Homebuilding picks up in southern Idaho

By ibrealestate

Dani Grigg

The top builders in southern Idaho built more houses in June this year than they did last year.

The three contractors who built the most homes last month were Boise-based CBH Homes, Meridian-based Hubble Homes and Meridian-based Aspen Homes. They built a total of 87 homes in southern Idaho in June, compared to 68 in June 2008, according to a report from BuildIdaho.com

Trey Langford, founder of BuildIdaho.com, said he’s seeing increased optimism among homebuilders.

“Builders are enthusiastic based on the inquiries and the quality of inquiries they’re getting – meaning they don’t feel like tire kickers out there,” he said. “The numbers are fewer but the people that are contacting them are people that are motivated to buy or build new homes. They’re not just trying to figure out what the price of a new home is; they’re actually in the market.”

The top nine subdivisions in southern Idaho sold a total of 43 homes in June.

CBH Homes is the builder for seven of those subdivisions, while Brighton Homes and Eaglewood Homes are the builders for Paramount in Meridian, which tied for the highest number of sales (six) with CBH’s Silverleaf in Meridian.

Its good to see that these builders are building more homes,its very good for the boise economy, and it tells you were the market is. They are dominating the market in the 125-175 range. You can also see AdaCountyMarketReport.com to see some more statistics.

Flow Chart of Foreclosure and Short Sales Process, What other options do you have?

{ Posted on 11:19 PM by JR Erickson }


This is a good Reminder of what the process is when Homeowners goes into default with their mortgage.  There is other options besides Foreclosure and Short Selling.  You can also have your loan modified if you fit the criteria, There is a "Making Affordable" plan that can refinance you, and the Loan Modification program.  A Lender doesn't want to foreclose on the house, they loose at least 200-300k just in the process alone, not including the loss in the property.  They are motivated to keep you in, but overwhelmed so you have to stick with them to get it done.  There is Law offices that will help with the "Loss Mitigation" Process.  They are around $2500 to $3600 just for their Retainer fee.  I would use them as a last resort if you are not getting anywhere with your lender.  If you need a recomendation on a good law firm that specializes in Loss Mitigation, I can refer you.  If you have any questions on this stuff, please let me know, Leave a comment, or email me at jeremy@jrerickson.com

thanks

This is a Shot of one of my living Charts that resided on the Website.  Go to http://www.jrerickson.com/ACMR/NDF_Chart.html# to get the live document.  Every Week I put in the new amounts of defaults that are being recorded at the County.  A lender after 90 Days will Send a "Notice of Default" to you if you haven't been paying your mortgage. from there, they will proceed with Foreclosure process.
