Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Sales Statistics - July 2008

Thursday, August 28, 2008
by The Hat Team

Existing-home sales rose from the first quarter in 13 states, largely from buyers responding to discounted home prices, according to the latest quarterly survey by the National Association of Realtors®. Nearly one-quarter of metropolitan areas showed rising home prices in the second quarter from a year ago, with greatly mixed conditions continuing around the country.

In the second quarter, 35 out of 150 metropolitan statistical areas1 showed gains in median existing single-family home prices from the second quarter of last year, while 115 had price declines. NAR’s track of metro area home prices dates back to 1979.
NAR President Richard Gaylord, a broker with RE/MAX Real Estate Specialists in Long Beach, Calif., said foreclosures are distorting the price data. “In many areas with large concentrations of foreclosure sales, homes are being purchased below replacement cost values,” Gaylord said. “Many buyers with long-term expectations are getting exceptional value in the current market. Once the inventory is drawn down, price pressure will return because the costs of construction are rising – today’s buyers are very well positioned to build wealth over time.” National Association of Realtors®.

Let’s take a look at the sales statistics for July 2008 to see how the Montgomery AL real estate market looks:

In Midtown Montgomery, pending sales decreased 18% in June 2008, compared against June 2007.  Likewise, the number of sold listings dropped 21%.  The average sales price decreased 9% to $131,446, and homes remained on the market for an average of 7 fewer days this June.

Positive News For Alabama Real Estate Market

Monday, August 18, 2008
by The Hat Team

We hear so much doom and gloom these days, I wanted to share with you information from one of our most trusted lenders, John Herzog CMB, Vice President/Regional Manager:

Last week was a very good week for interest rates and this week has begun on a positive note. It would appear with lenders applying better credit standards and underwriting guidelines that we are regaining the confidence of mortgage investors from abroad as well as domestically.

I am very encouraged that we have seen the bottom of the housing slump in Alabama and in fact we are at the beginning of leading the nation back to stability in the real estate markets.

Some areas of the country will continue to decline for months to come, but for the vast majority of America, and especially Alabama, activity and new loan applications are on the increase. Stay positive and have a great week.

If you are ready to take advantage of the bottom of the real estate slump and buy a Montgomery home while prices and interest rates are low, visit HatTeam.com or give us a call at 800-428-5239.

Montgomery Real Estate: Short Sale Tips

Thursday, August 14, 2008
by The Hat Team
In the current Montgomery real estate market, there has been a lot of buzz around “short sales.” What is a short sale, exactly? A short sale is when a lender agrees to accept a mortgage payoff amount less than what is owed in order to facilitate a sale of a property by a financially distressed owner – in essence, the lender forgives the outstanding balance of the loan.
 
short saleThere are pro’s and con’s to short sales on both sides of the deal. For the seller, credit history is seriously damaged, but not as badly as it would be by foreclosure. Sellers also walk away with no profit, which makes it difficult to purchase another home. For the buyer, the property comes at a reduced price, but it also generally comes with its fair share of problems, and there is a considerable amount of “red tape” to get through to complete the purchase.
 
The short sale buying process can be a confusing one, especially for a first-time short sale buyer. Check out this helpful article from BankRate.com and see 10 Steps for Short Sale Buying below:
 
  1. Identify potential short sales
  2. View the property
  3. Do your research
  4. Find all liens and mortgages
  5. Figure out the financing
  6. Contact the lender
  7. Complete the lender’s short sale application
  8. Assemble the proposal
  9. Negotiate
  10. Close the deal
