It Pays to Have an Online Presence Twitter

A quick note about Twitter I seem to be spending all my time there these days. For those of you not aware, Twitter is not just another tool in the internet of social networking, it's really is a small business. You have to run things as such, I've recently realized how much of a benefit Twitter can be.

On the surface, Twitter is an "update" tool used to keep you, your family, friends and colleagues in the loop of each others lives. You can post picture links, articles or gossip you just read, are how much you like this and not that. You can update via the web, a third-party application like TweetDeck, or from your phone (sms or an application like TinyTwitter).

But from a networking standpoint Twitter is a gold mine. If you follow the right people, you not only have the opportunity to talk with people in the same field, you'll find blogs on marketing and the web that you may not otherwise come across. I've bookmarked a dozen articles in the last week alone, that have valuable insight and information on how to market your business in today's market. I've met other filmmakers, and media networks.

I'm excited about the opportunity that Twitter has opened up for me, although I wish the site came with hourly pay

Fannie Mae opens satellite offices to sell foreclosures

New Mexico Business Weekly

Fannie Mae is rethinking how it will handle the tens of thousands of properties being repossessed as the real estate market continues to slide.

To that end, it is opening two satellite offices, one in California and another in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to manage and sell its foreclosed properties in those states, said Marilyn Kornfeld, a spokeswoman for the D.C.-based mortgage financer.

Nationwide, Fannie Mae has repossessed more than 54,000 homes as of June, exceeding all of last year’s repossessions.

“Forty-eight percent of our credit losses were from four states: California, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida. These states saw the most dramatic run-up in prices, and are now seeing the most rapid declines,” Fannie Mae CEO Daniel Mudd told investors during a conference call earlier this month.

Home prices have cratered in certain markets since the peak. Cape Coral, Fla., was down 50 percent, Las Vegas was down 35 percent, and Northern Virginia was down 30 percent. In California, Modesto and Stockton were down 50 percent and Riverside was down 40 percent.

“So, the housing market has returned to Earth fast and hard,” Mudd said. “Some signs do offer rays of positive light. Foreclosures actually fell in Michigan. Same-period home sales were up in California. And, as the [government-sponsored entities] provide most of the liquidity to the primary market, that market is functioning and a safe center of credit risk; pricing and product is being restored.”

Fannie Mae (NYSE: FNM) said it hopes its new offices in Florida and California will reduce defaults and better manage the property it has taken in foreclosure.

NEW MEXICO REAL ESTATE MARKET UP 4%

More homeowners owe more than their homes are worth

New Mexico Business Weekly

A new report shows U.S. home values dropped nearly 10 percent in the second quarter, leaving almost one-third of homeowners who bought in the last five years “under water” on their mortgages.

“The second quarter is the sixth consecutive quarter of home value declines and we see little promise of turnaround in the short-term as the rates of decline have yet to slow and, in fact, actually accelerated in many markets,” said Stan Humphries, Zillow’s vice president of data and analytics,

According to the report from Zillow.com, which tracks home valuations, second-quarter prices fell 9.9 percent from last year and were 1.7 percent lower from the previous quarter. The average home value was $206,919. Zillow said the median U.S. home value has not been this low since the fourth quarter of 2004.

One in four homes sold in the past year was for a loss and foreclosed homes accounted for 50 percent of all home sales.

In the Washington, D.C. area, according to Zillow, all home values fell 1.9 percent to an average of $368,177 between 2007 and 2008. Single-family home values tumbled 13.5 percent to an average of $407,348. Local owners who purchased their homes in 2006, with 10 percent down, are seeing negative equity of $15,517 or 4.7 percent , according to Zillow. The median owner equity in homes bought in 2007 is down by $717 or 0.2 percent. Homes bought this year have positive equity, on average, by $55,679 or 18.3 percent.

In the second quarter, 63.4 percent of homes in the Washington area lost value — 42.7 percent were sold for a loss and 24.9 percent were foreclosure transactions. Year over year, 90.8 percent of area homes lost value, 29.6 percent were sold for a loss and 17.5 percent were foreclosure transactions.

Meanwhile, in New Mexico home prices in all reporting markets are up 4 percent, while median (half above, half below) prices are up 9 percent from second quarter 2007. The average price of homes in New Mexico was $249,219 in the second quarter, up almost $8,500 from second quarter 2007. The median sale price was $218,750. Those numbers came from a Realtors Association of New Mexico's second quarter 2008 report.

Things are rosier for people who purchased their homes in 2003, with 15 percent down, before the housing market crumbled. According to Zillow, those folks have seen an increase of $117,500 in their home values, up 52 percent from the time of purchase.

Albuquerque real estate news

By Amanda Gengler, MONEY Magazine reporter

May 17, 2006: 4:27 PM EDT

NEW YORK (MONEY Magazine) - In early spring a TV news report on KASA Channel 2 in Albuquerque noted that the housing market nationwide was slowing down, with mortgage rates and inventory rising and demand slackening.

"Now with all that said, by all accounts here in New Mexico things are still red hot," quipped Greg Zanetti, a local financial adviser. "But we are usually a little behind national trends."

The Archibeck family economized when renovating their 1961 Albuquerque home, maximizing their return on investment.

Indeed, Albuquerque missed much of the great bull market in houses.

Between 2000 and 2004, median prices appreciated no more than 5% a year. But as other sunbelt cities are cooling, Albuquerque has started sizzling.

Call it the rolling boom. As high home values price buyers out of one area, they move to new cities.

Thus the San Diego bubble begat the Phoenix boom, and Las Vegas led to a bull market in Reno.

Now those booms, and one in Santa Fe, have rolled into Albuquerque.

"Even though our prices have gone up, we are still much more affordable than other areas," says Cathy Colvin, president of the Albuquerque realtors board. Booms do roll over, however.

Housing prices in Phoenix, for example, could decline nearly 20% over the next 51/2 years, according to Moody's Economy.com. So even if prices are still rising in your market, you'll want to make decisions with an eye to holding on to as much of your equity as possible once the easy gains have been made.

Go Where Land Is Scarce

Certain neighborhoods appreciate faster than others. In Albuquerque, expansion to the north, south and east is restricted by mountains, Indian reservations and an Air Force base. This helps explain why the little remaining land in already developed areas has increased in value more than some of the new developments to the west, says David Murphy, publisher of SalesTraq of New Mexico.

Consider the West River Valley, a small, highly coveted locale. It backs up to the Rio Grande and feels like the country, yet it's five minutes from a major mall.

Robert and Heather Drager bought an acre there seven years ago. Still in their twenties at the time, they couldn't afford to build a house. So for four years they lived with their parents and house-sat for friends to save money.

"Obviously, we really wanted this neighborhood," says Rob.

In total they paid about $250,000 for their land and 2,000-square-foot house, about $100,000 more than they would have shelled out in Rio Rancho, a fast-growing community to the west.

The sacrifice paid off. The Dragers' area has appreciated at more than double the rate of Rio Rancho.

Today they wouldn't consider selling for less than $450,000, an 80% gain.

Other hot neighborhoods these days: city centers. Young professionals and baby boomers with suddenly empty nests are moving to downtown areas, lifting real estate values in the process.

It's a phenomenon that's hardly unique to Albuquerque; it's happening in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Cleveland as well.

Prices in Albuquerque's Nob Hill area have jumped about 30% since 2004, and that section of town was rising even when the rest of the market was flat a few years ago, according to local agent Linda DeVlieg.

"This neighborhood is walking distance from shopping areas, restaurants and night life -- even my work," says clothing boutique owner Emma Del Frate, 39, who's listing her Nob Hill home for $335,000 and has bought a larger, $500,000 house around the corner.

Finding the house proved difficult. Emma and her husband Victor, 38, searched the area for a year and a half with no luck.

So they got inventive. In December 2004 they left a note on the front door of a house that looked attractive, asking the owners to call if they ever wanted to sell. The following summer they did. By year's end, the Del Frates were in serious negotiations.

The house needs some updating, but the couple say they'll be conservative when it comes to renovating - no ripping out walls and relocating rooms.

Which leads to a second strategy:

Don't Go Crazy When You're Remodeling

"Even in a rising market, you actually can over-remodel," says Everett Collier, president of the remodeling industry's trade group.

Consider kitchens, which give one of the highest returns. According to Remodeling magazine, the average price for a minor kitchen remodel is $15,000. You recoup 99% of the cost at sale. When the price tag climbs to $82,000 for a high-end remodeling job, your return drops to 85% of the cost.

That's why Janine Archibeck and her husband Michael opted to work with their existing floor plan. "A larger master bathroom would have been nice," says Janine of her 3,700-square-foot home in Albuquerque's Near Northeast Heights area. But not for the price: at least $25,000.

Janine, 38, and Michael, 39, were certainly willing to invest in their architect-designed 1961 home, which they bought in 2002 for $320,000. In addition to replacing fixtures and appliances, and adding glass to brighten the place, the couple turned their backyard into a paradise that features a heated pool, a pool house and a canopy that shades a sitting area near the outdoor fireplace and grill.

What they didn't do, says Janine, was knock down structural walls. "All the bathrooms are in the same place," she says. "We didn't have to move any plumbing."

The Archibecks spent $190,000 on interior renovations and could easily have spent twice that had they decided to expand the home's footprint, says their architect, Jon Anderson. Today the home is worth at least $750,000.

The moral: Build a breakfast area or an apartment-size bathroom because you want one, not because you figure that in a fast-rising market, the more you spend the more you'll make. The boom will fade, and then your gains will depend on how wisely, not how much, you invested.
