Low Bank Foreclosure Inventory Reduces Market Share of Cash Sales! Team Thayer #realestate #housing #market #foreclosure #economic #news #oregon

With less REO properties available for investors, declines in REO sales triggered a further decline for national cash sales. Not all states experienced the same level of decline though, according to the latest Cash Sales and Distressed Sales Data Report from CoreLogic.
Cash sales accounted for 29.7 percent of total home sales in July 2016, down 1.9 percentage points year over year from July 2015. Prior to the housing crisis, the cash sales share of total home sales averaged approximately 25 percent. CoreLogic reports that if the cash sales share continues to fall at the same rate it did in July 2016, the share should hit 25 percent by mid-2018.
REO sales, no surprise, had the largest cash sales share in July 2016 at 57.6 percent. Following behind, resales had the next highest cash sales share at 29.4 percent with short sales close behind at 28.1 percent and newly constructed homes at 15 percent.
While the percentage of REO sales within the all-cash category remained high, REO transactions have been in decline since peaking in January 2011. REO sales made up 4.3 percent of the distressed sales share of total home sales while short sales made up 2.9 percent in July 2016.
Most notably, CoreLogic reported that the distressed sales share of 7.2 percent in July 2016 was the lowest distressed sales share since September 2007. As with cash sales, the pre-crisis share of distressed sales was traditionally significantly than that of the post-crisis share. If the current year-over-year decrease in the distressed sales share continues, it will reach that "normal" 2-percent mark in mid-2018.
Eight states did record higher distressed sales shares in July 2016 compared with a year earlier, though. Maryland had the largest share of distressed sales of any state at 19.4 percent, followed by Connecticut at 18.6 percent, Michigan at 17.8 percent, New Jersey at 15.6 percent, and Illinois at 15.5 percent. North Dakota had the smallest distressed sales share at 2.5 percent.
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, says CoreLogic, each within one percentage point.
On the cash sales side, New York had the largest share of any state at 44.6 percent, followed by Alabama at 43.6 percent, Florida at 39.6 percent, New Jersey at 37.3 percent, and finally Indiana at 37 percent.

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, ...
