			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By email this week, I received an overview of the recent changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP). I have blended in with it some bullet points of my own:</p>
<ul>
<li>The changes are effective December 1, 2011</li>
<li>The new rules targets homeowners who owe more than their homes are currently worth</li>
<li>Mortgage must be guaranteed by Government lenders, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac</li>
<li>Mortgage must have been sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009</li>
<li>Payments must be current during the prior six months; no more than one late payment in the prior year</li>
<li>Homeowners can now refinance no matter how much they owe (eliminates the 125% rule that existed)</li>
<li>The changes eliminate appraisals and many underwriting requirements (in many cases)</li>
<li>The new rules include/mandate waivers of many expensive upfront fees</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can tell, there is some fine print in this program. As a great starting point, call us at (949) 240-5892 to help you determine the market value of your Danawoods home. </p>
<p>Then call our friend, Mike Harper, at Alpine Mortgage, 949-769-7588, who has generously offered to help, to find out how these changes to the HARP program may help your ability to refinance your particular home and take full advantage of lower interest rates.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fhfa.gov/webfiles/22721/HARP_release_102411_Final.pdf" title="New HARP Rules Issued October 2011" target="_blank">This is a PDF document</a> on the Federal website that outlines the new rules in greater detail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, the good news: there are five (5) Danawoods homes in escrow right now. That’s right – five of ‘em! Only two more homes remain on the market unsold – call me if you know of anyone in the market for a home in a GREAT neighborhood! As a snapshot of market activity, 5 homes out of 7 in escrow, and the other two&#8230;.only on the market for less than 30 days&#8230;..that&#8217;s a great marketplace! It surely shows demand for real estate, at least in Danawoods.</p>
<p>Now, the not-so-good news: the prices of these sales, with one exception, are disappointingly low. Based upon my experience, there are two reasons for this&#8230;</p>
<p>Reason #1: The national real estate market is in the doldrums. </p>
<p>Even in a desirable areas like Danawoods, and in Dana Point, and in South Orange County&#8230;.there is no escaping the powerful influence of a national economy. And there is little escape from the influence of surrounding areas like the Inland Empire, or north Orange County, for example. If prices fall in those neighboring regions, prices will be affected throughout Orange County, regardless of how much better our local economy might fare. </p>
<p>There is NOT a lot we can do about this national, macro-economic &#8220;drag&#8221; on home prices in Danawoods.</p>
<p>Reason #2: Homes in Danawoods are being marketed &#8220;wholesale&#8221; and therefore sold at wholesale prices.</p>
<p>There is something WE can do about Reason #2. </p>
<p>Step 1: Hire Mark and Christe Roknich to sell your Danawoods home.</p>
<p>Check back here shortly for an explanation&#8230;..</p>
