      <title>Trial Loan Modifications...few turning into permanent fixes</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interesting article in the WSJ on &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125789968804542599.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Loan Modifications&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/search/search_center.html?KEYWORDS=RUTH+SIMON&amp;amp;ARTICLESEARCHQUERY_PARSER=bylineAND&quot;&gt;RUTH SIMON&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Obama administration said Tuesday that its mortgage-modification program has enrolled one in five eligible homeowners, a sign the effort is gathering momentum after a slow start. But so far few of those trial modifications are turning into permanent fixes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether the program will ultimately be judged a success will depend upon how many trial modifications become permanent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The administration won't release figures on completed modifications until December, but so far it appears that very few trial modifications are becoming permanent, often because of a lack of documentation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It's a fiasco in the making,&quot; said Alan White, an assistant professor at Valparaiso University in Indiana, citing preliminary information about low numbers of permanent modifications and complaints from attorneys and housing counselors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The good news is you've gotten all these homeowners in from the cold and on these temporary modifications,&quot; Mr. White said. &quot;The bad news is we are stumbling in getting all these people...all the way&quot; to keeping their homes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's not clear yet what will happen to borrowers who make payments, but don't submit required paperwork.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We have gone the extra mile,&quot; said Assistant Treasury Secretary Michael Barr in an interview. &quot;Now it's up to the servicers to close the deal.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The administration continues to look for ways to address challenges in turning trial modifications into permanent fixes, a Treasury spokeswoman said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Loosening documentation requirements should make it easier to complete some modifications, said Sanjiv Das, president of Citigroup's mortgage unit, which has finalized more than 1,600 of the modifications. Roughly 70% of the 68,000 borrowers in the program are current on their payments, Citigroup said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still, some borrowers say their mortgage companies have kept them in limbo for months. Gerald Bullock of Cincinnati said he has made seven trial payments and provided J.P. Morgan more than 60 pages of documents, but this week got another request for documents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We don't know if we have a house to live in or not,&quot; said Mr. Bullock, who fell behind on payments after becoming disabled in a workplace injury. &quot;It just adds to [my] anger and depression.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A J.P. Morgan spokesman said Tuesday that Mr. Bullock's final modification was approved Friday and paperwork finalizing it will be sent this week. &quot;Unfortunately, we mistakenly called him for additional documents,&quot; the spokesman said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an effort to get required documents, Saxon recently offered more than 5,000 Florida and California borrowers in the trial program $25 gift cards if they brought their paperwork to a nearby company event. About 15% responded, the company said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Freddie Mac, the government-controlled mortgage company, recently hired Titanium Solutions Inc. to go door-to-door gathering needed documents. &quot;Most of our borrowers got into the loan with assistance&quot; and need similar help with the modification process, said Freddie Mac Senior Vice President Ingrid Beckles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Susan Cook, a real-estate broker who works as a home-retention consultant for Titanium, said borrowers often report that they have sent in their paperwork &quot;two or three times.&quot; But &quot;there is always some little piece that is probably missing,&quot; she said.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Home Buyer Tax Credit Expansion Examples</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;Although the tax credit remains at $8,000 for homebuyers that have not owned a primary residence in the last three years, it has been expanded to include a $6,500 tax credit for homebuyers that have lived in their current primary residence for at least five consecutive years out of the past eight years. Under the old rules, move-up homebuyers did not qualify.&quot; Consider these three examples:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example 1:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jane purchased a home in 2002, lived there for 5 years as her primary home, moved out in 2007, and turned that home into a rental property. If Jane decides to buy a new primary residence today, she would qualify for the $6,500 tax credit based on the fact that she lived in the same residence as her primary home for at least five consecutive years out of the past eight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example 2:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harry purchased a home in 2004, and lived there for the past 5 years as his primary home. If Harry decides to buy a new primary residence today, he would qualify for the $6,500 tax credit based on the fact that he lived in the same residence as his primary home for at least five consecutive years out of the past eight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example 3:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nicole purchased a home in 2006, and lived there for the past 3 years as her primary home. If Nicole decides to buy a new primary residence today, she would not qualify for the $6,500 tax credit based on the fact that she did not live in the same residence as her primary home for at least five consecutive years out of the past eight.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The tax credit applies to homes purchased for less than $800,000 before May 1, 2010. &quot;If you sign a binding contract to purchase a home before May 1st, you would need to close on the transaction before July 1, 2010,&quot; Nicholas said. &quot;It works kind of like a gift certificate that can be redeemed for cash. You simply file a form with the IRS right after you buy your home, and the IRS will send you a check for the full amount of your credit.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The income limitation for single tax payers went up from $75,000 under the old rules to $125,000 under the new rules. For married tax payers, the income limitation went up from $150,000 to $225,000. &quot;This means that more people will qualify for the credit - especially in parts of the country with higher costs of living,&quot; Nicholas said. &quot;This should help stimulate parts of the housing market that may not have been impacted by the old version of the credit.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are many creative ways of structuring your home purchase transaction in ways that maximize the benefits of the credit. Here are a few examples:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-The credit applies to 1-4 unit homes as long as you live in one of the units as your primary residence - you could live in one unit and rent out the others&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-If two unmarried individuals buy a home, and only one of the individuals qualifies for the credit based on their income or past home ownership status, the individual who qualifies for the credit can claim the full credit. (Note: In the case of married couples, both spouses must qualify for the credit).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-The credit applies even if you have co-signers on your mortgage loan&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>New Home Buyer Tax Credit and Extention of the 1st Time Homebuyer Tax Credit</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://newsletter.rismedia.com/newsletters/preview/2023/59729/1239256&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;RISMEDIA, November 6, 2009&lt;/a&gt;-After the Senate gave final approval last night without a dissenting vote, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly this afternoon to pass legislation containing an extension and expansion of the homebuyer tax credit, completing Congressional action and sending the tax credit to President Obama for his signature, possibly as early as tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The $8,000 homebuyer tax credit for first-time buyers, due to expire in 25 days, will be extended through &lt;strong&gt;April 30 of next year&lt;/strong&gt; and buyers will have an additional two months, &lt;strong&gt;until the end of June, to close&lt;/strong&gt;. First-time buyers who are in the process of making a purchase will no longer need to worry about qualifying for the $8,000 credit if they close after the November 30 deadline. The new legislation increases the income limit for couples with income up to $225,000, a nearly $55,000 increase above the level in existing law.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the first time, the new legislation makes buyers who already own a home eligible for a credit. &lt;strong&gt;A $6,500&lt;/strong&gt; maximum credit will be available to &lt;strong&gt;existing homeowners&lt;/strong&gt; who have lived in their current residence for five of the prior eight years. The legislation limits eligibility for the existing homeowner credit to homes worth $800,000 or less.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Home Buyer Tax Credit Extension Done Deal by Friday? </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last night the Senate voted cloture on a bill that includes the extension of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/2009/index.html&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;first time home buyer tax credit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While this is not the final vote, it effectively seals the deal on the plan to extend the $8000 first time buyer credit through April 30th and expand said credit to move-up buyers on a smaller ($6500) scale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check out&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnbc.com/id/15837548/cid/97033&quot;&gt;Diana Olick&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;article ...&lt;br /&gt;CNBC Real Estate Reporter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnbc.com/id/33603328&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Home Buyer Tax Credit Done: Does it Matter?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The extension is also an expansion, giving some move up buyers $6500 more in purchasing power, but that's only up to the income cap of $150,000 for single filers and $225,000 for joint filers.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Las Vegas Foreclosure filings, Notice of Defaults, are the numbers really leading to foreclosures?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;While Las Vegas is always the top in the nation for this title of foreclosure filings, this does not mean all those will become foreclosures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The amount of Las Vegas Short Sales in the MLS that are in Pending or&amp;nbsp;Contingent&amp;nbsp;status is as of today, is at 8,719 per our local MLS stats for resale homes/condos,etc in the Las Vegas area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The amount of Las Vegas Loan Modifications in process is also huge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because of just these 2 factors (there are more), many of the foreclosures will get delayed, we hope permanently, but if nothing else, we could see 3-6 months delays, just based on current activity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What this means is that for every Notice of Default that is filed on one of our Las Vegas Short Sales, we fight like HECK to get them closed as soon as we can to beat the sale date or we fight like HECK to get the foreclosure sale date postponed until we can get it the deal sold and closed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes you can be 3 months into a Bank of America Short Sale and may have already put off a foreclosure sale date or two and may still fight to do it once or twice more before the home closes escrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are still many that will foreclose as unfortunately from what I'm seeing is many homeowners who don't qualify for a loan modification they may&amp;nbsp;be unaware&amp;nbsp;that they could do a Las Vegas Short Sale to avoid the foreclosure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The banks are always saying &quot;we don't want to foreclose&quot; , so if that is the case,, it may indicate they will be more willing to do the short sales and postpone the foreclosure sale date.&amp;nbsp; Although some banks can move a short sale thru their system in 60 days, many of them can't , we can hope the process will become quicker&amp;nbsp;but don't hold your breath. So again, this makes the numbers a bit skewed as it adds more delays.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So on one hand I'm optimistic that a lot of Las Vegas Short Sales will close and avoid foreclosure, the other hand feels we may be just delaying the possible recovery in our market and many foreclosures will still go thru.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Pending home sales rose again according to the National Association of Realtors&#174;-Las Vegas area Pending and Contingent sales..</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Pending home sales rose again, marking eight consecutive monthly gains - the longest streak since measurement began in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors&amp;reg;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realtor.org/wps/wcm/connect/RO-Content/ro/research/chief_economist_bio&quot;&gt;Lawrence Yun&lt;/a&gt;, NAR chief economist, said the momentum is understandable. &quot;What we're witnessing is a rush of first-time buyers trying to beat the expiration of the tax credit at the end of this month,&quot; he said. &quot;Home values will stabilize sooner rather than over-correcting. That, in turn, will mean wealth stabilization for the vast number of middle-class families and lay the foundation for a durable economic recovery.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Las Vegas area Pending and Contingent sales or resale homes are as of today per our MLS stats at 14,766. That is a great number to have, but it may take months to close a lot of them due to 8,719 of them being Las Vegas area Short Sales.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Firt Time Home Buyer Tax Credit -looks like it is closer to getting the extension</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are still kinks to work out ...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CNN reports...&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/28/senate.homebuyers.credit/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Senate likely to extend homebuyers' tax credit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Washington (CNN)&lt;/strong&gt; -- Senate leaders have reached a tentative deal to extend the first-time homebuyers' tax credit that was originally passed earlier this year as part of the stimulus bill, Republican and Democratic sources told CNN on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The agreement would extend and expand the credit to include current homeowners who want to move, according to the sources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original credit in the stimulus bill is set to expire at the end of November and offers a tax credit of $8,000 to first-time homebuyers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senate sources told CNN they have tentatively agreed to extend that $8,000 credit for first-time buyers until the end of April. In addition, they are adding a $6,500 credit for some current homeowners who buy a new residence by then.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To qualify, current homeowners must have lived in their primary residence for five continuous years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Las Vegas is #1 Again-(Not that we want this title!) New Foreclosure Hot Spots Emerge in Q3 2009 -</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;When times are good we are #1 and when they are bad, we are #1 again...Ugh...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even though our inventory of single family resale homes has dropped below 9,000, the looming foreclosure notices are still at record highs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our pending and contingent are at around the 12,000 mark.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are still a lot of homes sitting vacant, not on the mls, that are bank owned, so it will be interesting to see if they keep putting them on the market at a dribble or if they flood it at one time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RISMEDIA, October 28, 2009-RealtyTrac, one of the leading online marketplaces for foreclosure properties released its Q3 2009 Metropolitan Foreclosure Market Report, which shows that cities in California, Florida and Nevada accounted for the 10 highest foreclosure rates in the third quarter among metro areas with a population of 200,000 or more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But five of those Top 10 metro areas reported decreasing foreclosure activity from the third quarter of 2008, while many other metro areas with Top 50 foreclosure rates reported sharp increases in foreclosure activity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Rising unemployment and a new variety of mortgage resets continued to gradually shift the nation's foreclosure epicenters in the third quarter away from the hot spots of the last two years and toward some metro areas that had avoided the brunt of the first foreclosure wave,&quot; said James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. &quot;While toxic subprime mortgages drove much of that first wave of foreclosures, high unemployment and exotic Alt-A Option ARMs are spreading the foreclosure flood to more metro areas in 2009.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New foreclosure hot spots flare up&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among the top 50 metro foreclosure rates, the three biggest year-over-year increases were in Boise City-Nampa, Idaho, and Provo-Orem and Salt Lake City in Utah. In several states the largest increases were posted in cities not previously a focal point for foreclosure activity. The Chico metro area posted the biggest year-over-year increase in California, with foreclosure activity up 98% from the third quarter of 2008. The medium-sized metro about 100 miles north of Sacramento had a 12.8% unemployment rate in August, above the state and national averages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A similar trend was seen in cities like Reno-Sparks, Nev., with an 80% year-over-year increase in foreclosure activity, Prescott, Ariz., with a 77% increase, Jacksonville, Fla., with a 64% increase, Rockford, Ill., with a 64% increase, and Lansing-East Lansing, Mich., with a 41% increase.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Top metro foreclosure rates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Las Vegas posted the nation's highest metro foreclosure rate, with 5.13% (one in 20) of its housing units receiving a foreclosure filing during the quarter-nearly seven times the national average. A total of 40,408 Las Vegas properties received a foreclosure filing during the quarter, an increase of nearly 9% from the previous quarter and an increase of nearly 54% from the third quarter of 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Is it too late to get the $8,000 First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit in Las Vegas? or anyplace else?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Again it is one of those maybe yes, maybe no, it all depends.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just my&amp;nbsp;2 cents worth....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The odds of buying a home now (Nov 30th deadline to close) and closing a loan in time to get the tax credit are most likely very slim to none now due to the financing backlogs and the rush to get all the loans closed in time.&amp;nbsp;Delays are happening even with conventional loans here in Vegas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm sure there will be many that will be able to get in under the deadline, but at this point in the game, if your only reason to buy a home is to get the tax credit, you need to ask yourself .....will you still proceed with the sale if it closes after the deadline and you can't get the tax credit?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If your answer is No,,,,then another question you need to ask yourself is....are you willing to loose your earnest money deposit if you don't follow thru with the purchase?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is getting the tax credit really more important to you then buying that home you have always wanted?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many sellers are now asking these questions and be prepared to see wording in the contracts about this as sellers and agents are most likely not going to want to put in offers for buyers who are &quot;wishy washy&quot; about this.&lt;/p&gt;
