I ran the numbers in preparation for writing an article for one of my real estate copywriting clients - and found that a home price would need to drop 11% in order to offset a 1% rise in interest rates.

]]> Comment on Short Sale: The Seller's Liability by Michael http://www.angelakhomes.com/short-sale-the-sellers-liability/#comment-2868 Michael Wed, 05 Oct 2011 01:02:54 +0000 http://www.angelakhomes.com/blog/?p=415#comment-2868 I live in NY. I have a mortgage and a HELOC, both w Chase. The HELOC said in the language from their letter: “we agree to release our security interest in the property when we receive $5000 in certified funds…The amount paid to Chase is for the release of our security interest and we will waive the remaining deficiency balance on the account…” The first lien holder basically told me the same thing. I need to participate in some of the loss and they would provide me with a release like the one above. She said the language would not change and that they wouldn’t add anything regarding personal liability. “In order to be truly worry-free about the bank pursuing me for a deficiency balance do I need a clause that specifically says something like, ‘Upon closing and disbursement of funds as outlined here, Washington Mutual will consider this matter closed and will not pursue **YOU** for any additional form of deficiency balance.’ ” If I accept a deal such as the one outlined above by Chase, am I leaving myself open to future debt collectors? Or is removing the deficiency balance the same as saying that I do not owe them any more money? What about getting Chase to return the note to me marked "Paid In Full" along with their language as referenced in the first paragraph from above? I live in NY.
