What’s cooking in the High Desert Real Estate Market? More foreclosures… or is it real estate short sales? Whatever it is coming through the pipeline…it is huge!
If you read this article on DSNews (Delinquencies and Foreclosures at Record Highs) I’m sure you would be concerned and maybe this is why the federal government is ramping up the short sale process with a full set of new guidelines released in late November. According to recent studies and surveys the amount of homes that are in serious stages of foreclosure are mounting fast with no end in site. Right behind the enormous glut of foreclosures that are out there now awaits an already huge and clogged pipeline of foreclosure starts.
According to the DSNews article "Nearly one-third of foreclosures remain in pre-sale status after 12 months". As the next wave piles in, they will have to be released soon. This is may well be why the government is ramping up the short sale process. This article also states "for every loan that improves in status, three more deteriorate further".
Real estate short sales are going to become a major player in the High Desert real estate market during 2010. Lenders will have no choice as old and new foreclosures continue to clog the pipeline. Short sales, for most cases, provide the lender with a better sales price than a foreclosure, are in better condition (for the buyer) than foreclosures and help maintain higher neighborhood property values.
