Unemployed Home Owners Get A Break From Freddie Mac
Upon direction from the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Freddie Mac recently declared it will permit mortgage servicers the power to provide additional months of forbearance to the unemployed home owners. Mortgage servicers are now able to approve unemployed home owners and borrowers with Freddie Mac owned- or guaranteed-loans for six months of forbearance without prior approval from Freddie Mac. Servicers of these loans can lengthen the forbearance period up to an additional six months with a previous Freddie Mac approval, allowing qualified unemployed borrowers with Freddie Mac owned- or guaranteed-mortgages up to twelve months of forbearance. In addition, past due borrowers within a current short term forbearance plan will be assessed for an extended forbearance under the new policy taking effect on February 1, 2012.
In the past Freddie Mac permitted servicers to allow up to three months of forbearance with no payment and without previous approval, or six months at a reduced payment with prior authorization. Extended forbearance needed previous approval and was often limited to occasions including natural disasters, permanent disability or prolonged health-related emergencies.
Based on the most recent statistics, virtually 10 percent of delinquencies on Freddie Mac mortgages were associated with unemployment. The forbearance allowance will assist these struggling home owners during this economic downturn fueled by housing and employment sectors. Heck, we may even see a slight decrease, for the time being, in the volume of Bank Owned properties currently flooding the housing market.

The Latest on San Diego Home Values
SAN DIEGO – CoreLogic says San Diego home values dropped for the fourth straight month in November. The organization tracks real estate transactions for companies and governments.
The company’s newest property value index observed San Diego home values tumble almost 7 percent when compared with a year ago.
The actual record states the selling of distressed inventory dragged values lower. Distressed sales consist of short sales and homes going through the foreclosure process. The organization says once the distressed supply is removed, San Diego property values only declined 2.3 percent.
The organization’s chief economist stated home values within the healthy non distressed market place will probably notice a small decrease over the next year, once the December figures are integrated.

New Concerns Voiced About the Recovery of the Housing Market
The Wall St Crime Watchdog is advising investors about the costs of non-professional hour at the Government, up to and including leadership regarding the floundering US Economy, or the US housing markets. The group announces, “We would be first to say jump in and get a house, if we really thought it would be a great idea, but with President Obama on the edge of declaring class warfare on anyone who has a private sector job in the U. S. , we say sit this one out, till someone in Washington DC really begins to lead, or somebody in Washington DC figures out dividing the country once again is maybe not a very good idea.” The group asserts, “We believe the US housing market is on the verge of falling off a cliff.
We don’t think the Obama Administration has a clue, and another move toward a divided country, could be terrible for the US housing market, and every U. S citizen. We all know Tax The Rich, Tax the greedy Companies sounds great if you are on welfare, but who is going to get the Economy of the USA moving again? It will not be, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, or President Obama. As an example, if Washington, DC basically wants to get the US housing market moving again, The Congress should revive the IRS tax breaks to incorporate any person buying a home. This also suggests investors. The laissez faire market works, but you have got to understand to invest in anything, there needs to be a reason, and a return. We are saying give all US Citizens an incentive to get back into the US housing market, and do it now.” The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog also says, “On the topic of a US Housing Market recovery, there are some communities that may never recover in places like Florida.
The rationale isn’t the economy, or housing market conditions, its because 100,000 homes in Florida alone contain toxic Chinese drywall. In this area President Obama might have, and should have taken a position of power. Unfortunately, he still has to mention poisonous Chinese drywall one time in public since he took office in January of 2009. The Fed reply thus far would be funny, if we weren’t deeply nervous about the condition of the homeowners, and their children, who live in these homes. Aircon coils in Florida houses with toxic Chinese drywall turn black within a year or so. We fear for the householders, and families living in these houses, and we’ve been doing all we can think about to help them for 2 years-including asking why no Federal Reply, and Why no President Obama?” They are saying, “What a coincidence on August 16th, a sister group of ours blasted President Obama for his failure to mention homeowners stuck in Florida poisonous Chinese drywall houses one time in public, and on Aug 17th President Obama offers no solutions for the US housing markets? Leadership matters, and the U. S. desires leadership right now.” For some more information about noxious Chinese drywall please visit ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.

THOUGH the threat of foreclosure has eased a little in the last 18 months, more than 2.6 million households are at least 60 days delinquent on their mortgage payments, according to Hope Now, a nonprofit coalition of lenders and agencies.
Beyond the obvious threat of losing your home, falling behind can be costly: lenders charge late fees as well as legal and administrative costs, and your credit score will suffer. Experts say the sooner you deal with the situation, the better your chances of making a full economic recovery.
Those who are one or two payments behind, said Carol Yopp, the foreclosure program manager at the nonprofit Long Island Housing Partnership in Hauppauge, N.Y., are more likely to recover by making back payments. “You get beyond that — 60 to 120 days behind — it’s much harder to catch up,” she said.
If you are determined to keep your home but cannot immediately make back payments, you will need to meet with your lender or a credit counselor to consider your options. Among them are devising a repayment plan, modifying your loan, doing a short sale, and adding what is owed back into the mortgage balance.
The first step is to assess your financial situation: what you earn and spend each month. Many credit and housing counselors have worksheets on their Web sites to help you do this.
Sharon Clark, the executive director of the Central Jersey Housing Resource Center in Raritan, N.J., says that to get an accurate picture homeowners need to dig into their receipts — or start faithfully keeping them. It is a mistake to guess at spending or earnings, she said, because you might end up with a repayment plan you cannot handle.
Next, collect pay stubs, documentation on other income, two years’ worth of tax returns, two months of savings and checking account statements, and mortgage records. If you have experienced a hardship like a layoff, a divorce or an illness, gather evidence of that: unemployment insurance receipts, medical bills, a copy of your doctor’s letter to your employer, a divorce decree. “The more prepared you are,” Ms. Clark said, “the better people can help you.”
Then go to your lender or servicer, or perhaps visit an adviser first. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development certifies counseling agencies that provide free advice and assistance, and has a list of them on its Web site. (Some charge small fees for services like obtaining a credit report.) Counselors can offer alternatives and prepare a budget to see if you can afford your home.
A HUD-certified foreclosure-prevention specialist will know about new programs and initiatives available with aid. Sometimes counties or local agencies have assistance programs, or will help match you with a renter to defray part of your monthly mortgage payment.
Housing experts warn against signing up with a company that promises a quick fix or a new mortgage in return for paying a substantial upfront fee, say $2,000. Many are scams that use names similar to local or national nonprofits or HUD programs. If they ask for cash, that is a warning sign that they may not be legitimate.
Before agreeing to a repayment schedule, it is important to understand how your lender treats partial mortgage payments. Some credit them toward your balance immediately; others hold the money in a “suspend account” until the full amount is received, Ms. Yopp said. Some will return the check to the borrower. Others will stop accepting payments after the mortgage is seriously delinquent. In those cases, borrowers may be foreclosed, or work out a short sale, or get a family member to help them repay the entire balance.
But whether you agree to a reduced payment schedule, borrow money from family, or raid a retirement account, Ms. Yopp said, “if you haven’t resolved the reason for the delinquency, you’re still in trouble.”

WITH most lenders requiring home buyers to put down at least 20 percent and sometimes, with more expensive properties, an even greater amount — the best holiday gift some people might receive would be help with the down payment.
Down Payment Assistance Could Be A Great Gift This Year
Under federal tax law, each individual is permitted to give away money or valuables worth up to $13,000 to a single recipient in a calendar year. A married couple could jointly bestow up to $26,000 a year per recipient.
“It really can be $52,000” if the recipient also has a partner, said Mike Maye, the owner of MJM Financial, a financial planning firm in Berkeley Heights, N.J.
And if the gift-givers wanted to spread even more good cheer into the next calendar year — perhaps distributing some future inheritance money — they could easily double the amount to the same couple, to $104,000. “Give them one for Hanukkah or Christmas,” said Edward Ades, a partner in Universal Mortgage in Park Slope, Brooklyn, “and a week later give them another for New Year’s.”
The biggest barrier to buying a home these days is saving for the down payment, according to a survey released in September by Trulia. The survey, conducted over the summer by Harris Interactive, was based on responses from 2,207 people, including 758 renters who expressed an interest in buying a home at that time. Fifty-one percent of those renters said coming up with the money for the down payment was keeping them from buying (and 62 percent among adults 18 to 34), while 36 percent identified qualifying for a mortgage as the stumbling block. “It’s a huge piece for first-time buyers,” Mr. Ades said. “Sometimes even the second-time home buyers are getting help from the family,” especially if their new residence needs renovation.
Mr. Ades estimates that 30 to 50 percent of Universal Mortgage clients who are first-time buyers receive some gifts toward the down payment. A 20 percent down payment on a $780,000 condominium or co-op — the median price in New York City during the third quarter, according to the Real Estate Board of New York — would require a buyer to come up with $156,000, plus closing costs. (Lenders may require an even higher down payment, of 25 to 30 percent, on jumbos mortgages.)
Relatives could, of course, give the entire $156,000 down payment, though anything above the maximum annual exemption could be considered a taxable gift and must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
There is also the option of lending a relative or close friend the money for the down payment, or the closing costs, then forgiving the loan in a future year, said Lori R. Price, a financial planner and owner of the Price Financial Group in Wilton, Conn. The recipient would have to pay interest on the loan until it was forgiven, at which point it would become a gift, Ms. Price said.
Another way to help with the down payment is to pay some of the grandchildren’s tuition bills, Ms. Price added, thereby freeing up money for the parents to make a home purchase or refinance a mortgage. Gifts for educational or medical expenses are not subject to taxes at all, as long as they are paid directly to the educational or medical institution.
But before giving money to a son, a daughter or a niece, gift-givers must of course consider their own financial picture. And they must make sure the recipient “is not being chased by creditors and is responsible,” Mr. Maye said.
Once the check has been handed over, he pointed out, the money can be used for any purpose.

The San Diego Real Estate Market May Reach a Hurdle In 2012
San Diego’s Real Estate market may face another down-turn in the year 2012, and there are many reasons why. Remember, lots of the adjustable home loans were designed with 5 and seven year interest changes. Many home loans are ready to re-set next year since the San Diego Real Estate market boomed in the summertime of 2005. The saving grace is that IRs are near best-ever lows and IR shock will not be a major factor. The downbeat with these mortgage changes will be the ‘reality check ‘ factor.
How many homeowners will suddenly awake to the proven fact that their home is now worth many thousands of bucks less than their mortgage balance? Only the naive will accept that their San Diego real estate value will snap back soon. The Northwestern School of Chicago has found that as many as one in four defaults could have been strategic. Driving this phenomenon is the increasing number of homes that are terribly “under water,” owing way more than the current value of their homes. First American CoreLogic, a real-estate info company, estimates that 5.3 million U.S. Homes have mortgage balances at least twenty percent higher than their homes ‘ value, and 2.2 million of those homes are at least fifty percent under water.
The issue is worst in Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada. So, whether you believe the San Diego Real Estate market has bottomed, the reality is, it will take numerous years to regain equity losses many have endured. Talking-heads who claim the U.S. Housing market has “bottomed,” in 2011, may not have a full understanding of fundamental economics. Government and the overwhelming majority of media are utilising the old method of making an attempt to talk us out of this downturn. Any bit of positive new is over-emphasized while the awful, practical conditions are barely noted. The governing body has spent trillions of bucks and hasn’t made ca major impact on the difficulty. Executive saved Wall Street banks, at least for now, will executive platitudes actually turn around our economy? The administration thinks so. They are closing their eyes and wishing actually, really hard that it does.
They also should do not forget to click their ruby-red heels three times to insure success. The best parallel to our existing situation remains the Great Depression. In 1930, we had a fifty percent stock rally and abounding “green shoots” before the market turned down in a relentless decline. This time the government intervention is much bigger, but so as well, is the credit bubble. Many agree the real jobless rate is 17.5%. How can the housing market improve till unemployment seriously improves? Property values only go up if there is a rise in demand. That’s not happening. The birth rate of the US is just enough to sustain our population, little more, and it would be negative without immigration. Another significant component having an effect on San Diego real estate demand, is that the severity of our existing home worth decline seems to have damaged the back of the story that you could not lose money buying San Diego real estate. Till the devastation to San Diego real estate values, fades from the collective consciousness, demand for housing will be a fraction of what it was. Those who invest in San Diego real estate and expect values to appreciate need to face the incontrovertible fact that by mid-2012 there is a high chance we’re going to be in a rising interest rate environment, which should boost costs on mortgage loans significantly.
We all know it is now much more difficult to be accepted for a mortgage even with some of the lowest IRs in history. What will happen when interest rates move up? Will the government again step in with some type of subsidized interest rate / qualifying programme (rather like the sub-prime debacle)? My idea to stabilize the San Diego real estate market is for the governing body to assign speculators who buy and hold houses for at least 3 years, but not more than 7 years, one hundred percent exemption on any capital gain they may realize. I believe it might be a sure-fire fix to our housing doldrums. Our already high electrical, water and gasoline taxes, suggests San Diego Real Estate owners ‘ disposal revenue is heading for obliviousness! Further combination with the administration’s new health care costs and Cap & Trade’s dramatic impact on utility costs, only the hope & change commissars will be in a position to afford California detached homes. The California masses will be, out of need, made to live in gigantic loft complexes.
The California standard of life will take a massive hit, but look on the bright side… Mass apartment complexes will reduce commuting, contain urban growth and cut down on carbon emissions! Perhaps, most vitally, the extra taxes will insure the California public workers annuity plans will continue to provide lottery-sized benefits into the near future. Increased rates to support currencies will increase deflation. Intensifying levels of insolvency and foreclosure due to salary decreases and job loss will increase deflation. A century of inflation is coming unwound in a decade.

The Search for A Clairemont Canyon Home
This past weekend I was speaking with a client, who was interested in buying a home in the Clairemont community of San Diego. While asking a few questions and setting up our search parameters, my client explained to me that he was in search of the perfect Clairemont canyon home. I chuckled when I heard this because having a nice canyon lot was also a major influence in my home purchase 3 years ago. Cliaremont has a lot to offer, good schools, great location, affordable housing and is located only five miles from the beach and five miles from Downtown. In addition, the Tecolote Canyon and Rose Canyon weave through out the community offering outstanding hiking, biking and wildlife observation. These Clairemont canyons also allow an opportunity to own large lots between a 1/4 and 2 acres, and can provide excellent views.
Why I bought a Clairemont canyon home
In my 4 month home search I had only 3 conditions, location, lot size and it needed to be a Clairemont canyon home. In addition to being a Realtor, I also know my way around many areas of construction and property maintenance. From the start, I knew that I was getting into a remodeling project, so I was not overly concerned about buying a house in need of repairs. Instead, I focused on the three things that I could never change, location, lot size and being situated on a beautiful Clairemont canyon lot.
For my Wife and I, the decision on location was easy. I had been renting a duplex, that just happened to be a Clairemont canyon home, since 2001 and I knew that this is where I wanted to grow old. My Wife had been a lifelong resident of Pacific Beach, our bordering beach town, and I knew that we could not venture too far from her childhood stomping grounds. We quickly agreed on Clairemont and decided not to look anywhere else. We began looking at houses for sale in the North Clairemont area, scheduling our showings in the afternoon and early evenings. It wasn’t until the third or fourth house that we noticed how the positioning of the lot was going to be a major factor in our purchasing decision. We planned on spending a lot of time in our backyard with our young daughters and entertaining our family and friends. We quickly realized that a Clairemont canyon home with north and east facing backyard would be too dark, shaded and less appealing during our early evening viewings. We saw one home with a pool and an east facing backyard and the pool was completely shaded by 3:00 in the afternoon. Living in San Diego, I’ve always wanted a house with a pool and we just couldn’t see ourselves enjoying a swim if the pool was entirely shaded in the middle of the afternoon. In addition, we knew that we would be entertaining our friends in the evenings and a backyard BBQ would be much more inviting as the sun was setting, especially over a Clairemont canyon.
During this time, I was trying to get as many home remodeling ideas as possible and I had become obsessed with some of the “Do it Yourself Shows” on TV. One in particular is called Yard Crashers on the DIY Network, where the host ambushes unexpected home owners and proposes a back yard makeover. I would sit and watch with a sketch pad at hand, and draw my plans for a yard that I didn’t even have yet.
My plans contained features such as a complete outdoor kitchen, seating areas, pool and spa, fire pit, pergola, hammock and a playground, all surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. I know all this may sound a little over the top but these were the types of amenities going into some of the homes on this show. It quickly became apparent to me that I was going to base my purchase, primarily on a Clairemont canyon home and the potential of the backyard. A few weeks into our house hunt we made the decision to exclusively look at houses that had large west or southwest facing back yards. After a month of searching and finding nothing on the market that fit our parameters, we decided that we needed to reconsider a few of our requirements, so back to the drawing board we went.
We weighed our options, however, we did not want to compromise on the areas that we could never change, and we would have to live with for the rest of our lives. I performed another search, but decreased the number of bedrooms , with the thought that we could always add another bedroom in the future if the backyard was big enough. Low and behold, the search returned one result, a Clairemont canyon home on a half-acre canyon lot. Literally, the ugliest house on the street but it was exactly what we wanted, a large west facing back yard. We immediately submitted an offer and closed escrow in 43 days. I spent the next 4 months gutting and remodeling the house and we moved in on November 12, 2008.
Over two years later, I am convinced that we made the right decision, as we spend the majority of our family time out back. Whether it’s the beautiful Clairemont sunsets, cool ocean breezes, sunny backyard BBQ’s, Entertaining friends or spending time with our children, not a day goes by where we don’t enjoy our Clairemont canyon home.
