Delinquency Rate Experiences Largest Year-Over-Year Decline in Four Years Team Thayer Real Estate News Eugene Oregon

delinquent-noticeDespite seeing a slight month-over-month increase, the national delinquency rate on residential single-family homes experienced its largest decline in nearly four years, according to Black Knight Financial Services' "First Look" at Mortgage Data for August 2015 released Friday.
The delinquency rate, which includes residential homes that are 30 days or more overdue on mortgage payments but not in foreclosure, tumbled by 18 percent year-over-year in August down to 4.83 percent, the largest over-the-year decline since May 2011, according to Black Knight. This occurred despite a 2.5 percent uptick over-the-month in the delinquency rate for August 2015.
That 4.83 percent of properties in delinquency calculates to about 2.45 million mortgages nationwide, and the over-the-year decline represents about 548,000 properties. Non-current inventory, which includes all properties with loans 30 days or more overdue or in foreclosure, was down by 766,000 year-over-year in August, down to 3.14 million properties. All 50 states saw improvements in their non-current inventory over the previous six months, led by Florida with 18 percent. Wyoming, which already had one of the nation's lowest non-current inventory rate, saw a 0.7 percent improvement, according to Black Knight.

The number of residential mortgage loans in some state of foreclosure as of the end of August 2015 (696,000) was the lowest total since November 2007, according to Black Knight. This represented about 1.37 percent of the residential mortgage market, a decline of nearly 24 percent from August 2014.
Foreclosure starts rose by 7 percent over-the-month in August up to 80,500, driven by an increase in repeat foreclosures (borrowers who were in active foreclosure, then shifted back to either current or delinquent status, then returned to being in active foreclosure).

Team Thayer Real Estate House Flipping Traps! #flippinghouses #eugeneoregon #oregon #housing #market #realestate

If you’ve got several leads waiting to turn into potential deals, you can’t wait for one to suddenly come knocking at your door. Successful real estate house flippers have one trait in common: they place an emphasis on proper planning. Once you’ve secured a deal, you must decide what kind of rehab you will perform. Will you conduct a few simple cosmetic upgrades (like these  10 rehab projects you finish in one weekend )? Or, is the home nice enough to sell after  an easy prehab ? Are there structural damages that will require you to carry out more major renovations? Will you focus on implementing environmentally friendly renovations  – also known as “greenhabbing” – so that you  qualify for certain tax benefits ? Once you’ve determined your strategy, it is important to ask yourself these specific questions before diving into the construction action: What are the current market conditions in my area? What does my ideal buyer look like? Does my marketing cam...

Understanding the tax advantages and disadvantages of homeownership #realestate #taxadvantage #taxes #housing #market

It’s no secret that some of the major perks of homeownership are the tax write-offs and advantages that follow the purchase. In fact, according to a 2015 survey by the National Association of Realtors, 80% of homebuyers see homeownership as a good investment, and 43% think it’s better than investing in the stock market. Reaping the rewards of mortgage interest and property tax deductions is just one way to think of your home as an investment. But there are even more real estate–related tax advantages and disadvantages that can slip under a new homeowner’s radar. It can be relatively easy to trigger tax liabilities or perks (and then fail to claim them) on that new piece of  Eugene, Or, real estate . This is why it’s essential to touch base with your tax pro before every real estate transaction, no matter how minor a question you may have. Sometimes planning and timing make a major difference in the financial impact of a real estate–related tax; other times, ...

With the  spring real estate market  firing on all cylinders, it’s no wonder we are seeing investors come out in record numbers.  Real estate exit strategies  ranging from  wholesale deals  to full rehabs  have become incredibly attractive in today’s housing industry.
