The 800 Pound Gorilla
Posted on August 3, 2011 by
Although the drop in default rates shows promise, the amount of shadow inventory still creates a dark loom over the future of housing prices, according to latest results from Standard & Poor’s U.S. Residential Performance Index. The shadow inventory of unresolved distressed properties is currently at an estimated $405 billion, representing a four-year housing inventory and one-third of the outstanding U.S. non-agency residential mortgage debt. The report states that full recovery will only occur once the supply of distressed properties shrinks to less than a quarter of the current volume. Additionally, the monthly liquidation and cure rates are at about 2.5%. This is due to an overall resolution rate of 5%, where these rates have lingered in the past nine months. The slowing first default rates allows borrowers to resolve loans and clear out the inventory instead of defaulting and adding additional units to the current inventory. Read More→

We Are Better Than Banks
Posted on June 23, 2011 by
A study by west coast foreclosure research firm, ForeclosureRadar shows that along the west coast, at least, investors beat out lenders by a substantial margin in selling foreclosed property to end buyers. Buying short sales to flip is a great opportunity for some serious cash flow, and investors are proving to be much more adept at selling these homes than the banks that are foreclosing.
This also applies to homes bought at the foreclosure auction. When investors buy at auction, they take an average of 95 days to resell properties in Arizona, compared to 150 days for lender organizations. In California, auction investors offload foreclosures in 134 days compared to 227 days for banks. Investors move foreclosed property in 102 days in Nevada compared to 177 days for lenders. The comparison in Oregon is 122 days for investors and 208 days for lenders. In Washington investors move foreclosures in 164 days compared to 212 days for banks. Read More→
