Colorado Springs Real Estate: Short Sales Save the Day
Mar 10th
Short Sales are the hot real estate topic in Colorado Springs.
Faced with foreclosures, banks and homeowners are working with industrious market professionals to sell property at lower costs.
If a homeowner is behind on payments and is in danger of foreclosing, a realtor can assuage the situation with a short sale.
Short sales are tricky, though. According the Colorado Springs Business Journal, it takes a dedicated, savvy realtor to complete the process.
The article reports:
There are several keys to the process, but one of the most important is to contact the borrower’s lender. That’s a lot easier when the lender is local. Otherwise, you end up spending hours trying to track down loan information — and even more to get current home values, public records or to work through loan serving companies.
Short sales are an alternative to foreclosure. They sell property for less than what is owed by the homeowner. They offer the lender roughly 80% of the property’s value, which, obviously, is better than losing out completely.
A foreclosed home faces challenges. Banks need to reestablish its value. If the home is damaged, they need to pay for repairs. Broker commissions are often high, and it may takes many months or even years to sell the property again.

Hard day at work? Home alone with no plans nor obligations for the night? Why not stay and watch one of your favorite movies? It’s a great way to spend the night at home.
What can beat a great show with a few of your fave snacks sitting down on your comfortable chair? Especially after a dull of even stressful day.
A movie rental is also a great idea for the whole family. All families should have time where they do things together. While this may not seem like quality time, its actually a great way to strengthen bonds.
Movies are a good source of shared conversations, and there is nothing wrong with unwinding as a family either.
For the health nuts out there, try cutting up some fruits and vegetables for a healthy snack during the movie. Spice it up with some dip and you’re good to go. Then again, there is always popcorn. Yum!
Heck, if the movie that you choose to rent is enjoyable, everyone will be too busy watching to worry about what they’re eating anyway.

The Economic Components Behind the Boise Real Estate Market
Mar 10th
The U.S. economy grew faster than initially thought in the fourth quarter as businesses drew down inventories at a much slower pace and boosted investment, a government report showed on Friday. Based on this good news, the Boise real estate market will be buoyed by the gains in economy.
In its second reading of fourth-quarter gross domestic product, the Commerce Department said the economy grew at a 5.9% annual rate, rather than the 5.7% pace it estimated last month. It was still the fastest pace since the third quarter of 2003. Posting an impressive 2.2% increase, the third quarter led all to date. If we go back to the 2003 number the Boise real estate market would be on solid footing.
In the winter period the GDP posted fore-casted growth of 5.7%, which indicates goods and services production totals, according to Reuters. With the recovery seemingly in full swing in the last few months of 2009, our nation seemed to be emerging from the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression, but that growth has been stymied somewhat in the first quarter of 2010. Considering the housing slump and the low consumer confidence reports, businesses continued to reduce inventories to purchase needed software and equipment which all added up to a boost in fourth quarter numbers. This wan’t just a national trend either, as the Boise real estate market saw very similar changes in volume as well.
