Less Foreclosures in Jacksonville, Good News
Foreclosure rates are dropping in Duval County, read here for more the stats.
However we have concerns, it seems more and more higher end properties are going short sale or standing vacant, unfortunately we don't have numbers on this but what we are seeing while showing property on a daily basis.
Also, we are seeing the larger mortgage companies Wells, BOFA etc running slow on foreclosure times, a moratorium on Foreclosures over the Holidays could exasperate this issue.
By 2010 there could be a lot of inventory of homes in Jacksonville over 300K owned by banks.

Why do you need a buyers agent in Jacksonville?
Found this written by another agent in Arizona and really couldn't put it better myself so here it is.
Here’s an intriguing question: Given that it’s so easy to search for homes on the internet, why do you need a buyer’s agent?
Face it, if you use the MLS search tool on my web site, you’re seeing exactly the same listings I see. And you know better than I ever could what you like and what you don’t like.
By now, the home search process is at best a partnership between the agent and the buyer. In some cases the buyer and I will work together to perfect our search criteria. But many buyers simply search the available inventory on their own, emailing me the MLS numbers of the homes they want to see.
So why do those buyers need a buyer’s agent?
Realtors hoarded the MLS data for so long that even they came to believe it was the source of their value to buyers. But this is very far from the truth.
You don’t need me to search for listings, although I’m happy to do that. And you don’t need me to open lock-boxes. You need a buyer’s agent to guide you through what is in fact an arcane and perilous process — potentially a financial disaster. You might not need me to find your next home, but you need me to make sure that you get it — or that you pass on it, if that is what is truly in your best interests.
A skilled buyer’s agent will write the kind of purchase contract that will prove surprising to you at every turn, with every term and condition tailored to achieve your best advantage. Your agent will supervise the inspection process and negotiate the optimal solution to the repair issues. Your agent will be prepared for every pitfall in the escrow process.
If you bought and sold houses every day, you could do all these things yourself. It’s because you don’t — and because the seller and the listing agent are looking to take advantage of your naivete at every turn — that you need a skilled buyer’s agent as your steadfast champion in the home-buying process.

Questions about the new appraisal guidelines
We are not appraisers, but the new regulations that went into practice on the first of May have had quite the trickle down effect on our business.
While the way these rules were meant to work should help to slow or prevent the next real estate bubble, it seems that our entire industry is against them.
The bigger problem is that no one (outside of the mortgage business) really understands what the Home Valuation Code of Conduct is all about.Here is what Freddie Mac has on their site
The sale of the following mortgages is exempt from the
Code: FHA/VA, Section 184 Native American, and
Section 502 Guaranteed Rural Housing.
Lender Requirements
The revised Code:
• Prohibits lenders and third parties from influencing
or attempting to influence the development, result,
or review of an appraisal report.
• Requires lenders to ensure that borrowers are
provided a copy of the appraisal report no less than
three business days prior to closing, unless the
borrower waives the requirement. The lender may
require the borrower to reimburse it for the cost of
the appraisal, but the lender must provide a copy of
the appraisal report to the borrower at no additional
cost.
• Requires any third party specifically authorized to
perform certain actions on behalf of the Seller to be
in compliance with the Code.
• Requires lenders or third parties authorized by
lenders to be responsible for selecting, retaining,
and providing for payment of all compensation to
appraisers. The Code does not allow any other
third parties to perform these activities.
• A lender, in connection with the loan being
originated, may accept an appraisal report
prepared by an appraiser for a different lender
provided that the lender obtains written assurances
from the other lender that it has adopted the Code
and determines that such appraisal conforms to
appraisal requirements and is otherwise
acceptable.
Here are some highlights from the FAQ page from Fannie Mae
You can see the full 8 page doc online by clicking here
Q1. What loans are affected by the new Home Valuation Code of Conduct?
Fannie Mae has agreed to adopt the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (“the Code”) for all
conventional, single-family loans originated on or after May 1, 2009, that are delivered to Fannie
Mae. For purposes of the Code, origination date means the date of the application. The Code
will not apply to multifamily loans, or to loans insured or guaranteed by a federal agency; the
Code only applies to 1- to 4-unit single-family loans sold to Fannie Mae. The Code will not apply
to loans sold to Fannie Mae on or after May 1, 2009 that were originated prior to May 1, 2009.
Q2. What are the professional requirements for an appraiser under the Code?
The Code requires that an appraiser must be licensed or certified by the state in which the
property to be appraised is located.
Q9. Does Section I.B.(9) specifically prohibit a lender from ordering a second appraisal?
No. Section I.B.(9) only prohibits a lender from ordering a second appraisal when they are
attempting to influence the outcome of the first appraisal and are now “value-shopping.” As a
risk control measure for certain loan products, it may be common for a lender to order more
than one appraisal, and this subsection does not prohibit that practice.
Q10. Does the Code specifically prohibit communication with an appraiser by a real estate
agent?
No.
Q18. Does the Code apply to other valuation methods (i.e., automated valuation models
[AVMs], broker price opinions [BPOs], tax assessments, etc.)?
No, the Code applies only to appraisals.
Q20. Does the Code apply to a loan that is insured or guaranteed by a federal agency and
ultimately sold to Fannie Mae (i.e., FHA or VA loan)?
The Code does not apply to loans that are insured or guaranteed by a federal agency, such as
FHA and VA loans.

The Peninsula Condos in Jacksonville Meet Guidelines, Search Peninsula Condos for sale
From The Jacksonville Business Journal
The city’s tallest residential tower has met strict new lending guidelines set by Fannie Mae. The Peninsula, the 38-story tower on the Southbank, is now in compliance with new lending guidelines Fannie Mae put in place in January. That will make it easier for buyers to get loans to buy units in The Peninsula. As of Jan. 15, Fannie Mae ceased offering loans for new construction and condo conversions unless the project was 70 percent closed, has no more than 30 percent investor participation and no more than 15 percent delinquencies on dues or assessments. “This is a huge coup for the Peninsula,” said Derrick Levy, a senior loan officer with Bank of America, the preferred lender for The Peninsula. “In addition to writing loans, it also means that an unlimited amount of refinancing can be done within the project. Other projects are at a huge disadvantage because there’s virtually no other financing available.”
The developer of the project, American Land Ventures, started construction on The Peninsula in 2005.

Home sales up in Florida, Prices Down
While sales of existing homes in Florida rose for the sixth month in a row, prices remained significantly depressed.
Existing home sales in the Sunshine State rose 20 percent, with 9,858 homes sold statewide, up from 8,181 homes sold during the same month last year, according to the latest housing data from the Florida Association of Realtors.
The sale of existing condos was up 15 percent last month to 3,198 from 2,785 units sold in February 2008. February condo sales were up 25.1 percent over the total units sold in January.
The statewide existing condo median sales price last month was $109,300, down 37 percent from last February, when the median sales price was $173,900.
Thirteen of Florida’s metropolitan statistical areas reported increased existing-home sales in February, while 11 MSAs also showed gains in condo sales. That marks the eighth month in a row that a number of markets have reported increased sales.
However, prices remain down, the result of discounted sales and foreclosures.
The statewide median sales price for existing homes last month was $141,900 – down 29 percent from a year ago, when it was $199,300.
The median is the midpoint of sales prices: Half the homes sold for more, half for less.
In Jacksonville sales were up 6 percent and the median price fell 11 percent to $159,500. Condo sales fell 26 percent and the median price was down 17 percent to $118,600.

13,000 homes for sale in Northeast Florida
I just went through and pulled some info on our current Jacksonville housing market, 13,000 single family homes for sale, that number is down from last year however the interesting fact is that only 9300 of those homes are not in some sort of distress!
Meaning almost 4,000 homes currently listed in the Northeast Florida Multiple listing service are either short sales, pre-foreclosures or Foreclosure REO properties.
As always you can search the MLS at our main website www.homes-jacksonville.com
