Now may be a good time to buy a home because all over the country home prices have decrease
58.2 percent of the homes in Las Vegas are upside down
This article was published by the LasVegas Sun a few days ago, and it talked about how 58 homes with a Las Vegas Mortgage were upside down. This mean that the balance on the mortgage loan is more than the home’s value.
This is not limited to Las Vegas, all over America, in many cities this is the case. Many homeowners are choosing to walk away from their home rather have a home that is worth is than what they owe on it.
This leads to additional supply in homes and further decline in home prices, as lenders will be force to foreclosure on these homes and resell them.
Often times these homes are in disrepair, as a result the buyers will factor this into their offering price.
The government and many people with a vested interest in in our economy are publishing information on how everything is looking better, but the truth is this info is misleading. Since last year, various people have said that we have bottomed out and the economy will rebound soon. Even the second richest man, Warren Buffet, said this last year as this company invested billions into struggling banks and companies. Does he have a vested interest? yes, in 2009, he can out to say that he was wrong and that the recession is getting worse.
My advice is to hang in tight. If you must buy a home now, buy it smart, buy a REO property and don’t over pay. Get the lowest interest rate, 30 year fixed mortgage you can and wait till this economic storm dies out.
FDIC Bank having to pay for more failing banks
This does not surprise me. A few years ago, these same banks were giving money to everyone that had a heart beat. There was all types of creative loan programs for everyone. Back then if a borrower had just got his home foreclosure upon their was a loan for him. Looking back wasn’t that ridiculous. If someone can’t make the payments on their recent home what makes these make think that he will be making the payments on his new one.
If these banks were not loaning out the money directly to the borrowers, then they were loan out to other banks and those banks would in turn make home mortgages. They were all banking on the real estate market going up. I guess those 6 figures a years CPA that was working for them got that one wrong, as did the Feds, the US government, and other countries. What a global circus they ran. Now they will have to pay for all of that, too bad they were playing with our money, the taxpayer’s money.
Back a few years ago, everyday we were visted by reps of these Las Vegas Mortgage
lenders selling us on the various creative loan programs they call sub-prime. I recommend these loans once or twice, but never really liked it. Only when the client had no other choice. But I made sure that they knew exactly what they got themselves into.
