REAL ESTATE NEWS How many foreclosures are there?According to www.foreclosures.com, there are currently 1,447,451 homes in pre-foreclosure; 832,281 homes are currently set to go to auction; and 1,217,885 homes have already been taken back by the lender. The number of homes in the foreclosure process as of July 2007 is double what it was as of July 2006.
What is the impact on the real estate market?The National Association of Realtors estimates that home sales nationally will decline by nearly 13% in 2007. Median home prices nationally are projected to fall by 1.2% in 2007. According to the PMI Group, Inc., however, many local markets are experiencing price declines well in excess of that, up to a high of 11.44% in Miami. States that have experienced and will continue to face the greatest declines are California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada.
What should sellers do now?Sellers should be realistic about home prices – the high prices of 2004 and 2005 are a distant memory. Home prices have taken a fall, and for those with houses currently available for sale, reductions may be in order to generate activity and offers. Sellers should demand that any offer from a buyer be accompanied by a pre-approval from a local mortgage professional.
