Did this ever happen to you? Submit a cash offer on a property for an investor only to receive a rely that the Seller, in this case an asset manager for REO properties, informing you they accepted another offer? That happens all the time. In this case the Listing Agent calls back a month later to ask if the buyer is still interested. A lot can happen in a month. When an investor moves on, they seldom look back. In the view of a Real Estate Agent it amounts to nothing more than wasting precious time. 2-4 hours writing, submitting and filing the offer, who knows how much time and money viewing properties, and the process begins all over again with no income to show for the efforts. An Agent will typically invest 20-40 hours before writing an offer. Income, or the lack there of is directly...

With everything that could go wrong in Real Estate, I always feel confident once all the hurdles have been cleared and the process hits the Title Company. It seems there are only a few things that could go wrong at that point. Most of them concern over charges by the City of Milwaukee in fines and penalties which usually concern vacant properties not properly registered. Water bills have been estimated for closings then excessive bills sent to buyers after closing. This time we hit a new snag. An unexpected Lender showed up on the title. It should have been cleared by the previous closing, but someone forgot to file the required papers. This is where working with a reliable title company pays off. The Title Company handled the problem within the hour. They called the Title Company who c...

  Home Sales Up 29.2% in July The 4-county Metropolitan Milwaukee housing market was as hot as the weather in July, boiling 29.2% over July of 2011. Historically low interest rates, low prices and improved consumer confidence – despite recent fluctuations – have helped the market tremendously; generating double-digit sales growth for more than a year. The ‘Great Recession’ provided an abundance of available properties for sale, however, that 5-year trend ended this spring as inventory of available homes for sale dwindled, currently sitting at 7.8-months. July continued that trend with a 0.09% decline in homes listed for sale. A very small decrease compared to the 12.85% decrease in June, but the continuation of a trend since the beginning of the year – occurring at the same time sales ...

After Failed Sell-Off, MGIC to Shut Down eMagic, Myers Attempts by Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corp. to sell off its eMagic and Myers Internet units have failed and the mortgage insurer will shut down the pair of technology providers on Sept. 1. The move comes as the beleaguered MI company looks to consolidate resources and focus on its core business. Milwaukee-based MGIC is still the largest MI provider in terms of existing insurance, called policies-in-force, but has ceded the top spot in new insurance written to competitors Radian and United Guaranty. The eMagic platform connects lenders with third-party origination services, while Myers Internet provides a toolkit for lenders and real estate professionals to create and maintain websites that include point-of-sale functions like borr...

Home Sales Up 25.8% in June Home Sales Up 25.8% in June, 28.6% for the 2nd Quarter The 4-county Metropolitan Milwaukee housing market continued its strong advance in June and for the 2nd Quarter of 2012, posting 25.8% and 28.6% increases in sales, respectively, over 2011. June was the 12th consecutive month in which home sales increased by double-digits. The combination of historically low interest rates and low prices has helped the market tremendously despite recent fluctuations in consumer confidence. June also saw a 12.9% decline in homes listed for sale, continuing a recent trend as sales increased. The reduction in listings was needed during the depths of the recession in order to clear foreclosures from the market. However, in today’s market the contraction of listings has led to...

Milwaukee   We're halfway through 2012, and what a year it's been. Residential real estate has finally taken some meaningful strides toward recovery, and they've all been self-powered without divine (or governmental) intervention. Yes, there have been some head fakes in the past, but there's real reason to believe that market turnaround awaits us. Beyond home prices, key metrics to watch include Days on Market, Percent of List Price Received and Months Supply of Inventory. Locally, a few indicators showed improvement. Let's see what the rest of our local data has to say.       New Listings in the Milwaukee region decreased 14.5 percent to 2,218. Pending Sales were down 13.7 percent to 1,068. Inventory levels shrank 16.2 percent to 9,947 units.   Prices moved higher. The Median Sales Pri...
