Elgin, IL (PRWEB) November 12, 2011

The chances of turning a home sales contract into a completed sale increase substantially when the real estate agents successfully overcome obstacles that can block the path to the closing table, according to a RE/MAX analysis of trends in the northern Illinois real estate market.

RE/MAX agents say there is no question that more contracts fall through these days than in the past due to challenges in todays real estate marketplace.

Traditionally it was the rare contract that didnt close, usually not more than 1or 2 out of 100,” reported Tim McCaslin, broker/owner of RE/MAX Sauk Valley in Sterling, Ill. He estimates that this year the failure rate is closer to 5 percent in his market area, while at the same time many more contracts end up requiring extensions but do close eventually.

We see the same trend in our area, agreed Pam Jacobs, an agent with RE/MAX of Barrington in Barrington, Ill. She said no single issue is primarily responsible for making it more challenging to close contracts. Rather, she cited a combination of factors that include regulatory changes, increased scrutiny by lenders, greater anxiety on the part of many buyers and added complications that can come with buying a foreclosure or short sale.

According to Paul Fasold of RE/MAX Signature in Chicago, the keys to closing a contract are for both the buyer and the building to be qualified. A real estate agents job, he said, is to make sure both are true.

First, it needs to be established that the buyer is financially qualified to undertake the purchase being contemplated. That means making sure buyers are working with a lender and have been pre-approved for a loan that will allow them to purchase the property on which they are making an offer, Fasold said. Lenders today are extremely cautious, and each has its own set of loan criteria. Thats why I like to be sure buyers are working with a good mortgage broker who has access to a range of financing sources and can match each buyer with a suitable lender.

Cindy Banks, broker/owner of RE/MAX Cornerstone in West Chicago, Ill., works extensively with banks, helping them sell foreclosed homes. She said the financing of real estate transactions has become more complicated in recent years.

Lenders have more detailed requirements, higher standards and less tolerance for any deviation, noted Banks. Even though we typically represent the seller in these transactions, I view it as part of our job to be proactive in making sure each buyers lender has the information it needs. Otherwise, the transaction is at risk.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is one major lender with specific contractual requirements that are clearly spelled out on its website, according to Kathy Dames, broker/owner of RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals in Shorewood, Ill.

Homes that HUD resells and finances after foreclosure often are great values, but to get that value HUD insists buyers adhere to its rules. So, when buying a HUD home, the buyer and the buyers agent need to go over every line of the contract and abide by the letter of the requirements or the

transaction may not close, Dames said.

As for being sure each building also is properly qualified, Fasold said the most common issue these days is when the appraisal required by the lender comes back with a value below the agreed sales price. That usually happens either because the price is too high relative to recent sales in the area or the appraiser lacks the information needed to develop an accurate value estimate.

It has always been part of my job as an agent to make sure a property goes under contract at a price supported by other recent nearby sales, but today that is more important than ever. And its equally vital to give the appraiser the information needed to understand the full value of the property, said Fasold.

Its also a good idea, contends Cindy Banks, for the listing agent to meet the appraiser at the property so they can walk through it together.

An agent isnt supposed to talk to the appraiser, but you can be present, and you can provide data on comparable properties, she said. My goal in those situations is to make it as easy for the appraiser as we can.

A related issue involves home inspections because even the most perfect home will have minor flaws, said Pam Jacobs. For that reason, both buyers and sellers need to have realistic expectations when it comes to home inspections, she said. Buyers shouldnt treat every cosmetic imperfection as an opportunity to renegotiate the price. At the same time, finding a serious problem, such as one that would cost $ 1,000 to address, certainly is an appropriate subject for discussion. Agents must educate their clients about the entire purchase process, including the inspection.

Perhaps the most common stumbling blocks in todays real estate market are short sales, where the sellers outstanding mortgage debt exceeds the market value of the home. In some cases, there may be several lenders involved, and all lenders must sign off on the purchase price if the seller is to be released from further financial obligations.

Ten years ago, I doubt I did one short sale a year, said Tim McCaslin. Now, banks have entire departments that do nothing but work on this type of transaction, and our office handles dozens of them annually.

With such a large volume of transactions and with multiple lenders frequently involved, short sales can take months to complete. As a result, some buyers lose patience and walk away. In other instances, the lenders will decide not to grant the short sale.

To minimize that risk, noted McCaslin, its crucial to know upfront what documentation the lender requires, what the lenders criteria are for approval, and how the documentation should be delivered. Most of all, he noted, agents have to follow up to make sure that lenders come to a decision as promptly as possible.

When pursuing a short sale, Kathy Dames advises buyers to put together an experienced team, including a real estate agent and an attorney who are both familiar with the short sale process.

If you do that and are dealing with just one lender and can get the seller to immediately provide a complete package of documentation, it actually is possible to close a short sale in as little as 30 days, she said.

Boston, Massachusettes (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

Homes.org, a fast growing real estate search portal, is now teaming up with local professionals to bring buyers and sellers information on the Boston real estate market. Overall the Boston area real estate market has seen second quarter declines in single family homes compared to 2010, however the condo market is looking a bit stronger, especially in the luxury market during the third quarter.

“The downtown Boston condominium market has shown sign of marked improvement year-to-date in 2011, particularly in the higher price segments, ” says R. Wayne Lopez, principal at RESIS, a real estate consulting service in Boston, MA.

“The high-end of the market is steady performing: as of 3Q reports, sales over one million dollars are up 6% from last year and account for 14% of total sales year-to-date. Sales in the $ 500,000-$ 999,999 price segment are also up 6% from last year,” Mr. Lopez added. An example of this trend can be seen at 45 Province, a development Lopez and RESIS are selling in Midtown, where 34 sales this year are a huge increase from the 12 sales at this time last year.

But Lopez adds that not all market segments are enjoying such an upswing. “,The under $ 500,000 price segment is down 2%. The lower price segment continues to suffer from the new lending restrictions, which often require 20% or more down payment for purchases. Prices seem to be stabilized due to limited inventory supply, and with mortgage interest rates still low there are opportunities to be had by savvy buyers who have cash to purchase or have the down payment needed for financing. With the high cost to rent in downtown Boston continuing to escalate, more and more people who were reluctant to buy in the last few years due to global economic factors have found a sense of comfort with the local market fundamentals and are re-entering the market as buyers.”

Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 16, 2011

Today, long-time Internet entrepreneur and owner of the prestigious OS.com domain, Craig Shrimpton, CEO of Orbit Data Systems, Inc., announced that he will put his high-profile online moniker on the market. Domains containing only two letters, especially dot-com domains, are the most desired and are highly valued for their branding potential. For companies that want to join the likes of General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, and the LG Group, only a prestigious two-letter dot-com domain name will do.

“I’ve owned the OS.com domain for 15 years,” said Shrimpton. “The name has tremendous value and several possibilities for commercialization, and I’ve decided the best way to make use of it is to let it go to a high-profile buyer. Any IT company involved in operating systems would be a natural candidate, including Microsoft, Apple, and Google. Online retailerssuch as Overstock.com, for examplewould also be able to make good use of such a domain.”

Registering a domain is easy, and usually cheap. For ten or fifteen dollars, you can register a name for your URL, but the problem is that with nearly 100 million domains already in existence, most individuals and companies are hard-pressed to come up with something that hasn’t already been taken. As a result, a vibrant aftermarket in registered domain names has sprung up, with some popular and easy-to-remember domains selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The price of a two-letter dot-com domain is, of course, subjective. While the actual cash value is just the price of registration, the marketing value could be enormous. “It’s impossible to set a price for something like OS.com,” said Shrimpton. “The value is whatever a buyer will pay, and for each buyer, the perceived value will be a very different dollar amount. It could go for anywhere from $ 100,000, to ten million. Who could have imagined that a domain such as FB.com could possibly sell for $ 8.5 million? The answer is obvious when you realize the buyer was Facebook.

The value and price of online real estate continues to go up. For a company with an online presence, the domain name is everything. According to a survey from domain marketplace provider Sedo, 73 percent of respondents indicated that owning the right domain name is a key factor in a marketing campaign’s success. Furthermore, a UK study conducted by MemorableDomains showed that generic URLs that describe a specific type of product or service (such as OS.com) deliver more click-throughs than non-generic domains.

“With domain names taking such prominent roles in marketing success, the value of two-letter dot-com domains are destined to increase in value for the right buyer,” said Shrimpton. The OS.com brand could well turn out to be the best marketing investment in the domain aftermarket today.

Bids for OS.com are being accepted on Flippa.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 12, 2011

Lately, radio, newspaper, and television commercials have been talking about the great improvements in the housing market since the beginning of the Great Recession. Although there have been improvements in the housing market, the sad fact is that homes for sale have suffered considerably as a whole. In fact, its pretty safe to say that the housing market is probably in the worst shape ever, according to RealtyPartner.

The best way to fully explain why the housing market is quickly becoming known as one of the worst economic plights in the 21st century is to explain both the causes and the effects of the housing market bubble burst. When you look at the whole picture, its easy to see why the housing market is in horrible shape, and that the worst might not be over yet.

Since the prices of houses dropped considerably in many areas across the country, people are stuck paying houses that they can no longer afford. The results of this can be seen in foreclosures. Worse, many couples which used to care about their credit score are now strategically defaulting on their home loans due to the fact that the cost of the house actually outweighs the benefits of an intact credit score. The sheer amount of foreclosed homes makes keeping home prices stable and high nearly impossible.

Banks are now reluctant to lend money to first-time homeowners, which is understandable. However, this causes the rate of bought homes to drop considerably. Moreover, people who are looking into buying houses have become doubly cautious, and are looking to buy either foreclosed homes, or are looking for places with cheap rent. Why risk losing even more money on the real estate market? New housing sales hit a record low in 2011, and are expected to plummet even more.

Real estate investors have began withdrawing their money in many of their investments because many of the places that were built specifically in order to attract wealthy residents are now completely useless. In certain parts of the country, including Florida and Arizona, entire home complexes remain abandoned because the asking prices are too high to move. Half built developments wait for their investors to return and finish funding their construction.

“Although the official inventory of houses for sale appears slightly above average, the ‘shadow inventory’ of distressed homes that are lost to defaults, and are in the process of foreclosure. Those who are over 50% or more underwater on their mortgages have dramatically increased worse than we’ve seen before,” stated Mark Quinones, CEO & Founder of RealtyPartner.

This means that no one truly knows how bad the housing market has gotten, nor do they know what to expect. Anyone who wants to invest will often be intimidated by the sheer turmoil of the housing market. The worry and speculation that surrounds the housing market is only adding fuel to an already extremely chaotic fire.

The worst might still be yet to come, and no one knows when the housing market will improve. How long will it take the housing market to stabilize? That depends on several factors, including the employment rates, active investment in the housing market, and also the number of foreclosures that are sold. Really, only time will tell.

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) November 19, 2011

Homes.org, a fast growing real estate search portal, spoke with agents in the Baltimore, MD area to get an overview for how the real estate market is performing. “The Baltimore market is doing better than other regions because our job market is healthier than other areas of the country. There are many people relocating to this area for jobs that are associated with the growth at Ft. Meade in Anne Arundel county,” says Wendy Slaughter, M.S.B, SFR and Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist for The Wendy Slaughter Team of REMAX Advantage Realty in the central MD region.

“My advice for buyers is simple: Be sure you are pre-approved by a high quality, respected lender and make an offer! Rates are low, there are great homes out there and this is the time to take action.” In fact, home prices fell 6% in the Baltimore area in October meaning it’s even more affordable to by a home now than within the last few months.

Slaughter’s advice for sellers is a little more complex. “Our top priority for our listings is condition. We often recommend our sellers go above and beyond simple staging and actually replace carpet, install granite counters, replace outdated light fixtures and freshen the house with current paint colors. In addition, professional photography is a must. Over 90% of buyers search online so the photos are critical. Finally – the big one – price. Our goal is to have our sellers show better than the competition but be priced in line with their competitors. Buyers choose a home by comparison shopping. Be the best on the block and priced well and you’ll sell first.”

The November 2011 real estate market conditions in Austin, Texas are now available for review from the real estate experts at Regent Property Group. The data for the report was provided by the Austin Board of REALTORS

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 23, 2011

According to RealtyPartner.com Research and Development, buyers from European countries like Spain , France and Italy and buyers all over the world are now taking advantage of the cheap US real estate market by investing heavily, as they believe that the values will go up in another 5 years, according to RealtyPartner.

The US real estate market is doomed; real estate price throughout the country is still on a free fall and there are no signs of the US real estate market recovering in the near future.

“The cheap real estate market surprisingly has now attracted number of foreign buyers, who are considering investing heavy in the US real estate market.” stated Mark Quinones, RealtyPartner’s Chairman and Founder past weekend at his investment seminar in New York City.

The reasons for foreigners to buy US real estate are simple; the prices are dead cheap and they can pick the best real estate they want without any conditions what so ever. Recent statistics released by RealtyPartner states that about $ 16 billion worth US real estate properties are bought by the foreign buyers, with 62% of the homes for sale properties being bought in cash.

Foreigners think that it is easy for them to market and sell the real estate properties bought as US has global reach. Many foreigners who live in the US are dying to buy a house for themselves as they consider it as an important accomplishment in their lives. Although the real estate market is sluggish, one can always sell their real estate (without expecting high price of course), if they are badly in need of cash.

People from Canada and China are the ones who have bought the highest number of US real estate, a statistic says. This buying spree may well lead to another real estate boom or at least will create new opportunities for local realtors who find it very hard to sell real estate properties In and around their area.

Manhattan is considered as the most expensive market for large housing in the US. The home prices in this market appear to be gaining stability and it seems that the prices will continue to grow. Coop as well as condo prices showed a good gain between 7.5%-14% in the 3rd quarter of 2010. This is the increased gained over the prices in the same period in last year.

This hike in Manhattan Real Estate market is not just a sudden burst of boom. This is the 3rd quarter in a row when the prices went up and it shows that the Real Estate market in Manhattan is actually stabilizing. Also the demand for homes has surpassed the inventory supply which went down by 25% compared to the peak inventory stock of March 2009.

It was reported that the homes were sold out pretty quickly. For a normal house on market it took 127 days to be sold out whereas it took 167 days during the 3rd quarter of the year 2009.

However, the figures may be a little out of the line, because the market may look stronger that it actually is. Analysts are saying that the prices are not really rising. According to them, the indicators are actually rising because of normal sales mix. The local economy of New York is improving. The stock markets also jumped up by 10% in the 3rd quarter. Analysts think that recovery is not the perfect word for this upswing because the prices are not really taking off.

Manhattan market is still facing on problem and it is the problem of getting new mortgages. Though the rates of interests are low, the hurdle of underwriting department is a major one where people are stumbling and facing problems in securing mortgages. Hassles include huge documentation and high credit scores.

Irrespective of the happenings in the Manhattan Real Estate market, the entire economy is still in troubles and the foreclosures are actually causing troubles. However, the opportunities of investment are still there and those interested in purchase or invest in a foreclosed house can get big savings.

With so many vacant properties especially new homes, condos and townhomes renters are getting much more for their money than they normally would, says Barry Britt, Managing Broker for REO Proformance Systems Coldwell Banker of Georgias top real estate team that focuses on Atlanta foreclosure and bank-owned properties in the metro area.

From 2000 to 2010 the new housing boom outpaced demand by more than 50% in the four major metropolitan Atlanta counties (including Cobb, Gwinnett, Dekalb and Fulton). In 2010 more than half of the 143,000 new houses, condos and apartments were vacant most available for rent.

What does that mean for the renter? Great things of course. For renters there is much more competition for their business which means they do get more for their money. We are seeing many owners of Atlanta foreclosure homes put those properties into the rental market, says Sandi Beursken, agent and Chief Administrative Officer at REO Proformance Systems. Owners of these properties such as financial institutions and mortgage companies, are aware of how challenging the real estate market is and, as a result, are looking to generate some positive cash flow for these non-performing assets.

The recession and slow-moving, jobless recovery has created many more renters. We know that home owners are still the majority in the 28-county metro area, but renters are closing the gap, says Britt.

However landlords and other property owners are seeing a dramatic increase in demand for rental property. This trend is resulting in both the stabilization of rents in some areas and rents INCREASING in others areas of Atlanta. In other words, landlords are actually seeing an increase in rental income as a result of this tough economic climate, says Britt.

But who are the new tenants? According to Britt these renters are potential home buyers who are choosing to rent rather than buy at this time OR other individuals or families who have damaged credit and cannot qualify for a home loan. Mortgage requirements are so tough right now that many families simply cant qualify, says Beursken. In fact she adds that the number of families who would like to buy but cant qualify is a major reason for this dramatic increase in the number of renters.

As we all have learned with all bear markets, there IS opportunity. There are so many compelling deals on the purchase of rental properties, says Britt. Our investor clients are searching and buying Atlanta foreclosure properties at remarkable prices – then getting renters in at a better rent rate than someone who bought rental property 4 years ago.

In fact, the long-term prospects for the rental market in a major metropolitan areas like Atlanta is excellent. This shift will slowly trend toward more stabilized rents as the number of available rental properties continues to decline. Much of the real estate boom in the Atlanta included properties such as apartments, townhomes and apartment, says Britt. As those properties become leased and fewer rental options are available, landlords will have more leverage over their rental rates.

Michael Lombardi, leading contributor to Profit Confidential, was in Miami last weekend and realtor after realtor was telling him that the biggest condo building bust in history has bottomed out and that it is rebounding with the U.S. housing market. Buyers are snapping up properties, one-third of them paying cash, and the best deals are gone.

Lombardi is not sure he believes them. Or, to rephrase: hes not sure they understand. Lombardi is the analyst who correctly predicted the housing crash and told his readers to get out of real estate a couple of years before the crash.

We all remember when banks pulled way back on home foreclosures in 2010, as they were accused of not having their paperwork in order when they foreclosed. This put a temporary halt to U.S. home foreclosures. Now that theyve cleaned up their act, big U.S. banks are actually starting to accelerate their foreclosures.

In the third quarter of 2011, U.S. banks started foreclosures on more homes than at any other time in the past 12 months. According to Profit Confidential, Banks have a backlog of foreclosures in the U.S. housing market to start work on as a result of the banks cooling foreclosures during the period they were being accused of faulty foreclosure practices.

According to the National Association of Realtors, U.S. home prices fell in three-quarters of all metropolitan areas in the third quarter of 2011. The median price of homes in the U.S. was down 4.7% in the third quarter of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010. Foreclosure sales still make up 30% of all U.S. housing market activity at the resale level.

Hence, we have a situation where more foreclosed homes are coming onto the U.S. housing market and U.S. home prices are still dropping. But this is not the real problem.

If the Federal Reserve could keep long-term interest rates down for the next 10 to 20 years, the U.S. housing market would have a chance to recover. Unfortunately, the Fed cant keep rates that low for that long. Interest rates will have to rise sooner rather than later as inflation becomes a problem in America.

Lombardi states Rising interest rates will only depress the U.S. housing market further. This is what realtors dont understand the best bargains may lie further ahead.

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $ 300 an ounce. In 2006, it begged its readers to get out of the housing market…before it plunged.

Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) November 24, 2011

The majority of the 500 largest European companies by market cap included in the Financial Times Europe 500 list lack critical IR content on their corporate website. Findings from KWD Webranking 2011 show that market information, financial goals and risks are scarce, and few present their debt maturity structures. The more worrying as this is the kind of information financial markets are looking for in these troubled times.

Only 10 companies mention their financial targets and achievements

The most apparent gap between stakeholder demands and actual performance occurs for financial targets and achievements. Among surveyed capital-market stakeholders, 87% want information on targets and 77% on financial achievements. Only 10 companies of the Europe 500 list provide both – Telecom Italia, the winner of KWD Webranking 2011, is one of them.

Few mention loans and repayment plans

Across Europe, the mention of interest bearing liabilities is also far below stakeholder demands. 3 out of 4 want information about loans and bonds. Only 40% of European companies present their liabilities and slightly less (37%) inform about repayments and maturity structure.

When doing sector analysis*, Gas, water & multiutilities ranks best in information on interest bearing liabilities (82% give at least some information). Not a single company in either Software & computer services or Household & luxury goods provides this information.

Telecommunications is the sector which has the best average score for debt maturity structures (48%). Here again, the Software & computer services sector provides no information.

Tobacco and Telecommunications companies reveal market shares

Virtually all companies (95%) have some information about their business operations but very few talk about market share – only 32%. For instance, in both the Oil equipment & services and Real estate sectors, only one company in each gives this data: the UK energy supporting company Wood Group and the French real estate company Klepierre.

The sectors with most transparency regarding markets, market shares and competitors are Beverages & Tobacco and Telecommunications, followed by Software and computer services.

From a geographical perspective, companies in Finland, the United Kingdom and Sweden are the most open ones on this topic.

Clear investor propositions are rare

Investors want a rationale for investing in a given company, but only 8% provide an investor proposition on their website. Of these, 46% are from the UK, 13% Germany and 8% France.

Our results show that only a few of the biggest companies across Europe take the time and effort to clearly outline their investment case on the corporate website. All the others expect the visitor to do the work to piece it together from random bits of information sprayed around the site. The 8% that do it properly are surely at an advantage as a potential investor I can understand the key strengths of the company in just a few seconds, says Phil Marchant, Managing Director (UK) of KWD.

Financial and operational risks are left out

The majority of the capital market (80%) finds it either important or very important with a risk management section with details on how well the company is prepared for risks and how they intend to react, should risks become a reality. Only 30% of the companies, however, present information about financial or operational risks.

Out of the 30% with risk management on their website, the following sectors have a higher proportion of companies giving this information: Insurance, Oil and gas producers, Beverages & Tobacco.

A sensitivity analysis is also highly sought after by financial analysts. Only 10% of the companies, however, present an estimate of how individual risk factors, such as fluctuations in currency or oil price, affect the companys business.

Telecom Italia has the best corporate website in Europe

Telecom Italia wins the annual survey of corporate websites performed by KWD Webranking (previously H&H Webranking) with an impressive 89 points, thereby pushing the Italian energy company Eni (87 points) down to second place after three consecutive years on the throne.

Winner in 2007, Telecom Italia has been in the top five of KWDs ranking of Europe 500 companies ever since. By further developing their presence in social media channels and providing a high level of interactivity with their website visitors, Telecom Italia managed to climb past Eni and regain first position. The integrated communication project, the “avoicomunicare” blog, presents several corporate social responsibility issues and is a good example where Telecom Italia stimulated open online discussions regarding major issues regarding the environment, sustainable development, biodiversity, potential synergies between cultures.

Another recipe for success is Telecom Italias perceptiveness in understanding target group needs and providing a content rich corporate website. The Press- and Financial Reporting sections are particularly outstanding, both receiving top scores in the survey.

The German chemical company BASF breaks the Italian dominance in the top spots and claims third place with 83 points, one notch better than in 2010. A second energy company secures position in the top five, namely Repsol (81.75 points). The Spanish company makes an impressive leap from 10th place in 2010 to 4th. And for the first time, Swedish SCA becomes a member of the big five with 80.5 points.

Gas and Pharmaceuticals improve websites the most

When looking at the percentage change in rank of the 28 sectors in Europe 500 compared to 2010, two sectors outshine by far: Gas, water & multiutilities and Pharmaceuticals & biotechnology.

The Gas, water & multiutilities sector makes a major leap from 4th place to 1st. Italian Snam Rete Gas, German RWE and English Centrica are the strongest in the sector. The Gas sector is especially strong in the Corporate Responsibility section of the corporate website, providing information about supply chain standards and sustainability index as well as working actively with membership and sponsorship programs, community involvement and charity. The majority of the companies also have the latest CR report online and a CR contact.

Treading on their heels, Pharmaceuticals & biotechnology goes from 9th place to 3rd. The sectors key competence is providing enticing yet functional home pages, comprehensive and accessible general information about the company and its business principles as well as creating an attractive Career section to draw the attention of new talents.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 25, 2011

Homes.org recently released a list of the top 10 reasons for using a buyer’s agent. The list was derived from detailed feedback provided by numerous real estate professionals across the country. After reviewing the reasons provided it became clear that the better question wasn’t why should home buyers use a buyer’s agent but why wouldn’t they.

“HUDS Settlement Cost Booklet, Shopping for Your Home Loan advises the home buyer in Section IV on page 6: It is your responsibility to search for an agent who will represent your interests in the real estate transaction. If you want someone to represent only your interests, consider hiring an exclusive buyers agent, who will be working for you, ” points out John F. Sullivan, Vice-President & Associate Broker at Buyer’s Edge Co. Inc. “If a buyer cant find an exclusive buyers agent in their area, they should seek a single agency licensee who is an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) or an ABR with a small dual agency brokerage to minimize the chance of dual agency.”

Vancouver Investment Commercial Industrial Real Estate Sector Getting Strong Vote of Confidence from Investors

A recent Newswire.ca news release contained some strong numbers for commercial real estate investment across most major Canadian markets. Commercial real estate sales in dollar volume in Canada has already surpassed the 2009 total. The strong activity has largely been driven by a healthy demand for retail space and an active REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) sector.

By the end of the third quarter this year, over $ 12 billion in commercial real estate will have changed hands in Canada, up over 57% for the same 9 month period the previous year. Toronto has been the most active market while Vancouver has been the most expensive (with an overall capitalization rate of 6.12% and falling.)

Bill Ageropolous, VP and Director of Research for commercial real estate broker Avison Young comments that

” Compared to last year, the results to date are a welcome sign that the commercial real estate investment market is gaining traction in Canada,” continues Argeropoulos.

“This upswing is attributed to a number of factors, including stable and improving market fundamentals, historically low borrowing costs, high availability of debt, a narrowing bid-ask gap and the emergence of REITs as active buyers.” Ageropolous added that cap rates may continue to drop from those buyers venting their frustration at being previously shut out of the market and now have the capital sitting on the sidelines ready to deploy.

Vancouver Avison Young Principal Mike Gill commented that “”the recent influx of foreign capital from Europe, the Far East and the Middle East, together with competition from local investor capital, has applied further pressure to already declining cap rates for the premier assets”.

It looks like condos and houses are not the only real estate assets whose prices are being affected upwards by Asian foreign investment.

Georgia real estate is now witnessing a steady rise in the property demands due to the increasing interest for international real estate investors in the country.

Georgia, a sovereign state in Eurasia’s Caucasus region is situated at the juncture of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Georgia is bordered by black sea to the west, Russia to the north, Turkey and Armenia to the south and Azerbaijan to the east. Covering a territory of 69,700 km², Georgia’s population is above 4.6 million.

Georgia real estate market has been turbulent in past and that is why a large number of people are still interested in Georgia rentals but a lot has happened and been done in Georgia in recent years. Fast development and infrastructure has improved real estate in Georgia. There are many good reasons why one should think about investment in real estate in Georgia. Whether you should put your hand in Georgia rentals or should go about buying properties in the country depends on your personal interest, a kind of investment you’re making and your expectations out of it. It is important that you weigh both pros and cons of each option before taking the decision.

Georgia rentals generally run for one-year and when the lease ends it automatically gets renewed. However if it does not, there’s always an option of renewing the same lease. A lot of time landlord will ask you to increase the rental payment and if you don’t increase further, you’ll have to find a new place to live. It is important for you to consider is that when you’re investing in Georgia rentals, you’re not building equity. What you’re doing is paying a mortgage each month for someone else’s property.

If you want to take advantage of Georgia real estate, you must consider buying a resale property or fresh land in Georgia. Owning a property will provide you stability, and you’ll be able to start building friendship with your neighborhood, you’ll get involved in the community and also have the hometown feel. Even if you are not interested in living in the property you buy in Georgia, you can make great wealth out of it. After all, throughout history, Georgia real estate has always provided awesome opportunities of multiplying wealth.

One great way to decide whether you should buy a property or go for Georgia rentals is by taking a look at Georgia real estate listings. By checking the content in inventory, you’ll be able to find out the way market is right now and then act accordingly.

Lands are also available in Georgia for sale and some of them are at pristine location. Buying in land can be a great investment in Georgia real estate. The reason is that you can use it for both domestic as well as commercial purpose. You may also buy a large piece of land and some small houses there so that later you can enjoy great rental income. Such investments in international real estate can multiply your money within few years.

Lands in Georgia attract both who have rural interests as well as those who have a fast-paced urban setting. Atlanta happens to be the largest city and state capital in Georgia and abounds with commercial as well as his eventual lots and land for sale. The city is a hub of communication, transportation, government, industry, tourism and several large corporations such as the Coca-Cola Company, Arby’s and Georgia Atlantic. Metropolitan land is also easily available in Georgia and includes rich urban centers such as Athens and savanna. Georgia is a rich industrial, commercial and cultural centre and it can cater to all real estate needs.

The Phoenix real estate market has observed quite a roller coaster ride in the last several years with the trail heading for the most part down. Is there any near term sparkle of hopefulness for this market? In my opinion I sense 2011 will be a year of more stabilization for Phoenix and by ’12 we will essentially begin to observe a slow progression of home prices going back up.

Several parts of the Phoenix real estate market have been hit worse than others. The hardest damaged regional communities are Maricopa, Avondale and Goodyear just to call out a few. A handfull of HOA’s have in fact gone bankrupt! Communities that appear to be stabilizing the most are Scottsdale, Gilbert and Peoria.

The present development seems to be headed for a double dip. After the 2007 melt down the market to some extent stabilized and started creeping back up in 2010. Interest rates, government assisted home buying plans as well as the return of investors where the major reasons in home prices inching back up. Nevertheless over the previous couple of months prices look to be taking one more down swing. Investors are becoming a little bit more cautious plus the government subsidies to first time home owners are no longer obtainable.

As with every market failure the rebound is not going to go straight up. There is absolutely gonna be several bumps along the way and this is just one of them. Housing markets generally slow down in the winter anyway is one reason. Median home values for the Phoenix area are currently about $ 120,000 and are forecast to hit $ 110,000 by late winter before they begin to gradually moving back up. The majority of all area economists and housing professionals in this area agree, as I stated above, that we will notice more stabilization in ’11 and some recovery starting in 2012.

Will this imply foreclosures are going away…absolutely not. The moratorium that some banks have recently instituted could make some difference in future foreclosues though. Most of the larger banks ARE starting to get more serious about loan modification as opposed to foreclosure. But we will still witness a large number of foreclosures in the next several years. We want to see added job rebound, which by the way we are beginning to witness glimmers of this within Phoenix, furthermore there are actually still 1000′s of foreclosures that plainly said will still shift into the foreclosure group of households.

There are varying opinions from the specialists on just how are market will get better but one thing everybody is positive of is the Arizona real estate market WILL, in due course recover.

The crash of the real estate market not only caused millions of people to lose their homes, their funds, and their jobs but also their trust in the economy. Billions of dollars of our government’s money have been wasted trying to bail out many banks and automobile companies alike. Despite the loss that occurred over the past year and a half, it has opened the doors to new buyers that would have never been able to afford quality houses and properties, until now.

It is a buyer’s market and if you have just a fraction of the resources that you once needed for a down payment then you are in business. Foreclosures, short sales, and discounting pricing are the norm these days and first time buyers are finding themselves in a very good spot to be in. There is no shame in taking advantage of the current real estate market. Buyers that would have never before been able to buy are finding themselves looking at homes that they never would have dreamed would be in their reach.

Buy Foreclosures and Short Sales Pennies to the Dollar

If you are in the market to buy a home or condo then congratulations, you have successfully managed your money to be able to become a homeowner. Second of all you must be aware that there are many different mortgage, brokerage, and real estate companies that want to get the most out of you. You have to be careful to not fall for variable rates that seem low in the beginning and then sky rocket in a couple of months.

There are many products out there that will help you to buy properties for pennies on the dollar. There are many cost cutting measures that can be enlisted that will end up saving you thousands and thousands of dollars. Don’t waste your time, money, and effort on people and products that are just going to try to get the most money out of you.

Learn how to buy a property without a hefty down payment

No longer do you have to save up for years on end to possibly afford a down payment on a house. If you are smart and enlist the right help, you will be in your new house in no time at all. There are many ways to go about potentially taking advantage of foreclosures and short sales, you just have to pick the right ones. On the other hand you don’t want to pay thousands of dollars just to end up getting ripped off.

Timing the Las Vegas real estate market

Investing in Real Estate Home ownership is a highly leveraged investment that can yield substantial profit with a nominal front-end investment. However, these returns depend on buying at the right time and reaping the subsequent home-price appreciation. As for evaluating the risk associated with home ownership, David T. Schumacher and Erik Page Bucy write in their book “The Buy & Hold Real Estate Strategy,” John Wiley & Sons, New York; 1992, that “good property located in growth areas should be regarded as investing in real estate as opposed to a speculation or gamble.”What is the best time to buy? Because many buyers prefer to move in the spring or summer, the market starts to heat up as early as February. Families with children are anxious to buy so they can move during summer vacation, before the new school year begins. The market slows down in late summer before picking up again briefly in the fall. November and December have traditionally been slow months, although some astute buyers look for bargains during this period either from banks who need to liquidate before the year’s end, or homeowners who are in a crunch and need relief.While a typical buyer may look at five to 10 homes before making an offer, an investor who is actively investing in the Las Vegas real estate market usually go through many more. Most experts agree it takes a lot of evaluation and homework to find a real “bargain.” There are a number of ways to buy a bargain property:• Use our accredited online real estate search engine to help you locate and evaluate currently available Below-Value properties. • Buy a fixer-upper in a transitional neighborhood, improve it and keep it or resell at a higher price. • Buy a foreclosure property (after doing your research carefully). • Buy a house due to be torn down and move it to a new lot. • Buy a partial interest in a piece of real estate, such as part of a tenants-in-common partnership. • Buy a leftover house in a new-home development. The current market provides great values for an investor or buyer who is READY, WILLING AND ABLE to invest in real estate and take advantage of these deals. The general consensus in the market is that real estate prices will find a bottom some time in late 2008 or early 2009. After which prices will rise on a steady slope. The exponential growth in the Las Vegas gaming and commercial real estate market will continue to generate the jobs and other benefits that homeowners require. Buying in the Las Vegas real estate market now, or this year while interest rates are low could very well be the best opportunity the Las Vegas real estate market has seen since 2001. http://www.propertyhookup.com is the newest, most advanced real estate search engine available on the internet.

A person has limitless options when looking for residential properties in Philippines real estate listings. Metro Manila is a really big place jam-packed with apartments, houses, and condominiums, surrounded with commercial and entertainment centers. Getting an apartment to reside in can occasionally be rather puzzling, especially when you aren’t accustomed with the area. That is why it’s crucial to weigh your options very carefully before making that huge decision.

There are lots of matters that should be taken into consideration when hunting for household properties in Manila. Primarily, one needs to consider his desired location or area. This will enormously be determined by where you make your business or go to the office. You certainly will also want quick access to facilities like hospitals, schools, and public transport terminals.

You will want to try to find houses in Manila that are near such basic facilities so that you can evade future inconveniences. You should also consider your livelihood interests. If your job or company is based on Quezon City, renting or buying an apartment in Makati is simply unreasonable and may be very undesirable as well. As in any other place, location is still the ultimate deciding aspect when it pertains to the world of Philippines real estate.

Only upon deciding on a location should you decide whether to rent in Manila or invest in your own personal household property. It is usually expensive to possess a property which is situated in major cities like Makati and Ortigas. The large need for houses in Manila located within these places makes it nearly difficult to buy one.

This is largely the factor why lots of young employees and middle-class people believe it is sensible to rent a house or apartment instead. However, you can find cheaper options in the Philippines real estate market. High-rise condo units have become a viable choice for lots of young employees and people in the middle-class. Acquiring a condominium is a lot cheaper and property developers make it an even more appealing choice for consumers by presenting rather flexible monthly payment terms.

Choosing to reside in the many different houses in Manila also has its own advantages as compared to condo or apartment living. The spatial convenience and solitude a real house offers may not be attained in smaller high-rise residential residences. A house, primarily one that’s confined in a private village or subdivision, could be tremendously expensive to own or rent in Manila. Still, the numerous benefits of being in private subdivisions like Bel Air and Dasmarinas Village in Makati and Green Meadows and Valle Verde in Pasig are evident. These private villages feature world-class facilities, something which some other areas do not have.

With plenty of options in the Philippines real estate market, your ultimate decision will most likely be influenced by a couple of primary conditions: budget and location. Regardless if it’s a house in Manila or an apartment for rent on its outskirts, ensure that you’re making the correct decision structured on your own individual priorities and needs.
