5823 Millstream, Garden City, ID


3 bedroom 2 bath 1618 SF blt 1978

This property makes for an interesting story. One of my agents, Dan Poole, had a client that drove by this empty house in the "GC". They were very interested so Dan called me to help him get some info on the property. I found out that it was going to auction on May 29th. I found the owners; this was a rental property / fixer upper gone awry. Payments have not been made for several months and the owners were resolved to let it go. 

With one phone call I convinced them it was more beneficial to go the short sale route; it benefits them from a credit perspective (2 years vs 7 years) and benefits the community. So now we have it listed with an offer to be submitted to the bank. Another foreclosure (potentially) bites the dust!!! Stay tuned.

Pres. Obama's Housing Affordability and Stability Plan

I really hope Pres. Obama is smart enough to know that this first plan of his to rescue homeowners in foreclosure really misses the mark. If you bought your home between 2005 and 2007, there is no help for you. The loans on these purchases are way above the 105% maximum in the plan. As for homeowners in Boise, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Meridian and Kuna Idaho, this plan does not help if they bought homes within those years. 

If you know of someone who is facing foreclosure, please call me at 208 939 9033 ext 2 or email me at michael.hon@IronEagleRE.com. Please visit my website at IronEagleRE.com or

February Foreclosure and Short Sales Stats

This month I have decided to start reporting statistics on foreclosures and short sales in the Treasure Valley (i.e. - Ada and Canyon County only). These are stats from the Intermountain MLS. Here it goes:

Currently

REO  
595 Active 
247 Pending  
32 Sold in Jan. 
128 Sold in Feb

Short Sale 
1815 Active 
235 Pending  
48 Sold in Jan.  
58 Sold in Feb. 
138 Exp in Jan.  
42 Exp. in Feb. 

What do these numbers mean? They mean that we losing the battle. Banks need to smarten up and accept more short sales. Agents need to get a better understanding of how to work a short sale both from the buy side and list side.
