First of all, dont despair! Even at the height of our busiest times in the past few years, approximately 25% of listings did not sell during the first listing period, becoming an expired listing. So you are not alone. But now is the time to take a closer look at why the listing failed to sell. Here are a couple of the major reasons this could be:
1) Inadequate Marketing: A major contributor to an Expired Listing. One side-effect of a super-hot market is complacency.

In Utah, 7.3 percent of households with a mortgage were at risk of foreclosure in the third quarter, reflecting continued weakness in the state’s housing market.
But the state’s share of homeowners who have missed at least one mortgage payment was down from more than 8 percent last year. Utah’s delinquency rate also is below the third quarter national average of 8.2 percent, the Mortgage Bankers Association said Thursday.
Although the quarterly report shows improvement in problem loans in the state, the number of people having trouble staying current on their mortgage remains higher than before the housing downturn began four years ago.

Although you might be tempted to skimp on the cost of moving day boxes and packing supplies, that’s a decision that could end up costing you in the long run. The longer distance you’re moving, the more important it is to have top quality supplies to protect your precious valuables. Even a move across town can involve more jostling and pressure on boxes than you may realize.
There’s no worse feeling than having the bottom of box give out as it’s being carried, especially if there are breakables packed in it. Getting to your destination only to discover that some boxes have been crushed under the weight of others, or that the packing materials you used weren’t enough to cushion an item will also make you feel sick.
What’s more, if you use boxes that are designed for a specific purpose, such as wardrobe boxes or file boxes, then it’ll be easier to pack your stuff properly the first time. Instead of tr Read full article…

The Oakland branch of the Occupy movement has passed a resolution favoring the seizure of foreclosed and abondoned homes.
There are a lot of homes available for squatters in the state because of unpaid mortgages and loans. California has the nations second-highest foreclosure rate according to RealtyTrac. Nevada ranks #1.
While the Occupy movement started in New York with Occupy Wall Street, it has a large number of local groups. Because the groups are independent, the views of one local chapter may not represent the views of related organizations or groups with similar names.
In this case, a Twitter announcement mentions that the Oakland groups general assembly passed a proposal to encourage squatters.
