Slight Seller's Advantage Market appears to have begun to cool. As we’re still notably in the Seller’s zone, prices have not yet adjusted. If the market continues to cool, then expect prices to follow lower. It may take a few more weeks of slack demand for prices to reflect and begin to fall.

Expect this condition if the index falls to the Buyer’s zone.

Not surprisingly, all segments in this zip code are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the high-end) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a slowdown for the whole group.

MOVING CHECKLIST 8 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR MOVE  Inventory Sheets: Create an inventory sheet of all your belongings which need to be moved  Research Moving Options: You’ll need to decide if yours is a do-it-yourself move or if you’ll be using a moving company.  Request Moving Quote: Solicit moving quotes from as many moving companies and movers as possible. There can be a large difference between rates and services within moving companies.  Discard Unnecessary Items: Moving is a great time for ridding yourself of unnecessary items. Have a yard sale or donate unnecessary items to charity.  Packing Material: Gather moving boxes and packing material for your move.  Contact Insurance Companies: You’ll need to contact your insurance agent to cancel/transfer your insurance policy.

4 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR MOVE  Start Packing: Begin packing all things destined for your new location.  Obtain Your Medical Records: Contact your doctor, physician, dentist and other medical specialists who may currently be retaining any of your family’s medical records. Obtain these records or make plans for them to be delivered to your new medical facilities if changing. Security is critical of personal records.  Note Food Inventory Levels: Check your cupboards, refrigerator and freezer. Use up as much of your perishable food as possible.  Small Engines: Service small engines for your move by extracting gas and oil from the machines.

This will reduce that chance to catch fire during your move.  Protect Jewelry and Valuables: Transfer your jewelry and valuables to a safety deposit box; you don’t want them to be lost or stolen during your move.  Borrowed and Rented Items: Return items which you may have borrowed or rented. Collect items borrowed to others.

1 WEEK BEFORE YOUR MOVE  Your Change of Address: Change your address with the USPS, DMV, Financial Institutions, Utilities, Government Offices, Health Care Service Providers, Memberships, Subscriptions and Insurance Provisions.  Bank Accounts: Transfer or close bank accounts if changing banks. Make sure to have a money order for paying the moving company.  Service Automobiles: If automobiles are to be driven long distance, you’ll want to have them serviced so you have a trouble-free drive.  Cancel Services: Notify any remaining service providers (newspapers, lawn services, etc.) of your move.  Travel Items: Set aside all items you’ll need while traveling. Make sure these are not packed on the moving truck..  Contact Utility Companies: Set utility turnoff date, seek refunds and deposits and notify them of your new address.

MOVING DAY  Plan Your Itinerary: Make plans to spend the entire day at the house or at least until the movers are on their way. Someone will need to be around to make decisions. Make plans for kids and pets to be at a sitters for the day.  Review the House: Once the house is empty, check the entire house (closets, attic, basement, etc.) to ensure no items are left or no home issues exist.  Double Check With Your Mover: Ensure the mover has the new property address and all of your most recent contact information, should they have any questions during your move.  Vacate Your Home: Make sure utilities are off, doors and windows are locked and notify your real estate agent you’ve vacated the property.  Questions To Ask: Where is the garage door opener? Where are the keys to the house, mailbox and other lockable area? Did you retrieve all keys from neighbors and friends?

TITLE & ESCROW

CYBER SECURITY Because of you‌ we obsess over cyber security!

Cyber fraud and email hacking is on the rise. Fraudsters may access individual email accounts and monitor the life of your transaction. At the time funds are due to the escrow, fraudsters intercept the information for wiring funds and the fraudsters change the information without the knowledge of the sender or recipient, resulting in the funds being sent to an outside account and never credited to the intended party.

To protect and reduce your risk, WFG has implemented the following procedures for outgoing and incoming wires: Outgoing Wire from WFG to seller or borrower for proceeds In the escrow paperwork provided you will be asked to provide written instructions how you want funds due you sent to you at close of escrow. If you choose to have the funds sent via wire transfer, WFG will contact you by phone to confirm the wire information provided.

Incoming Wires from buyer and/or lender to WFG bank account For funds that are to be wired to WFG for your transaction, we will send specific wire instructions to the remitting person via an encrypted email. We recommend you reach out to your WFG contact to confirm the wire instructions prior to remittance.

We look forward to processing your escrow transaction for you. We know that this can be a stressful time and we are here to assist you in any way we can to make this a good experience. http://national.wfgnationaltitle.com/2016/04/05/obsess-cyber-security/

WHY IS OWNER’S TITLE INSURANCE IMPORTANT? Financially speaking, the decision to buy a home is one of the biggest decisions a person will likely ever make.

Owner’s title insurance insures that, when the purchase is closed, the buyer is the owner of and has marketable title to the property, has access to the home, and there are no liens, claims, or restrictions on the buyer’s property, other than the mortgage the buyer agrees to pay.

If the preliminary title search uncovers potential problems, a buyer can require that those problems be satisfactorily dealt with before closing on the home.

In addition, owner’s title insurance protects buyers against a myriad of risks that not even the most careful title search can uncover, including things such forged documents, undisclosed or missing heirs of a previous owner, fraud, will disputes, and unrecorded claims of many types.

Without owner’s title insurance, the legal costs to resolve such title claims could easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars and would have to be paid out of pocket by the buyer - not to mention the stress that such situations would cause to the buyer.

Owner’s title insurance is one of the most affordable insurance policies a person can ever buy. Unlike other forms of insurance, there is only a one-time fee at closing for the policy, which financially protects the buyer’s investment for as long as the buyer or the buyer’s heirs own the home.

So, if someone tells the buyer that owner’s title insurance is “optional”, that certainly does not mean that the buyer should not get it. Virtually every lender requires lender’s title insurance, but that insurance does not protect the buyer.

In order to safeguard the buyer’s investment in the property, which is possibly the most important investment the buyer will ever make, owner’s title insurance is absolutely critical.

WHAT IS ESCROW Understanding the Escrow Process An escrow is an arrangement in which a neutral third party (the escrow agent) assembles and processes many of the components of a real estate transaction, records the transaction, and ultimately, disburses and distributes funds according to the buyers’, sellers’ and lenders’ instructions. Your transaction is typically closed by an Escrow Officer. People buying and selling real estate usually open an escrow for their protection and convenience.

Both the buyer and seller rely on the escrow agent to carry out their written instructions relating to the transaction and to advise them if any of their instructions are not mutually consistent or cannot be carried out. If the instructions from all parties to an escrow are clearly drafted, the escrow officer can proceed on behalf of the buyer and seller without further consultation. This saves much time and facilitates the closing of the transaction.

Typical Roles in the Closing Process The Seller/Agent  Delivers a fully executed Purchase Sale Agreement to the escrow agent.  Executes the paperwork necessary to close the transaction.

The Buyer/Agent  Deposits collected funds required to close (in with the escrow agent.  Approves the commitment for title insurance, or other items as called for by the Purchase Sale Agreement.  Executes the paperwork and loan documents necessary to close the transaction.

The Lender  Deposits loan documents to be executed by the buyer.  Deposits the loan proceeds.  Directs the escrow agent of the conditions under which the loan funds may be used The Escrow Agent  Clears Title  Obtains title insurance  Obtains payoffs and release documents for underlying loans on the property  Receives funds from the buyer and/or lender.  Prepares vesting document affidavit on seller’s behalf.  Prorates insurance, taxes, rents, etc.  Prepares a final statement (often referred to as the “HUD Statement” or ”Settlement Statement”) for each party, indicating amounts paid in conjunction with the closing of your transaction.  Forwards deed to the county for recording.  Once the proper documents have been recorded, the escrow agent will distribute funds to the proper parties.

In Summary Escrow is the process that assembles and processes many of the components of a real estate transaction. The sale is officially closed when the new deed is recorded and funds are available to the seller, thus transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer. The escrow agent is a neutral third party acting on behalf of the buyer and seller .

WHAT IS TITLE About Title Insurance Title is a bundle of rights in real property.

Protecting purchasers and lenders against loss is accomplished by the issuance of a title insurance policy. Usually, during a purchase transaction the lender requests a policy (commonly referred to as the Lender’s Policy) while the buyers receive their own policy (commonly referred to as an Owner's Policy).

In short, the policy states that if the status of the title to a parcel of real property is other than as represented, and if the insured (either the owner or lender) suffers a loss as a result of a title defect, the insurer will reimburse the insured for that loss and any related legal expenses, up to the face amount of the policy, subject to exceptions and exclusions contained in the policy.

Typically there are two policies issued.

The Mortgagee’s Policy insures the lender for the amount of the loan. The Owner’s Policy insures the purchaser for the purchase price.

How is title insurance different from other types of insurance?

While the function of most other forms of insurance is risk assumption through the pooling of risks for losses arising out of unforeseen future events (such as sickness or accidents), the primary purpose of title insurance is to eliminate risks and prevent losses caused by defects in title arising out of events that have happened in the past. To achieve this goal, title insurers perform an extensive search and examination of the public records to determine whether there are any adverse claims (title defects) attached to the subject property. Said defects/claims are either eliminated prior to the issuance of a title policy or their existence is excepted from coverage. Your policy is issued after the closing of your new home, for a one-time nominal fee, and is good for as long as you own the property.

What’s involved in a title search?

A title search is actually made up of three separate searches: Chain of Title – History of the ownership of the subject property  Tax Search – The tax search reveals the status of the taxes and assessments  Judgment and Name Search – Searches for judgment and liens against the owners’ and purchasers’ names 

Once the three searches have been completed, the file is reviewed by an examiner who determines: Whether or not the Chain of Title shows that the party selling the property has the right to do so.  The status of taxes for the subject property. The Tax Search will also indicate the existence of any special assessments against the land and whether or not these assessments are current or past due.  Whether there are any unsatisfied judgments on the Judgment and Name Search against the previous owners, sellers, or and purchasers. 

Rights established by judgment decrees, unpaid federal income taxes and mechanic liens all may be prior claims on the property, ahead of the buyer’s or lender’s rights. The title search will only uncover defects in title that are of public record, thus allowing the title company to work with the seller to clear up these issues and provide the new buyer with title insurance.

In Summary After the searches have been examined, the title company will issue a commitment, stating the conditions under which it will insure title. The buyer, seller and the mortgage lender will proceed with the closing of the transaction after clearing up any defects in the title that have been uncovered by the search and examination.
