Close to 18% of U.S. homeowners who are current on their mortgage payments are classified as underwater, setting the stage for additional defaults if home prices fall deeper, Lender Processing Services (LPS) said in its July Mortgage Monitor Report. The mortgage technology firm said mortgage delinquencies are down 30% from the peak established in January 2010.  LPS said there is a direct link between negative equity and new problem home loans, and risks remain if home prices decline. "As negative equity increases, we see corresponding increases in the number of new problem loans," LPS said Monday. "In Nevada and Florida, two of the states with the highest percentage of underwater borrowers, more than 3% of borrowers who were up to date on their payments are 60 or more days delinquent s...

The Short Sale Market:  In today's housing market, 1 in 3 sales are a short sale, and that number is only rising. What is a Short Sale?  A short sale is when a lender allows a homeowner to sell their home for less than what is owed on their existing mortgage.  In most cases, and with the right listing agent representing you, you can also have all of your debt forgiven for your mortgage.   Short sales are beneficial to homeowners as well as lenders. Lenders often receive more money for short sales than foreclosures, and they do not need to be involved with property upkeep and disposal. Short sale houses are generally in better condition than foreclosures because the homeowners want to sell their properties as fast as possible Hire A Qualified Short Sale Expert: Lenders have many differen...

How to Qualify for a Short Sale   The depressed value of the house is the most obvious requirement for a lender to approve a short sale, however,  the homeowner has to meet other qualifications as well. There must be a financial hardship. Lenders only recognize certain hardships when approving a short sale. These include: chronic illness, job loss, death of a borrower, divorce, incarceration, military deployment or involuntary job relocation Some lenders will consider approval if there is a new addition to the family such as a new baby or an elderly family member; other lenders will not recognize these situations. Hire A Qualified Short Sale Expert Lenders have many different short sale processes and agents who are familiar with these are much better suited to negotiate with your lender...

Short Sale vs. Foreclosure If you’re having trouble making your mortgage payments every month, and if you have not been successful getting your loan rates refinanced or reduced to an affordable rate, then a short sale may be the best option for you. In both cases, foreclosure and short sale; you will no longer own the property at the end of the process; but a short sale generally only affects your credit for about two years, whereas a foreclosure will hit your credit for seven or more years. Furthermore, many banks and government programs offer homeowners financial assistance completing the sale and even help with moving costs. Don’t expect this treatment when you are foreclosed on. FICO scores for home sellers in a short sale can typically fall 150 points or more, complicating sellers...

  With rates for 30-year mortgages hovering below 4 percent since last October, all kinds of homeowners are trying to get their monthly mortgages reduced, say lenders and mortgage experts. Along with months of record-breaking low interest rates, other factors are driving the refinancing boom: a competitive lending market and changes in some federal refinancing programs for struggling homeowners.  It's prompted many established homeowners with old-school, high-interest mortgages to decide it's time to refi. To determine whether you should refinance, look at how long you plan to be in your current home and whether the upfront costs outweigh the monthly savings.  Generally the primary reasons for refinancing a mortgage are to: Lower monthly mortgage payments.  Eliminate the unpredictabilit...

THE MOST IMPORTANT ONTARIO SHORT SALE DO'S AND DON'TS | SHORT SALE TIPS FOR ONTARIO CA HOME SELLERS Do educate yourself. This is THE most important thing you can do. Ontario CA Short sales can be complicated. You need every bit of information you can get when you jump into the short sale process.   Don’t wait until it’s too late. If you drag your feet and hide from the fact that you’ve stopped making mortgage payments, it will cost your credit rating and it will put any chances of a Ontario short sale in risk.   Do be diligent. There have been very closable Ontario California short sales that fail because the Ontario homeowners either stop responding to their agents, stop returning paperwork, stop returning phone calls, stop caring, etc. It can be a difficult process, but at the end of ...

It's safe to sell your house again While analysts debate when the housing market will hit bottom, for a surprising number of cities the turnaround has already begun.  Prices rose in 109 of the 384 metro areas tracked by data firm CoreLogic and things are looking up in the city of Ontario, California.   For years, buyers were scared of overpaying for a home.  Today's home buyer are more realistic and have a better understanding of true value; they may start bidding around 10 percent to 15 percent below list price, but quickly learn that sometimes paying full price is still a good deal.  Its a hard lesson to learn when negotiating too hard, or too long results in losing the home to another buyer, who is willing to pay what the Seller is asking.   Sellers can hold firm on price if they’re ...
