Foreclosed Homes: Rise In Seattle Foreclosures

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Default Research provider has given a report on the growing foreclosure prices in Seattle. In this area there has been a current upsurge of 47% in foreclosures. This being a relatively low number compared to the rest of the strenuous coverage area led by the Default Research.

Seattle had primarily been able to escape the foreclosure built due to less speculative activities. It had even invested in a high median income rate as opposed to the home prices along with the less unstable home prices.

In King County itself there have been approximately 0.49% of households entering into the process of foreclosures in the last 12 months. Seattle had an average for homes in foreclosures which went far below other regions as covered by the Default Research coverage area. The examples are that of Southern California and Phoenix which only went for a 2 to 3% of increase in foreclosures.

The Washington State’s foreclosures were under control in 2007, according to Serdar Bankaci or the President of Default Research the abovementioned strategies worked well for the state. The piece of good news advocated by the provider of the present and accurate database of foreclosed properties and real estate dealings is that foreclosed homes will keep growing in a limited number. With home inventories being at relatively low levels and stable home prices coming up the year will be a hot deal for property sales.

Foreclosures and the subprime crisis may have caused instability in the real estate market, but foreclosed real estate can be an excellent investment market through which people can make a profit and help their families in case of financial crisis.

Bankaci’s clients in fact keep on receiving the latest and smartest updates in foreclosure dealings. So they can usually rely to make the most of their dealings. With this great ammunition the foreclosure investors are ready to have discretionary conditions exercised before making headlong purchase. The clients under Bankaci always receive an edge over other possible buyers as they can approach the homeowners themselves.

The inventory of foreclosures is also much lower in the state of Seattle and thus it becomes important to Bankaci that his clients get the best deal and contact the home-owners first. He also makes the foreclosure lists available to the clients and he can boast of success rate in foreclosure business with his clients almost greater than 20 times than that of the hub of the competition.

Foreclosed House Setting Records at Auction Sales in Kentucky

Monday, September 17th, 2007

The number of houses sold at an auction is increasing each day in Fayette County, and new records are set after every sale of a foreclosed home.

Clyde L. Stapleton, who works as a Master Commissioner for Fayette Circuit Court, is quite sure about breaking the old record of housing sales in his next sale. Stapleton says that by October 22 this year, his agency will sell approximately 628 houses. This figure is 11.9 percent more than last year. In 2006, his office sold 562 homes. He is very certain that the figure will cross 750 by this year-end with few more sales occurring after October 22.

Stapleton finds the right home, which will give his agency good returns, very easily. This is happening because of the current downturn in the housing industry, and a tremendous increase in adjustable-rate mortgage interest rates, which are causing a credit crisis and making homeowners incapable of paying their monthly mortgage payments. Moreover, personal problems like unemployment, divorce, health related issues etc are also causing additional problems contributing towards losing homes to foreclosure. Stapleton believes that lenders were never rushing to court to solve property related matters the way they are doing now.

As per the Stapleton’s observations, records are set every year in Fayette. A situation similar to this increase in foreclosures can be seen across the nation.

California based real estate tracking company RealtyTrac’s recently released data confirms the nationwide spread of foreclosure. Two months ago in July, the number of foreclosures was highest in Nevada, Michigan and Georgia. Nevada was at the top for seven consecutive months. In Nevada, there is one foreclosure for every 198 houses.

However, in Kentucky the figures were conservative compared to other places, according to the data of RealtyTrac. In July, Kentucky ranked 33rd in the list of foreclosures with 645 foreclosures in its profile. However, when compared with its own records, its figure is 19 percent more than last year. The ratio of foreclosure in Kentucky is one fresh foreclosure for every 2,896 houses.

According to Stapleton, there were many foreclosures initiated by lenders in Fayette County that were not completed. He assumes that in those cases borrowers might have paid their outstanding amount through refinancing of their properties. Borrowers get six to seven months time before foreclosure proceedings actually get over, said Stapleton.

Each auction and the property sold in the auction have to be advertised first. This adds to the cost of the agency. However, serious bidders collect this information from the website of the agency, said Stapleton.
