San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2013 -- Sellers of £1 million-plus properties in Edinburgh are reducing their asking prices more than almost anywhere else in the UK in a bid to secure a sale, a new report has claimed.

According to a study performed by PrimeProperty.co.uk, the amount which Edinburgh sellers have been forced to drop from the asking prices of their “prime property” (the term the UK uses for luxury homes) in the capital over the past 12 months is the largest in Scotland and the second-biggest in Britain.

The asking price of a typical prime property in Edinburgh is being reduced by an average of 17.6 percent from the original asking price. In addition, a discount to the asking price was applied to almost 17 percent of £1m-plus homes in the city. Despite this, the proportion of discounted prime properties UK-wide having dropped to 18 percent from 27 percent since last year.

The top end of the housing market, such as for prime properties and luxury homes, has typically weathered the recession better than other sectors, or so experts claim. However, the majority of properties including those that are “prime” are still selling for below their home report valuations.

In Edinburgh last year, the Bank of Scotland released a report that showed a total of 50 £1m-plus homes were sold. That was more than a third of all prime property sold north of the Border. The number of £1m-plus homes sold in Scotland also rocketed by 14 percent over the same period.

New gym opening in Bismarck area in adjacent allotment

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2013 -- Lance Gaebe, the Department of Trust Lands Commissioner noted that the state is interested in selling Section 36, which is the nearly 600 acres located along the Bismarck Expressway and Centennial Road in the east Bismarck area.

The state had hired the Ulteig Engineers to study just how it might be marketed to possible buyers as a development. The study is said to be completed at the end of June.

The state has already attempted to sell portions of the land since 2007, but the interested parties were unable to come to an agreement on the land use and value.

“We have had interest from all sectors — commercial, industrial, residential,” Gaebe said.

The state is currently required to offer the property via an auction, and the property cannot be sold for any less than the appraised amount that it is allowed for public purposes, such as schools. Money then goes to the public education in the state, according to Gaebe.

The 2007 attempt to sell saw the southeast section of the property appraised for over $2,380,000. The southwest section fetched an appraised amount of $1,301,000.

The entirety of the property is now used as pasture land currently. The area surrounding the land is currently a commercial and industrial development to the north, while to the east lies rural housing. Retail businesses are located on the west end of the property, while the Missouri Valley Fairgrounds lies to the south.

In other property news, a new gym will be located on in the W. Villard Street area.

Co-owner Randy Walz stated the gym will hold a CrossFit section of the gym, and will have cardio machines as well as free weights. The gym itself will offer everything from off-season training for athletes to personal training for customers.

Walz stated that she is preparing the 6,500-foot space for renovation. She, as well as her business partners, Shane Walz and Sam Wilson, hope to open the project in Bismark in September.

“There’s really a need for it in the community,” she said.

Wells Fargo has agreed to spend at least $42?million to settle allegations that it neglected the maintenance and marketing of foreclosed homes in minority neighborhoods all over the country.

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/11/2013 -- According to the National Fair Housing Alliance, Wells Fargo, which did not admit any wrongdoing, will provide $27?million to nonprofit groups to promote homeownership, neighborhood stabilization and property rehabilitation in minority communities in 19 metropolitan areas.

A year-long investigation by the NFHA, an advocacy group for homeownership, found that homes serviced by Wells Fargo in minority communities were far less likely to be kept up and maintained than those in white areas. Many of the houses in minority neighborhoods have broken windows, unkempt yards and/or water damage to the property, causing them to be an eyesore for communities. These home were also less likely to have for-sale signs than ones in predominantly white neighborhoods.

The agreement addresses one of the lingering scars of the housing crisis: As the number of foreclosed houses climbed in the aftermath of the housing crash in 2008, lenders scrambled to offload foreclosed properties, with many piling up in minority neighborhoods where there was a high concentration of subprime loans.

According to a consumer advocacy group, homeowners in the communities where houses are not being maintained have been eager to see these vacant properties sold, because over time, they can bring down property values and attract crime.

Mumbai, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/12/2013 -- Although it may sound cliché, a person’s location can really have an impact on how successful he or she can be. For example, would Daniel Radcliffe be Harry Potter if he had not attended a play with his dad? Would Selena Gomez ever become a Disney star if she had stayed in Texas? It is because of the importance of location that most business owners really take the time to check out commercial properties before starting their ventures. In cases like these, the help of Omkar Realtors & Developers Pvt. Ltd is typically needed and much appreciated.

Choosing a commercial space for your business is typically not something that you can do on your own. This is because you have to take into consideration a number of factors including how fast you think your business expansion would be, the current number of employees that you have, any particular requirements you might have based on the industry that you are in, and, of course, your budget.

If you are thinking to buy property in Western suburb, or even anywhere in Mumbai, Omkar Realtors & Developers can make things easy for you. Omkar Realtors & Developers has been in the industry for quite some time now having been founded in 2003. The company is known for dealing with clients who are looking to buy commercial property in Andheri as well as Worli sea face properties.

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2013 -- Housing is in high demand in Australia. Whether buying a home or renting a condo, Australians across the country are feeling the pinch. That’s why the government recently unveiled a plan in 2008 called the National Rental Affordability Scheme which aims to provide affordable housing by incentivizing property owners.

At NRASInvestors.com.au, visitors can learn everything they need to know about NRAS. The website features a detailed explanation of how NRAS works and how investors can use the program to their advantage. Specifically, NRAS encourages the building of new homes by rewarding the investors who built the homes. Investors receive a tax advantage as well as an annual $10,350 payment for being part of the program.

NRAS was designed to break the cycle that Australian investors typically follow, where they build a property and rent it out at the current market price. Instead, NRAS lowers rental rates while subsidizing the difference to property owners. The goal is to create more affordable housing for hardworking families across Australia.

The subsidy provided by the government doesn’t just help property investors break even; it actually helps them make more money from their investment. A spokesperson for NRASInvestors.com.au explains how that works:

“Typically, the rental return on a property in Australia right now is around 5%. With NRAS properties, we see that return increase to 7% due to the extra $10,000 per year in tax-free grants. That is a significant increase and it’s something on which investors across Australia are capitalizing every day.”

Investors who are ready to create an NRAS investment property, or learn more about NRAS properties in their area can fill out a simple form at the NRASInvestors.com.au website. That form simply asks for a name, email address, and phone number. NRASInvestors.com.au promises to provide an end-to-end solution that connects NRAS investors with the properties they need.

NRAS is currently in Round 5 of allocations, which ends on August 6 2013. Round 5 seeks to allocate 10,000 incentives for dwellings. Those ready to learn more about NRAS and how they can use the program to generate more income from a property investment can visit NRASInvestors.com.au for all the information they need.

Anyone not looking to actual live in a property gets big payday

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2013 -- While home prices continue to rebound in the Sonoma County area over the course of 2012, the real estate investors jumped into the market in order to flip hundreds of properties for increasingly ridiculous gains, according to a new study.

Nearly 10% of all homes sold in the area within 2012 was purchased and sold within a six-month window, according to RealtyTrac, an information firm for real estate. The short-term buy and sell action seen in such cases is known as &aposflipping&apos wherein a purchasing entity is looking only to make profit on ownership, and not actually own the property.

In 2012, 5267 homes were sold twice within the six month period, which constituted a 47% increase from the year prior, according to RealtyTrac.

Investors put into the local market for solid reasons (from their standpoint). The Sonoma County area was among the most valuable in 2012. The ability to make quick fixes to investments and sell them for absorbent prices meant profit for all who didn&apost actually want to live in a residence, according to RealtyTrac.

The study, which was created in order to measure the average spread between purchase price and sales prices for the flipped homes, found Sonoma County to be in the Top-20 areas for profitability. It outranked over 600 metropolitan areas with its placing. The Top-25 communities include the San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, San Francisco, areas. Outside of California areas that ranked highest were Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Miami.

“I think the number one reason they&aposre on the list is because of rising home prices,” said Daren Blomquist, a vice president at RealtyTrac.

The firm estimated that the media in the Sonoma County area had a home value of 116% compared to the 2011 numbers. That placed the area as one of the highest increases. Flippers had an average payout of $285,000, while being able to &aposflip&apos the house for an average of $338,903, which constituted a 19% profit on average.

Company hopes to avoid pitfalls of earlier acquisitions with Tumblr purchase

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2013 -- The Yahoo company stated that it was to set up a large office in Times Square and would be launching a major update for its Flickr branch.

“For a while Yahoo has been looking for a home here in New York. We recently took out the lease on 229 West 43rd Street, right here in Times Square,” CEO Marissa Mayer said in a press event in Times Square.

The Yahoo offices now have 500 staff members in the New York area, which leaves room for 200 hires, according to the company. The Tumblr staff will remain at their current Union Square headquarters, said a spokesperson for the media company.

The same day of the announcement, the company noted it would have its first major acquisition in years, as it looked to upgrade its largest failure to day: Flickr.

The upgrade is said to offer around a terabyte of free photo storage, as well as allowing all users to have full resolution uploads and displays as a default option. The website has moved to a layout similar to Pinterest, and uses a page with photos without cropping.

“It’s heart-stoppingly beautiful. It’s all about the photos,” said Mayer.

The update is currently live, and has nearly a dozen billboards up and running in the Time Square area.

The company also recently launched an app specified for the Android, in order to match its iOS application.

“When I came to Yahoo the Internet petitioned me to make Flickr awesome again, and I do think Flickr is awesome again today. But it wasn’t me who made it awesome. I really want to thank the team,” Mayer said.

Mayer, regarding the Tumblr acquisition, stated that the acquisition began as potential partnership talks. She noted, however, that it turned to acquisition after the companies saw that they could “operate independently but sort of compliment each other.”

Erik and Kari Cryder had their backs to the wall with a foreclosure sale date pending on their home in California. When they hired realestatelawcenter.org and Paladin Securitization Auditors, everything changed in their favor.

Cheyenne, WY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2013 -- The Cyders had a recent foreclosure sale date set by JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. and they decided to fight back against what they believed was wrongful foreclosure. They looked to The Law Offices of Art Hoomiratana at http://www.realestatelawcenter.org for foreclosure defense services. Realestatelawcenter.org then suggested they hire Paladin Securitization Auditors to provide a securitization audit for their case. The audit found clear evidence of statutory violations, promissory estoppels, Negligence, Negligent Misrepresentation, Violation of Business and Professional Code 17 200. Armed and ready, realestatelawcenter.org sued JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. for Fraud and Wrongful Foreclosure.

As soon as the suit hit the courtroom, the judge issued a temporary restraining order against JP Morgan Chase Bank and allowed the Cryders to stay in their home for the duration of the litigation. If that sounded like a win, the outcome will open the eyes of homeowners nationwide. JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. settled on a monthly mortgage payment reduction from $3,842.61 to $3,127.71 – a savings of $714.90 per month. Additionally, they agreed that for every year, for three years, that Erik and Kari Cryder successfully made all of their mortgage payments on time the lender would forgive $91,638.29 of their total mortgage balance. If the Cryders are capable of making their payments on time for the next three years, they will have been awarded a grand total of $274,914.84 in damages from the lender.

This amazing story is not uncommon and Paladin Securitization Auditors is urging homeowners to take a closer look at their mortgage situation. They are currently offering a free phone consultation to homeowners who feel they may be victims of foreclosure fraud or negligence on behalf of the lender. Their number is (877) 848-8088 or you can contact them via email here: http://securitizationauditservices.com/contact/

Zillow, an online real estate database, released a report with five home renovations that could depreciate the value of a home.

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2013 -- Unlike homeowners of 25 years ago when people grew up in one home, today’s typical families only live in a house five to seven years. Even if you’re the one buying a house, you have to think like a seller, especially in regards to home renovations.

Zillow released a report that shows five mistakes homeowners make when trying to renovate to get more money out of their house that actually hurts the resale value of their home.

One of the worst mistakes a homeowner makes is giving the yard too much landscape. While it looks beautiful and the current homeowner has a wonderful green thumb, a potential buyer may see it as a nuisance and too much work to hassle with.

Another huge no-no is changing the garage into a family room. While the current homeowner may not have a nice car or finds that a driveway is sufficient, a buyer may expect a garage, especially if the home sits in a suburb. When a garage is taken out of the house, homeowners lose an entire group of people who simply won’t buy a house if it doesn’t have a garage.

Similar to converting a garage into a family room is taking out a bedroom and using it as a closet or office with a built in desk, shelves, and cabinets. While it may be a good idea for current homeowners who don’t need the extra space as a bedroom, potential buyers may need that room, especially if they have children.

Adding a swimming pool may sound like a great idea, but like too much landscape, it can be seen as too much maintenance, and it comes with a lot more liability. If a homeowner lives in the South where it’s warm most months, it may be a must-have, but if it’s only warm a few months out of the year, it might not be worth it.

Often, homeowners put the work they want done into a home as if they were the ones who are buying the home. However, their best bet would be to stay contemporary and simple.
