Think the Foreclosure Freeze Will Save Your Home?

Freezes-in-Foreclosure-Report - How to Avoid a Foreclosure in Massachussetts.

If you or someone you know is having trouble making mortgage payments, you may be paying special attention to the foreclosure moratorium that politicians are calling for in the press.  The reality of a foreclosure moratorium is that it will end, and the foreclosure process will begin again.

The great news is that during a halted foreclosure, lenders are highly motivated to accept short sales.  Distressed homeowners can use the time a foreclosure freeze provides to their advantage.  I can help distressed homeowners develop strategies so they can move on to a brighter future.

A foreclosure freeze or moratorium won’t save the homes of those in distress—only the homeowner can!

Do foreclosures reduce home values?

Yes, verifiably, according to researchers in a recent working paper, “Forced Sales and House Prices”.

An MIT economist and two Harvard researchers analyzed 1.8 million home sales in Massachusetts (1987 to 2009), finding that “foreclosure reduces the value of a house by 27 percent, on average.”

Combine this with with their statistic that foreclosed homes make up roughly one in 12 houses with under $1 million left on the mortgage. Then consider a US Treasury statement that foreclosures can reduce surrounding home values up to 9 percent. This exposes the dramatic effect foreclosures are having on home prices−all home prices−across the country.

Is this really shocking? Perhaps the size of the decrease in value of foreclosures is shocking, but certainly not that it happens. Short sales, a transaction in which the property can avoid becoming vacant, is increasingly sought after as a solution not only for homeowners facing foreclosure, but lenders looking to recoup more of their investment. Today, CDPE-designated agents like Jeffrey Chubb of RE/MAX Unlimited are helping to facilitate hundreds of thousands of these transactions nationwide. Already this is helping communities recover and prices stabilize. This is a movement that will continue to make a difference.

Local Agent Provides Free Homeowner Education on the Best Options to Avoid Foreclosure

Website offers reports, videos and answers for the growing number of homeowners in need of foreclosure alternatives.

Boston, MA – June 13, 2010 – Local real estate agent, Jeffrey Chubb of RE/MAX UNLIMITED, is a Certified Distressed Property Expert, and is now offering free educational information for homeowners who are delinquent on their mortgages.

Accessible through www.MAAvoidForeclosure.com, these educational materials clearly explain what a homeowner’s options are when faced with an unaffordable mortgage, as well as the benefits of each option.

One option highlighted in the website is the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program, or HAFA, which offers eligible homeowners $3,000 to pursue a short sale or deed-in-lieu, two alternatives to foreclosure.

“We often find that homeowners in a difficult financial situation will hesitate to directly contact a professional for help,” Chubb said. “My website offers a way to learn about what options are available so anyone can empower themselves with the necessary knowledge and then contact me to help pursue their best options.”

The latest numbers on mortgage delinquency show that approximately one in every seven mortgages is in some stage of delinquency. While they might not be immediately foreclosed upon, these homeowners become more at risk of foreclosure the longer they wait to do something about their missed mortgage payments.

“Many of these distressed homeowners bought their homes in a financially responsible manner,” Chubb said. “Unfortunately, these people have had their finances turned upside-down over the past few years. Now, they must make their mortgage payments with constricting incomes or rates that have reset and now higher payments.”

The CDPE designation Chubb has acquired provides real estate professionals with specific understanding of the complex issues confronting the real estate industry. Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPEs are able to provide solutions for homeowners facing financial hardship in today’s market. The CDPE is the most distinguished Short Sale designation that keeps Chubb informed of the constant changes in Short Sale practices.

Dignified Solutions to Foreclosure

Today nearly one out of six homeowners are currently in default. Often, many of these homeowners do not do anything to stave off foreclosure. Today with the help of the government there is a new program called HAFA which incentive-vises homeowners to stay out of foreclosure. This program offers homeowners up to $3,000 for a successful Short Sale or a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. Check out the free report I have created to provide Massachusetts homeowners with more knowledge about their options… After all, knowledge is power.
