Michigan...lawsuit against MERS

2011-05-03T10:57:00.000-07:00

MERS is short for Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, INC, which was developed as a means to provide for the faster and lower cost of buying and selling mortgage debt. the main issue outlined in the link below is the Seller's ability to provide a title insurance policy when the property has had a MERS foreclosure in it's title chain. If bank owned properties are pulled off the market, our listing shortage will be even more significant, so for non-bank sellers, this may suddenly be an even better time to get their homes on the market!

After slumping, home prices in these 10 cities are expected to rise over the next three to five years

2009-10-03T12:52:00.000-07:00

More from U.S. News & World Report » America's Best Affordable Places to Retire» America's Best Places to Live 2009» Top 10 Housing Markets for the Next 10 Years
As the historic housing crash continues to hammer real estate prices from coast to coast, many homeowners probably can't remember the last time their property's value actually increased. But even with home prices still falling at the national level, a number of hard-hit housing markets are gearing up for a rebound. (Get free instant home values and see comparable home valuations in the Home Values Center.)
To pinpoint the cities most likely to go from slump to bump, we turned to Moody's Economy.com. Using S&P/Case-Shiller home price data, Moody's identified a handful of cities that took it on the chin during the crash-with property values dropping by more than 25 percent from peak to projected trough--but are expected to see strong home price appreciation in the relatively near future.
Celia Chen, the senior director of housing economics at Moody's Economy.com, says home prices in many of these slump-to-bump cities became overvalued during the first half of the decade but have since fallen, or are in the process of falling, to extremely affordable levels. "That will encourage buyers back into the market and lift prices up," she says. Here is a look at 10 hard-hit housing markets that are ready for a rebound:
1. Tacoma, Wash.: With about 200,000 residents, Tacoma is the second-largest city in Washington's lovely Puget Sound region. The city's abundance of government jobs, bountiful outdoor activities, and proximity to Seattle--just 32 miles away--helped drive home prices higher during the first half of the decade. But as the national housing crash picked up steam, Tacoma saw its real estate market decline sharply. Home prices in Tacoma dropped 24 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. Still, Moody's Economy.com expects the market to bounce back strongly, with home prices increasing 22 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 41 percent by the first quarter of 2014. David Graybill, president and chief executive of the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, says the area's large military presence and diversified economy will help to support rising home prices going forward. "We also have one of the nation's busiest ports, the Port of Tacoma, which is an international deep-water port," Graybill says. "And although most international trade is down currently, the long-term outlook is good."
2. San Diego: Sunny San Diego was on the leading edge of the housing market's dramatic boom and bust. Residential real estate "prices started running up in San Diego faster than many other places in the nation," Chen says. But the market has since crashed, with home prices plummeting nearly 42 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. Still, San Diego's high-tech and hospitality industries will spark economic strength and rekindle home price appreciation in the coming years, Chen says. Moody's Economy.com projects home prices in San Diego will rise about 13 percent by the first quarter of 2012, and 25 percent by the first quarter of 2014. "Technology is really what will drive the economy once the recession is over," Chen says. "There are a lot of high value-added jobs that are in the metro area."
3. San Francisco: Home prices in this city are expected to bounce back solidly as well. Real estate values in San Francisco had fallen 29 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. Chen says that San Francisco will pull out of the recession sooner than most other parts of the nation, and she expects future job and population growth to support rising home values. "The types of jobs [in San Francisco] generally tend to be higher paid, and personal income growth is going to accelerate [there] quicker," Chen says. "Personal income growth really does drive home prices." Moody's Economy.com projects that home prices in San Francisco will rise about 12 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 26 percent by the first quarter of 2014.
4. Memphis: Home prices in Memphis fell 23 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. John Moore, the president and chief executive of the Greater Memphis Chamber, says that the area's exposure to subprime loans--although limited to several specific areas--played a key role in this decline. More recently, however, foreclosures linked to subprime mortgages have dropped, and investors have scooped up distressed properties at steep discounts, he says. In addition to its pleasant quality of life, Memphis's position as an important transportation hub will keep its economy humming and housing demand strong, Moore says. "We have the largest cargo airport in the world," he says. "We are the third-largest trucking corridor, fourth-largest inland port, and on top of that we are one of only three cities in the [United States] that is served by the five class-one railroads." In addition, Moore says that Memphis's low cost of living and strong healthcare system have made it a popular destination for retirees. Moody's Economy.com projects that home prices in Memphis will rise about 9 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 24 percent by the first quarter of 2014.
5. Worcester, Mass.: Worcester, which has about 180,000 residents, saw its home prices fall by roughly 23 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. But Timothy Warren, CEO of the Warren Group, a New England real estate information and data provider, points to two key industries that can help drive home price appreciation. With a number of colleges and universities located there--such as the College of the Holy Cross and Clark University--higher education is an important component of Worcester's local economy. And its university-linked healthcare sector is another key provider of jobs. "Because of the medical schools, there are teaching hospitals out there as well and a lot of research that gets done," Warren says. Moody's Economy.com projects that home prices in Worcester will rise about 6 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 21 percent by the first quarter of 2014.
6. Warren, Mich.: Like nearby Detroit, Warren's economy has been hammered by the auto industry's woes, Chen says. Home prices in Warren fell 37 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. But going forward, Moody's Economy.com projects that home prices in Warren will rise about 5 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 21 percent by the first quarter of 2014. These rates of appreciation may look encouraging, but they aren't exactly what they seem, says Chen. Warren, like the rest of the country, will indeed see some job growth as the economy pulls out of the recession, she says. And home prices will eventually fall far enough to attract buyers. But Moody's projection for healthy home price appreciation says more about the depth of Warren's real estate decline than anything else, Chen says. "Because prices are going to pick up off of such a low base, even a small increase in the actual dollar value of homes will look like a very strong growth rate," Chen says. Warren's long-term economic outlook remains unfavorable, she adds.
7. Boston: Home prices in Boston fell 18 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. But Timothy Warren says the city's robust higher education and healthcare sectors should help support higher home prices in the future. In addition, "the financial services sector has been hit hard recently, but it is still a strength of the Boston area," he says. "They have been hit [harder] than other industries, but I think they will probably come back." Moody's Economy.com projects home prices in Boston will rise about 3 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 18 percent by the first quarter of 2014.
8. Lansing, Mich.: Like Warren's, Lansing's economy is struggling. Home prices there fell 28 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. Moody's Economy.com projects that home prices in Lansing will rise about 2 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 15 percent by the first quarter of 2014. However, these increases are largely attributable to the extremely low base that real estate prices will come off of, Chen says.
9. Chicago: Home prices in Chicago fell 28 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. But David Hanna, president of the Chicago Association of Realtors, says the city's diverse economy and pleasant quality of life can help drive property values higher in the future. "The city is clean [and] it's functional," Hanna says. "The last two decades of revitalization here has spread out not only through the city but into many of the other surrounding communities." Moody's Economy.com projects that home prices in Chicago will rise about 2 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 16 percent by the first quarter of 2014.
10. Minneapolis: Home prices in Minneapolis fell 35 percent from their peaks through the first quarter of 2009. Moody's Economy.com projects home prices there will rise about 2 percent by the first quarter of 2012 and 16 percent by the first quarter of 2014.

Metro Detroit real estate: sales up again, prices even lower
Nathan Hurst / The Detroit News
Metro Detroit's real estate dichotomy of rising sales and falling prices continued again in February, according to numbers released Monday by Farmington Hills-based Realcomp, a multiple listings service.
Sales throughout the region surged 16.5 percent this February compared with the same month last year, up to 4,182 homes from 3,591 last February. At the same time, the median sales price in the area fell by nearly half, to $43,000 last month from $85,000 in February of last year.
That was driven heavily by foreclosure sales, which made up 56.3 percent of all transactions last month.
• In Wayne County, sales increased 18.4 percent to 1,753 homes in February from 1,481 the same month in 2008. The median sales price fell to $16,000, down 43.9 percent from the $28,500 seen last February.
• Sales in Oakland County increased 12.3 percent last month to 919 sales, up from 818 last February. The median price fell 46 percent to $77,700 from $144,000 seen last year.
• Macomb County sales grew by 19.3 percent to 576 transactions last month, up from 483 last February. There, sales prices fell an average of 44.6 percent to a median of $63,750 last month from $115,000 a year earlier.
• Livingston County is now the only area in the region where the median sales price for a home is above $100,000. Last month, the average home sold for $132,000, down 23.3 percent from February 2008. Sales were up 27.9 percent in Livingston, to 133 homes last month from 104 the same month a year earlier.

Interesting Short Sale News

2009-01-17T10:02:00.000-08:00

"Fannie tries short sales over foreclosures
Fannie Mae recently launched pilot projects in Phoenix and Orlando intended to reduce foreclosures by pre-approving short sales, agreeing on a price and the loss it will take prior to a deal even being made. It is hoped the program will improve the popularity of short sales among real estate agents.

Property professionals initially had welcomed short sales but soon found the process to be a frustrating one--due to squabbling about the sale price and slow approval times by the mortgage companies--that often ended with no sale at all.

'Short sales have received such a bad reputation among real-estate agents that, as a portion of the overall mortgage market, they have gone down,' says Tom Popik of the research firm Campbell Communications, whose November survey of realty practitioners found that agents had to wait as long as 8.1 weeks to receive a response from the lender on a short sale. That was nearly double the 4.5 weeks the process took earlier in the year. Fannie Mae's pilot will focus on homes that are listed at less than the mortgage balance and carry a Fannie Mae-backed loan serviced by Countrywide Financial Corp."

Mortgage Interest Rate News

2008-08-11T02:49:00.000-07:00

Mortgage bond prices fell last week pushing mortgage interest rates higher. Inflation readings the first part of the week set the tone. Rates remained worse the middle portion of the week following the Fed meeting and significant stock strength. Fortunately that trend reversed the latter portion of the week helped by higher than expected weekly jobless claims and strong foreign demand for US debt. This helped mortgage bonds recover some of the earlier losses. For the week, interest rates on government and conventional loans rose by about 3/8 of a discount point.
The consumer price index Thursday will be the most important event this week. Be cautious heading into the other data releases as they still have the potential to result in market volatility.
