May 5, 2008 - First quarter mortgage originations tumbled from a year earlier but were better than the 4th quarter of 2007. Among 14 of the largest U.S. primary lenders, residential volume was $370.6 billion during the first quarter of 2008, down about 22 percent from the first quarter 2007 but up approximately 3 percent from the 4th quarter 2007. Countrywide Financial Corp., which is expected to be acquired by Bank of America Corp. during the third quarter, retained its No. 1 spot. While planned program cutbacks will likely push volume lower, total business from the merged operation should still leave the combined entity as the country's biggest mortgage lender.

The number of vacant homes for sale in the United States set a new record in the first quarter of 2008, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Monday.The Census Bureau reported that 2.9 percent of U.S. homes or 2.28 million properties, not including rentals, were vacant and for sale. It was the highest quarterly number as far back to 1956 when records of such vacancies were first kept. The West had the biggest gain in vacancy rates among home owners, rising to 3.2 percent in the January-March period from 2.6 percent in the same quarter a year earlier. Vacancy rates inched up in the Northeast and remained steady in the Midwest and South.Source: The Associated Press, Alan Zibel (04/28/08)
The Florida House could approve a change to the landlord-tenant law allowing the landlord to charge a penalty of up to two months of rent as a "termination fee". The present laws allow landlords to charge up to the "actual damages" if a tenant breaks his lease. Renters would have the option to accept or reject the two-month maximum penalty at the time of signing their contract. Some renters could benefit from the two-month penalty, since in a low occupancy rental community, the landlord is now able to charge rent for a long time until he finds a new tenant. In essence, when signing the lease, the tenant would have to decide in which direction he wants to go.

Analysts Say Inventories May Shrink Soon
The supple inventory of homes available for sale in major metropolitan areas rose in April, according to figures compiled by ZipRealty Inc. But analysts believe the supply of houses may plateau.
The inventory was up about 6 percent from April 2007 in the 18 metro areas for which Zip, a California-based real-estate brokerage, has comparable year-earlier data.
Compared with March of this year, inventories expanded 3.5 percent in the 29 markets the company tracks. However, the number of homes on the market normally increases during this month-to-month timeframe.
Michael Larson, a real estate analyst with Weiss Research, says, “Inventories in some cities may be topping out” because there are fewer new homes being built and builders and banks have been very aggressive in selling off foreclosures and previously built homes.

U.S. House Passes Plan to Help Borrowers
On Thursday May 8th, U.S. House of Representatives voted yes on a $ 300 billion package to help homeowners facing foreclosure. Owners of Florida Condos, Florida Homes, or any Residential Florida Real Estate, could get a substantial relief from this program .
The main provision is that affected lenders would take advantage of an FHA guarantee on such loans. The FHA refinancing will be subject to the lenders writing down 15% of the home’s current appraised value. This bill does not cover investors and borrowers who lied about their income when they applied to their original loan.
First-time home buyers would get $7,500 assistance in the form of a tax credit and US government would provide $15 billion to allow communities to acquire and fix abandoned homes. 39 Republicans supported the FHA proposal and it passed with a 266 to 155 vote. The tax credit to homebuyers drew a broader support (322 to 94).
The bill now goes to the Senate, which must debate and vote on it.
However, President Bush signaled that he will veto the bill if it is approved, since it would “force the FHA and tax payers to take on excessive risk, and jeopardize FHA’s solvency”.
The White house has expressed concerns in the sense that mortgage lenders would use the new law to transfer their subprime and high-loans to the federal government.
A research report from Pew Center on the States is showing that foreclosures are accelerating and have reached 7,000 to 8,000 per day.

Vous faut-il des raisons plus actuelles pour acheter un condo a South Beach, un apartement a Miami, un condo a Hollywood ou un condo a Hallandale?
Explicando el 'Short-Sale'.
Hasta hace poco, como agentes inmobiliarios en la Florida, habiamos oido muy poco del 'Short-Sale'. Pero la situacion especial del mercado inmobiliario y de los Bienes Raices en Florida lo ha puesto de moda, por asi decirlo, y hoy en dia es un mecanismo frecuente cuyos pormenores apenas se empiezan a conocer. Analicemos el Short Sale desde los puntos de vista opuestos del vendedor y del comprador. Ud., por ejemplo, esta a la busqueda de una casa en Pembroke Pines, un condo en Aventura, un condominio en Miami, un apartamento en South Beach, un condo en Miramar, una casa en Orlando, un Condo Floride, un Condo en South Beach. Sabe que los precios han bajado apreciablemente y esta a la 'caza' de una buena oportunidad. Luego de indagar, le mencionan el termino 'short sale'. Sera verdad que Ud. puede hacer tremendo negocio, comprando uno de ellos? Aunque no es tan sencillo, es cierto que podemos aprovechar este tipo de oportunidad para comprar una vivienda amoldada a nuestros deseos a valores por debajo de los del mercado. Desde el punto de vista del vendedor: Hay un propietario de un bien inmobiliario, que esta muy atrasado en los pagos de su hipoteca, sus impuestos y quizas tamiben sus gastos de condominio. Ha tratado de pagar, y no puede con sus medios actuales. Ha tratado de vender, para remediar el problema, pero el mercado esta tan decaido que no hay compradores resignado a perder todo lo que tiene invertido, no consigue ninguna oferta que al menos le permita pagar la hipoteca al banco y salirse del problema. Lo que puede hacer es esperar el dia fatal donde embarguen su propiedad (foreclosure), con el agravante de que el banco hipotecario, en caso de no cubrir su prestamo y sus gastos, con la venta, posiblemente lo continue persiguiendo como un deudor insolvente y quizas trate de recobrar sus perdidas por otros medios judiciales en el futuro, contra otros bienes que el propietario pueda tener. La otra alternativa es ir al Banco y plantear el problema. El apartamento valia mas hace un ano, y el banco le habia prestado en base a ese valor. Ahora, el apartamento vale menos y si se vende no va a alcanzar para cubrir las deudas, y ni siquiera los impuestos atrasados El Banco, en ese caso, podria aceptar un 'short sale', es decir el Banco asumiria una perdida, de comun acuerdo con el propietario. Porque? Porque en un mercado tan deprimido, el Banco sabe que no va a poder vender facilmente y a un precio adecuado. Para evitar las demoras, los gastos del 'foreclosure' etc., que no harian sino aumentar mucho mas la deuda, y eventualmente tener que administrar apartamentos y casas, mercadearlos y venderlos, se decide por ese menor de los dos males: el 'short sale'. Espero haber aclarado sus dudas sobre este tema. Soy un agente inmobiliario licenciado en el Estado de la Florida. Lo invito a visitar mi sitio web donde puede encontrar muchas herramientas electronicas para buscar directamente en las bases de datos actualizadas. Todas las propiedades en venta o alquiler estan a su alcance, con lujo de detalles y fotografias. Las localidades y zonas residenciales son tambien descritas y mantenemos una biblioteca electronica de articulos sobre el tema de la inmobiliaria para su ilustracion. Y todo es sin cargo alguno para Ud. Visite: www.condo-southflorida.com
