14 REO homes/condos are now listed/available for sale on Kauai. This is the most ever listed on Kauai. Some REOs are priced right and sell quickly. Others take a few price reductions until they hit the right price threshold. Savvy buyers know that banks will often keep reducing their price until that threshold is met. However there are a few lenders who are not reducing their prices as quickly as they should. Some are just misinformed, due to outdated appraisals and some are just unwilling to take such a large hit. However it is not a good strategy to keep on waiting to see how low the banks will go if you are truly interested in a property. There are buyers out there who are buying when the price is right. If you need help in determining if a Kauai property is priced well, feel free to call or email me. Aloha Julie Black

As I predicted in my earlier blogs more REOs are coming on the market as lenders are now catching up to their Hawaii inventory. I expect in to be this way for approximately another 9 months before the REOs start tapering off. The good news is that their are buyers. Buyers are realizing that this is most likely the bottom of the market. We are seeing more sales to first time home buyers and savy investors. Hawaii Banks fortunately have money to lend. Please email me julie@hisemail.net or call 808 652-6174 if you have any questions about these or any other REOs.

October 2008 Kauai Foreclosure REO Update

Julie — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:32:23 +0000

Here’s Octobers list of REOs. I will update it as the month progresses. Its hard to say how Hawaii’s Act 137, the Mortgage Rescue Fraud Prevention Act, will effect the Hawaii market. The act designed to protect Hawaii consumers from persons who prey on homeowners who face property foreclosures may actually encourage more foreclosures as real estate agents and brokers are not exempt from the act. Under this act real estate agents & brokers can not have their actions be that of a “Distressed Property Consultant” unless they are willing to take the liability & limitations in pay that is mandated under this act. One of the results will be fewer agents will be willing to be involved in a short sale situation where prior to the act agents were very involved with Bank negotiations. Although well intentioned a negative effect of Act 137 will be the lack of agents willing to be involved in short sales and more properties may be heading for foreclosure. Contact me if you need more info on Act 137 or other questions about Hawaii foreclosures and REOs.
Aloha Julie Black

Kauai Foreclosure REO Update September 2008

Julie — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 19:39:04 +0000

Realtors like myself have REOs listed for sale. These are properties that have been foreclosed on and taken back by the bank. You can bid on properties at the foreclosure sale, the bank most likely will only bid up to their loan amount. Most Hawaii foreclosures (all islands) are posted in the Honolulu Star-Bullentin Classified section. The link to the site is: http://classifieds.starbulletin.com/results.php?classification_id=1004&format=ascii&numPer=10&category_id=10&mls=&acTst=Grr
