I can use your help. I did it again.......

Yes again...........Again I committed to play 100 Holes of golf to raise money for the Ahwatukee YMCA's Strong Kid's & Families Campaign.     And Yes, I'm trying to reach you again before the event.
  Our  communities' family's are struggling more than ever before.  The Y's Strong Kid's Campaign provides a means for families in need to have their children enter the "Y" programs.  What would happen to our community if all these children did not have a safe place to go to that will teach them to swim, be involved in sport programs and much more. It also provides services through our YOPAS program for Ahwatukee Seniors.

I have personally sponsored myself for $2/hole.  And I have committed to raise a minimum of $25/hole in sponsorship pledges.
I need your help.   The cause is great and the need, even more so. Will you help by sponsoring me in this event?   Could you possibly either match my $2/hole or if not $1/hole?  $ .50? $.25?
I know your my family and/ or  friends who do not live here but I am asking for your help.  It really makes a difference here. Too many families out of work and losing their homes.

Thank You,

New Real Estate Statistics

A Season of Real Estate Statistics

Posted: 27 Aug 2010 06:34 AM PDT

Some of the most valuable assets for agents assisting distressed homeowners are statistics … and industry players have released a ton of them lately. Following is a breakdown of some of the major, recent reports on the real estate industry:

CoreLogic’s August 2010 Short Sale Research Study:

  • Short sales have more than tripled since 2008, and multiple indications point to short sales continuing as a significant factor in the industry.
  • 1.9% of short sales studied were part of an egregious flip.

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) existing home sales data though July 2010:

  • Existing-home sales (single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops) dropped 27.2 percent.
  • Seasonally adjusted annualized rate of existing-home sales dropped to 3.83 million (down from 5.26 million) – the weakest showing in 15 years.
  • Single-family sales are at their lowest levels since May 1995.

The Mortgage Bankers Association’s Second Quarter 2010 National Delinquency Survey:

§ 13.97% of loans are in foreclosure or at least one payment past due (or more than 1 in 7 mortgages).

§ Foreclosure starts for prime fixed loans – previously the safest loan product (based on historic default rates) – increased to 0.71 percent, tying the survey’s record high.

§ Year over year, the non-seasonally adjusted delinquency rate increased for: prime fixed loans, prime ARM loans, subprime fixed loans, and subprime ARM loans.

Downward pressure on the real estate market primarily comes from high unemployment and slow economic/business growth, and this is now more apparent with the release of these reports.
