Hello Everyone,
Just a quick blog about the situation that is hitting people all over the country right now. I'ts under the surface and so many people hear but don't see it right away. Many people even in the Spokane Real Estate Market are finding it hard to make their payments and keep up. The homes aren't on the market yet here and it may take about 1 year to see them coming, but hopefully you won't get to that situation.
Remember your better to get behind on consumer debt than your house. Once you get behind about 4 months the bank may start foreclosure. You're best to at least catch it up by this time if you can to avoid additional fees. If you think you're not able to you may want to sell it to avoid it being foreclosed and to save your credit somewhat. Late payments are better than a foreclosure. I have found there is not a lot of help for people in need in this situation. The key is to pay attention to your timelines and start asking for help from friends and family soon. Don't wait until the last minute to either ask a Realtor what your options would be if you needed to sell fast and for help. We are developing a portion on our site to help with resources for all manner of needs in the community in Spokane. Keep checking back at www.TeamQuintana.com and click the link about Spokane .

Buyers, Sellers, Renters, Homeowners, and Realtors, all will be effected but who will be the winners and who will be the losers. I work in the Spokane Washington Real Estate Market, but the events and affects of the changes in the national market ompact everyone. Most people are kinda sitting tight on what's happening in the market but any savvy investor knows you ahve to take advantage of any market, good or bad. Homeowners have found this out aslo by refinancing when the rates get lower and selling when prices are high enough that they can upgrade and move up. Home Buyers watch the slow markets for deals and speed up when the market prices are rising. Renters rethink when the rates get low and are forced to rent when the prices get too high. So we all really play the market but the question is based on this market, where is it going and how can you thn be a winner and not a loser.
You notice I didn't mention Realtors yet, they also shift with the market. So many new realtors came into the market a few years ago when it was hot that even the bad ones were getting a little business that they were taking out of the pool for others to get. It's like fishing in a spot and then 10 other guys paddle over and drop a line in. Yes Realtors, you better check your bait! It's going back to realtors having to offer more to get the business. The good news for them is the business that many new realtors were taking out of the pool are now going back as those realtors fall away. This will bring back some stability to the market for them after winter.
So how do you win? it's simple know what's happening and don't make the wrong moves. It's like the stock market, unwise investors buy high when a stock seems good and then when it starts going down out of fear they sell. So they are losing money by buying high and selling low. Don't do this with your home. Iknow many home buyers who bought a home when the prices were high and everyone was selling and now they can't sell it for what they bought it for because the market is slowing. You almost have to train yourself do the opposite of what the media is saying. When it says the market is slowing, Buy!!! So that when the market returns you cansell and upgrade. Homeowners if the market is slow what you really need to know is how much competition is there, time the market when there is less competition and the prices start to rebound but don't wait until it's great and everybody is selling.
Renters, buy in a slow market when rates are lower to stimulate the housing slump. This is the time to buy and right now that is what is happening. Also the loans are harder to get now but stick with it and find a lender who didn't get in in the last 3 years to help you. They will know how to get it done. Homeowners watch for the bottom and look for a refi. Realtors, build your business while others are packing up, get a second job if you have to but keep advertising while other are cutting back and you'll get a foothold when it rebounds. That's it for now check out http://wwwteamquintana.com/ for blogs, on other topics and tons of information on national and Spokane Washington Real Estate.

There is alot of talk about the Spokane real estate market and many people are afraid of making a move because of it. I'm telling people don't be afrais of the chatter you hear. Just like with the stock market there is money to be made when the market is up and when it is down. The key is education.
Buyers are afraid because they think the loans are going to be too hard to get but really about 3 years ago people started getting the easy to get 100% financing and now they will go back to FHA loans like they were before this market and people can buy just fine. You need a realtor who has worked in different markets so they can guide you to the right programs to get your loan. When the market slows prices fall and if your a patient buyer you can find great deals. Work with a realtor who has tools designed to help you look without any pressure if you are just looking.
Sellers FSBO (for sale by owner) is a bad idea right now. This market is slow and all the realtors are getting more competitive to stay afloat. A sign in the front yard and FSBO website will not be competitive right now and that is why it's not working for many FSBO's that are still on the market now. Second is you need a good agent with wuality marketing that gets noticed. Hiring any old realtor is not going to cut it right now. You need to get educated on what to look for and make better choices that your competition on who to hire. Realtors are slower now and will put their best foot forward to get your home sold so winter time is a great time to sell. Plus their is less competition so don't get so deep in holiday mode that you don't want to sell until next year. All your competition is thinking the same way. Do the opposite and cash in on top dollar with less competition.

Many people have been telling tales on both sides of the spectrum about the market in Spokane. I've heard the doom and gloom and I've also heard the markets great talk. Let's get a little real. The end of Spokane real estate sales is not here, but neither is the market business as usual. There are many factors going on and it's not just the facts it's understanding them and who and what they will impact.
The sales numbers are down, but not drastically. The Spokane market needs to correct itself and I beleive it will. The first time home buyers have to be able to buy homes again and want to buy homes. What I mean is the loans for first time home buyers have shifted and they can still buy but then may be scared by the market talk and the fact that they can't get the same type of loans they were getting. The confusion alone is enough to slow them from trying which is one of the big fears buyers have. Getting the loan was easy when lender's were confident they could get a loan for anyone. Just like real estate, the mortgage market got alot of new lenders and loan officers trying to make money on the hot market. Many lenders didn't really know their business and were just shoving people into the easy 100% conventional loans. Now alot of those are not available so they don't know how to confidently help 1st time home buyers. I think the impact is less first time home buyers trying to get loans and more people waiting to buy.
If first time home buyers don't buy the 135,000 home then those people an't upgrade to the175,000 and those people can't buy the 225,000 and so on. If the first time home buyers don't move up no one does. There are still sale that will happen but the foundation of the process is the first time new home buyers. Expect to see this change as the lenders get reset and the market adjusts. Remember the elections are coming and many things are still out there to impact people's confidence. So I don't see it drastically changing soon. People are being tenative. Homes must be priced right, staged well, and marketed right.
