Real Estate Foreclosures and Selling Your Home in the NEW YEAR!
What will 2008 hold for the Foreclosure Market.

As the new year approaches, I am constantly thinking of what 2008 holds for many homeowners trying to sell their property. I am constantly taking phone calls from nervous sellers that think the Auction Method may be the ONLY viable way to sell their home. The reality is, after looking closely at the numbers, very few would even qualify for a successful "Traditional" Auction Sale. The auction method can meet several needs for the seller however is not meant for every property.

So...what is the alternative?  If your property is listed with an aggressive Real Estate Agent...it's "Patience and Exposure". I tell sellers to be patient in this market. Your "Days on Market" have increased. Be aggressive with your price to reflect your market and condition. Price it according to condtion! I can't stress that enough. The next is "Exposure". Where is your property being advertised? Do you have a Visual Tour with statistics? (not just a glorified slide show). Can you find it easily on the internet knowing 4 out of 5 buyers start their home search on the internet? Many will eventually find a home starting with the internet. There is a lot of inventory for buyers to choose from. Get your property out there for the world to see! On a side note, buyers are looking for the best deals and certainly don't want to make a huge purchase in a downward market. Make your property attractive with incentives, i.e. closing cost assistance, etc.  

Since October 2006, housing prices have taken an average 6% reduction. This is difficult for many sellers to swallow. In the world of Real Estate this is coined as tragic for home owners. In any other market however (Retail, Stock Market), it simply becomes a "Buying Opportunity". In my market covering Maryland, Baltimore, Harford and Cecil County, I believe Buyers will be and ARE coming out of the woodwork! I have instructed my team to be patient with the "tire kickers". They WILL be buyers soon. 

What does 2008 hold for the Real Estate Market?

The short answer is it may be a difficult year for sellers who have not planned early enough to market their homes. Too many homeowners have taken on mortgages that are not realistic for them to re-pay. The last minute decisions to sell a home hoping for the magical contract to come in before being foreclosured on is not realistic. In most cases this will not happen. I am noticing Deed of Trusts that are less than 2 years old heading for foreclosure. Most are not "Sub-Prime" loans or so-called "shady" adjustable rate mortgages.

Out of the 7 auctions I conducted today, December 28, 2007, only 1 was an adjustable rate mortgage. Not all Foreclosed Property owners were "victims" of the sub-prime market! Most simply victimized themselves by chasing the Dream of owning a home they could not afford. The great thing I love about being a human on this earth is....we are allowed to make mistakes. Some costs are greater than others.  

In early January 2008, there are 190+ Foreclosure Auctions I am scheduled to conduct over a 3 day period. This will cover only 4 counties in Maryland. Lenders will be over-run with properties which means a buying opportunity for investors and others. The difficult times for a few are still ahead. If you find yourself falling behind on payments, PLAN AHEAD! Talk to your Lender. If things cannot be worked out and you have enough time. Talk to your REALTOR® or local Real Estate Auctioneer. If you live in Maryland. There is only one phone call you need to make. We are here to help.

Have a Great New Year!

"After discussing at length (our property) with Mr. McArtor, we decided the Auction Method was not the best method for our home in Baltimore. No one else explained it quite like he did......

BRAC, APG, Relocating To Maryland, Harford, Baltimore or Cecil County

Your Official Base Realignment, BRAC, Relocation Website serving Harford County, Baltimore County and Cecil County Areas. Start Your Home Search Here!

The Base Realignment and Closure, ( BRAC ) process allows the Department of Defense to transform its infrastructure to meet the future needs of the military. As a result of this process, some communities in Maryland and APG will experience an increase in military activity and associated community growth such as the need for availability of homes in Harford, Baltimore, Cecil County, while others are faced with a significant base closure and associated economic distress.

An increase in military activity may challenge a community's capacity to absorb an influx of personnel and may place excessive demands on some off-base community services and facilities in Harford County,Cecil County and Baltimore County Maryland. Experience suggests that off-base housing scarcity and school overcrowding are areas of shared community and military concern. The community and the military alike must strive to maintain and improve the quality of life for local residents, including the new military personnel and their dependents.

HOUSING: Some communities experience a slowdown in local housing sales the moment a closure is announced, while sales in others continue unaffected. The drawdown of personnel may affect local renters and homeowners. The Service Human Resources Office should be able to provide a residential profile of the base population. On the basis of this profile, lenders, property owners, and community leaders can anticipate vulnerabilities and work with the local redevelopment organization to identify sources of assistance.

Personnel who are transferring with military functions may find it difficult to sell their homes in a slow market, or they may experience devaluation because of the base closure. Assistance for these housing issues is available through the DoD Homeowners Assistance Program.

For growing installations such as APG, some Maryland communities in Harford, Baltimore, Cecil County may not have adequate housing for incoming personnel. Robert B. McArtor and The Maryland HOMES Team will help you assess the local housing market and help plan your relocation to the area.
