No, no not that kind of endowed now… no trash talk here. I am talking home and mortgage wise for sure and especially if you have a home with a mortgage over $417,000. Since short sales are steadily increasing in my North Kingstown area and around RI real estate, I found this a newer revelation. A leading foreclosure watch site (foreclosureradar.com) noted that in studying foreclosures of over 150,000 homes over the past 3 1/2 years that banks strategically wait significantly longer to foreclose on a home with higher mortgages than smaller mortgages…significantly longer say over 100 days longer.
So being heavily endowed mortgage wise allows an underwater borrower to live in their home without paying a mortgage and building up a ‘cash pile’ for over a year. Unfortunately, these homeowners are pursuing a foreclosure on their home instead of a short sale (the extra time does not result in a better outcome with a foreclosure for a homeowner). In fact, this report states that looking at the current month’s 2011 dollar amounts of these under water mortgages, in the higher mortgage balance dollar amounts, shows the mortgages average about $616,000.
So is this some kind of discrimination here on who gets picked first to foreclose upon? That is something to think about.
It seems to indicate that the smaller you are endowed with a leaner under water mortgage amount the less time you can stay in your home. These homeowners the banks want to remove faster! Tell me why aren’t homeowners under water and struggling to pay their mortgages calling out for help to put their home on the real estate market with a North Kingstown short sale agent?
Foreclosure is not the answer to a homeowner’s distress right now and a short sale is a better alternative. In fact, some bank programs will actually give you money back to move and get on with your life like HAFA or Bank of America’s Co-op programs. But banks would rather sit on the higher mortgaged under water homes and prolong their dollar write off and loss for as long as the accounting standards allow them to do. There is something wrong about this process.
Homeowners in distress – do not be a number waiting in line for the bank to foreclose on your property. Call a Real Estate Agent who works with short sales and can guide you through this process and don’t be one of the statistics.
