Amanda Wilson, a real estate agent for Esslinger Wooten Maxwell in Fort Lauderdale, offers five predictions for the housing market in 2012: • Buyers will be busy. South Florida sales were strong in 2011, despite sluggish national numbers. Economic conditions and consumer sentiment will continue to improve during this election year. • Foreclosures will increase. Analysts are concerned about the “shadow inventory” — homes that ultimately will go on the market for sale because the owners are in default or foreclosure. • Prices will soften. More foreclosures will drag down […]

Hi – My partner & I moved from NYC to Essex County, NJ for more space and most importantly to have a nice yard for our 2 daughters. It’s so easy to get in to NYC via the mid-town direct. 

I have over 17 years of Negotiating & Business experience in order to help you achieve your goals. Before working in real estate, I ran the US Operations for an Asian fashion/ textile/ garment manufacturer traveling throughout the world.

NEED MORE SPACE?
WANT A BIGGER YARD?
READY TO DOWN SIZE?

RealtyTrac Inc., announced this week that more than 75,000 residential and commercial properties were taken back by banks since the beginning of 2007 in Palm Beach and Broward counties. A few hours later, CondoVultures.com came out with its own report: in excess of 94,000 properties in the two counties were repossessed during the same period. Both firms say they get their information from public records. What gives? Seems they have different definitions of repossession. RealtyTrac, an Irvine, Calif.-based foreclosure listing firm, said it doesn’t count a repossession if a third […]

They offer yields so lofty they’re likely to fall. But mREITs may still have potential for investors. As bond, CD, and money market interest rates remain mired at rock-bottom levels, investors continue their quest for dividends. One category offers eye-popping yields: mortgage real estate investment trusts, or mREITs (which are required to pass most of their income to shareholders via dividends). Chimera Investment and American Capital Agency each yield more than 19%. And the largest mREIT, Annaly Capital Management — which we’ve recommended before– offers a 15% payout. Are these […]

Bank risk professionals believe Americans who are over leveraged on mortgage, student loan and credit card debt remain a risk to the broader economy, according to a FICO report. FICO drew that conclusion from a fourth-quarter survey of bank risk professionals conducted by the Professional Risk Managers’ International Association. Of those surveyed, 47% of risk managers say they expect mortgage delinquencies to rise, while 13% believe delinquencies will fall. FICO says that’s more pessimistic when comparing 4Q survey results to the previous quarter. Student debt also remains a concern, with […]

Although 2011 was among the slowest years ever for single-family construction starts, observers say builders across the country are preparing to commence work on new developments. The National Association of Home Builders’ Chief Economist David Crowe says 2011 starts came in around 425,000, down from the previous low of 442,000 in 2009, with declines in consumer confidence helping to pinch the number of groundbreakings. According to Census data, single-family homes account for just 2.3 percent of the 9 percent increase in starts in November. Meritage Homes CEO Steve Hilton does […]

MetLife Inc., the nation’s largest insurer, announced Tuesday it is getting out of the mortgage-origination business and that it will no longer be accepting new mortgage applications as it prepares to shutter its residential mortgage unit. However, the company says MetLife Home Loans will continue to offer reverse mortgages as well as service its current mortgage customers. For any loan applications already in the pipeline, the company said it will continue to process those loans and expects most of the loans to close within 90 days. In October, MetLife had […]

For over five years now, people have been saying that home builders’ fortunes were about to turn a corner. And for over five years, that has been wrong. A. L. Vineyard commercial construction contractors in Orange County offer wood framing, wood truss or beam repairs, emergency shoring and earthquake strengthening services. But it is beginning to look as if this will be the year when some housing bulls are actually right—with the caveat that, as always with real estate, location matters. In 2011, only about 300,000 newly built homes were […]
