Pinellas County Florida Real Estate News!

Pinellas County Florida Real Estate Statistics for January 2015 The January 2015 real estate statistics have just been released by the Pinellas Realtor Organization and Suncoast MLS.  At first glance, January looked to be a down month, as it had the fewest month-to-month closings in almost a year. However, when looking year-over-year, January 2015 was the best January since the Great Recession. Many speculate that the increased market activity is due to one of the harshest winters hitting the northeast in decades, and that certainly helps, but it is important to recognize that some aspects of homeownership are becoming more affordable. Last month, at the urging of NAR, the White House announced Mortgage Insurance Premiums would go down by almost $1,000 per year for FHA borrowers.

JUST SOLD! A Nationstar Short Sale in Largo, Florida

Our most recent short sale success closed last week in Park Place Estates, Largo, Florida.  The seller’s lender was Nationstar, and our team overcame several obstacles, including negotiating counteroffers and inconsistencies with valuation from the seller’s lender.  The successful negotiations resulted in the seller being awarded a $3000 relocation incentive, and the short sale was approved with no deficiency to be pursued, and no promissory note due from the seller.  This short sale was approved by Nationstar just 67 days after the executed contract, and it closed only 9 days later.

The seller is very relieved to move on to the next chapter in life. The buyers are thrilled and looking forward to making this house a home for their family.  This was a “win-win” for all parties involved.

We pride ourselves in our persistence and negotiating skills to gain short sale approval from lenders and get our clients to the closing table!

We would love the opportunity to assist you with your potential short sale.  Please contact us for a confidential meeting to discuss your situation at 727-216-9247.
