As Foreclosures Rise, Home Prices Plunge to Never Before Lows
The US is definitely going through one of its most challenging phases. Unemployment is at its peak and as people lose jobs, they are faltering on mortgage payments. Hence, foreclosures are becoming common. Home prices have now plunged to never before lows. Hence the market is attractive for first-time investors.
Take, for instance, Mandy Icenhower and James Shannon, her fiancée. They began searching for a home early last year. Around June 2008, they found a flat in Central Point. The couple liked the four bedroom space but ultimately did not buy it because they felt the price was too much. After a few months, they took a look at a foreclosed home in Pitt View Avenue. The house, which had once sold for $388,000 five years ago, was available to them at a price of $176,000.
Buyers like Icenhower are taking advantage of plunging prices. Even the tax credit of $8,000 being extended to first-time buyers and very low bank rates are great incentives. They have pushed sales of residential homes at Jackson County to unimaginable levels. The Southern Oregon Multiple Listing Service report has pointed out that home sales have registered a double-digit growth. Sales have nearly jumped 33.8 per cent as there have been gains in nine of the 11 areas that were tracked.
Short sales and foreclosures may be driving down prices but according to SOMLS, the average sales price of homes in Jackson County have gone up to $190,000 till the period ending July 31. As many as 495 single-family homes were sold between May and July compared to 370 sold during the same period last year.
It may be mentioned here that the deal between Icenhower and the property dealers had become slow because of a number of factors. To Icenhower the deal seemed months to mature. At times, she wanted to come out of it but is now glad that she did not. However, not every home buyer shares the same experience. Amy Warner too wanted to buy a home as prices are low. This is the ideal time to buy a house, she says. She had liked a home at Summer Place in Talent and the house was available to her within a period of two months. Now she has given the property on rent.
According to the SOMLS report, the county's median price fell by 15.1 per cent to $190,000 from $223,750.

Couple Forecloses On Bank of America
Foreclosure is not a fun process.
Losing your house for any reason is a stressful, disheartening experience. And banks are notoriously difficult to deal with. Mainly because they’re not really interested in working out a deal with you. Especially if you have equity in your house.
That being said, I’m greatly amused by people who get the better end of the foreclosure process, especially when it comes to Bank of America. (I’m not a big fan of Bank of America – I have my reasons…)
Bank of America filed for foreclosure on a house in Florida, about six months ago. The strange thing was that the homeowners, Mr & Mrs. Nyergers, owned their home free and clear. They had bought their house with cash. They had never had a mortgage on it.
In court the judge found the bank wrongfully tried to foreclose on them. Basically he said BofA was trying to scam them out of their home, and ordered the bank to pay their legal fees.
So how did the couple end up foreclosing on the bank?
After more than 5 months of the judge’s ruling, the bank still hadn’t paid the legal fees, and the homeowner’s attorney did exactly what the bank tried to do to the homeowners. He seized the bank’s assets.
According to CBS, the attorney said, “They’ve ignored our calls, ignored our letters, legally this is the next step to get my clients compensated.”
Sheriff’s deputies, movers, and the Nyergers’ attorney went to the bank and foreclosed on it. The attorney gave instructions to to remove desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets and any cash in the teller’s drawers.
After about an hour of being locked out of the bank, the bank manager handed the attorney a check for the legal fees.
“As a foreclosure defense attorney this is sweet justice” said Allen.
The unfortunate sad part is that bank errors like this are quite common.
The couple’s foreclosure attorney said he sees happen a lot in court, because banks didn’t investigate the foreclosure and it becomes a lengthy and expensive battle for the homeowner.
At least this story had a happy ending.

How To Avoid Foreclosure
Nobody plans it thus nobody wants it to happen. Just like unwanted events in family life, losing the house is considered as the most dreadful. Home foreclosure is the last thing you want because this entails auction of the property to recover the investment made by the lender. But it’s not always enough to cover for the total investment hence deficiency judgment could be filed against you.
Reasons for foreclosure: Too much debt obligation, medical emergency and sudden loss of a family member, marriage break up which resulted to loss of secondary source of income, unexpected employment, and the inability to settle adjustable interest rate which increased dramatically.
So here are some helpful tips to avoid foreclosure:
Repayment Plan: This is only applicable if there are few missed payments. If your lender agrees, through this you will be able to spread out missed payments for a longer term.
Note modification: This is applicable for adjustable loans. You can make an arrangement with your lender to modify the interest rate which will be more manageable for you.
Refinance: This is a way to increase your loan balance so you can add back payments then re-amortize your loan. This is applicable if you have enough home equity.
Take advantage of forbearance: This is a form of agreement between a borrower and a lender giving more time to wait for repayment. Talking to your lender explaining that you are going through hard times explaining your situation bad I hope if the house was acquired in good faith then there becomes some sort of good alliance between you and your lender. This is better than ignoring notifications sent by your lender which could signify your intention not to pay.
Debts forgiveness: Again good communication matters, although it rarely happens, this is a good way to ask your lender to give you more time to repay your mortgage loan. It simply requires that you make a commitment of making succeeding payments current.Prior to foreclosure, the lender files a Notice of Default against your property. This is a form of public notification which could impair your good credit standing. Always remember to update your lender about the possible date of your repayment. In most cases, lenders become unwilling to negotiate once foreclosure procedures have initiated.
Some other means to deal with foreclosure include selling your property, considering a short sale. Be smart in selling your property by reaching out to expert sellers and obtaining some tips to get the best offers. Short sale applies when the price of your home is less than that of the money you owe. Whichever of these two remaining options you choose, you are bound to lose your home. Well, at least you are not ending up with bad credit.
