger demand on the rental market. Rents have been rising, at a slow controlled pace for two years. Foreclosed properties, have been scoope dup by investors and are being held as long term income producers. The double dip recession is far from over. In fact, it's predicted to continue for another 3-5 years. Property Owners who are converting their investments into rentals, will have a base of demand for at least that long. That is three to five years their properties wil continue to generate income regardless of what the market does or does not do. At which point, when they consider selling, they will have realized a substantial gain on their investment.
FSBO- FOR SALE BUY OWNER CAN YOU REALLY SELL A HOME BY YOURSELF?
FSBO- CAN YOU REALLY SELL A HOME BY YOURSELF? While it is possible to sell your home yourself, and you may do this 3-4 times in your lifetime, a professional Realtor® does this several times a week. A FSBO is an acronym for For Sale By Owner. Typically FSBO sellers are: Homeowners who dislike professional Realtors. They may have had a bad experience; or do not want to pay a commission for someone to sell their home for them. (Thinking they will save a lot of money ) Did you know that7.9%of Homeowners who have tried to seell their home and failed eventually wil lseek professional Real Estate Services? And that of the ones whoDIDsell their home they received on average 9% LESSthan they would have had they hired a Realtor® to assist them? That's right-their NET (money in pocket) was several thousands dollars LESS than it could have been. Maybe the benefits outweigh the cost?EXACTLY WHAT DO REALTORS DO?
St.Cloud Kissimmee Florida SHORT SALE FORECLOSURE UPDATE
St.Cloud Kissimmee Florida Homes Sales Rose Slightly in March 2011.- A very modest increase in sales reported in March 2011, of 3.7%, does mean homes are selling. On the low end of the price spectrum particularly. Buyers who are looking to purchase homes under $100,000 will have compeittion in that price bracket. WHAT IS DRIVING THE SURGE? Lenders are not releasing the large amounts of REO/Foreclosed inventory they are holding. Early on the rush to foreclose on property, bloated bank inventories to historic levels. With nearly 5 Million properties having been foreclosed upon, lenders tried to recover some of the losses by dumping them in the Real Estate Market. This caused downward pressure onthe prices. Foreclosed Properties typically sell for much less than traditional sales, or the the middletier of Short Sale Properties. Short Sale timelines have been streamlined. Consumers who were frustrated by long waits (months inmany cases) are discovering that lenders are more willing to work with distressed home owners toachieve short sales than they were previously before the Housing Market hit crisis mode. Thanks to Legislative Reform, and tighter guidelines, lenders are more efficiently processing Short Sale Applications allowing the property to change hands before the gavel drops. Buyers are responding well to the changes and more short sales are closing as a result. SO is NOW the Time to Buy or Sell Your St. Cloud Kissimmee Home? Absolutely! Mortgage rates are under 5% and altho0ugh credit standards have tightened, it is still possible to get a home loan. There are still a few Federally funded loan programs available as well, such as a the Rural Housing Loan Program for low to moderate income families.
