Whats the average earnest deposit on a $185,000 home? My realtor is asking $4,500. Do any of you think this is high? Thinking about ditching this guy.

Is there a new wave of foreclosures hitting the market? I have noticed that one of the auction sites that I follow had four times the number of listings this month compared to the average over the last six to eight months.

Noted an uptick in available mls inventory (~1k increase). Can't tell if these are from foreclosures. That's added ~1 wk's inventory.

I've noted a steady drop in "at risk" owners ie those with foreclosure filings in my zip. Still high on the short sold but can't close category.

I just think that there is a new wave of homes not selling since the $8,000 tax credit is gone. My realtor is emailing me homes that were not available a couple of months ago(I assume in escrow or something) but now are.

Your realtor doesn't set the EMD it is set by the seller, sometimes you can negotiate the EMD with the seller.

This will be interesting to see if this happens and how it will effect inventory and pricing.

Governments focus on foreclosed homes July 23, 2010 By Buck Wargo Local governments in Southern Nevada are cracking down on owners of vacant homes and are encouraging banks to foreclose on homes more quickly before they fall into disrepair.

This is a good example how the banks don't want to cooperate with the home owner in trying to help the home owner modify their loans.
It is interesting if a bank doesn't show up to mediate the home owner can stay in the home and the bank can't foreclose. Why would the bank do that is my question as well?

Nearly a third of lenders no-shows for foreclosure mediations July 24, 2010 By Cy Ryan Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley says she’s anxious to see more sanctions imposed by the courts on lenders who boycott the fledgling foreclosure mediation program aimed at saving homes for Nevadans.
