Consider before you ignore a very low purchase offer for your home. A counteroffer and negotiation could turn that low purchase offer into a sale. When you receive a low offer on your house, the best response is to counter with a price you’re willing to accept.
You just received a purchase offer from someone who wants to buy your home. You’re excited and relieved, until you realize the purchase offer is much lower than your asking price. How should you respond? Set aside your emotions, focus on the facts, and prepare a counteroffer that keeps the buyers involved in the deal.
A low purchase offer still means someone wants to purchase your home. Unless the offer is rediculously low, it deserves a response. Remain calm and discuss with your Realtor the many ways you can respond to a low purchase offer. Continue reading

February 17, 2011 – Nationwide housing affordability during the fourth quarter of 2010 rose to its highest level in the 20 years since it has been measured, according to National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index (HOI) data released today.
The HOI indicated that 73.9 percent of all new and existing homes sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 were affordable to families earning the national median income of $64,400. The record-setting index for the fourth quarter surpassed the previous high of 72.5 percent set during the first quarter of 2009 and marked the eighth consecutive quarter that the index has been above 70 percent. Until 2009, the HOI rarely topped 65 percent and never reached 70 percent.
“Today’s report shows that housing affordability at the end of 2010 was at its highest level since we started computing the HOI,” said Bob Nielsen, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder from Reno, Nev. “However, while this is good news for consumers, both home buyers and builders continue to confront extremely tight credit conditions, and this remains a significant obstacle to many
potential home sales.”
A Very Successful Contrarian
Chris Mayer, one of my favorite stock advisors, wrote recently about a man who must be judged an astonishing Contrarian. He was quoting John Paulson in The Daily Reckoning. John, as you may recall, is the famed investor who made more than a billion dollars by betting heavily against real estate as the boom was about to become a bust.
So what is Paulson saying today? “If you don’t own a home, buy one. If you own one home, buy another one, and if you own two homes, buy a third and lend your relatives the money to buy a home.” These sound like words of a man who doesn’t lower himself gently into the pool. He dives right in.
Now, many—or most—people may respond to these words with concerns about Paulson’s sanity. Or questions about what he’s smoking at the end of his work day.
However distant it may be, though, he has an increasingly worthy point. Pent-up demand for real estate is very high. How could it not be so…after the credit crunch and ongoing economic uncertainty decimated the likelihood that people would buy the home they’ve been wanting to buy?
Second (and this becomes a familiar list), interest rates remain extremely attractive, even though lending remains tight. And prices have fallen by roughly 25%—in many cases more, in many less—but the level of affordability has rarely been this high. And sales don’t come easily, so sellers are willing to negotiate.
The question this familiar list of reasons why people should be buying generally ends with? “So why aren’t people buying?” Continue reading
Bank of America Corp. said yesterday that it will temporarily stop foreclosure sales in all states, including Massachusetts, amid mounting concerns that the nation’s largest bank and other mortgage lenders have seized homes without proper documentation.
The move was made a week after state Attorney General Martha Coakley called on Bank of America and other major lenders to halt foreclosures in Massachusetts because of reports that executives routinely signed vast numbers of documents without verifying information, a process known as “robo-signing.’’
Bank of America, which is the first bank to freeze foreclosures in the state, was unable to say how many of its Massachusetts customers at risk of losing their homes will be affected.
The bank and two other major national lenders, GMAC Mort gage and JPMorgan Chase, had already halted foreclosures in 23 states that require a judge to sign off on them. Judicial review is not required in Massachusetts.
Yesterday, Rick Simon, Bank of America spokesman, said the lender will press ahead with foreclosure proceedings, but would stop short of actually taking back properties until the company reviews all paperwork. He estimated that could take several weeks.
“We will continue the foreclosure process on delinquent accounts, but we will not proceed to judgment,’’ said Simon, who added that the bank has no reason to believe it wrongly foreclosed on mortgage holders. Continue reading
