Foreclosure: A legal process by which a mortgagee's right to redeem a mortgage is taken away, usually because of failing to make payments.

Short Sale: A short sale occurs when a property is sold and the lender agrees to accept a discounted payoff, meaning the lender will release the lien that is secured to the property upon receipt of less money than is actually owed.

Current laws have recently changed regarding short sales and foreclosures. We are very familiar and experienced with both. We have helped dozens of buyer and seller with these types of transactions and can advise you of your best options and negotiation techniques, so you can make an informed decision on the best way to improve your situation.

Walkable neighborhoods command price premiums

Walkable neighborhoods command price premiums A new study says that homes located in more walkable neighborhoods command a price premium over similar homes in less walkable areas. The study, “Walking the Walk: How Walkability Raises Home Values in U.S. Cities” was commissioned by CEOs for Cities and conducted by Joe Cortright using data from Walk Score. Key findings include: · In 13 out of 15 metro areas higher levels of walk-ability were directly linked to higher home values. · In the typical metropolitan area, a one point increase in Walk Score was associated with an increase in value ranging from $500 to $3,000. Gains were larger in denser, urban areas and smaller in less dense markets. · In the typical areas studied, the premium commanded for neighborhoods with above-average Walk Scores ranged from $4,000 to $34,000.
