Those of us in the real estate industry have been watching this story develop. It will definitely impact Colorado Foreclosures, but will also have a major impact on the nationwide housing market.

The core of these negotiations is whether the government can force banks to reduce the principal on mortgage balances for home owners who owe more on the home than the home is worth.

There have been well documented abuses by lenders on home owners struggling with mortgage payments, and many accusations of frauds against banks for seizing these foreclosures fraudulently.

However, as you read the article, keep this in mind: If banks are forced to reduce the principal on loans they have already made, thus decreasing their revenue, where will they recoup those losses? It doesn’t take a doctorate in economics to realize that costs will be passed on to new home buyers in the form of higher interest rates and fees. Those higher costs mean that the home buying power these new buyers have will be reduced. Ask yourself what that does to the real estate market.

You can read the entire article at the Washington Post:

 Government settlement with financial industry over foreclosure practices draws near

State and federal officials, who have been negotiating with financial firms over how to address widespread abuses in foreclosure practices, are moving closer to a settlement that could force banks to reduce the principal on mortgages for some borrowers who owe more than their homes are worth.

An official familiar with discussions between the government and the financial industry said the settlement also could require that banks increase their efforts to modify mortgages for distressed borrowers and pay penalties that could be used as restitution for homeowners who have wrongfully faced foreclosure.

Read the entire article.

It remains to be seen what impact this will have on Colorado foreclosures and homes in the metro area. Our team already has several Short Sale negotiators on staff to help you with Denver Short Sales. If you’r in a position where you owe more than your home is worth, give us a call at 303-817-0209, and we can talk to you about Short Sale options and help you understand the process. We do it everyday.

This week, our team has had 2 clients win bids on Littleton HUD homes. This is exciting for our clients and we’re thrilled to help them in the process. However, we have also had a couple clients lose several HUD and foreclosure bids on homes over the past month. Here are a few tips to help you make the winning bid on Denver HUD homes or foreclosures:

Don’t Ignore The Market

If you’re placing a bid on a foreclosure, research the recently sold homes in the area. If homes are selling for $250,000 in the neighborhood and the foreclosure is in decent condition and listed fo $220,000, the bank is not going to accept a bid of $150,000 – especially if the home has only been listed a week. Ignore the media and the well intentioned advice of friends and family and focus on the data.

Move Quickly

If you find a home you want to make an offer on, DO NOT WAIT! We’ve seen buyers find a home they loved but wanted to “wait a few days” to make an offer. During that time, other bids came in and our client lost the home. It’s a heartbreaking experience. Don’t listen to the media; Colorado bank owned homes in decent condition in many neighborhoods are moving very, very quickly.

Get Set Up On Daily Property Alerts

As I mentioned, the best homes are going very quickly and you need your bid to be the first bid recieved by the bank. To do that, you need to learn about the new listings the day they hit the market. Give us a call at 303-726-1874 or visit our website and get set up on daily email alerts in the area you’re interested in. When you receive the email in the morning, look the properties over and give us a call to see the homes that day. 

We’ve been selling Denver HUD homes for a long time. Let our experience work for you. Give us a call at 303-726-1874 and let us know what you’re looking for. We’d love for you to be our next client who gets a winning HUD bid!

Our team has been showing many Denver HUD homes over the past few months. This past week, we had a client looking at Littleton foreclosures. We placed a bid on the HUD home below on Friday and received word today that the bid was accepted!

I want to use this opportunity to again educate buyers considering foreclosures in the Denver metro area. The best deals are moving very quickly! This home was on the market for the minimum amount of time a HUD is required to be listed and was immediately placed under contract once bidding was opened. Our buyer made a strong offer and we were able to beat other bids.

However, we have had several clients, against our advice, submit very low bids on foreclosures and HUDs only to be outbid or flat out rejected by banks. If you are going to bid on a HUD home, make sure you research the nearby homes and make an educated bid. In most cases, banks have done their research on the homes they have listed, and severely low bids won’t be accepted.

If you’d like to talk to our team about Denver HUD homes, give us a call. We can help you navigate the process and provide you with up to date market statistics to help you make the smartest bids: 303-726-1874.

Several of our team’s agents are working with buyers looking at Denver condos. One of the top priorities in these buyers’ searches is the desire to live near a park. The largest of the Denver area parks, City Park, offers plenty of activities for everyone: The Denver Zoo, City Park Golf Course, The Denver Museum of Nature and Science, 2 lakes, and more.

Searching for City Park Denver Condos can be a little tricky, and some of the best complexes are a few blocks away. For instance, we have a listing in the Franklin Street Condos that is only a few blocks from the park, but won’t come up on a search for “City Park Condos.”

If you’re interested in this area, give our team a call and we can help you find the right home in the right area for you: 303-726-1874.

 Our team is constantly monitoring Highlands Ranch Foreclosures. This unit has been on the market for a couple months, but we thought it worth mentioning again. I have never seen Highlands Ranch condos sell for this low of a price. Ever.

This is a 1 besom unit in Sugarmill Condos Highlands Ranch. Sugarmill is a wonderful complex located a quarter mile east of Broadway on Highlands Ranch Pkwy. It’s close to just about everything. You can walk to shops, the rec center, parks and much more. While Sugarmill is primarily made up of Townhome style homes, this is one of a handful of condo style units.

At just under 500 square feet, its not a huge home, but you can’t argue with the price. Give our team a call at 303-726-1874 today to see this home. Our office is 5 minutes away and if you’re looking for Highlands Ranch homes for sale, this one is definitely worth a look.
