Today's F@cked Buyer (Coral Springs)

This is a classic F@cked Buyer. At the end of 2006, this couple bought the house using a 80/20 piggy-back loan -- of course, with no money down. The primary mortgage was an interest-only ARM. What's interesting about this house is the timeline of the inevitable foreclosue. First, the ARM was not due to reset until January 2009. So, the homeowners defualted long before the loan ever reset.

The homeowners received their notice of default (Lis Pendens) of February 22, 2008. The final judegment on the case was on April 22, 2008 (surprisingly fast). However, the house is just now being listed on the MLS -- nearly 11 months after the first notice of default and probably 14 months after the couple missed their first payment.

Now the house is being sold for 55% off its original late-2006 purchase price.

11061 NW 41ST CT, Coral Springs, FL 33065
New request: I am looking to add "buyers" that have multiple distressed properties for sale. If you know of any, please provide a link or MLS listing to one of their properties. I want to highlight some of speculators that were caught holding multiple properties.

A 55% haircut!

And, there are still cheerleaders out there claiming that real estate is a great long-term investment. This house won't see its 2006 price again for another century.

Hi and a Merry Christmas to all in Southern Florida. Although I live in California, I like to occasionally see what the real estate market in Florida is doing (read: mind-boggling collapse beyond everyone's imagination that is sucking out the money of anyone that invested in this stuff in the recent past). The housing market is tanking in California, of course, but Florida seems to be holding its own in tanking at a record pace. What people in the Golden State never understood was that the Central Valley - from Bakersfield to north of Sacramento, approximately 450 miles - is our own Mississippi or Appalachia. I'm sure that Florida has its equivalent and the rapidly falling prices will tell everyone exactly where this area happens to be, as in this is not a buyer's market any time soon unless you happen to be an alligator...
