Is Cash Superior to Financing?

Sherry Peckhoon Sim — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 08:35:00 GMT

Is a cash offer superior to one with financing? Recently, I was asked why the seller accepted a cash offer over an offer with a loan contingency. Is cash preferred over financing?

I think it depends on the type of sale and the seller. A cash offer is usually preferred by lenders. I don’t think it depends on the type of market. Whether it’s a buyer’s, seller’s market, normal market or a mixed market, cash has often been preferred by sellers over a purchase that’s been financed.

In a cash offer, the key advantages could be an earlier close of escrow, possibly no appraisals, and certainly no loan contingencies. These positives are especially preferred in short sales.

If you were the seller, would you accept cash over an offer that's subject to a loan?

Radon in Your Area?

Sherry Peckhoon Sim — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 08:31:00 GMT

According to the Department of Health Services (DHS) statistics, radon is a serious issue in many areas of California. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States!

So, what is radon? The DHS defines radon as a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas produced by the decay of trace amounts of uranium occurring naturally in soils. According to the EPA, all homes be tested for Radon.

Radon is everywhere. Many communities, including Santa Barbara and Palos Verdes, have tested positively for radon.

One way to minimize radon is to mitigate by sealing around pipes and cracks in floors and venting crawl spaces. If the house next door to you has high radon, your home may or may not be affected. Testing is the only way to know for sure.

I am supposed to get a good deal in short sales

Sherry Peckhoon Sim — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 08:50:00 GMT

"Everyone else is getting a good deal in short sales, why do I have to pay higher price?" Does this sound familiar? Do you have buyers ask you about prices on short sales listings? Some buyers are expecting a $20,000 to $50,0000 savings, and perhaps more off the list price and receive a shock when their offers are countered by the short sale lenders. Unfortunately, most buyers don't understand how short sales are being priced and the dynamics involved.

The rationale for the expectations on discounts stem mainly from the fact that buyers know sellers are in distress and unable to make reparis, and short sale lender do not usually agree to repairs, so the buyers are basically buying the property in "as-is" condition and realize they would most likely have to make any repairs. It does not help when the property is in disrepair, or when the deferred maintenance is overdue.

There are two key elements involved. Listing agents need to price the property at fair market value with consideration to the condition of the property if the property is not preapproved for a Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) short sale, and no appraisal or Broker Price Opinion (BPO) is done prior to listing the property. The list price should not be so low that offers will be rejected or countered aggressively by lenders.

At the other hand, buyers should ask their agents on how short sales are being priced, what it takes to have a short sale approved by the lenders, average waiting time to receive short sale approval, and their responsibilties when approval is received. Setting the right expectations typically help to assure the buyer and help them decide if short sales are right for them.

Cayucos Rotary Goes Green

Sherry Peckhoon Sim — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 08:46:00 GMT

Along with young help, that is help from Cayucos School middle school students, and the Eco SLO who provided the picks and buckets, Cayucos Rotary is going green.

Each quarter, Rotarians, friends and Cayucos Students gather to help clean the beach by Cayucos Pier. The clean-up has extended to Front Street that borders the beach, and South Ocean Avenue. With the provision of buckets from Eco SLO, Rotarians did not have to rely on plastic bags to pick up trash as they go through the beach or streets in Cayucos. Debri were picked up using picks and cleared exepditiously. Retailers, visitors and drivers either wave, said "hi" and "honked" their thanks.

The next beach clean up is scheduled on Saturday, April 28, 2012, from 10 am to 12 noon. April 28 is a significant day for Rotarians worldwide, as it's Rotarians At Work Day, where over 2 million Rotarians 'roll' up their sleeves to work on their respective club's projects: whether it's to clean their community, gather and deliver food to the needy, lend their hands to build or repair a shelter for the homeless, help a senior, work on a well or water project, work at a school and so forth.

Join the Cayucos Rotary at the pier by the Cayucos Vets Hall at 10am on April 28, and help to keep Cayucos a Californian original, clean beach town!
