Multiple Offers Commentary	Short Sale /Pre-Foreclosures and Bankowned property are the biggest fanfare to draw as many as 5-10 buyers at one time making offers. This is causing the prices to stabalize since these property types command full price or, over asking price from the demand. The under $600K price on down, is most popular since it is easier for buyers to qualify for non-Jumbo loans in this price ranges, so very popular inventory in most pockets of areas right now in these price ranges.

Comments on Financing For Qualified Buyers	As a leading real estate brokerage, we understand what it takes for our clients to get into the homes that truly meet their needs. This includes advising our buyers get full loan approval in place before starting to look at homes. Timing is everything in real estate and if you wait to get approval after finding the home, by the time you get all your paperwork in place to a lender, the home could be gone - in escrow with another buyer by that time. It is a heartbreaking situation to have that happen. Currently, it takes more to obtain a loan, even for a borrower that has the best credit and funds for a down payment. We have very competitive recommendations for your lending needs. We chose lenders that shop all loan products to find the best rate and terms, focusing on your needs. Please contact me to discuss.

The up-and-down ride for real estate the past few years was seen again in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to a survey of HouseHunt real estate agents across the country. There are pockets of good news offset by bad, with home values and prices basically bumping along the bottom of the grid on a perceived never-ending rocky road.
