6 compelling reasons to sell your home this year COURTESY OF THE PLATINUM GROUP, REALTORS

Homes continue to be a hot commodity and they seem to be flying off the market at record prices. There’s still plenty of people looking for houses and that’s great news for sellers. But if you’re thinking about selling your home this year, keep in mind that timing can make a big difference in the final selling price.

“It’s important for people not to be caught up in trying to time the market perfectly,” Shelley Bianchi-Pelle, broker associate from The Platinum Group, Realtors said. “Even with all the indicators and the best research, they won’t know when we are at the top or the bottom of a market until it starts to turn.”

Deciding when to sell your home is about more than just market conditions — only you can decide when it’s time to move. Keep these tips in mind while you’re considering your options: 1. INTEREST RATES While interest rates have increased slightly, today’s 30-year mortgage rates are still low, at just above four percent buyers are still attracted to the market.

Some experts expect rates to rise again before the end of the year so listing your home earlier will not only help it sell faster, if you’re buying another home you

still profit from the lower rates.

appreciation of recent years, but don’t get too greedy about getting every potential penny. It’s rare to be able to time the market perfectly and people get it wrong most of the time. Nothing keeps going up forever and there will eventually be a correction.

2. UPSIZING While price increases have calmed to some extent, they continue to climb and are expected to through the year. Buying up is a great opportunity while prices are still rising. Your appreciation will be compounding on the new, larger price — which means earning more equity than by staying in the smaller home.

4. BETTER ECONOMY Incomes have been escalating and unemployment remains low, and new tax legislation means more takehome pay. All of this, along with high consumer confidence and stock market

3. DOWNSIZING You still want to benefit from the

surges, keeps driving home sales.

5. MILLENNIALS READY TO BUY Realtor.com data anticipates that millennials could account for 43 percent of home buyers taking out a mortgage in 2018, leading to a lot of new buyers in the market.

6. LESS COMPETITION With Inventory still low, sellers have fewer listings to compete with for buyers. If you wait until the market

tops out, your collection of potential buyers diminishes. Additionally, new construction continues on the rise so selling your house early means fewer challengers.

“I think that one of the most important things that buyers can do in this market is to position themselves in the strongest possible way,” Bianchi-Pell said. “That means getting per-approved with a licensed and reputable lender.”

For the best results, you should always use a Realtor. The Platinum Group, Realtors are experts on guiding home sellers and buyers through the progression to keep their sale and/or purchase on track.

“In the current market, making as strong of an offer as possible is important,” Bianchi-Pell said. “Do your homework, be prepared, set your expectations correctly and have fun!”

A Platinum Group agent will lead you through handling disclosures, advise you about improvements you should make, help research potential buyers and negotiate the best terms for your situation.

5 tips for buying a foreclosed home

BY HOLDEN LEWIS, TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Buying a foreclosed home is not like the typical home purchase. In many cases: • Only one real estate agent is involved.

• The seller wants a pre-approval letter from a lender before accepting an offer.

• There is little, if any, room for negotiation.

• The home is sold as-is, and it’s up to the buyer to pay for repairs.

• On the upside, most bank-owned homes are vacant, which can speed up the process of moving in.

“Buying a foreclosure is definitely a bit of a grind. It’s not easy,” said Robert Jensen, broker and president of the Rob Jensen Co. in Las Vegas. “You’re getting fantastic pricing, but sometimes it takes going through a lot of houses and writing a lot of offers to get the home you want.”

5 STEPS TO BUYING A FORECLOSED HOME 1. Find an agent specializing in foreclosures.

2. Get pre-approved for a mortgage.

3. Know how long it takes to sell a home in your price bracket.

4. Study the sale prices of comparable homes in your area.

5. Remember, the home is sold as-is.

FIND A REAL ESTATE BROKER AND A LENDER The first two steps for buying a

foreclosure should be taken at the same time. While you’re looking for a real estate broker who works directly with banks that own foreclosed homes, get a pre-approval letter from a lender.

Elaine Zimmerman, a real estate investor and author, recommends that shoppers first visit any site with a database of foreclosed homes. You also could look at a local real estate website that lets you filter the results to see only foreclosures.

You might find the acronym REO, which means “real estate owned.” This signifies that the property has been foreclosed on and the lender now owns it and is selling it.

even a week before a listing actually comes onto the database.”

In places where thousands of foreclosed properties are for sale, you might not get much attention from overloaded agents. To prove that you’re serious about buying, said Jensen, “Right before or after you meet with the agent, meet with the lender.”

GET A PREAPPROVAL LETTER Unless you plan to pay cash, you’ll need a recent pre-approval letter from a lender. The letter will detail how much money you can borrow based on the lender’s assessment of your credit score and income.

“The problem is, buyers want to find the house first, and then they think they’ll work out the financing,” Jensen said. “But the problem is, the really good deals on these bank-owned, they go quick — and the buyer doesn’t necessarily have time to try to work out the financing afterward. They need to work that out first.”

Zimmerman said some firsttime buyers make the mistake of assuming that the bank selling the home will also finance the mortgage as part of the deal. “Don’t expect to get financing from the bank that foreclosed on it,” she said. “That’s a totally separate transaction, and they view it that way. The people in the (bank’s) REO department are not loan

GET A BROKER ON YOUR SIDE The goal of combing through foreclosure listings is not to find a house; it’s to find an agent. Banks usually hire real estate brokers to handle their REO properties. In many cases, the buyer works directly with the bank’s broker instead of using a buyer’s agent.

That way, the commission doesn’t have to be split between two brokers.

“A lot of these Realtors have a longterm relationship with these banks, and they know of listings that haven’t even come on the list yet,” Zimmerman said.

“Call them about the listings that you’re interested in, but also ask them about listings that may be coming up because sometimes it may take a day or two or

officers. They are getting rid of bad assets.”

LOOK AT ‘COMPS’ BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER There’s no rule of thumb on what the bank’s bottom line is on price. Just as with any other real estate purchase, you have to look at the recent sales prices of comparable properties, or “comps.”

“You really have to look at the comps in today’s current market conditions and write a competitive offer based on that,” said Jensen. “Sometimes the bank prices the homes really low, and the home will have multiple offers over list price within hours. Sometimes it’s priced too high, and you can come in lower. A lot of times, buyers will come to me and say, ‘We want to write offers for half price.’ It just doesn’t work that way.”

the same condition, and they sold for $200,000.”

Jensen further advised finding out how quickly comparable houses are selling. With foreclosures, a 3,500-square-foot house with a pool in a gated community might sell within days or hours, but more modest homes might sit on the market for weeks.

Or vice versa, depending on market conditions.

If the foreclosed homes you’re looking at are selling swiftly, “the best advice on a bank-owned property is to come in at your highest and best, unless the property has been sitting on the market forever with no activity,” Jensen said.

“If you’re going to be upset because you would have gone $5,000 more but you lost the property, just bid the higher price in the first place.”

‘BID THE HIGHER PRICE’ IF HOMES ARE SELLING QUICKLY Keep in mind that foreclosed houses generally are sold as-is. That means that you shouldn’t expect to get a discount to compensate for repairs.

Jensen said: “Let’s say the house is listed for $200,000, all the comps are $200,000, and so the client comes in and says, ‘Hey, look, I want to buy this house but I’ve got to do paint, carpet and fix some mold damage, so I want to take $15,000 off the price.’ You know what? All the other ones were in

FIND TRADESPEOPLE WHO CAN ASSESS, REPAIR DAMAGE Because repairs are almost inevitable with foreclosed houses, Jensen and Zimmerman recommended getting to know tradespeople who can assess and repair damage from pests, mold and leaks. Zimmerman said you should assume that the air conditioning needs to be fixed, and possibly the heating system, too.

It all sounds daunting. But at least you don’t have to wait for the owner to move out of the house. 

THE MORTGAGE PROFESSOR:

Will blockchains upend the home mortgage market?

BY JACK GUTTENTAG, THE MORTGAGE PROFESSOR

The answer is “yes,” because blockchains will reduce the costs and risks of originating mortgages, servicing them, consolidating them into securities, and transferring ownership of individual mortgages and mortgage securities. The difficult question is how long it will take, since the

forces that will array themselves against mortgage-related blockchains are formidable.

The block part of a blockchain is a set of accounts connected to a transaction, including all assets and liabilities, which are recorded electronically, and to which only selected parties have access, though in some cases

this could be the public. Viewing a single mortgage-financed home purchase as a block, the following parties may be involved: borrower, third-party property investor, originating lender, future servicer, home seller, Realtor, appraiser, title company, mortgage insurer, mortgage purchaser, Fannie

source of information about the transaction instead of multiple sources scattered in the files and computers of the individual participants. All participants sign off on the validity of the information in the block, and they may be the only ones who have access to that information.

The chain part of a blockchain could be the linkage to another transaction in the same property, which would be a small chain. Alternatively, or in addition since a block can be in more than one chain, the chain could consist of blocks of other mortgage-financed purchase transactions where the associated mortgages are intended for sale to a particular buyer, such as Fannie Mae. This would be a much larger chain.

A block might also consist of purchase transactions on which the servicing of the associated mortgage will be offered to prospective servicers. The design options are wide open.

What are the benefits of blockchain? Information from multiple sources is made available to every participant but has to be entered only once. This eliminates duplication of effort, and the delays and errors that inevitably result from it. With all participants on the same page all the time, processing time is lower. The more participants there are in the transaction, the greater the benefit, which is why the home mortgage market is a prime candidate. The other side of that coin, however, is that more participants mean more potential sources of resistance to participation.

A mortgage blockchain also has substantial potential for improving the quality of decisions by incorporating decision aids, sometimes called “smart contracts,” into the block. A block with the appropriate decision aids could attract borrowers by helping them decide how much to put down, what kind of mortgage to

select, and the combination of interest rate and points that best meets their needs.

Another potential benefit of mortgage blockchains is the impetus they may provide to increased productivity in those segments of the market where it has lagged. This includes property appraisals, ownership transfers, and the recording and retrieval of information on property features, ownership and liens. In the blockchains that emerge in future years, these functions will look very different, though in the short-term they constitute barriers that need to be overcome.

What has this to do with bitcoin? The connection is that the creator of bitcoin used the blockchain as a device for creating a self-regulating means of payment that had nothing to do with government. The bitcoin experience led others to realize that the blockchain device had many other possible uses. In particular, it had the potential for making complicated market structures, such as the home mortgage market, more efficient.

This does not mean that developers of mortgage blockchains will ignore the potential for creating means of payment on the side. Indeed, the two firms that have begun developing mortgage blockchains are both creating means of payment, called “tokens,” in the process. It’s tempting to describe this as “printing the money you need to start a new business,” but the developers do need a compelling story to make their tokens acceptable. The bitcoin story is that the total number of bitcoin that can be produced is limited.  Jack Guttentag is professor emeritus of finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
