Nearly 30 consecutive months of decline Orlando’s existing home sales have remained dismal. Bank repossessions and foreclosure proceedings are never pretty. As the economy sinks lower and the global credit crunch tightens, this scenario of foreclosures will likely continue in Orlando through 2010.
The Orlando Regional Realtor Association has begun tagging foreclosed properties in its giant Multiple Listings Service database. Perhaps an indication of an ongoing trend likely to continue throughout 2010.
Among the real estate sales in Orlando, it is said that over a third of home sales come from distress sales, bank owned resales, bank endorsed short sales, and foreclosure proceeding sales caused by delinquent homeowners either unable or unwilling to pay their mortgages.
Central Florida and Orlando Metro Realtors are therefore changing their approach to home sales foreseeing up to half of all home sales in 2010 to come from distress deals.
Sizeable reductions and losses in value continue to occur during the typical distress sale scenario. Currently, between a fifth to a third of the home values are being lost during foreclosure proceeding sales.
Even savvy buyers eager to buy distressed properties are becoming increasingly reluctant given the risks of buying properties with damage as disgruntled former homeowners flee with anything of value (i.e., air conditioner units, copper plumbing, and appliances) during foreclosure proceedings. The extra work needed when repurchasing a repossessed property can be enough to discourage even the most astute real estate entrepreneur given volatile fluctuations in the market. Hence such a large supply of housing is driving down prices, as demand itself is rather minimal during these uncertain economic times.
The prices of homes resold in the Orlando area are down between 10 to 25% since last year with distress sales being reduced the greatest in value. Homes ordinarily selling for approximately $125 per square foot previously are now going for $100 a square foot when banks involved agree to take less than the loan balance for the delinquent homeowner. Bank owned homes are going selling for about $80 a square foot when all administrative costs and losses are fully considered.
Arguably, the amount of distressed homes for sale on the market are causing normally priced homes to come down in price to be competitive when desiring to procure a sale. Homeowners desiring to sell can therefore expect reductions up to 10% of the asking price of their home unless they are willing to patiently wait for a generous buyer, while remaining in their home.
Next to California, Florida is the 2nd worst hit state in home foreclosures. Moreover Orlando has the 10th-worst foreclosure rate in metro areas throughout the country. When over a fifth of the single family homes in the Orlando metro area on the market are short sales or foreclosure properties, this is very unsettling for homeowners trying to sustain their property values.
