Real Estate Tips And Advice

©ADOBE STOCK

Seller Profits Soar in Pandemic Never before have #*( . '' -. ./** /* +-*‫ޔ‬/ . much as they do now — even during a pandemic.

The red-hot real estate market has driven prices — and profits — and inventory down, creating unprecedented gains in more than 90% of housing markets.

According to a recent study by ATTOM Data Solutions, which maintains what it calls the nation’s premier property database, homesellers nation-wide in 2020 realized a home-price gain of $68,843 on the typical sale, up from $53,700 in 2019 and $48,500 two years ago.

The profit on median-priced, single-family homes and condos represented a 34.7% return on invest-ment compared to the original purchase price — up 249.4% and 27.2% in 2018 — the highest average homeseller return on investment since 2006, according to ATTOM’s Year-End 2020 U.S. Home Sales Report.

While 2020 profit gains are

dramatic, seller profits and return on investment have been going up for nine straight years, according to the report. Last year’s gain marked the larges annual increase since 2017, as national median home prices rose 12.8% in 2020 to $266,250 — a record high.

All this is even more astounding given the conditions in which it occurred. As the coronavirus pandemic swept the United States in the spring, the economy suffered a dramatic downward jolt.

Unemployment levels rose to those not seen since the Great Depressions and hundreds of thousands of businesses closed, many for good, and many others drastically cut back.

But for those lucky enough to not feel the full or any effects — and the truly fortunate who experienced economic growth — a housing boom that began in 2012 continued apace, bolstered by those seeking refuge from urban centers, while a declining inventory pushed prices higher.

And though western states cities such as San Francisco experienced the highest gains, prices rose at least 10% in more than half the country

as most markets hit new highs, the report found.

Since the U.S. housing market began recovering in 2012 from the Great Recession of the late 2000s, the national median home price has risen 72.3%. Here are the markets with the largest and smallest gains.

The largest median-price increases in metro areas with a population of at least 1 million in 2020 came in Milwaukee (up 15.3%); Memphis (up 15.%); Phoenix (up 14.9%); Birmingham, Alabama (up 13.7%) and Seattle (up 12.9%).

Home prices in 2020 reached new peaks in 129 of the 132 metros (97%) analyzed, including New York; Los Angeles,; Chicago; Dallas and Houston.

The smallest gains among the 132 metro areas were in Worcester, Massachusetts (up 1.9%); Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (up 2%); Pittsburgh (up 3.3%); Boston (up 3.5%); and Daphne-Fairhope, Alabama (up 4.1%)

Real Estate Tips And Advice

©ADOBE STOCK

Mortgages for the Self-Employed Advancements in technology have meant +-*! ..$*) ' ) ‫ ) )ޔ‬$ ' freedom to many. Whether freelancing, working as a contractor or operating a business, the new economy allows these professionals to live and work anywhere.

But the self-employed still must combat significant challenges– among them the ability to get a mortgage, at least not as easily as their counterpart who work for an employer. And because of new requirements brought on by the pandemic, securing a mortgage is even more challenging.

Prior to the pandemic, lenders usually required only the previous year’s tax returns and proof their business was in operation.

Now, much more proof is required, experts say, such as year-to-date profit and loss statements and bank statements to back up profit-and-loss accounting.

In addition, you’ll still need to show your FICO score has maintained a solid average or increase and your debt-to-income ratio is sound.

While the pandemic has significantly impacted the documentation you’ll need for a mortgage, it might have also made things easier or more difficult depending on how your business has fared during this period.

For some, the pandemic has created unexpected opportunity and opened up whole new markets. The documented strength of this upswing can offer proof of your financial strength.

For others, it’s caused a slowdown or loss of work that can make obtaining a mortgage more difficult.

But keeping organized records, tracking your credit score and constantly working to improve your viability are key to proving your sound financial status.

IMPROVING YOUR CHANCES

financial statement.

Most CPAs don’t offer this specialized service because it’s a complicated process with many requirements. It can take weeks to finish and cost thousands of dollars, according to financial experts.

But given the stakes in a red-hot housing market, many self-employed workers view the time and expense as a deterrent to acting quickly on the home of their dreams.

But an unaudited statement is also acceptable by some lenders.
