Recovery...Really, Is This The Best Time To Sell?

The last three or four months in California (well most of the state anyway) have been a heady return to the days of multiple offers. Declining inventories have lead to a mini frenzy on many properties. Prices have started to inch up. Don't worry, no one is going to get whiplash from the speed that they are rising but they are indeed rising a little. Homes that are in tip top shape sell first, followed by homes that need just a little work followed by great buys on big fixers in good areas.


[caption id="attachment_2151" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Sales Surge In California[/caption]


This trend has bypassed  properties with high Homeowners fees, it has also excluded most condos - Single Family homes are the darlings of the current market.  Great prices on homes/condos have had the negative effect of making the HOA fees really jump up and hit buyers in the face.  Ironically, it is the best priced condos that often have the worst time of it. While many people will take a closer look at a nice condo for a mere $100-115 thousand they hit the pause button upon finding out that the monthly dues are over $400. At todays' historically low interest rate that is almost as much as the mortgage.


Many reports on the state of Real Estate focus endlessly on the numbers 49%-55% decreases in inventories year over year, and as mentioned earlier the modest surge in prices.  It would be easy to interpret this as a positive sign of a rejuvenated housing market.  Underlying these trends though some economists are pointing out, are the harder facts. Only about half of the homes purchased are being bought by primary home owners. That means the other half are being bought by investors that want to fix and flip or fix and rent.  The economist say this points to low demand despite record low interest rates consumers are not flocking to buy homes. The underlying economic conditions of growth in the economy and lack of jobs is holding the average home buyer back even with 3.5% interest rates!


The point here is not to say that all is lost. Movement in the market is still good. Banks still have years of work to do to reduce their foreclosed inventory. It is debatable how they will do that but that is for another blog post. Some new construction is starting to spring up or get restarted.  Inventory levels could change depending on these two segments alone.  It has been talked about lately, that the banks may start selling off their inventory in bulk sales. That could change the market drastically. Also, investors could shift gears. If they are unable to find tenants or buyers for their flips they won't be buying more. The economy could improve the only constant here is the fact that things will change.


This leads me to the point that I don't think should be missed. If you are in a position where you know you want to sell your home in the next 6 months, do not wait. Now is the time - seize the moment and do it now.  After almost 12 years in the business I can personally attest to the fact that in every market condition the market tends to shifts about every six months.  The shift could be availability of financing - inventory levels - consumer confidence or something as mundane as popular price points but it will shift.  We are drawing close to that six month window, sellers now is your moment.

Tenant Rights In A Foreclosed Property

We have written before about the need to be very careful when renting anTenant Rights In Foreclosed Properties apartment or home in todays market. There are many scams and just because someone has the keys to a property does not mean that they own it or have the authority to rent it. You can read our whole post about Rental Scams here however, the most important thing you can do to protect yourself is get ID from the person renting the home to you and find out if they even own the property. Typically you can do this at your local county tax office or a friend in the Real Estate, Title or Banking Industries can often check that for you.

This blog post is about what happens when you have already paid, moved in and settled only to find out your landlord is not paying the mortgage. Tenant Rights In A Foreclosed Property.

Foreclosure is looming and you are stressed out worried about  what will become of your lease. Sadly, there are many scenarios where you may never know it is coming unless there is a notice posted on the property. Closer to the actual auction sale date you may see people driving by and checking out the property. A few brave ones may even ring the doorbell. These are typically investors that want to see what the property looks like in advance of the foreclosure auction. Many will have no idea that you are a tenant and not the owner. You do not have to talk to them and you probably would be better off referring them to your landlord.

So what are your Tenant Rights in a Foreclosed Property? These rights changed with passage, in 2009, of the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act (PTFA) this law say that any bona fide lease entered into prior to the notice of foreclosure remains in place when the owner-by-foreclosure (OBF) purchases the property to be used for any purpose other than as a primary residence. Yes, you read that right.. a real lease that is in place prior to the notice of Foreclosure ..has to be honored by the new owner as long as they did not buy it to use as their principal residence.

There is another criteria that must be met as well. The lease must be for fair market value. The PFTA is very vague however, and it does not really spell out any set way that this can be determined. I would suggest that a copy of current rental ads should be pretty strong evidence that your rent is at market value.

So what if the new owner wants to use the property as their principle residence? Well, In this case you can be given a 90 day notice to vacate the property. Sort of a worse case scenario yes, but you cannot be forced out without adequate time to find a new place.

This Act is in effect until The end of 2014.

Again, use caution when leasing any property. Make sure you know who you are dealing with and if the worst thing happens - know your rights.

Photos Of Palm Springs CA

[slideshow]

New Photos Added to our Palm Springs Picture Gallery. Photos of Palm Springs CA help you capture the beauty of the Desert. One of my favorite things about the Desert is the ever changing color of the mountains. No matter what time of day or season of the year it is you can see a different shade on the Mountains. Oranges, reds, browns and purples - people often think of the Desert as a sea of brown but I would object to that because I think there are dozens of colors you just have to look for them.

So Be sure to see all the Photos of Palm Springs CA in PSagent Photo Gallery If that is not enough for you be sure to see more Photos of Palm Springs CA
