Qualifying Questions for a Short Sale:
- Are payments currently being made? If not, when did they stop?

- How many mortgages are there? What are the approximate balances owed on each?
- Who are the mortgage company(s)?
- Are taxes being paid with the mortgage payment (escrowed) or is the homeowner responsible for them separate? Are they current or delinquent?
- Are there any other judgments or liens that the seller is aware of (child support/alimony, credit cards, back taxes owed, homeowner association dues, etc.)?
- Is the house currently listed on the market with a Realtor? (If so, what is the list price, when was it listed, and how has the showing activity been?)
- Have any offers/contracts been presented the bank yet? (If so, how much was the offer and what was the bank’s response?
- Who is on title(deed)? And who is on the actual mortgage? Who signed the note?
- Was this a primary residence or an investment property (or 2nd/vacation home)?
- Is the property currently vacant? (If not, who is presently living there?)

Sellers sometimes are fearful when they look at how much they are selling their current home for when they think about replacing it with something equal or better. The answer to this fear is that sellers can make up losses when they buy in the same market. Below a friend recently sold his home and moved to North Carolina and realized savings even though he sold for less!

We have arranged the perfect opportunity for a “down the road” home owner or an investor on Hilton Head Island to get ground floor pricing on a brand new home. The home builder, land developer and Realtor have all sharpened their pencils to provide the best deal on two new homes on Hilton Head Island.

The most critical information that our Hilton Head Monthly Market Trend Report conveys is what I call the “Big Three”. These are the vital statistics for determining negotiation or pricing and include:
- Average List price to Average Sales Price ~ This is a direct indicator of negotiation opportunity and the firmness of the market. Buyers and sellers can benefit by understanding this number
- Average Days on the Market ~ This time frame applies to properties that are priced correctly for their condition and location.
- Average number of listings taken vs. Average number of sales in a given period which will give us the number of months of inventory that available for sale. This can help buyers and sellers determine strategy.
This report is a snapshot of how the market place has performed in the recent past, which is often a good predictor of future market performance for sellers and buyers. If you would like to receive a monthly report by mail or e-mail, please email us at robbie@robbiebunting.com or call Jane Hyers to set up a phone appointment at (843)785-7111. This is not only a good map of where we have been, it points to where we may be going. Happy Hilton Head! Robbie Bunting

One buyer from last year, just purchased their 3rd home because they put long term renters(greater than 12 months) into the other 2. I called them before they closed on this home and offered another long term rental prospect, but the buyer wanted a place that they could use and enjoy(for this winter at least until we find another one for them). We asked a local long term rental expert, Keith Miller from Miller Long Term Rentals to share with us some information about the long term rental market needs. Read the rest of this entry
