CT. Real Estate Economy 2008

Rates on 30 year fixed-rate mortgages fell to a record low for the second straight week, as of December 25, 2008. Causing a surge in refinancing applications to the highest level in more than five years. Mortgage rates started falling after the Federal Reserve launched a sweeping effort in November to aid the housing market by purchasing the high volume of mortgage related dept and securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks. For home owners to qualify, however, generally they need to have a FICO score of at least 600. Although homeowners are taking advantage of these low rates to refinance their loans, the opportunity isn't available to those with poor credit or little equity in their homes. Home values in Southwestern Connecticut decreased a -9.17% in the third quarter of 2008, compared to the third quarter of 2007. And nationally, home values decreased -9.7% during this same period. Presently we a witnessing home sales plunging by 8.6% in Connecticut and foreclosures are still likely to increase.
What does this mean for the real estate investor?It has been documented that on a national basis, the number of foreclosures has increased every year for the past seven years. Real estate investors have an unprecedented opportunity to make enormous profits during this down market. Corporate layoffs,downsizing, and outsourcing have run rampant in the economy. Just look around your own neighborhood, you can't help but from seeing foreclosure signs on every street. Whether you are a real estate investor or shopping for your first home, when driving around you will notice for sale signs posted by real estate agents in your area. For each sign it is estimated that there are four houses in the same area in some stage of foreclosure. These circumstances create a high profit potential for investors in what is called "The Hidden Market." It is called that because people don't understand it; the uninformed public does not know where to find the information to make these situations viable opportunities.
Real estate investors and buyers be creative and take advantage of this situation Now. Fine away to create a Win-Win situation for you and the seller. There are motivated homeowners that don't want to lose their homes and banks that don't want to own the property. There is a saying that Knowledge is Power, and that is certainly true. But, Knowledge is also Money.

Real Estate Investing in Main Street America

It is fairly obvious President-elect Barack Obama is reaping what he has been sowing since his run for the senate in the State of Illinois. However, President Barack Obama will face a storm of economic woes that mirrors the harsh times of the great depression era. Financial institutions across the country are going bankrupt at record numbers, causing a vacuum that impedes the flow of monies into main street America. With a collapsed financial system, such that we are experiencing today, the average family or small business owner become dead in the water. Due to increased company layoffs, roller coaster oil prices and tightening credit crunch, the amount of money usually available evaporates quickly. As a consequence mortgage notes and credit card payments are showing an increase in defaults. Foreclosures are on the rise at historic numbers as our cities struggle to cope with this slumping economy. From the war zone areas in larger cities, to the leafy upper-middle class areas of the more desirable homes, foreclosure signs are seen everywhere. In my own home state, Connecticut has been hit with record number of foreclosed properties. Foreclosure rates are up 25 percent year-over-year nationally.



There is hope however for main street America and great opportunity for real estate investors too. There is a saying that "When there is blood in the streets, buy everything." This could not be more true than what we are experiencing right now. The time is NOW to BUY, any and every piece of property that enters the market place. A great source for finding these investments would be he motivated sellers with up-side down mortgages and from the banks that have large pools of defaulted loans. Do you want to thrive in 2009 instead of getting crushed like so many others? Real estate investors need to know that the new changes in the laws, government policies, and economy are creating the biggest opportunity for huge profits to be made. The 2008 election and the present economy are making history for real estate investing. Today we are witnessing the greatest transfer of wealth the country has ever seen. Money is flowing from the helpless masses toward the courageous few who understand how to profit from these once in a life time events.
