Iowa Realty is reportedly the first realty firm in the nation to offer a training program to enable veterans to become real estate agents. The program covers the veteran’s real estate training and startup fees, which total around $3,000. So far, six veterans are attending the classes. “Because veterans are hardworking, highly disciplined, and accustomed to overcoming obstacles, we believe a career in real estate will be a great fit,” says Iowa Realty spokesman Brennan Buckley. “Our men and women in service have sacrificed for our country, and it’s up […]

Home prices have posted some of their strongest gains this year in nearly six years. But while prices have likely hit bottom, the public shouldn’t confuse that with a full recovery. A lot more still has to happen to get to that point, analysts say. For one, inventories of homes for-sale need to reach more normal levels. The number of homes for sale are at an eight-year lows, The Wall Street Journal reports. Prices are rising in many areas but it’s because “there are more buyers chasing fewer homes and […]

A study shows that most of the new jobs created post-recession have been low-wage jobs, which doesn’t bode well for helping to lift the housing market. From the first quarter of 2010 through the first quarter of 2012, low-wage jobs rose 2.7 times faster than mid to higher-wage jobs, according to a study by the National Employment Law Project. For the study, the advocacy group labeled low-waged jobs as those that pay between $7.69 to $13.83 per hour; mid-waged jobs between $13.84 to $21.11 per hour; and high-waged jobs between […]

Threats of withdrawn mortgage credit may deter local governments from accepting proposals to seize underwater mortgages through eminent domain, not court rulings, according to one expert on the issue. The actual process itself may not face huge legal hurdles. “The legality is not an impediment to this program. Eminent domain is never popular. But the Supreme Court has very seldom, if ever, found local governments’ use of eminent domain as unconstitutional,” said Richard Friedman, managing attorney for Neal & Leroy, during a Source Media webinar for bond investors Thursday. A […]

Waves of highly paid oil and gas drilling employees into rural areas is causing strain on local governments to provide affordable housing for locals who can no longer afford skyrocketing rents, according to a government study released Thursday. Drilling for oil and gas increased substantially in these areas over recent years. South Texas counties surrounded by the Eagle Ford Shale, for instance, saw a 27% increase in jobs in 2011. In Williams County, N.D., the population grew by 8% in just one year as new jobs increased by 41% due […]

Sales are quickening their pace as the time to sell a home decreases and falls more in line with a “balanced” housing market, according to new research by the National Association of REALTORS®. The median time a home listed for sale was on the market in July was 69 days, down from 98 days one year earlier. Broken down further, one-third of homes purchased in July were on the market for less than a month, and one in five of homes purchased in July were on the market for at […]

With short sales, home owners work with a bank on a solution to get out of a house they may no longer be able to afford or have to sell urgently for some reason. That’s why some argue short sales shouldn’t damage a person’s credit score in the same way as foreclosures, which can be much more costly for banks. So should the penalty for a foreclosure more severely damage a borrower’s credit score than a short sale? No, maintains a new FICO study. FICO conducted a study to determine […]
