2016 Mortgage Delinquencies Bank Foreclosure Spike! Team Thayer #realestate #housing #market #investing #news #oregon


Most of the news regarding housing fundamentals has been positive in the last two years or so. But mortgage delinquencies rose month-over-month in January for the first time since the housing recovery began, according to data reported by Black Knight Financial Services on Monday.
According to the January 2016 Black Knight Mortgage Monitor, the share of delinquent mortgage loans (30 days or more overdue but not in foreclosure) has declined by an average of 2 percent month-over-month every January since 2011—until this year. In January 2016, the share of delinquencies shot up by 6.6 percent, an increase of 167,000 properties, according to Black Knight.
With January’s increase, the total of delinquent properties nationwide was approximately 2.57 million, or about 5.1 percent of all residential properties with a mortgage, Black Knight reported.
Will delinquencies bounce back in February? Possibly, according to Black Knight.
“It is typical to see a partial, but not full, recovery the following month,” the report stated.
The fact that January ended on a Sunday contributed to the increase in delinquencies because servicers are unable to process any payments made on the last two days of the month. According to Black Knight, the five largest over-the-month increases in the last three years have all come in months that ended on a Sunday.
The roll rates, or loans rolling into a more delinquent status, increased across all categories in January, with the more pronounced increase occurring in the early-stage delinquencies. The number of borrowers who became 30-days delinquent in January totaled 580,000, which was a 28 percent increase (129,000 loans) from the previous month. Loans that rolled from 30- to 60-days delinquent increased by 11 percent in January, while the number of loans that rolled from 60- to 90-days delinquent rose by 7 percent.
The share of loans that rolled from 90 days delinquent to foreclosure declined from December to January, since the Sunday month-end had no impact.
The combination of the increased roll rates with a drop in loan cures, or those loans that rolled from delinquent status to current), contributed to January’s rise in delinquency rate. The decline in loan cures was also due to January ending on Sunday, according to Black Knight. As was the case with delinquencies, the drop in cures was more pronounced among loans in earlier stages of delinquency. Loans that were 1 to 2 months delinquent experienced a 20 percent decline from December to January, while loans that were 3 to 5 months delinquent experienced a decline in cures of 9 percent.  For loans that were 6 or more months delinquent, the decline in cures was 13 percent. The number of loans that cured from active foreclosure also declined by 9 percent from December to January, according to Black Knight.

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, ...

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...
