“Shadow Inventory”, Does it really exist?

Get a Steal Deal in Fort Lauderdale & Wilton Manors

3 bedroom, 2 bath, Double Carport

We continue to see the South Florida real estate market recover, and
the single family home and condominium prices are increasing. We strongly
believe this can be a last opportunity to buy a Single Family home in Fort
Lauderdale or a Fort Lauderdale condominium at 50% or even 60% from the peak
market prices. Much different than three years ago when we had sold a Wilton
Manors foreclosure condominium for $68,000 when at the peak market price
was $210,000. Wilton Manors real estate is experiencing a rapid recovery.
The evidence is seen in the prices of the single family homes in Wilton Manors.

In 2008 just two blocks from Wilton Drive, the main spot where the Wilton
Manors nightlife, Wilton Manors restaurants, shopping of Wilton Manors can
be found. A Wilton Manors single family home sold for $149,000.
It was a perfect 3 bedroom, 1 bath home with an updated kitchen and bath,
original Miami Dade wood floors and an above the typical
8,000 sq foot lot. All of this for $149,000! No surprise this property had
fourteen bona fide offers, most cash. But the lucky buyer is now the proud
owner of this property for the past 3 years. But more importantly to note,
this same single family home is now valued at $225,000. That is nearly a
30% equity gain.

Will we see the same gains three years from now in 2015-2016. Surely it is
a risk, as real estate investing requires a risk taking open minded buyer.
And yes, in 2007-2008 there were very risky purchases. There is not one
sale we’ve done during those times and up until now, hundreds of properties
sold, none of them have been a loss in equity.

So you’ve been waiting to buy. Wanting to buy a bank foreclosure property.
A client recently said, “I don’t want to buy as the banks have hundreds of
single family homes in Fort Lauderdale that will soon be placed onto the
market.” Well, the bad news, this shadow foreclosure inventory that so many
of you buyers have been waiting to come onto the market, however disappointingly,
most of these properties are not as what was expected. Those properties have
been vacant for three and four years or more. There has been NO maintenance
of these properties, and the prices are not reflective of the condition.

So it is our recommendation to aggressively explore the South Florida market if
a condo or a home is what you are wanting to purchase in the Aventura, Miami or
Fort Lauderdale area. The listings are out there, but there is a definite and clear
shortage of inventory and an increased demand. Simple economics tell us,
when supply is low and demand is high, prices increase.

Please contact me, Frank Vigliotti, Realtor of the HENRI FRANK GROUP at
REMAX Preferred in Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale, Plantation and Hillsboro
Shores, Florida, if you have any questions or if you are planning to come to
South Florida anytime soon, call us at 954-604-9999. We would be happy to
schedule properties for you to preview.

$25B Mortgage Settlement in Court

I wanted to bring to you this article to demonstrate yet another step is being taken to get this housing crisis behind us. Some say this is moving in the right direction, others say it’s not enough to help the market, especially the South Florida real estate housing market. Read through and you decide.
In an effort for the HENRI FRANK GROUP at REMAX Preferred to continually bring their blog followers the latest Real Estate news we bring you this article, that has been taken from the Florida Association of Realtors online news data and was provided by the Associated Press in Washington D.C.

Gov’t files $25B mortgage settlement in court

WASHINGTON (AP) – March 13, 2012 – The government filed in federal court Monday a $25 billion settlement with the five largest mortgage lenders, putting an official stamp on the landmark agreement over alleged foreclosure abuses.

The court papers offered few new details on the deal between the federal government, 49 states and Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and Ally Financial Inc. The deal was first announced last month.

Banks will pay roughly $20 billion to help borrowers avoid foreclosure. Most of that will go toward reducing loans for about 1 million of the 11 million U.S. households that owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth.

The banks will also pay $5 billion in cash to the federal and state governments. About a third of that money will go into a fund to be used for sending $2,000 checks to about 750,000 Americans who were improperly foreclosed upon from 2008 through 2011.

The banks will have to complete 75 percent of their loan relief requirements within two years and 100 percent within three years.

The banks did not admit wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Federal and state law-enforcement authorities could still pursue criminal action against them, the government says.

If a bank violates a requirement of the agreement, it would face penalties of as much as $1 million for each violation or up to $5 million for some repeat violations.

The settlement, reached after nearly a year and a half of contentious negotiations, is subject to the approval of a federal judge in Washington.

It is the largest settlement involving a single industry since the $206 billion multistate tobacco deal in 1998.

But consumer advocates have said far too few people will benefit. The deal applies only to privately held mortgages and not to those owned by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Banks own about half of all U.S. mortgages, or about 30 million loans; Fannie and Freddie own the other half.

The banks will be required to make foreclosure their last resort. They won’t be allowed to foreclose on a homeowner who is being considered for a loan modification. The new standards are aimed at preventing recent abuses by banks such as lost paperwork and so called robo-signing – the practice of employees signing papers they hadn’t read or using fake signatures to speed foreclosures.

About 75 percent of the settlement money will go to California and Florida, two of the states hardest hit by the housing crisis and the ones with the most underwater homeowners.

ABOUT WILTON MANORS:
Wilton Manors is a somewhat small city located in the state of Florida. With a population of 6,189 people and just one neighborhood, Wilton Manors is the 308th largest community in Florida. Much of the housing stock in Wilton Manors was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Wilton Manors economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. Wilton Manors real estate is some of the most expensive in Florida, although Wilton Manors house values don’t compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S. Unlike some cities, Wilton Manors isnt mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Wilton Manors are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Wilton Manors is a city of sales and office workers, service providers and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Wilton Manors who work in office and administrative support (16.14%), sales jobs (14.68%) and management occupations (9.37%). Although Wilton Manors is a relatively small city, quite a few people get to and from work by way of the bus, often traveling to the central city of Fort Lauderdale.

The Heat is on South Florida Real Estate

This 2012 winter season, the real estate buyers are different than buyers of the prior 5-years. We are now in the fifth year of the mortgage crisis. This is the seventh year since hurricane Katrina and hurricane Wilma which I identify as the beginning of the decline in the South Florida Real Estate Market property values. Buyers continue to flock to South Florida for their yearly vacation, finding refuge from the cold winter weather of the north or for a simple winter holiday.

As real estate agents in South Florida, the phone calls and emails from these folks are pouring into our office at the Henri Frank Group. The increased demand to buy Fort Lauderdale single family homes and Fort Lauderdale condominiums is obvious when you glance through our appointment book. The Wilton Manors real estate market has again become heated up and the demand is greater than most neighborhoods in Broward county. There are only 68-single family homes for sale in Wilton Manors. The price range from $105,000 to $839,000. According to the RAGFL MLS, Realtor Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale Multiple Listing Service, there are only 13.2% or 9 short sale properties listed as Wilton Manors single family homes and only 11.3% or 6 homes are Wilton Manors foreclosure properties. These numbers silence the critics of this highly charged real estate market, who month after month predict an increase in the number of distressed properties in Wilton Manors. Simply put, these raw numbers proove them wrong.

It is important to mention, this year 2012 compared to the past 5 seasons, buyers energy and commitment to purchasing a property in Wilton Manors or a property in Fort Lauderdale is far greater. The market for second home buyers in our area continues to be a point of interest for not only people in the United States, but from all over the world. International buyers are buying South Florida real estate and continue to have a major impact on South Florida real estate sales month after month.

The Henri Frank Group at REMAX Preferred continues to reach out to not only local buyers, but has a worldwide audience of buyers. Their affiliation with the REMAX franchise speaks for itself. REMAX is #1. The unique REMAX network is the only Real Estate franchise that has a physical International identity. REMAX International enjoys a presence in 89 countries, with 6,256 offices and 87,336 real estate agents. The ability to market and advertise to this large number of real estate buyers overshadows any other local or National franchise in South Florida.

The Henri Frank Group has positioned their group for a strong year in 2012. Since 2006, founders, Henri Vezie and Frank Vigliotti have been relentless and non yielding on their advertising and marketing strategy, never pulling back from their presence in the Wilton Manors real estate market, or the Fort Lauderdale real estate market, and the South Miami Beach real estate market . Really, all through out South Florida. Evidence of their presence are the properties we are listing. We listed a single family home in Pembroke Pines just 20-days ago, three days on the market and we negotiated a bona-fide contract for our seller and that Pembroke Pines single family home will be a closed sale this Friday, 3/9/2012. That property was listed by other agencies and other South Florida Realtors but it is the Henri Frank Group who got the job done. Our listing in Coral Springs, that will soon be posted on the RAGFL MLS in the weeks ahead, demonstrates our reach and that our “100-step Strategy to Sold” is convincing and this sales strategy works to serve our clients.

Housing on the Rise: Pending Home Sales, Uptrend

According to the National Association of REALTORS, another positive sign of the housing market trending upwards, pending home sales on the rise from reaching a cyclical low in April 2011. The pending home sales real estate market are well above a year ago.

An indicator looking forward, the Pending Homes Sales Index, based on contract signings, rose 2.0 percent to 97.0 in January from a revised 95.1 in December 2011 and is 8.0 percent higher than the same last year, January 2011 when the Pending Homes Sales Index was 89.8.

Keeping in mind, the data reflects contracts signed and pending to close but not actual closed sales.

Here in South Florida, including the Fort Lauderdale real estate market, Palm Beach County and Miami-Dade County pending sales in January 2012 were posted at 2336 single family homes, 2894 condominiums and townhomes. In the South Florida region, 3155 condominiums and townhomes were CLOSED and 3906 units were sold in January 2011. Nearly unchanged in January 2012, 2498 Single family homes in all of South FLorida were closed as opposed to 2540 units the same time last year in 2011.

“Pending sales are up for the Henri Frank Group at REMAX Prefferd in Fort Lauderdale,” according to Frank Vigliotti, CDPE, REALTOR, PA and co-founder of the group. “We remain optimistic that with each month moving forward in 2012, we are expecting that not only the Pending Home Sales Index will rise, but the median home prices in the Fort Lauderdale real estate market also show gains”, added Vigliotti.

The Henri Frank Group at REMAX Preffered specializes in serving single family home buyers and condominium, townhome buyers in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, South Beach Miami, Plantation, Coral Springs, Hillsboro Beach, Boca Raton and all along the Fort Lauderdale waterfront properties areas.
