Saint Petersburg real estate. How much down payment does the seller request?

I get this question a lot.

The down payment on a house or condo is nothing that the seller actually requests. Yes, the seller can counter or reject an offer that has 99% financing as a contingency, but in general, your mortgage broker should answer this question, not you Realtor.

It all depends on your income, your savings, your investments and most of all your credit score and history and what lender you work with. The bank will give you different options and different interest rates and conditions if your down payment is high verses low. Here in the Saint Pete area, we consider 0 to5% a low down payment, 20% is about average and with 30% and up, you are in excellent shape.

Home owner Short Sale information for Saint Petersburg.

It really doesn’t matter if you are in Saint Petersburg or anywhere else Florida and it doesn’t matter where your bank is. In a short sale situation, the bank might forgive the balance owed between the mortgage amount and the sale price. Might,that is right. They do not have to. You or your negotiator or Short sale Realtor want to make sure that the forgiveness is part of the deal. Be careful, if you hire someone to help you with the negotiations and the paperwork, they better know what they are doing, otherwise you can get in more trouble than you already have. I do not want to scare you, but it is important that you understand the whole short sale process or have someone on your side that does. Banks will try to get as much money as they can and they will try everything in the book. Home owners that face a short sale are often intimidated by all this and they are an easy target. So, be smart, get help and get it ASAP. If you think you might be upside down and might have to sell, call your Realtor and or lawyer now. The most important factor to a successful short sale is TIME.

Anne Hensel, Realtor, CSP, Short Sale Professional, working with homeowners and buyers to successfully close a short sale transaction in Pinellas County Florida.

A lot of people here in the Saint Petersburg, Seminole area are facing a short sale situation, Waterfront properties on Saint Pete Beach or Treasure Island  as well as little homes in Seminole or Gulfport. Give me a call today and find out what your options are. Your short sale consultation is free of charge and confidential.

 

 

I got a Notice of default from my bank, should I begin the short sale process or just wait?

Do not wait, if you qualify for a short sale, you need to contact us ASAP. We work in the Saint Petersburg Pinellas county area and a NOD ( Notice of Default) is a wake up call that you need to take serious. The banks can issue a Notice of default 16 days after you missed a payment. Usually we do not see it that early, but some banks take action that soon. If you have received this notice, you only have a limited time left to complete a successful short sale. If you miss this time frame, you will most likely be foreclosed on.

No reason to panik, but you need to act.

Do I have to move out of my home when it is in a short sale process?

No, you can still live in your home and you should.

There are a lot of reasons but I want to point out 2 reasons why you should stay in your home.

 

You are still responsible for your home; you want to make sure it is kept up nicely so you can get the best sales price for it.

While you still live in your home, you do not have to pay rent anywhere else.

Think about it, with a short sale or foreclosure situation here in Saint Petersburg, the ones that have the best chance to sell, are the ones that are owner occupied. The properties are still cared for and kept up nicely and will get better offers and eventually a better sales price. The “abandoned” houses and condos usually look very sad, they are dirty and do not show nice. A lot of people think that banks want them to move out ASAP. That is just not true. In a Short sale situation or foreclosure, the bank as in interest in keeping the home as nice as possible and the easiest way is to have the home owner live in it. We see properties, where the seller has moved out, the grass is growing, the weeds are growing, the electricity is off etc. These homes are just not attractive to buyers and you will receive low ball offers if any.
