Interesting week for the Solds. A couple of high selling properties both with more than $100,000 price reductions. Another interesting note is the number of all cash transactions! Wow…cash is still king!

It appears we are in the most difficult lending environment the industry has seen in a very long time if ever. Transactions almost never close on time. If you’re closing is only a couple days late count yourself as a lucky one. I have one transaction right now that has been in contract since May 15th and the buyer’s are just starting hope for loan docs to come next week!

Because of the difficult lending environment on my listings I’m now asking for the following:
1. BofA Pre-Qual (required on my BofA REO’s)
2. Pre-Approval from the buyers lender of choice including that lender’s DU Approval/DU Findings
3. Proof of Down-Payment/Funds to close

If a buyer can provide all of that…they’re serious about closing the deal!

 Wow! Big week for closings…..Inventory appears to be creeeeping up….maybe due to the banks moving forward on more foreclosures that were stalled from last year….there were 54 Notices of Sale in the paper this week, have not seen numbers like that in well over a year.
