As more and more short sales pop up in different Seattle neighborhoods and suburbs, it is important to try and get the rules straight. 

Short sales have typically taken much longer to negotiate as a rule and as a result some of the stats in the MLS have probably been off at times as a result. Here is what the definition of a short sale is according to the NWMLS:

"A "Short Sale" is a sale that does not produce sufficient funds to cover the existing monetary encumbrances against the Property, closing costs, real estate commissions, and other financial requirements of closing. Seller's creditor(s) are those third parties who have an interest in the Property in the form of a deed of trust, some other security, or a lien (e.g. tax lien)."

The MLS has changed the way short sales are to be handled going forward and it begins with the very basic rule that the listing should be disclosed as a short sale.   There are other changes regarding the commission as well as how the listing should be marked in the MLS while all parties wait for lien holder approval.

Overall, It is a good start, but much more needs to happen to educate the consumer as to the ins and outs of a Seattle short sale transaction.

Well the Seattle suburbs got over 50 this week in temperature.  The Mariners started playing and the buyers really began crawling out of the woodwork. This brokerage has been busy all year, but the last two weeks have been especially crazy!  If you are a buyer, then step on up and check out the playing field of increased inventory combined with lower interest rates!  It is a silver platter situation for a buyer finally in the Puget Sound.

Sellers may feel like now is not the time to sell - this is absolutely not the truth at all!  Selling is still very simple for a Seattle area seller - it just takes a lot of extra care from your REALTOR - make sure that your home is priced well and presents itself in the very best light the first time.  The buyer pool is smaller than last year and you want your house to stand out!

Mountlake Terrace is a North Seattle Suburb and it is easily accessed by Seattle workers, plus it has good schools on top of it!

There are many houses in Mountlake Terrace for under $300,000!  Here is one example:

A newly remodeled 2 bedroom, 1 bath home is listed for $260,000 and it has a large lot.

 Mountlake Terrace is a good buy and I suspect it won't last as soon as the transit center is completed in 2009.  In addition, Mountlake Terrace has a full plan to be an urban center and redevelop the city into something that is going to shoot the values of real estate right up.

The schools are in the excellent Edmonds School District and houses readily available around various schools.  Check out the Seattle suburb schools.

Price is usually a factor when looking at Seattle suburbs real estate. Generally the Eastside suburbs of Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah, and Sammamish tend to be on the pricier side. Some of the ferry suburbs (Bainbridge Island) should also be considered to be in the pricier category. Some of the immediate Northern Suburbs can have some more expensive neighborhoods (Lake Forest Park, Brier, Richmond Beach in Shoreline, Mill Creek) as well. Each of these Seattle suburbs also have some economical choices so they can also be a good choice in any price range.

Negotiating a Seattle short sale or protecting you from foreclosure...

 I have helped many people get out of their houses using short sales before their home was foreclosed on.  I am able to negotiate with the lien holder in many cases to get the house sold without the trouble and expense of a foreclosure.  I have also helped some borrowers stay in their home simply by  calling their lender for them.  Communication is sometimes all it takes!

For these owners facing foreclosure, I can help you possibly avoid foreclosure in one of several different ways.  I am experienced in negotiating directly with lien holders and would be happy to help you.  Please call me and at least see what I can do even if you think it is too late.
