About Short Sales

If you are trying to get a great deal on Grants Pass real estate, keep the following in mind, Some of the items on the list will be obvious, but others are overlooked, making them the best way to get a deal.

1. Foreclosures are very popular.

Probably the most popular option because of the sheer number of them, and the constant appearance in the news, Grants Pass foreclosures are a way to get a good deal on a your next home. Since the bank is the seller, these deals don’t go quite as quickly as non REO properties.

2. Consider a short sale as one of your options.

Though normally tedious and slow, a short sale can get you an incredible deal. Be prepared for a longer transaction because you are asking the lender to take less for the home than what is owed on it. If you are patient though, you just might get one heck of a deal.

3. Regular sales are great also.

What do you call a sale that isn’t a short sale or foreclosure? Besides “pretty rare”, we will call them Grants Pass homes for sale by regular people. These are homes that have to be competitive in the market place, and since foreclosures and short sales are dropping values, regular sales have to come down too. The best part about these deals is they can be fast because the bank or lender has no say in the sale process.

4. Use a Realtor.

Realtors have access to MLS and if you are searching for home to buy, you want to do it through a Realtor. The best part is usually, a Realtor cost the buyer nothing. In a lot of cases, they actually save you money by showing you comparable sales, which help you make a better offer. Rely on their professionalism to help you find your home, and it can save you a lot of heartache.

5. Get E-Mail alerts

Automatic updates are critical when you want to make an offer on a property. They will alert you when a new listing is available that meets your specific criteria. If the property is priced as a great deal, you want to be the first one to see it and make an offer. The quicker you respond, the more likely it is that you will be the winner in a race to secure the deal.

If you need to stop a foreclosure there are several ways to go about. Some homeowners can qualify for a loan modification, which is one of the most common ways. If you are facing foreclosure don’t be discouraged because you are not alone; one and ten homeowners are in the same boat. Number one piece of advice; don’t give up and don?t give in because the banks are in just as bad as shape and it is in their best interest to work with you. Understanding the process can save your home from being foreclosed on and keeping the 800 pound gorilla off your back.

Refinance. The truth is lenders will work with you if they see that you are being truthful with them and that you are able to make your payments. This is probably the toughest method and requires that you stay after the bank until they get your loan finished. The obvious requirements are having equity in your home, a job with steady income and of course the ability to pay meaning your bills are less than your income. In some cases payments could be higher but a fresh start is better than the alternative. This is not the best route for most, but it is a route.

Sell your home to a family member or friend. Again this is one of the more undesirable ways of avoiding foreclosure, but again it is a way. Some family members take pride in being the bank and may give you more favorable terms allowing you to lease the home with a purchase option in the future. Just be sure that you paper everything as you would with a bank as proper loan documents give you many rights in case the relationship spoils in the future. Financial relationships between family members do not always work out.

Try bankruptcy to stop a foreclosure in progress, but this can become an expensive alternative. The amount of payments which need to be made to satisfy the creditors and bankruptcy costs make this an option for those who have a large amount of disposable income. Let’s face it if disposable income is available your family wouldn’t be in this situation.

Wholesale your property. If you have equity and can sell you property to a wholesaler and start over this is probably the best option in a soft market as most everything is selling for 60-75% on the dollar. It is very hard to sell retail when nothing is selling for retail and credit is hard to obtain. It maybe that you can get out of your property and you can pick up a better deal with lower payments.

Work with an online loan modification service to prevent or stop a foreclosure from going through. This type of service will work with your lender to help rework your arrangement in order for your family to keep their home. The banks would prefer to get paid and not have to deal with trying to sell your home. This option will at the very least help you to repair your credit and hopefully prepare you to purchase another home in the future.

Foreclosure is more common today than people actually buying homes. Let’s face it our economy is in shamble and as a nation we are upside down; our government is no doubt a leading example of this whole debacle. Vigilance, determination and the desire to stay out of foreclosure are important in avoiding foreclosure. How long can you tread water before you will take action?
