Homes more affordable in 2011 than ever.

New stats provided by the Keller Williams funded research at Baylor University indicates that home ownership afford ability has never been better.  

In 2011 is takes just 13% of the average salary to purchase a median priced home with a comparable down payment.  The graph below shows the trend over the most recent years. 

A mix of price, good supply and interest rates add to this equation.   But it may not last long.  Experts predict interest rates will go up to 6% by the end of 2012.

Need help to sell your home, Madison WI?

Why doesn’t my home sell?
 I have tried to sell before and it just sat there! I need to sell but the market is not good!! I need to move but I owe too much!
Yes, over the years we have heard all of these multiple times.
And you know what? We know homes are selling. You can get your home sold, but it is critical to have a top agent to help you. No longer is it ok to have a part time family member or cut-price cut-service company to do the job.
It is tough out there, no doubts, so you need to be sure you want to sell and do what is required to sell.
If you are ready to sell, we are pleased to introduce RealEstateGuy’s latest tool designed to help home owners.
A website with videos to help a home owner thru the decision process of selling a home. We called it www.SellMyHomeMadison.com. Try it out!

Recipe for a successful short sale Part 6

The most difficult part of a short sale is not the seller or often the bank, but keeping the buyer in the deal long enough for it to close.


I have learnt from around the country that educating the buyer is essential, but I have found that very difficult with  Realtors who have not really done many short sales.   When we give instructions on how to successfully take part in a short sale, our instructions fall on deaf ears.  


The buyers seem to know better.  What is surprising is that the buyers push back on ideas because they hear from their families that short sales are very tough and unlikely to close.  When the tragedy is that because they act this way, they are far more likely to fail.


So Buyers, when you are doing a transaction with Real Estate Guy team here is the way to do it so there is the absolute best chance of succeeding.

First, Why should you do this?


Answer 1, because you are getting a good deal on a home, below value, you like the home and if you are to invest time and money for your family, then don't you want it to be a success?


Answer 2, If you show commitment, we will not take any more offers so you know you will not be outbid.


1)  Know short sales are uncertain.  Do not undertake if your family need a place to live on a set date. (It doesn't matter how far out that date is)  Be ready to wait for your dream home.


2) but please know that if you wait it out, under this system know you will succeed 80-90% of the time.


3) Be prepared to write an offer with an inspection upon acceptance.   Yes this is a cost, but, if you find a problem we can adjust the price before approval.


4) Be prepared to have an appraisal.   Not only will this prepare you for the approval but if there is an issue with value, it can be evidence to support the sale price.


5) Earnest money, non refundable for a specified time frame after inspection.


6) If you show us that you are in for the long haul, than we will guarantee you we will not take seek other offers.  This means you understand and are committing to staying in the game.


7) Wait patiently, we know what needs to be done and sometime we can push it, others we can not.


8) Upon approval, you will need to be able to close in 30 days. (Another reason for the early financing.)


In summary, In an attempt to get a smoother sale that is more likely to close, we ask these things and in return, you get to close your home.  Is there a risk?  Yes, but there is in any short sale.  


We had a case recently when the buyer was fighting us on everything, no inspection no appraisal till after acceptance.  They did an inspection and found problems.  Wanted to renegotiate with the bank bank foreclosed.  Lost the home AND the inspection fee.  


Example 2:
You wait for lien holder approval, do the inspection but can not get the appraisal in time to close in the 30 days. You lose the deal and the inspection and likely the appraisal. 


So we ask you.  If you are serious about one of our homes, follow the rules and we will give you the best chance of success.
