Banks Easing Loan Requirements for Condos

Perry Corneau — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 15:27:38 +0000

Much of the reason for the current over correction in condominium prices has been the lack of available lending due to tightening of lending guidelines for condominiums. I was recently quoted in an article titled Condo groups in financial pain which appeared in the Sarasota Herald. It now looks like Fannie Mae may have figured out that if thier over reaction the the market’s decline is part of the reason for the high rate of foreclosures among condos. The logic is simple; if no mortgages are available to a particular condominium than current owners needing to sell but who cannot afford to sell to cash-only speculators will be forced into foreclosure by the same rigid lending requirements which are intended to stem foreclosures.

Fannie Mae will now allow condominiums which have been denied “approved status” to make application for approval. Fannie Mae will review the condominiums financial stability, occupancy rates, physical condition and association dues to determine if approved status is warranted. If deemed sound, condominiums will be granted approved status for up to 18 months. This is a much needed change which will have a positive effect the values of condominiums previously denied lending and a boon to those savvy cash investors that have purchased into previously denied projects.

Buying Foreclosures

Perry Corneau — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:01:27 +0000

Harris Interactive recently conducted a study in which it was determined that 55 percent of people surveyed identified them selves as likely to purchase a foreclosed property. Back in November of 2008, the same survey indicated that only 47 percent were likely to purchase a foreclosed property. People currently renting (68%) were among the most likely to buy a foreclosed property. Here in the Sarasota / Bradenton real estate market we are experiencing the effects of this increased interest in foreclosure properties which make up a high percentage of the closed transactions. There are some excellent opportunities among the foreclosures in our market. However, not all foreclosure are good deals because in some cases the costs associated with repairs and upgrades may be too high. The best deals may newly constructed homes that were purchased by out of town investors at the end of the boom. In many cases these foreclosed properties have never been lived in and are in excellent condition. If you are interested in such properties, give me a call at 941-650-4626.
