There are still so many homes underwater, and another wave of short sale and deed in lieu homes to show up coming soon. Relationships with lenders valued to earn the potential listings.
Some home owners in some areas are experiencing increased value in appreciation on their properties. Listing inventory is still low, we are still seeing high demand and many interested buyer's on the same property which is driving the property values higher with the buyer's who bid higher, resulting still in being countered and bidding again to answer the counters. Only one buyer can earn the winning offer. We need more homes to sell for all the buyer's who qualify to purchase. Some of these buyer's are all cash offers from investors. Values are still even with appreciation the price point values of 2004 and 2005.

The question actually comes up in real estate transactions? Is this home haunted? Can I sell a listed haunted home?
This topic comes up now and then. Buyer's wonder if a home is really haunted? Listing Agents wonder how will they sell a haunted home, do they have to disclose that the home is haunted? Do seller's have to disclose that the home is haunted? What do you do if you have a client considering a purchase for a haunted home? What will you do if a seller has a home with the reputation of being haunted? What are the listing agent and buyer selling agent responsibility for buyer's and seller's on a property known to be haunted?

Home of the Week Plan 4 Mahina by Brookfield Homes Hawaii
I once lived with my friends in Hawaii for a couple of months while vacationing with my friends Mikki and Cris! Her brother and sister were so sweet to me, and the mom so gracious to have me! The Blow Hole we swam in and the pucca shells on the beaches we played are forever one of my fondest memories.
Tropical beauty, tropical weather, warm sea waters, green ferns and fragrant Plumeria flowers I can still visualize and smell when thinking of Hawaii and tropical islands!
My friend Goldie Eseas lives in Hawaii, her daughter and mine together we can have a great time! If I were living in Hawaii, I have a lot of Keller Williams Friends in Real Estate in Hawaii. I love this beautiful home in Hawaii! I love New Home Communities, and I love Hawaii too! I enjoy warm sea waters, and green trees, plants, lots of ferns, birds and flowers!
This home is just gorgeous with all the new amenities and latest features! I would like this! I could get use to this lifestyle very comfortably!

Credit unions say new rules will hurt lending - The Hill's On The Money
Credit Unions have been so attractive as non profits for consumers, their fees are less than banks if you are talking about opening checking account or savings, time certificates. I sat down with one of their bankers and learned how they are different. I sell Real Estate how will these changes impact consumers with Mortgage Loans? The real estate economy in many counties are showing signs of improvement with real estate appreciation improving property values, interest rates talk of rising but are still lower than years before for many other real estate consumers in past years. Right now other articles talk about a cooling, higher priced sales, few of them. Low inventory, we need those people who are thinking to sell for the buyer's who desire to buy. Those buyer's need options to meet their needs of qualifying for their purchases, affordability, and terms and conditions they can feel they can do with confidence and lender to back their verified buying power. How will the real estate industry be impacted by these changes? How will the cost and qualifying to purchase impact the buyers who are ready, willing and able now to make those real estate investments and purchases? How will the improving real estate economy be impacted by these changes? What do you think about what this article is informing us and what is your prediction?

While Existing-Home Sales Fall, Prices Rise
Some buyers are waiting until after the first of New Year 2014, some will wait until after tax day, April 15, 2014, and some will wait even longer. Waiting could cost buyer's more money to replace the home they are living in now with the amenities they desire, replacement property location, and size of home. As interest rates rise, buyers will qualify for less in pre-approval purchase price amounts. Buyer's take the risk and possibility of paying more for increased property values with growing sellers equity.
The right time to sell or buy a home is when it i really right for seller or buyer. Conditions, market, terms, job relocation, kids out of school? When it is right for the client, it is right for me too. I am ready to serve and work for successful closed sales transactions as your preferred professional Realtor when seller and buyer are ready.
