I'm wondering if short sales and foreclosures are going to pick up after April 30th when the tax credit expires. I know I have a lot of clients just giving up even looking at those because they know they can't close in time.
Jim Well done - I relate to easy to read graphs - some people overdo. 50% being "regulat" sales is an improvement
No offense ment, but WHY are you posting several things which are very particular to your area in the "addicted to active rain" group? If you read the guidelines for the group they ask you NOT to post these kinds of post there.
Todd -
Yes, buyers interested in the tax credits are avoiding short sales right now.
Karen-
No, 50% regular sales is NOT an improvement here.
Leslie-
My apologies.
Jim, we are starting to see the same trends here in Portland where regular sales are increasing due to agents and buyers not wanting to deal with the banks that can't close by April 30th. This doesn't mean that I want them to extend that credit again, but I think we are going to see some interesting times come May.
I don't see regular sales increasing here. In fact, unfortunately, the reverse seems to be true.
I actually Do want to see them extend the $6500 tax credit - it was passed with too short a time frame to allow people to learn about it, list, sell, and enter into a purchase. Five and a half months (including the holiday period) was too short a time.
You have some mighty fine looking pie graph visuals there Jim! I agree with your comment #7 Jim about the move up tax credit setting up move up buyers for failure. They have to do things quickly and my sister is in the midst of that (and a pregnancy) so they have to make decisions quickly and I am wondering if they are being done carefully since they have their eyes on the prize.
Renee -
YES; the $6500 tax credit was passed very quickly without enough thought being given as to how it would really work. Congress should have given it a year. We are going to need it: with interest rate hikes and additional foreclosures due to summer 2010 resets - and the $8000 ending for sure.
I believe it will be easy for some folks in a hurry to make mistakes.
