REO Homes in Northern Nevada: What is an REO Home, Anyway?

First, here is a technical definition of a Northern Nevada REO: Northern Nevada REO properties, also known as Real Estate Owned properties, are a type of property owned by a lender after an unsuccessful sale attempt at foreclosure.
Why doesn’t every property sell at foreclosure (sell on the courthouse steps?)
The lender typically sets the opening bid at a foreclosure auction for at least the outstanding loan amount. If the outstanding loan amount is more than the Northern Nevada home is worth, then no bids are placed, and the auction sale is unsuccessful. This results in the ownership of the home reverting back to the bank involuntarily, where it becomes another asset in the banks REO (Real Estate Owned) portfolio.
How does a home become a Northern Nevada REO?

Usually, the path to REO begins with a homeowner in financial distress. The Northern Nevada homeowner may have had a loss of income, experienced a layoff, a divorce, a major medical issue where many bills have accumulated, or even a death of a spouse. In some cases, some homeowners who owe so much more than their home is worth because of the timing when they bought, even if they do not have a financial hardship, they stop making payments on the home. This is referred to as a strategic default.
Once the homeowner stops making their mortgage payments, the home goes into a pre-foreclosure status with the bank. This is the time that the homeowner can negotiate several ways to bring the loan back into good standing, and thus “cure the default”. The ways a Northern Nevada homeowner can cure their default are:
- Forbearance. If the loss of income is temporary, meaning the homeowner lost their job but found a new one, the bank may negotiate a forbearance. This means they will postpone the foreclosure action to give the borrower time to make up the missing payments. Depending on the lender, this can be done several ways. Sometimes the missed payments are tacked onto the end of the loan, sometimes they are spread over several months payments. The forbearance available depends on the specifics of the Northern Nevada homeowner’s situation and the lender options available.
- Loan Modification. If the loss of income is long term, the bank may negotiate a loan modification. A loan modification is where the borrower submits detailed financial information, including pay stubs, tax returns, a hardship letter, and other financial documentation, and the bank evaluates the Northern Nevada homeowner’s ability to pay. The government is now sponsoring the Making Home Affordable Program and the bank can receive incentives for completing a loan modification. The end result is the entire loan is recast, taking the principal owed, changing the interest rate, possibly changing the term of the loan, and completely reworking the loan so that the Northern Nevada homeowner has an opportunity to stay in their home with a payment they can afford that is acceptable to the bank.
- Short Sale. If the Northern Nevada homeowner is not eligible for a loan modification for any reason, the homeowner can attempt a short sale. A short sale is when the seller sells the house for less than the seller owes the bank(s), including the costs to sell the home. The entire Northern Nevada short sale process is lengthy, and in order to successfully complete a short sale, the seller must have a valid financial hardship.
- If none of these options are successful, a Notice of Sale is filed, and the home is attempted to be sold on the Northern Nevada courthouse steps at a foreclosure auction.
The home belongs to the bank. Now what?
Once a bank takes ownership of a Northern Nevada home, they retain a group of professionals to determine the home’s status. There is a series of events that occur, including an occupancy status, a rekeying of the locks to secure the home, a trash out if belongings were left behind, and a Cash for Keys negotiation if people are still living in the home to aid them in moving out. All these things occur with the intent to put the Northern Nevada bank-owned home (REO) on the market and sell it to remove it from the bank’s portfolio.
In Northern Nevada, most banks work with Asset Managers who employ established REO real estate agents to list and sell their properties. Many of these homes have deferred maintenance issues, and if your goal is to buy a Northern Nevada REO, inspections are strenuously encouraged. The bank may be unwilling to make repairs. It’s important to find this out up front because certain loan programs will not lend on a home with many repairs to be made.
The distinct advantage to buying a Northern Nevada REO relates to price. When banks have REO homes in their portfolios, they pay great attention to price. Often, REO homes are priced for a relatively quick sale, and they are priced lower than the other homes listed for sale in the surrounding area.

Short Sales in Northern Nevada: What Is A Short Sale, Exactly?
First, here is the technical definition of a Northern Nevada Short Sale: A short sale occurs when a seller sells a property that has encumbrances, together with closing costs and commissions from the sale, for less than the seller owes to the lender(s).
Clear as mud?
Here’s a simplified definition: A short sale is when the seller sells the house for less than the seller owes to the bank, including the costs to sell the home.
Why would a Northern Nevada homeowner choose to do a short sale? A short sale can help homeowners avoid further mortgage collection activity or foreclosure.
In order to qualify for a Short Sale, it is very important that the prospective seller / homeowner be prepared to have a candid discussion with his or her real estate professional as to how the financial distress occurred. The REALTOR® will need to be able to validate the financial hardship on behalf of the seller in order to complete a successful short sale.
As a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) and a Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR) I have the skills, knowledge and experience to successfully negotiate Northern Nevada short sales. If you are considering listing your home as a short sale, it is important that you select a knowledgeable agent. Your future success as a short sale seller depends on it, and a foreclosure could hang in the balance and ultimately occur if your agent does not understand the process.

When I list short sales, I collect a great deal of documentation up front at the time of the listing to begin work on the short sale package I will ultimately submit to the lender(s) once I have an offer on your home.
This initial list of documents is just the listing documents, regardless of whether you are a short sale seller or not:
- Duties Owed By A Nevada Licensee and Consent To Act
- Exclusive Listing Agreement
- Sellers Real Property Disclosure Form
- Disclosure Regarding Homeowner’s Insurance Claims
- Mold, Fungal & Pet Disclosures & Waiver and Flood Disclosure
- MLS Residential Listing Input Form
- Residential Disclosure Guide Acknowledgment Page
If you are a Northern Nevada short sale seller, I will also want to gather these documents:
- Authorization to Release Information (this allows me to negotiate with the bank on your behalf)
- Financial Information Worksheet (documents your financial situation)
- Hardship Letter (explains why you are unable to pay the mortgage)
- Last 2 months checking account statements
- Last 2 paystubs for all borrowers
- Last 2 years tax returns including W-2s
- Last 2 months mortgage statements for all mortgages

The timeline to obtain short sale approval and close a short sale is dependent upon where the seller is in the Default Process. It is best if you know you need to short sell your home and you have a valid hardship that you begin the process before the Notice of Default is filed. Many banks are inundated with short sale applications, and the process can be lengthy and frustrating. The more time you can provide to your REALTOR® to complete the sale, the better off you will be.
Once an offer is submitted, the REALTOR® will assemble the short sale package including all the documentation above, along with a Competitive Market Analysis showing the prices of the most recent sales, along with a decline of value letter. Often, additional market statistics are also included. The package can very easily swell to 75-100 pages of documentation. It is important to remember that the sale of the home must be an “arms length transaction”.This means the property may not be sold to anyone the seller has a close personal or business relationship with including family, friends or neighbors.
Once the documentation is submitted to all lenders, the application is assigned to a negotiator who typically orders a BPO. A BPO is an acronym for Broker Price Opinion. A Broker Price Opinion is a real estate agent’s valuation of the property. For Northern Nevada short sales, the BPOs ordered will be interior – meaning the agent will need to come inside the home and photo document the home’s condition for the lender(s). The lender(s) may also order full blown appraisals from licensed Northern Nevada appraisers.
After they have reviewed the documentation and validated the value of the home, depending on the individual circumstances, short sale decision letters will be issued. In the case of two lenders, or mortgage insurance, this process takes longer.
If there is only one lender and short sale approval is granted, they typically are good for 30 days, but the window can be shorter. If there are two lenders, the first lender will wait for the second to approve the short sale. Often a negotiation occurs between the first and the second with the first agreeing to divert some of the funds from the sale of the home to the second. Once the first and second agree on an amount the second will accept to release their interest in the property, the first will work on their short sale approval. Each will issue a letter with specific terms at the time they approve the short sale.
If there is mortgage insurance (either purchased by the current owner at the time they bought the home, or put in place by the lender at some time afterward), the application must then also be submitted to the Mortgage Insurance Company(MI Company) for approval. The first lender will coordinate the submission of documentation to the MI Company and their approval could take another 10 business days. It is important to note that any one of the lenders or the MI Company not approving the short sale can derail the transaction.

Once approval is obtained from all parties, the buyer needs to act quickly to seek their loan approval. Another appraisal will be completed for the benefit of the buyer’s lender, and then all parties can move to closing.
What happens to the amount between what you owe the bank and what your home sells for?
There are two answers to this question, and we’ve found often this depends on whether you have one or two lenders.
Our experience has been that first position lenders have been forgiving the difference between the amount received and the amount owed. Keep in mind that lenders are not required to forgive this difference, and if your short sale approval letter does not specifically state that your lender is forgiving the debt, it may not be forgiven.
If you have two loans on your property, depending on the balance of the second mortgage and the situation surrounding how your second mortgage was obtained (cash out to pay credit cards or true second mortgage) how the lender reacts to the short sale has been case by case. Again, read the short sale approval letter. It will clearly state if the lender is simply releasing their interest in the property or whether they are forgiving the debt.
It is also important to note that being a short sale seller can have negative impact on your credit report. It is also not your only option. You can contact your lender and see if you qualify for a loan modification, or you can negotiate a deed in lieu of foreclosure. It is important that you weigh all your options and we recommend you consult a Northern Nevada attorney to clearly understand all the options open to you. If you employ an attorney during your short sale, ask him or her up front if they will submit their bill to escrow to be paid at the time of closing. This way you can get the legal advice you need without paying up front for it during a time of financial distress.
If you are a homeowner in Northern Nevada and you have experienced a reduction in pay, loss of job, death, divorce, medical expenses due to illness, and can no longer afford to make your mortgage payments, there is help and there are options. The worst thing you can do is – do nothing.
Call us today – we are here to help you consider all your options and decide the best path back to financial well being for you and your family.
This article is not all-inclusive and many aspects of short sales are specific to each homeowner situation. If you are a Gardnerville, Minden, Carson City, Reno, Sparks or Dayton homeowner and you are in financial distress, there is help available. Call me and I will be glad to sit down with you – confidentially – and go over your situation specifics and assist you in determining if you are eligible for a short sale.

Dayton NV Homes – Homes Sold in December 2009

Only 16 homes closed escrow in the Dayton Valley in December 2009, compared to 27 sales in November, and 13 sales in December 2008.
The Dayton Valley Nevada real estate market ended the year with 308 sales for all of 2009, substantially higher than the 176 sales in all of 2008. Indicators show that our market has definitively moved through the low point in sales volume. Basic economic models tell us that when sales volume improves and supply diminishes, price appreciation typically follows. We’ll continue to watch 2010 trends closely to see if this indeed is the case in the Dayton Valley.
Here are the statistics for Dayton Nevada Homes Sold in December 2009:
- 16 homes sold
- Median asking price is $129,900
- Median selling price is $127,450
- Median days on market is 92
While volume may have been lower than in previous months, that’s not too particularly surprising. The real estate market often enters a ‘quiet period’ between Thanksgiving and Superbowl Sunday when people focusing their attention on the holidays and traveling to see family over winter break.
So what is the absorption rate for the Dayton Valley?
- There are 109 homes on the market as of 1/8/10
- 16 homes sold in October
- 109/16 = 6.8 months of inventory
The absorption rate fluctuated this cycle because of the decrease in the number of closed escrows during December. Look to the absorption rate to start trending back down in January and be back below 4 months in February if inventory levels remain constant. Dayton’s enduring affordability over neighboring Carson City, Reno, Sparks or the Carson Valley continues to be a big draw for homebuyers.
Of the 109 homes on the market, 27 are bank owned and 35 are short sales.The number of homes on the market continues to hold steady, however over 56% of the market is distressed. So, the message with Dayton is loud and clear: If you’re looking to buy in Dayton, it’s likely a distress sale and will either be a while to get escrow closed, or may have deferred maintenance and you’ll need to do some repairs if it’s bank-owned. However, the market has never been lower and you can buy a fabulous home for less than it costs to build.
