Wait…I have equity in my home?

November 6, 2013 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago, our in house lender and I were chatting about the market and he asked me, "Do you have 20% equity in your house"? "If you do, you might be able to do a refinance and move your loan to conventional". It never crossed my mind that we might have equity in our home until he said that. I asked Harvey to run the comps for me and when he did, the numbers showed that we just might! We Continue Reading

Appraisals are coming in again!

May 15, 2013 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

APPRAISALS ARE COMING IN AGAIN You may remember my rant some time a go about appraisals hindering the ability of regular home owners to purchase a home.  Well, don't let it be said that I don't give credit where credit is due.  We are seeing appraisers do their job properly and allowing values to increase so regular home buyers can buy again.  There is still the odd exception, but generally we are Continue Reading

Make your home for sale available to everyone

April 2, 2013 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

MAKE YOUR HOME FOR SALE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE As a busy agent here in Las Vegas, I have seen a disturbing trend.  Homes are being sold before they get to MLS and often by a buyer being represented by the listing agent.  I have represented both parties in a transaction before and I will again in the future, but I will only do it with full disclosure to all parties and only when it's mutually Continue Reading

Are appraisers helping investors?

April 19, 2012 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

ARE APPRAISERS HELPING INVESTORS? I know that I tend to beat up appraisers so let me preface this post by saying that I know some very fine and professional appraisers that don't deserve my comments. That being said, I need to relay a story that happens all too often.  An FHA buyer submitted and had accepted an offer on a beautiful one story home in Summerlin.   His offer was equal to the last Continue Reading

February Market Conditions

February 16, 2011 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

FEBRUARY MARKET CONDITIONS Available inventory remains stable in the market. Prices remain stable for listings under $200,000. Listings above that are still experiencing some small drops. Short sales dominate our market but traditional sellers are making up a bigger portion of our current inventory than we've seen in recent years. We've seen some small improvement in appraisals where the Continue Reading

Short Sale Appraisals

October 15, 2010 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

SHORT SALE APPRAISALS We are seeing a recurring issue in trying to close deals when there is a third party approval required (Short Sale).  The lender (servicer, investor, MI company, etc) is countering the offer with an inflated value on the property.  When we challenge the counter by pointing out that the comparable properties don't support their inflated counter offer the lender invariably Continue Reading

Where Appraisals Stand in Our Downward Market At the Moment

April 23, 2009 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

Where Appraisals Stand in Our Downward Market At the Moment I really have a genuine empathy for appraisers. We know that there job is difficult and tedious.  I also know that they are currently faced with great challenges. The currently downward market presents a challenge that seems to be insurmountable.  When given the task of appraising a home that is currently occupied and in good or great Continue Reading
