Find Roseville Homes For Sale

Foreclosure, Roseville Real Estate No Responses »

Feb 202012

Are you looking for Roseville homes for sale? Recent MLS statistics show that transactions are up significantly over last year. Whether you are a Minnesota first time home buyer, moving up from a previous home or an investor, today is a great time to be looking for a home in Roseville. With a combination of record low interest rates and reduced property values, housing payments haven’t been this affordable in decades. You will want to understand the 3 basic types of properties listed for sale.

Foreclosures in Roseville

Foreclosures often represent a great value for today’s home buyer. When a bank owns the home they want to sell it quickly as they are responsible for maintenance, utilities, and property taxes There is a lot of competition from home buyers today when a foreclosure comes up for sale at a good value. It is not uncommon to see multiple offers on a Roseville foreclosure, sometimes driving the price above the list price.

Short sales can be a good opportunity for home buyers who do not need to move within the next 6 months or so. When a seller has a home on the market as a short sale, this means they will not be able to pay off the entire loan they have on it when they sell the home. This means that after they receive your offer you will need to wait while the seller negotiates with their bank to forgive a substantial part of their debt.

Traditional sales from a home seller represent at least half of the homes on the market today. These properties are often great values in part because there has been a property owner there to take care of any the necessary maintenance on the home. A traditional home seller will tend to be more apt to pay all of your closing costs as well. If you are looking for a well-maintained home where you can move in quickly with great financing terms, a traditional home sale is the way to go.

Foreclosures: Considerations When Buying

Knowing What To Offer On A Foreclosure

A bank-owned foreclosure can be a great deal sometimes because the bank owns it and is paying for the maintenance of it. As opposed to a property offered as a short sale, the selling bank has a big motivation to get the listing off of their books. At the same time, banks who are involved in selling a foreclosure want to maximize the amount they get out of the property. In the lower price ranges it has turned into a sellers market meaning that many foreclosures sell for well above the listing price! Knowing what to offer for the foreclosure is critical in terms of being successful with your purchase.

One thing you should know is that bank-owned properties will almost always limit how much they will pay towards the buyer’s closing costs. If you buy a traditional sale we can usually negotiate for the seller to pay all of your costs. With either a foreclosure or a short sale however you will generally need to cover some of the costs on your own. If you qualify for a Minnesota down payment assistance programs this can be used to offset some of the remaining closing costs on bank owned properties.

Are you thinking about buying a home soon? In order to get prepared you should get preapproved for a home loan. Once you have done so we can focus our searches on properties that you feel you can afford comfortably. I work with all types of home buyers throughout the Twin Cities area and would I would like the opportunity to talk with you. Please contact me and we can get started.

Getting A Deal on Como Park Foreclosures

Como Park, St. Paul Real Estate No Responses »

Jan 252012

Looking To Buy Como Park Foreclosures?

Are you looking to buy one of the foreclosures in Como Park? Whether you own your own home now or are a MN first time home buyer, you should learn the basics before going out to buy. While there are many great values in Como Park foreclosures you will want to be prepared for how to negotiate your offer.

Como Park Information

The Como Park neighborhood is situated in the northwestern part of Saint Paul along the northern city limits. It is bounded by the cities of Roseville and Falcon Heights on the west and north. Nearly 2 million visitors are attracted to the Como Zoo and Conservatory every year. With a variety of affordable Como Park homes for sale, this is a great location for Minnesota first time home buyers.

Foreclosures are Bank-Owned

A bank-owned foreclosure can be a great deal sometimes because the bank owns it and is paying for the maintenance of it. As opposed to a short sale, the selling bank has a big motivation to get the listing off of their books. Since there are many buyers in competition with you, you might be surprised at what you will need to offer in order to get the property. In the lower price ranges it has turned into a sellers market meaning that many foreclosures sell for well above the listing price! Knowing what to offer for the foreclosure is critical in terms of being successful with your purchase.

Factors in Buying Foreclosures

There are 2 major factors to consider what you will make as an offer. The first is how long the property has been on the market and the second thing is the general property condition. A foreclosure that has just been listed is likely to sell for near the listing price (or even higher), while a bank that has a house that has been on the market a long time might be willing to negotiate for deeper discounts. Also, a home that is in poor condition may not be able to be financed so the bank may reduce the price far enough to attract cash buyers. I can help you determine these factors as we go out looking for Como Park foreclosures.

Foreclosures and Financing

If you are going to be financing the purchase of a foreclosure there are some critcal things to know. First, the property must be in acceptable condition in order to qualify for most loan programs. Properties that are in poor condition will either require a cash offer or special financing such as FHA 203k. Selling banks will also tend to limit the amount seller paid concessions towards the closing costs of your home loan. In most cases the selling bank will limit their contribution to 3 per cent of the selling price, or 2 per cent if you are an investor. Finally a selling bank will never look at your offer if it includes a financing contingency and if you don’t provide a preapproval letter along with the offer.

The First Step: Get Preapproved!

For many MN first time buyers the intimidating question is where do I start? Your very first step to home ownership is to get prequalified for a home loan. In so doing you will find out how much you are qualified for so that we can research homes in a price range with comfortable payments for you.

If you are planning on buying a Como Park foreclosure please give me a call or send me an email. There are many great Como Park foreclosure values out there but knowing which one takes some time and expertise. I would very much like to help you in your search for the ideal house!

What you need to know about buying bank-owned or pre-foreclosed homes.

Foreclosure, Twin Cities Real Estate No Responses »

Jan 122012

What do I need to know about buying

bank-owned or pre-foreclosed property

in the Twin Cities?

Often, distressed properties in the Twin Cities Area are in excellent condition and in very desirable locations. Homeowners in every price bracket areaffected by the economy.

Bidding wars happen in some Twin Cities Housing Markets, but they mainly occur in the most distressed ones. As in any market, the most competitive offers are most likely to win.

The key to streamlining the loan process and avoiding surprises is to work with an experienced real estate agent and a lenderwho regularly handles distressed property transactions.

The timeline for short sale transactions is tightening and REO transactions tend to occur within a faster time frame than the traditional home-buying process.

Foreclosures are happening in record numbers and sellers are very motivated.

Distressed properties fall into two broad categories:

Short sales or “pre-foreclosures,” where agents negotiate with banks to accept a sales price and loan payoff that is less than the mortgage amount. Short sales occur in instances where home sellers are “underwater” on their mortgage, which means that the amount of their current mortgage exceeds the market value of the home.
Foreclosures or REOs (real estate owned), which have become the property of the bank due to the homeowner failing to pay the mortgage for several consecutive months.

Twin Cities Sellers are Getting 90.1% of Orginal List Price….

Foreclosure, Hot topics, MN Housing Market, Ramsey County, Roseville Real Estate, St. Paul Real Estate, Twin Cities Real Estate No Responses »

May 242011

How do you know when you can get a great deal on buying a home in the Twin Cities? It all depends on your definition of what a great deal is. Here are a few numbers released by the Minneapolis Association of Realtors (MAAR) for the Month of April.

PENDING Sales are DOWN 25.8% from April 2010 to April 2011 (expected without Tax Credit).
INVENTORY is DOWN 16.1% from April 2010 to April 2011 (expected without Tax Credit)
MEDIAN SALE PRICES are DOWN 14.6% from April 2010 to April 2011 (expected without Tax Credit).
Sellers are getting 90.1% of Original List Price in April 2011, which is DOWN 3.7% from April 2010.

Based on the numbers released by MAAR all signs point to yes you can find a great deal. Inventory being down means less to choose from but median price down means better prices from just a year ago. Negotiations are favoring buyers to the tune of about 10% off. That means on a $200,000 house, offers are being accepted at roughly $180,000.

As in any Real Estate Market, Motivation is key. Finding great deals often is a result of finding motivated sellers. Bank owned, Estate and Short Sale properties can offer some of the highest motivated transactions in the market place. Having the right agent help you find great deals is also key.

Inside the Numbers – A look at Twin Cities Foreclosures…

Foreclosure, MN Housing Market, Ramsey County, St. Paul Real Estate, Twin Cities Real Estate No Responses »

May 042011

Just because a property is labeled as a Foreclosure/Bank Owned or Short Sale – Does that mean it is the BEST home for sale in the Twin Cities? Based on the most recent numbers released (March) by the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors we can use some factual data to help answer that question.

We would love to hear your comments as well – please feel free to post at the bottom of this blog – Thanks!

First – New Homes for Sale in Twin Cities in March:

Based on MAAR’s report there were 1,562 new Lender-Owned homes entering the market place in March 2011 (10% down from March 2010). On the flip side, you can see a huge decrease in new Traditional homes for sale in March 2011 – Down 36.8% from 2010 (largely due to the $8,000 buyer tax credit).

Second – Pending Homes for Sale in Twin Cities in March:

In March 2011, Pending Sales went up 30.7% from March 2010 for Lender-Owned Homes for Sale. From the Traditional Seller side, Pending Home Sales went down 30.6% from March 2010. Less homes entering the market as Lender-Owned. Traditional Sales only made up 427 more sales than Lender-Owned.

Third – Closed Homes for Sale in Twin Cities in March:

In March 2011, Lender-Owned Sales in the Twin Cities saw another increase in Closed Sales. There was a 30.9% increase in Closed Sales in March 2011 from March 2010. Traditional Sales fell back yet again with a 26.7% decrease from March 2010 to March 2011.

Fourth – Inventory of Homes for Sale in Twin Cities in March:

The amount of Lender-Owned homes for sale has increased (58.3%) in March 2011 from March 2010, which could attribute to the increase in Pending and Closed homes in March 2011. Traditional sales dropped 13.2% in March 2011 from March 2010.

Lender-Owned Homes for Sale and Short Sales make up roughly a 3rd of the market place. Paying close attention to the trends and ratios is important for both buyer and seller as they can have a great impact on how much you spend or net.
