I explained to her that a short sale takes place when you really need to sell your home but, because of the downturn in the market, you can’t sell it for what you owe on it much less pay any costs associated with selling. In a short sale, you put the home on the market at the market value and when you receive a contract, the lender accepts the contract as payment for the loan and the costs associated with selling.

My daughter’s instant response was, “Why would a lender do that?!!” I don’t think she could quite see a lender eating the loss because they wanted to help her out and, of course, that is not the reason. I explained that, if the house had to go into foreclosure, it would cost the lender a lot of money and they usually get a property in shabby condition. Short sale is a simple business decision for the lender. It saves the lender money. The nice thing is that it can also save the homeowner a lot of distress, devastating damage to their credit and even the opportunity to own another home in the near future. It can be a win for everybody.

Spring is in the air and a new contract with China for its fleet brings more good news to Boeing. Boeing also annouced an increase in production of its Dreamliner 787 which was most recently plagued with a fire in a November test flight. Wichita’s Spirit Aerosystems will benefit from this development.

Wichita Real Estate market performance was hampered by the usual cold weather. Now, with spring well under way, we can expect an increase in sales and a slight increase in listing prices as well, although prices are still below the February average. Buyers will be out with the warmer weather and prices will likely trend upward.

As always, you can count on us to find the best Wichita home sales for your needs any time.

You see the listings all the time. Price hovering somewhere around “nearly unbelievable” or even lower. Photos look halfway decent. Obviously the house isn’t lived in. Look at all the snow in the driveway, but hey, maybe it’s OK? Should we have a look? You call a brokerage and get either an over eager or underwhelming response.  Is something wrong? Maybe you have a funny feeling for a reason. Maybe you’re just nervous. How will you know?

Larry Lane has a long-standing history of complete 100% honesty and integrity. Larry will put you first– always ahead of the “deal” no matter what. He has proven this in the past too.  Larry has discovered problems with homes before, in the middle of escrow, and pulled the deal to a halt until the problems were resolved. It was no small matter either. Most likely the whole deal was going to fall through costing Larry not just time but money too.

It didn’t matter. First things first. And, Larry’s client was first, always and period.

So, next time you see a “Wichita homes for sale” listing, describing it as a large and generous– beautiful, wonderful home, and a great deal for you… and that funny feeling starts to creep in. There is a reason for that. You need to go into this kind of decision with a realtor that you can trust 100%– not just because you feel like trusting them, but because they have earned 100% of your confidence and trust by demonstrating that same quality and character all the time with all their clients.
