Journeys End-Grande Estates...under contract
A Windsor on Shaina Ct., lake and pool, just went under contract again. This home was priced at $465,000 when it went under contract. It was originally priced at $495,000-went under contract and fell out of contract once already...this home has been on the market for 39 days.
Journeys End...under contract...bank owned
The Bank-owned Santa Fe, on C. Durham, that went on the market just a few days ago is now under contract. This home was priced at $294,900. It was on the market 21 days before the bank signed an offer.
Typically with an agressively priced bank-owned property, the bank keeps the property on the market and accepts offers for 7-10 days, at which time, if they have multiple offers they give all prospective buyers the opportunity to put in what is known as their "highest and best" offer, at which time the bank normally accepts the best (not necessarily the highest), offer.

Journeys End has 32 Lis Pendens
In the course of researching the market for the areas in which we specialize I routinely review the "lis pendens" for a neighborhood. In this post I'll go over what a lis pendens is and what is actually going on in Journeys End regarding homes with lis pendens filed on them.
According to an online legal dictionary, a Lis Pendens can accurately be defined as: Latin for "a suit pending." The term may refer to any pending lawsuit. (2) A written notice that a lawsuit has been filed concerning real estate, involving either the title to the property or a claimed ownership interest in it.
In reality, it generally means that someones lender has initiated the foreclosure process.
As of today, there were 32 Journeys End homes that currently have a lis pendens. Typically this indicates that the owners are in default...most likely for non-payment. Now out of the 32, 2 have already gone back to the bank but have not been put back up for sale yet; out of the remaining 30, only 9 are currently trying to be sold by the owners.
That leaves 2 already in the banks hands (but not yet listed for sale) and 21 more Journeys End homes that could possibly end up in the banks hands at some date in the future if the owners:
A) don't catch up on their payments/interest/penalties,
B) don't negotiate a forebearance agreement or loan modification enabling them to afford the home and make payments or
C) don't sell their home via a Short Sale prior to the sale on the courthouse steps.
This number (23) is a bit scary as it does not give any indication of the owners who are behind on their mortgage but their lender has not yet filed a Lis Pendens...and this is common, as the lenders are much slower to try and take a property back today than they were 5 years ago.
This is an excerpt from an article I read/posted today from the Mortgage Bankers Association: The results were lead by Florida with 12% of mortgages somewhere in foreclosure, another 5% at least 90 days past due and a total 22.8% at least one payment delinquent or in foreclosure at the end of June.
If you'd like to discuss what this may mean to you as a homeowner in Journeys End, please contact me via email or call the office at 561-432-5202.

Journeys End...price reduction
A Laredo, 3/2.5/2, 2067 sq ft, on C Durham just reduced to $275,000 from their previous price of $299,900. This home has been on the market over 750 days since 2007. The home is being marketed as a short sale, although it was not a short sale in the beginning.
This is possibly another case-in-point about proper market pricing to maximize a sales price: If this home were priced properly at the outset, the seller may not have ended up in this short sale situation.

2) 1 "Custom"-4/3/2-1 story-2357 sq ft-$365,000
