Sellers Who Delay May Miss Out Daily Real Estate News | Monday, March 25, 2013 Some would-be move-up home sellers are eyeing home prices carefully. They’re waiting to see how much home prices appreciate more before they consider selling their home. But they may be missing their perfect opportunity, some housing experts say. The best time to move may depend on when the home owner purchased their current residence, says Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac. Blomquist says that home owners who purchased their home during the sluggish market the last two to three years may find moving up in 2013 may be their prime opportunity. "Because they bought near the bottom, these home owners should have built up some good equity that can go toward the purchase of a new home, and waiting longer to build more equity likely won’t provide much advantage given that other homes that they might want to move up to will also be appreciating at roughly the same pace," Blom

WASHINGTON – March 14, 2013 – Florida posted the nation’s highest state foreclosure rate for the sixth consecutive month in February, according to RealtyTrac’s Foreclosure Market Report for February 2013: One in every 282 housing units with a mortgage had a foreclosure filing during the month – more than three times the national average. A total of 31,726 Florida properties had a foreclosure filing during February, up 6 percent from the previous month and up 20 percent year-to-year, reaching a 16-month high. Foreclosure filings include default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions. Florida cities (population of 200,000 or more) also accounted for seven of the nation’s 10 highest metro foreclosure rates in February; Miami’s metro area posted the highest rate in the nation (one in every 219 housing units). Other Florida MSAs in RealtyTrac’s top 10 include: Orlando at No. 2 (one in 225 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Ocala No. 3 (one in 243); Tampa No. 4 (o

Despite it still being chilly in Washington, here is how the fiscal bill stands to affect Real Estate related matters: From Florida Realtors : • Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act extended to January 1, 2014. In place since 2007, the act provided a tax break for homeowners who struggled through financial hardship such as a foreclosure, and were granted mortgage debt forgiveness. In the past several months, National Association of Realtors (NAR) issued numerous calls to action urging its million-plus Realtor members to ask lawmakers to extend the tax break for another year. More than a quarter of all transactions involve distressed properties, the NAR said in its plea. "Homeowners shouldn't be forced to pay a tax on money they've already lost with cash they never received." • Deduction for mortgage insurance premiums for filers making below $110,000 is extended through 2013 and made retroactive to cover 2012. • The 15-year straight-line cost recovery f
