For two years now, we’ve seen mass foreclosures, people walking away from their underwater mortgages and warnings that there’s more to come. Foreclosure numbers reached all time highs,  housing prices have reached all time lows and half the country is unemployed. It’s enough to make a homeowner with one of the Naples homes for sale have a mental breakdown.

However, in February, the news went out, flooring most in the real estate industry: severe shortage of property predicted by the middle of 2011. This may sound unbelievable.  (It was a hard one for me to swallow.)  But, the construction industry has also been hard hit by the economic downturn, which means that fewer homes are being built. Combine fewer homes being built with population expansion and suddenly there’s a housing shortage.

 Good News for Homeowners………….

In a recession, people have a tendency to live together because it’s cheaper. College students continue to live with their parents, divorce rates go down and more people share homes. However, we currently have over 300 million people living in the U.S. and we’re down to less than seven months’ inventory.

This is great news for homeowners trying to sell their homes – or even homeowners who just need more equity – although the repercussions may take awhile to spread.

In several high population areas and college towns, the demand for housing is on the rise. As we’ve talked about before, this brings in the age-old laws of supply and demand. The lower the supply and the higher the demand, the higher prices rise. The more value a home has in price, the higher the equity.

So, for those who have Naples homes for sale, take heart! A housing shortage may be hard to believe right now, but, if what the economists say is true, it’s on its way. Stay on your toes, make sure all your ducks are in a row and prepare for the rush on home sales.

Naples foreclosures can be great deals, but you’ll have a few decisions to make before you even go looking. Because there are so many options, here and throughout the nation, it’s important to figure out what type of foreclosed home is best for you.

Government Foreclosures

Homes with federally sponsored loans, such as HUD homes, are repossessed by government housing agencies. Because these homes offer a lot of opportunities for discount purchases, they move quickly.

 Foreclosure Auctions

One of the most common ways to buy a foreclosure is while it’s on the chopping block of a traditional real estate auction. The auction is public, with homes sold to the highest bidder.

 REO Foreclosures

Repossessed by the bank, real estate owned properties have been through a foreclosure auction without being bought. There’s not necessarily anything wrong with the home itself.  In fact, many foreclosure auctions fail to sell the home.  The primary reason foreclosure auctions do not succeed is that the auction price is more than what the property is worth. When the auction does fail, ownership reverts to the bank and the home becomes an REO.

 REO foreclosures also have auctions, but the bidding process is closed and blind – no haggling allowed. You look over the available properties and come up with an offer to buy the home directly from the bank, rather than competing with other buyers in a public sale.

 The good thing with REO foreclosures is that you can also set up the financing and mortgaging options through the same bank. Often, this gives the bank encouragement to give you a better price for the home.

 Whether you’re looking at Naples foreclosures for investment opportunities, or to buy your dream home, you have a myriad of options. Knowing what you want – before you start looking – is one of the best ways to ensure you get the deal of a lifetime!

 If you’re unsure which type of foreclosed home is best for you, or if you want help finding a great deal on a foreclosure, I can help.

LoopNet.com members have been speculating on what the national commercial real estate market could have in store for us. Their recent poll of 1,500 LoopNet members showed there are differing opinions as to when the market will bottom out.  Approximately half think the commercial market will recover this year while many others feel prices will continue in a downward trend and the bottom will happen much later, maybe not for several years. Many commercial real estate investors believe we haven’t reached the bottom of the market yet. However, owners of national and Naples Florida commercial real estate are somewhat more bullish than investors; owners feel prices have already reached bottom.

Timing the real estate market is like trying to time the stock market. You can’t! You’ll never know for sure where the bottom is to buy low, and you’ll never know where the top is to sell high. Whether you’re thinking of a start-up business or expanding into a new market, prices and interest rates are lower than they have been in years. Now is a great time to lease or buy Naples Florida commercial real estate.  Bartley Realty Services is one of the top Naples Florida real estate power brokers. David R. Bartley, Sr., can help you find exactly what you need for your business…and at the best price and terms.

You’ve probably heard the term “buyer’s market” more often than you care to, but if you want to expand your living quarters, you might want to pay attention.

What is a buyer’s market?
The typical reply might be something like, “A buyer’s market is where the supply is greater than the demand; the heavier the supply, the stronger the buyer’s market.” What you really need to know is that a buyer’s market is heavily tipped in your favor. Mortgage rates, housing supply and negotiations are all pointed towards helping you find – and buy – the home of your dreams.

What’s so great about buying Naples foreclosures or other homes for sale now?
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or currently own a home and want to upgrade, there are plenty of reasons to get into the action now:

• Home prices are lower than they’ve been in 12 years.
• Foreclosures are going for rock-bottom prices as lenders try to make up their losses.
• The number of programs to help buyers get into a new home is higher than it’s ever been.
• Between government programs, lenders’ programs and private programs, the chances of getting into a home you can afford are high.
• Many sellers are eager to find qualified buyers. If you’ve been pre-approved for a mortgage, you have a better stance in negotiations.
• Mortgage rates are lower than they’ve been in a long time, but are slowly starting to rise again.

These are just a few of the reasons.

Why buy foreclosures?
Foreclosures are selling at much lower prices than other homes. In fact, many expect to save at least 30% when buying foreclosed property and that percentage isn’t unrealistic.

If you’ve been trying to figure out what to buy your Valentine, and you’ve been thinking about buying a home, look around at Naples foreclosures. Not only can you find a fantastic deal, but you’ll also be able to celebrate Valentine’s Day in a new home!
