Disappearing Foreclosure Sales! Team Thayer Real Estate News #realestate #housing #market #foreclosure #news #oregon

Investigation One BH
Investigation One BHREO sales are not what they used to be. In fact, in June, REO sales hit their lowest point in nine years,according to a new report by CoreLogic.
Overall distressed sales in June accounted for 8 percent of U.S. sales. REOs accounted for 5 percent, which is a far cry from January of 2009, when REOs made up 30 percent of U.S. home sales. REO sales in June were 2 percent below last June and at their lowest for any month since September 2007.
While distressed sales play an important role in clearing the housing market of foreclosed properties, they sell at a discount to non-distressed sales, and when the share of distressed sales is high, it can pull down the prices of non-distressed sales. With this in mind, REO sales continued decrease contributes to the home price increase of 5.3 percent seen earlier this month.
California had the largest improvement of any state from its peak distressed sales share, falling 60.6 percentage points from its January 2009 peak of 67.5 percent.
“There will always be some level of distress in the housing market,” CoreLogic reported. “If the current year-over-year decrease in the distressed sales share continues, it will reach that ‘normal’ 2-percent mark in mid-2019.”
Only eight states recorded increases in their distressed sales shares in June, when compared to a year ago, CoreLogic reported. Maryland had the largest share of distressed sales, with 19.4 percent. The Baltimore area had the largest share of distressed sales of any city as well, 19 percent. Connecticut came a close second in states with the most distressed sales, 18.4 percent. Michigan had 17.6 percent in June; Illinois and New Jersey also each reported distressed sales above 15 percent.
Meanwhile, North Dakota, despite having nagging concerns with its energy industry and the fallout on home growth, had the smallest distressed sales share in June, 2.5 percent. It also saw a 0.1 percentage point year-over-year declines in distressed sales.
Similarly, oil states continued to see year shares in June. Texas saw a 1.2 percentage point decrease and Oklahoma saw a 0.5 percent decrease. Florida, though, led states in decreased declines, with nearly a 6 percent drop in its distressed sales share from a year earlier.
While some states stand out as having high distressed sales shares, only North Dakota and the District of Columbia are close to their pre-crisis levels, each within one percentage point.

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, ...
