 PRACTICE "GREEN-NESS" It's not only imperative to respect and nurture our environment but it's PLAIN PRACTICAL for each and every one of us (and generations to follow) to do so. I believe that being resourceful is paramount to being "green." To me, it's also one of the easiest (and fun) ways to practice "green-ness." Finding different uses for things instead of throwing them away eases the congestion of landfills and reduces over-consumption of goods. Plus and most of all, it feels good. In true SitC form--I always try to keep 'the theme' going throughout my communiques as much as I can---I packed as much "verde" into this little newsletter as possible....including, 'Green' Homes for Sale, 'Greening' your own home-whether your thinking about selling or not- and news from the National Association of Realtors® about the increasing amount of 'green-seeking' buyers. Also, totally un-green related but still EXCITING NEWS, so I had to share::: Sold in the City's TV commercial... please don't forget to check it out (see the links above or below)...or else, i might turn green, like the hulk himself :) N+Joy Continued Success,  |

My personal tips to 'GREENING' YOUR HOME (& getting more green in your pocket, in return) ::: A FEW SIMPLE LOW COST WAYS TO TRADE GREEN FOR GREEN Implement systems:: Sound complicated? Not at all. Start with this simple change: Buy 3 small trashbins and place 1 each in your kitchen, bathroom and office. Use that as your recepticle for "recyclable items" such as empty toothpaste boxes, empty paper towel rolls, glass and plastic containers, used tape rolls and stapler boxes, etc...i'm telling you. you'll reduce your trash by at least one-third. It 'feels' good too. ::: Sweep! Don't water your driveway, patio, balconey. The run-off factor is one thing. But we are living in drought conditions in So. Cal, so we really have to be diligent when it comes to water conservation. That's just one of the ways; how about shorter showers (or showering together sometimes :), larger loads of COLD-wash laundry and loading up those energy efficient dishwashers. Can u believe how simple this stuff is?? All this will save you money too...imagine how good you'll sleep at night? ::: We already touched upon being "resourceful." Embrace the Spaniard in you and roll those rrr's RE-USE RECYCLE REDUCE Ohhh yeah, Green is Sexy too? Rrrrr! ::: Ceiling Fans! It took me 4 years to install them in my house because I thought they weren't stylish or cute...DUH! Best $75 bucks I ever spent to have mine installed! Not only have I saved loads of bucks on my energy costs but I'm cooler (and greener) than ever...who knew? ::: Granted! It's plugged into a 'clapper' but my bedroom lamp (and all the others in my house) uses an energy efficient lightbulb. The cost upfront is a tad higher than usual lightbulbs but these last twice as long which mean i have to buy (and throw away) less. Saving cash/saving planet :: clap along with me! ::: I'm all about low-maintainence! I suppose, that's why I've always been attracted to 'succulents," a type of drought-tolerant plant (i think possibly related to the cactus family). Besides the names being kinda sexy, they are visually beautiful with varieties that come in many different beautiful shapes, forms and sizes. But these hardy little plants are virtually the easiest plants to care for as they require very little watering, resist extreme conditions and can be used indoors and out! I love them so much, I'm constantly taking pics of mine...check out a couple below::: |

From the Los Angeles Times
Short sales: A tough road
As an alternative to foreclosures, short sales are on the rise, but they can test the patience of all involved: sellers, buyers, banks.
By Diane Wedner
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
June 15, 2008
RESIDENTIAL short sales sound like a picnic: Owners need to sell their homes for less than they owe, lenders forgive the difference and buyers grab a good deal.
If only. This is one picnic that requires a long wait for dessert. The only "short" thing about short sales, buyers and sellers say, is one's patience.
"The waiting is torture," said Mark Shandrow, a Keller Williams Realty agent in Long Beach who specializes in such transactions. "The banks are overwhelmed with short-sale requests, and some make sellers wait five months for an answer." That answer, in many cases, he added, is "no."
Yet despite the obstacles to successful short sales -- lenders holding the first and second mortgages don't agree on the terms, buyers often ditch the deal midstream or banks nix the agreement just before escrow closes -- they're on the rise. Countrywide Financial Corp. of Calabasas, the largest U.S. home lender, reports a nearly 60% increase in those transactions nationwide in April, the latest month for which statistics are available, from the same period a year earlier.
In the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys, the number of short sales increased from at least 31 sales from May 2006 to May 2007 to at least 1,956 sales from May 2007 to May of this year, according to the Southland Regional Assn. of Realtors.
The reason for the rise, experts say, is that as more financially strapped homeowners fall behind on their mortgage payments -- and see their homes' values plummet to less than what they owe -- they're turning to short sales as an alternative to foreclosure. Banks, once loath to take on short sales because, among other reasons, they were understaffed for the application onslaught, are tackling them now mainly because they're more cost-effective than foreclosures.
"Banks aren't happy about short sales," said Sherri Frost, a senior loan officer with Sherman Oaks-based Metrocities Mortgage, "but they have few options."
Unlike a foreclosure, in which the lender takes ownership of a property after a borrower misses several payments, a short sale is a transaction in which the owners, not the bank, sell the home; they receive no proceeds from the sale. In a foreclosure, the defaulting owner may receive sales proceeds once the lender has been paid, if the amount exceeds that of the outstanding loan.
If a short-sale borrower owes $500,000 on a home, the bank may accept a payoff amount of $450,000, the amount a buyer has offered to pay. The sellers need not be in default -- meaning they stopped making mortgage payments -- in order for a lender to consider a short sale, but they must be able to show a real hardship to receive the debt forgiveness, which may have tax consequences.
Then there's the wait
It sounds straightforward, but the short-sale road is a long one. Once sellers have an offer, they must assemble a package to present to the bank, including a "hardship letter" explaining why they had to put the house up for sale -- loss of employment, a spousal death, a divorce, a disability or a mortgage resetting, for example -- and asking the bank to accept a short sale, according to a Countrywide spokeswoman.
The sellers also must provide income verification, their most recent bank and income-tax statements, the listing history of the house and other documentation. Then comes the wait. And frequent follow-up calls to the bank to make sure the file isn't buried.
"Banks won't grant face-to-face interviews because of the volume of short sales and foreclosures," said Mary Ebersole, a Re/Max Realty Specialists agent in Long Beach. Even if the seller gets approval, she added, "there's only room for cautious optimism."
That's because impatient buyers sometimes head elsewhere while the bank's loss-mitigation officer, or negotiator, sifts through the pile of short-sale packages. Or buyers put offers on five or six other properties to see which comes through first.
Sometimes, while awaiting a bank's decision, interest rates go up and buyers no longer qualify for a previously approved loan because their lock-in rates expired. Worse yet, a seller may get an initial approval from the bank, but in the eleventh hour the bank adds a contingency that skewers the deal, or pulls the plug without explanation, agents say.
Second and third mortgages and even home equity loans can further complicate matters. Last fall, Pam Kennedy, a Coldwell Banker Ambassador agent in Whittier, was disheartened when her short-sale client's lender demanded, after a long wait and with a buyer already on board, that the seller sign a promissory note for $15,000, which would be interest-free and amortized over 10 years. The seller had taken out a second mortgage awhile back to buy a recreational vehicle for $25,000 and pay off some debt. The lender wanted to recoup some of the loss it was absorbing.
The seller was going through a divorce, starting a new job and was afraid she couldn't make the payments. Also, despite months of effort, she couldn't sell the RV -- an asset, in the bank's opinion. The deal fell through and the bank foreclosed on the property. The experience left a bitter taste in Kennedy's mouth.
"I avoid short sales and advise buyers to avoid them," Kennedy said. "They are miserable."
Sticking it out
True, most participants say, but some eventually have happy endings.
Mari and Joe Abrams found the house of their dreams in Porter Ranch in December. They got quick loan approval to buy the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, and feeling optimistic about the new purchase, they put their Encino home on the market.
The couple offered $650,000 for the new house, which had been listed earlier in the $699,000 to $749,000 range. They paid a $10,000 good-faith deposit, agreed to pay all of the escrow fees (which usually are split between seller and buyer) and agreed to buy the property as is.
They expected the bank to quickly counter-offer. For one thing, the seller's second-mortgage holder already had agreed to the sale, a major hurdle in short-sale transactions. But without the first bank's approval, the deal stalled. (Both the first and second mortgage holders must settle to complete a short sale.)
The couple's own house sold three months into the process, so they moved, with their toddler, Daniel, and 50-pound dog into Mari's mother's condo.
By April, Mari, 32, started peppering the first lender with daily phone calls, seeking a response to their offer. As the deal dragged, the Abramses extended the escrow. It closed, finally, on May 2. The family plans to move in later this month.
"Our hearts sank a hundred times," Mari said. "It was a roller coaster."
"If we didn't like the house so much, we wouldn't have hung on that long," Joe, 37, added. In the end, however, they're glad they stuck it out. It is, Mari says, just what they wanted. Even if they didn't get the "deal of the century," Joe said.

Lenders will not accept short-sale offers that are far below market value. To the contrary, many banks "net about 90% of the current market value" on many of these sales, agent Shandrow said. Also, the homes usually are sold as is, which sometimes can mean a missing kitchen sink, ripped-out bathroom fixtures and stained carpets.
Marty Rodriguez, a Century 21 agent in Glendora, says she won't take a short-sale offer to the bank unless it's reasonable. "The negotiator doesn't want to look at 12 offers," Rodriguez said. "He wants the best, highest and the most qualified ones."
Buyers looking for bargains should wait until short-sale and foreclosure prices are down about 35% from the peak market in their search area, said James Joseph, owner of Century 21 Ambassador in Brea and Whittier.
"Short sales and foreclosures are the nails in the floor of the market," Joseph said. "That's where the bargains are."

Short sales: A tough road
As an alternative to foreclosures, short sales are on the rise, but they can test the patience of all involved: sellers, buyers, banks.
By Diane Wedner
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
June 15, 2008
RESIDENTIAL short sales sound like a picnic: Owners need to sell their homes for less than they owe, lenders forgive the difference and buyers grab a good deal.
If only. This is one picnic that requires a long wait for dessert. The only "short" thing about short sales, buyers and sellers say, is one's patience.
"The waiting is torture," said Mark Shandrow, a Keller Williams Realty agent in Long Beach who specializes in such transactions. "The banks are overwhelmed with short-sale requests, and some make sellers wait five months for an answer." That answer, in many cases, he added, is "no."
Yet despite the obstacles to successful short sales -- lenders holding the first and second mortgages don't agree on the terms, buyers often ditch the deal midstream or banks nix the agreement just before escrow closes -- they're on the rise. Countrywide Financial Corp. of Calabasas, the largest U.S. home lender, reports a nearly 60% increase in those transactions nationwide in April, the latest month for which statistics are available, from the same period a year earlier.
In the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys, the number of short sales increased from at least 31 sales from May 2006 to May 2007 to at least 1,956 sales from May 2007 to May of this year, according to the Southland Regional Assn. of Realtors.
The reason for the rise, experts say, is that as more financially strapped homeowners fall behind on their mortgage payments -- and see their homes' values plummet to less than what they owe -- they're turning to short sales as an alternative to foreclosure. Banks, once loath to take on short sales because, among other reasons, they were understaffed for the application onslaught, are tackling them now mainly because they're more cost-effective than foreclosures.
"Banks aren't happy about short sales," said Sherri Frost, a senior loan officer with Sherman Oaks-based Metrocities Mortgage, "but they have few options."
Unlike a foreclosure, in which the lender takes ownership of a property after a borrower misses several payments, a short sale is a transaction in which the owners, not the bank, sell the home; they receive no proceeds from the sale. In a foreclosure, the defaulting owner may receive sales proceeds once the lender has been paid, if the amount exceeds that of the outstanding loan.
If a short-sale borrower owes $500,000 on a home, the bank may accept a payoff amount of $450,000, the amount a buyer has offered to pay. The sellers need not be in default -- meaning they stopped making mortgage payments -- in order for a lender to consider a short sale, but they must be able to show a real hardship to receive the debt forgiveness, which may have tax consequences.
Then there's the wait
It sounds straightforward, but the short-sale road is a long one. Once sellers have an offer, they must assemble a package to present to the bank, including a "hardship letter" explaining why they had to put the house up for sale -- loss of employment, a spousal death, a divorce, a disability or a mortgage resetting, for example -- and asking the bank to accept a short sale, according to a Countrywide spokeswoman.
The sellers also must provide income verification, their most recent bank and income-tax statements, the listing history of the house and other documentation. Then comes the wait. And frequent follow-up calls to the bank to make sure the file isn't buried.
"Banks won't grant face-to-face interviews because of the volume of short sales and foreclosures," said Mary Ebersole, a Re/Max Realty Specialists agent in Long Beach. Even if the seller gets approval, she added, "there's only room for cautious optimism."
That's because impatient buyers sometimes head elsewhere while the bank's loss-mitigation officer, or negotiator, sifts through the pile of short-sale packages. Or buyers put offers on five or six other properties to see which comes through first.
Sometimes, while awaiting a bank's decision, interest rates go up and buyers no longer qualify for a previously approved loan because their lock-in rates expired. Worse yet, a seller may get an initial approval from the bank, but in the eleventh hour the bank adds a contingency that skewers the deal, or pulls the plug without explanation, agents say.
Second and third mortgages and even home equity loans can further complicate matters. Last fall, Pam Kennedy, a Coldwell Banker Ambassador agent in Whittier, was disheartened when her short-sale client's lender demanded, after a long wait and with a buyer already on board, that the seller sign a promissory note for $15,000, which would be interest-free and amortized over 10 years. The seller had taken out a second mortgage awhile back to buy a recreational vehicle for $25,000 and pay off some debt. The lender wanted to recoup some of the loss it was absorbing.
The seller was going through a divorce, starting a new job and was afraid she couldn't make the payments. Also, despite months of effort, she couldn't sell the RV -- an asset, in the bank's opinion. The deal fell through and the bank foreclosed on the property. The experience left a bitter taste in Kennedy's mouth.
"I avoid short sales and advise buyers to avoid them," Kennedy said. "They are miserable."
Sticking it out

Buyer Psychology Keeps Home Gains Back
Daily Real Estate News | June 5, 2008
Buyer Psychology Keeps Home Gains Back
Toll Brothers CEO Robert Toll told analysts that the foundation for a healthy housing market is in place: low interest rates, a low unemployment rate, a rising population, and increasing wealth. With home prices at 2002 and 2003 levels, the stage is set.
“When the market recovers, home prices will march right back up,” Toll predicted.
In the meantime, Toll called the current housing crisis the worst he’s seen since the mid-1970s – and longer lasting. He blamed buyers’ lack of confidence that home prices will stabilize – not the credit crisis – for the slow market.

Where McCain, Obama Stand on Housing

Where McCain, Obama Stand on Housing
As the race for the presidency shapes up as a contest between Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, and Sen. Barack Obama, who will claim the Democratic nomination, here are their initial positions on housing and related economic issues.
McCain:
1. Proposes to spend up to $10 billion to allow some home owners to trade high-interest, adjustable-rate mortgages for fixed-rate loans.
2. Proposes a suspension of the 18.4-cent federal gas tax and 24.4-cent diesel tax during the summer.
3. Supports a middle-class tax cut by doubling the personal tax exemption for dependents to $7,000.
4. Calls for a simpler tax system with two tax rates and a generous standard deduction.
5. Supports making permanent the 2001 and 2003 income tax cuts and proposes cutting the corporate tax rate to 25 percent from 35 percent and allowing businesses to immediately write off capital expenses.
6. Maintains that government assistance to the banking system should focus on preventing systemic risk that would endanger the financial system and the economy.
Obama:
1. Calls for greater government regulation of the U.S. financial system and proposes a new $30 billion economic stimulus plan to help home owners, including a $10 billion foreclosure prevention fund to help people keep their homes and $10 billion in relief for state and local governments hit hardest by the housing crisis.
2. Outlines six "core principles for reform" that would give the Federal Reserve supervisory authority over any financial institution to which it might make credit available and calls for reform and streamlining of financial regulatory agencies.
3. Wants to repeal a provision in the bankruptcy law so ordinary families can modify terms of home mortgages.
4. Proposes a 10 percent mortgage tax credit for middle-class Americans.

5 New Rules for Home Buyers

5 New Rules for Home Buyers
Surviving and thriving in the real estate market these days means following a whole new set of rules.
Here are five imperatives for those who want to master the home-buying game. Explaining these items to your customers to help you win friends and sales.
1. Gaming the market doesn’t work. There's a chance that the home you buy today will be worth less next year. So instead of trying to time the market, drive a hard bargain for a home you really love.
2. Real winners get the lowest mortgage rate. Financing is getting more expensive. Celia Chen of Moody’s Economy.com predicts rates will hit 7 percent in mid 2009.
3. Jumbos are a big bargain. A new law temporarily allows Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to buy mortgages as big as $729,750, which is keeping the jumbo rates down. The deal disappears at year-end.
4. Good schools count. Neighborhoods with highly rated schools are holding their value better than most, according to a recent study by real estate site Trulia.com.
5. Honesty is the best policy. Be upfront about your commission and consider letting the buyer keep any incentives offered by the sellers.
