Appraisals Continue to Be Low and Sink Some Deals
With foreclosures a large share of property sales in some areas, appraisers continue to factor in the sale price of foreclosed properties when setting values of regular properties. Appraisers are aware the practice isn’t ideal, but in some markets they’re left with little choice because of the large number of foreclosed properties.
Bill Geiger Jr., an appraiser in Cocoa Beach, Fla., told a local magazine that when he has to use a distressed property while doing an appraisal, he contacts the real estate practitioners involved in the sale and reviews computerized listings for the property to find out as much as he can about the condition of the home when it sold. He adjusts the appraisal value accordingly.
There are other factors at work in holding down valuations. Rob Johnson, vice president of lending at San Diego Funding, says lenders demand greater scrutiny of a property if the buyer has a credit score on the low end or a high debt level relative to income. That extra scrutiny can impact whether the lender decides whether to make a loan at the originally appraised value
A third factor is the fluctuation of the market, with some sellers reluctant to let go of their previous expectations.
Industry professionals had hoped that repeal of unpopular appraisal standards would help address concerns with low valuations, but repeal by itself doesn’t change the conditions appraisers face. The repeal of the standards, called the home valuation code of conduct, was enacted into law as part of the big Wall Street reform bill passed a few months ago.

Record-Low Rates Not Swaying Some Households
Mortgage rates are at record lows, but these rates aren’t motivating home buyers in huge numbers, nor are they successfully driving homeowners to remodel or take out money for other kinds of spending.
In previous recessions, lowering interest rates has driven the economy upward. What’s different this time around?
Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, points out that homeowners are wary. Two-thirds of any money saved is going toward paying down debt or building savings. Only a third is being spent.
“It’s going to take about three years to get back to normal,” says Patrick Newport, U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight.

Foreclosure, REO Home Prices Rise
Average sale prices for homes in foreclosure and those owned by banks rose 1.6 percent in the second quarter compared to the first quarter and 6.1 percent year over year, according to RealtyTrac, a foreclosure marketing service.
The average price of these homes in the second quarter was $174,198 nationwide, but was significantly higher in California where the average price, according to RealtyTrac, was $256,833. These prices reflected homes sold by lenders or by homeowners who had received at least one notice of default.
About 24 percent of all properties sold in the second quarter were REOs and foreclosures. Their prices were on average 26 percent lower than those of homes not in foreclosure, RealtyTrac reported.
RealtyTrac Senior Vice President Rick Sharga projected that it would be the end of 2013 before the housing marked works its way through the foreclosure inventory.
