Well, a lot has come on the market in Belmont over the past week. We have a few very unique homes, as well as a few east of El Camino Real that have come on. This is week 2 with no new condo listings. Here we go!

1010 Misty Lane, Belmont. Listed by Mary Yeargan of Remax Today. This is a beautiful home on a quiet street where not many homes come up for sale often. Very contemporary floor plan, but can use a face lift. I don’t think this one will sit on the market long.

3210 Longfellow, Belmont, listed by Vicki Ferrando of Intero Real Estate. It’s quite a climb to get up there, but no worries, there is an elevator! Not very often you see an elevator in a home in Belmont. This home is updated, has a nice floor plan and great entertaining space.

2019 Arbor Ave., Belmont listed by Christine Beard of Remax Today. This home has a lot of space, is completely updated, and an open floor plan.

604 Southview Ct. Belmontlisted by Janet Pepe Davis of Carlmont Associates. This home has very spacious bedrooms, nice views, and a good floor plan with a secluded master suite. This home also has a pool.

528 Davey Glen Belmont, Listed by Bryce Cook of Remax Today. This home has a lot of space and great outdoor space for the money. Probably one of the best deals in Belmont right now. This home was on the market previously, but at the new price, it should sell rather quickly.

1424 Sixth Ave. Belmont, listed by Weng Chia of City Life Real Estate. This home has charm and a lot of character and a bonus room.

332 Malcolm Ave. Belmont, listed with Robin Wrigley of Intero Real Estate. This home has a level yard, good floor plan, and is priced just under $800K. For the price and location, I wouldn’t be surprised if this home went with multiple offers. Yes, we are seeing some!

519 Cambridge Belmont, listed with Gregory Cohen of Coldwell Banker, this home is completely updated and has a living room and family room, an open floor plan, a nicely landscaped yard and a spa. Move in ready, and priced right.

520 Chesterton Ave. listed by Justine Ford of Remax Today. This home has an updated kitchen and and a good floor plan, but is also competing with other homes in the neighborhood that came on recently. There has been a sudden increase of inventory on the east side of Belmont this week.

506 Middlesex Rd. Belmont. Listed with Glenn Sennet of Coldwell Banker, this home has a lot of space for the price and will probably go with multiple offers per my conversation with the listing agent.

1105 North Rd. Belmont. Listed with Maria Schuster of Prudential Realty. While not technically a new listing, there has been a major price reduction from $689,000 to $599,000. While not the best location, the price correction should attract attention, however it is a short sale, so any potential buyer will most likely need some patience.

501 Middlesex Belmont. Listed with Tara Jaramillo of Coldwell Banker. This home is about 5 years old, and is completely remodeled from the foundation up! It boasts modern finishes and an open floor plan, plus a lot of space. Shouldn’t last long!

If you would like more information about any of these homes, don’t hesitate to contact us!

While Belmont is generally not an area heavily saturated with bank owned properties and/or short sales, it seems as though we are seeing an increase.

Short Sales-A Very Long Process

February 13, 2009 · Comments (0)

In the past 2 months, I have been asked over and over about short sales, what happens, what they’re all about, etc.  So I figured,  it’s time to fill you in on what these things are all about, and what you can expect if you plan on purchasing a home that’s being sold as a short sale.

A short sale is the step before foreclosure.   In most circumstances, the homeowner is unable to continue paying their mortgage (not to mention HOA fees, if any, and property taxes), and the value of the home is worth less than what the owners owe on it.  For example, if you purchased a $1,000,000 home in June of 2005, today the home may be worth $900,000.  In order to sell the house, the bank has to approve any offer recieved on it, in other words, the bank comes up “short” when they get their payoff.

Short sales require a lot of patience, as most banks have multiple short sale cases on their books, and are not adequately staffed to handle them.  They alsotake a long time to  approve or disapprove the offer.  Although the seller is still on title, it’s the bank that ultimately decides exactly how much of a loss they are willing to take.  Often times, the buyers end up backing out of the transaction for various reasons, but often times, they get fed up with waiting or locate another property that works for them.

As a seller, the benefits of doing a short sale is that it’s better than having a foreclosure on your credit, and in the meantime, you can still live in the property.  For a buyer, you can sometimes make out with a pretty sweet deal, but it requires a lot of patience.  The downside is that you don’t know what interest rates are going to do, and by the time the bank makes a decision, you may no longer qualify for the loan you originally qualified for.

So what do you do?  You’ve located a property that suits your needs, is in your price range, but it’s a short sale.  I’d say put in an offer, but don’t stop looking or pass up another house that may suit your needs.  A good agent will structure your offer so that you can back out at anytime and not risk losing your deposit.  Now, of course, this is just a brief summary and my experience with short sales.  I’d love to know what you think or hear about your experiences.

The Arbor  Day Foundation has named Belmont “Tree City USA” for the second time now.   The “Tree City USA” program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, who set the standards for becoming a “Tree City USA” community.  So, what makes Belmont a “Tree City USA” winner?

 1.  The city of Belmont has a tree board or department.

 2.  The city of Belmont has a tree care ordinance.

 3.  Belmont has a comprehensive community forestry program.

 4.  Belmont also has an Arbor Day observance and proclomation. 

While I have talked to a number of people that are at times frustrated with all the restrictions the city has regarding trees, they do keep our community beautiful, improve our air quality, and help keep property values stable.
