As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, my goal is to provide you with the most current real estate informationthat’s available.  I know that buying or selling a home in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch is a big decision and I want you to be able to make the most informed decision possible!

We’re all aware that the national housing market has seen some ups and downs the past few years and that short sales have been on the rise.  Our economic downturn has forced many people out of jobs which makes holding onto their current home nearly impossible.  And, while many sought out a short sale for their home to avoid foreclosure,  a number were not able to go through with a short sale because of the money that was needed.

If you or someone you know was or is currently in that situation; there’s good news!  California’s Governor Brown just passed a new Short Sale law that will play a major role in the Califonia Real Estate market!  Take a look at this recent article by Alexis McGee.

New Short Sale Law is a Game Changer

by Alexis McGee

Ever since the robo-signing debacle, major banks have been forced to let severely delinquent homeowners sell their houses short (for less than the loan amounts owed) as part of a broad settlement of federal and state investigators. However, many short sales have not gone through because junior lenders have required the borrower contribute financially towards the deficiency. Even in non-deficiency states (such as California) where the senior lien holder typically doesn’t have the right to pursue of the deficiency, the junior lienholders usually do.

Not any longer in California. Thanks to Governor Brown and the newly passed bill SB458, which requires any lender that accepts a short sale (in a senior or junior position) must release the borrower from any liability for the deficiency. With this legislation, which is in effect immediately, regardless of what’s owed or if the lender has the right to pursue for it, if they accept the short sale, the amount they receive from the transaction will be all that they’re able to collect.

This is a good move.  A large number of homeowners will now re-consider a short sale, knowing that they won’t be forced to contribute more money in the form of cash payment or promissory note, which are often requirements of lenders. Also, many people who can barely afford their payment but don’t have the funds to contribute cash at closing (or via a promissory note), could now consider a short sale as well.

For the distressed real estate investor this is also good news. Short sale approvals will skyrocketed. And for investors looking for great deals, my suggestion is you focus on the fixer-type properties that have a higher chance of an aggressive short sale price being accepted.

There are four basic reasons this is true:

1. From the robo-signing problems of the past, banks continue to struggle with clear title issues post foreclosure. A short sale is a title guaranteed sale with a grant deed. Good for both the bank, the seller and the investor.

2. Properties with heavy deferred maintenance cannot be sold without either additional rehabilitation costs or deep discounts to cash buyers. A short sale allows the bank to sell to an investor without flooring a dilapidated liability.

3. Previous bank culture considered a short sale a negative action. Laws which force the action will remove the stigma and the banks will actually realize it is cheaper to short sale. Investors will find even more streamlined roads for cash purchases.

4. Homeowners who avoided short sales in the past because of second lienholders who held them hostage to promissory notes, additional cash at closing, or deficiencies after closing… will no longer have those obstacles. There will be more motivated sellers ready to make a deal and more great deals for us to buy… while helping the homeowner with their fresh start.

As you can see, this is a burden lifted for many seeking a short sale for their California home!  If you have questions about this new law or are considering a short sale for your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home; please contact me today!  I’d love the opportunity to talk with you and discuss your options.  Going through a short sale is a positive alternative to foreclosure and can save you years of heartache and financial loss.

Please feel free to contact me today for more information about short sales!

Whether you’re buying your first home on Lake Nacimiento in the Heritage Ranch or Oak Shorescommunity, or are just considering the idea of buying a vacation home on this beautiful lake; buying a home can seem like an overwhelming process.  If you are a first time home buyer, you may not know what exactly to expect from the home buying experience.

As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, I know the ins and outs of buying and selling a home on Lake Nacimiento and can help you navigate through each step of the process.  Below are eight simple steps that will have you well on your way to successfully buying your Lake Nacimiento home!

Step 1: Set Up Your Financing- Getting pre-approved for a loan is imperative in today’s Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market. Make sure you’ve spoken with a lender on how much you can afford and the type of financing you can get.  Having a pre-approval letter will show sellers that you’re serious about buying and it can help move the process along quickly.

Step 2: Examine the House Carefully- Even though the Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home you’re interested in may seem in excellent condition, you’ll want to examine the house very carefully.  Getting a home inspection will put to rest any questions you may have about the condition of the home and will let you know of any repairs that need to be made that can be included in your final offer.  Do not accept the home’s condition from its appearance alone.  You could find yourself facing major repairs once you move in.

Step 3: Set a Limit for Yourself- It can be easy to get swept up in a bidding war if the home you have your eye on is being viewed by a few other buyers. It’s important to set a limit for yourself and be willing to walk away once that limit has been met.  There are many great homes on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market that buying outside of your means is not necessary to get a great home.

Step 4: Decide on an Offer Price- Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent can help you determine your offer price as they’ll present you with the comparable homes currently on the market.  By viewing these similar homes and with the advice from your real estate agent, you can set a realistic offer.  It’s typical to offer 5-10% lower than the home is currently listed on the market, rather than making an extremely low offer that the seller will immediately reject.  A lower offer will show that you’re interested and will give them room to counteroffer.

Step 5: Decide on Earnest Money- Earnest money is cash that you can include with your offer to show that you’re serious.  The earnest money can vary depending on what you can afford and this amount will be subtracted from the amount you borrow from the lender.  Typically the earnest money is about 1% of the purchase price.

Step 6: Consider Your Contingencies- Things such as closing costs, inspection, the appraisal, or any repairs are just a few of the contingencies that can be worked into your offer.  Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent can help you build these into your offer, that will allow you to walk away or renegotiate with the seller if they are not met.

Step 7: Make it Move-In Ready- If you’re a first time home buyer, you may not have everything you need to furnish an entire home.  Asking for certain things from the seller such as furniture or appliances can be apart of the offer and can help your home be more move-in ready.

Step 8: Take Attention Away From Price- Most sellers do not want to see an offer that’s below the asking price, but you can make your offer more pleasing by adding in a few things such as an all-cash transaction or a quick close, that will sweeten the deal for the seller.

Following these eight steps will guide you through the home buying process and give you insight into what you can expect from buying a Lake Nacimiento home.  If you are ready to begin searching for a home in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch; feel free to contact me!  If you still have questions about the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market and would like to learn more about the homes currently available on Lake Nacimiento, I would love to meet with you and discuss your options.  Let’s make the dream of buying a home on Lake Nacimiento come true!
