Online report outlines alternatives to foreclosure for distressed homeowners in Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, Rock Hill, Ballantyne, South Charlotte.

Fort Mill, SC CDPE-designated agent, Carmen Miller of Century 21 First Choice, has added to her HomesFortMill.com website, information describing several opportunities for homeowners to avoid the negative financial impact of foreclosure.  

This community resource is available at Fort Mill Foreclosure Avoidance defines foreclosure alternatives including short sales, loan modifications, and forbearance.

“It’s a concern to me that so few in our community know their options when they start to fall behind on mortgage payments,” Carmen Miller said.  “If they act quickly and get informed, they can make informed decisions to find financial stability.”

Foreclosure alternatives such as short sales—which now make up over one-third of real estate closings across the nation—are an increasingly popular way for both homeowners and lenders to minimize their losses in this tough economy.

“More lenders are realizing that they can save money in a short sale versus a foreclosure, and are more likely than they were three years ago to approve a short sale offer.” Carmen Miller said.  “This is good news for homeowners because they now have more options than ever.”

The CDPE designation Carmen Miller has provides real estate professionals with specific understanding of the complex issues confronting distressed homeowners.  Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPE-designated agents are able to provide solutions for homeowners facing financial hardship in today’s market.

York County will begin mailing “Notice of Assessment” letters to York County SC property owners this month. Your property is reassessed every 5 years or sooner if you make improvements or transfer (buy) property. The last County 5 year reassessment was in 2006. There is a good chance your home value in Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, Clover, etc will show an increase this year.

What? My property re-assessment notice from York County may show an increase this year? I thought homes have decreased in value in the last couple years! So why the higher property assessment values this year?

Since the last reassessment was done in 2006, property values were based on market and sales activity in 2003 and 2004. The market continued to experience property value increases in years 2006 – 2008. Your reassessment will most likely be higher if not adjusted since 2006. In fact, Herald reporter Jamie Self stated in an article, 77% of York County property values are worth more than they were in the 2006 assessment.

Some relief comes from a 2006 “Real Property Tax Reform Bill” Act 388. There are some guidelines in the bill that may help limit your reassessment increase or tax impact

The bill caps the increase in value on a property at 15% over a five year period unless there is an “Assessable Transfer of Interest” (meaning the home was sold, bought, or transferred) or additions and improvements.

Because of the increase in values during reassessment, state law requires that local government reduce the millage rate to what is called a “rollback millage.”

Here are some tips from the York County Assessor’s office in reviewing your Notice of Assessment

• Is the information correct on your notice?
• If this is you primary residence, is it taxed at an assessment rate of 4% instead of 6%?
• Is it showing the correct number of buildings and acreage?
• Does the value of the land and buildings reflect the properties true market value? (The price that your property would sell for on a fair and open market, with a willing buyer and willing seller.)

When you receive your “Notice of Reassessment” and you disagree with the reassessment, you will have 90 days to file a written notice of objection to the County Assessor’s Office. I provided a copy of the County’s form here. York County Notice Of objection

If you have more questions about your assessment or the reassessment process, I added a handy link to 2 York County help documents:

Mortgage rates have increased slightly in the last couple months but overall, today’s rates are still affordable.

Here’s a brief  history of 30 year mortgage rates for the last 20 years.

In 1990, rates averaged 10.5%. Rates showed a steady decline year to year until 2004. Rates in 2003 where around 5.6% then jumped to6.4% in 2004. Rates declined again to 5.8% 2005. The roller coaster ride continued in 2006 when rates were up to 6.7%. Rates then began a slow decline through 2010. 

Recently rates dipped into the mid 4% range and are now back in the 5% range. Its hard to predict what rates will do in the coming year but rates are still low.

Mortgage Update  Tuesday December 14th 2010

Rates are on the move AGAIN! The MBS Market is down over 100 basis points again and rates are headed for or are already at 5%. I will keep you posted through the week.

Why are rate going up? The risk of inflation has increased which creates risk on the yield of the mortgage backed securities. This has caused the mortgage bond prices to fall.

There are two main factors in the global economy driving this fear of inflation. One is the extension of the US tax cuts which will keep the national debt high and China announcing they are taking measures to slow their economy to head of inflation. See my video for a detailed explanation.

See update post on Nov 16 2011  Publix will open late 2012 or early 2013

Publix, a south east grocery chain, plans to build a 54,000 sq foot grocery store on a 3.5 acre property located at the corner of Gold Hill Road and Pleasant Road in the Fort Mill Township.

The proposed Publix grocery store would be the first in our Fort Mill, York County area. It would also be the first Publix location near Charlotte NC since Publix is primarily in the southern and western portions of South Carolina.

Publix has to re-zone the 3.5 acres from a agricultural residential zoning to a business development (commercial) zoning designation with York County approval. The York County Council has initially approved the zoning and use change during their September 7th 2010 meeting. See re-zoning application.

Publix proposed grocery store location has met opposition by next door residents who live in the Ashford on the Water subdivision. The Ashford resident’s concerns are; adding too much traffic, safety issues, noise, and having a large grocery store structure next to their subdivision as reasons for their complaints. The next step in the approval process is to seek York County Zoning Board of Appeals approval on Oct. 14. The Ashford on the Water residents protests will be heard at the Oct 14th meeting.

York County is still growing especially in the Fort Mill Township area. Another new grocery store Aldi, located on Hwy 160 next to Waterstone subdivision, is under construction with a planned open in January 2011.

I am hearing many different points of view if we need more grocery stores. Some don’t like the commercial building and increased traffic. Other residents encourage the competition to save money. What’s your point of view?

Update October 22, 2010

Ken Elkins with the Charlotte Business Journal reported on  October 21, 2010,  The York County Council approved zoning changes that will allow a Florida developer to build the area’s first Publix near Tega Cay. In addition, Publix is eying a second south Charlotte  location around the hwy 521 location in Lancaster County SC.

I meet with Liz Ciardi,  Home Mortgage Consultant with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, this past week . She past on timely information about the Home Buyer Tax Credit that expires in April. The following is a summary of the Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Tax Credit information brochure:

Seize This Opportunity

Little time remains for you to take advantage of the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit. Along with high affordability and low mortgage rates, tax incentives make now a great time for first-time and repeat buyers to purchase real estate. It also presents a good opportunity for sellers. Now is the time to make sure your home appeals to motivated buyers.

First-time Buyers

If you have not owned a home within the last three years, you may be eligible for a tax credit of 10% of the purchase price of your first home, up to $8,000.

Repeat Buyers

The tax credit program has some additional incentives for those who purchase another home. You may be eligible for a tax credit up to $6,500 if you have owned and occupied your current residence for five consecutive years during the last eight years.

There are limits on the highest income you can earn and still be able to qualify for the full amount of the tax credit. Single tax filers who earn up to $125,000 are eligible for the total credit amount. Those who earn more than this, but less than $145,000 can receive a partial credit. Joint filers who earn up to $225,000 are eligible for the total credit amount. Those who earn more than this cap, but less than $245,000 can also receive a partial credit. Qualifying buyers may receive the tax credit for properties with a maximum purchase price of $800,000.

Tax Credit vs.Tax Deduction

It’s important to consider that a tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar tax reduction, rather than a decrease in taxable income that would only save you a percentage of your deduction based on your tax rate. Better still, the tax credit is refundable, which means you can receive a check for the credit if you have little or no tax liability to offset.

To qualify for either of these tax credits, you need to act now! All contracts need to be in effect no later than April 30 and close no later than June 30, 2010.

Keep in mind the tax credit program includes a number of details and qualification guidelines; please consult your tax advisor for advice. Also, you may be able to benefit from other available housing-related provisions, such as funding for energy-efficient improvements. For more information or answers to specific questions, contact your trusted real estate professional today.

I thought it might be interesting to recap some of this weeks headlines from national and local news sources to see what the news media mood is related to real estate and the economy. Here is a recap of this week’s real estate headlines:

• Mortgage rates stay below 5%
• Charlotte-area home sales pick up in February (up 3.6%)
• Clear Springs back to development Mixed-use project one of rare starts across the region at Springfield Town Center in Fort Mill

(Charlotte Business Journal)

• Foreclosures level off in February
• It’s OK to be optimistic

(Inman News)

• Fort Mill to lose 27 teaching jobs,middle school sports to budget cuts
• York County Says: Fort Mill tower owners have 60 days – Claiming that MorningStar Ministries breached an agreement with York County to rehabilitate the former Heritage USA tower

(Fort Mill Times)

• FHA Head: Don’t Raise Down Payments
• FHA Commissioner David Stevens said if the mandatory down payment for an FHA loan is raised from 3.5 percent to 5 percent, the organization will probably insure 300,000 fewer homes every year.
• Future Foreclosures Could Hamper Housing
• A second wave of foreclosures could hit the market this year, which could negatively affect an otherwise stabilizing housing market.
• Mortgage Rates Remain Steady
• For the second week in a row, average rates for 30-year mortgages stayed below 5 percent.
• Home Equity Loans Available Again

(Realtor.com)

The mood seems to be positive, negative, and contradicting but I would say leaning more positive. Your thoughts?

I have a couple of Tega Cay news announcements I wanted to pass on to you this week. One is about write-in City Council candidate Chris Larsen and a new Tega Cay waterfront homes website.

News Annoucement One:

Tega Cay’s special election is Feb 9th to fill the empty city council seat. You may have seen new “vote for…” signs in Tega Cay recently. Currently, the two Tega Cay city council candidates that are officially on the ballot are Doug Collins and John Dervay. But there is a third candidiate asking you to vote for him via a write- in.

Who is Chris Larsen? Long time Tega Cay resident Eric Hillman has asked Scott and I to pass on more info about write-in city council candidate Chris Larsen. Scott has posted details sent to us by Eric at www.seetegacay.com. Here is a link to the Chris Larsen post and flyer CHRIS LARSEN WRITE – IN VOTE For TEGA CAY CITY COUNCIL.

News Annoucement Two:

I am pleased to announce a new website for Tega Cay as an addition to my growing number of informative local websites. Scott and I launched yesterday www.tegacaywaterfronthomes.com. Currently the waterfront home featured on the new website is 1980 Newberry LN Tega Cay, SC 29708 in the Lake Shore Subdivision. Take a look and let us know what you think of the new website.

North Carolina grants a Job Development Investment Grant to Husqvarna that could be worth up to $2.5 million to the company. In return Husqvarna will move its North American headquarters from Augusta, Ga., to Charlotte. This means approximately 160 new jobs will be created for the Charlotte Metro.

Swedish owned outdoor power equipment manufacturer Husqvarna plans to consolidate its Consumer Outdoor Products subsidiary in Augusta with its Professional Products office in Charlotte to create the North American headquarters.

Husqvarna said they will begin hiring next month and expect to complete filling the jobs in the first quarter of 2011. The jobs will cover a variety of occupations, ranging from administration to engineering to sales. No manufacturing jobs are part of the move.

We invite moving or relocating Husqvarna employees to consider the Fort Mill, Tega Cay, and Lake Wylie area as a good place to live. Fort Mill and Tega Cay are just minutes south of Charlotte, near or on a recreation lake, lower property taxes than NC, good schools, small neighborhoods, and a great quality of life.
