Individual Anguish and National CatastropheA real estate foreclosure occurs owing to the owner’s continuing lapse in repaying his periodic loan premiums. The lender then seizes the home, intending to auction it to regain the pending mortgage loan amount. The lender could variously be a bank, Sheriff, VA, HUD, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. A foreclosure filing invariably causes considerable misery to the dispossessed homeowners.The individual torment at the loss of a house ultimately snowballs into a national predicament with global ramifications, if the malaise is compounded manifold. This is what the ongoing mortgage crisis in the US illustrates graphically. The micro mortgage error has grown into a macro phenomenon that has warranted federal measures worth billions of dollars seeking to shore up the housing sector.Buying Foreclosed Houses: Different StagesA property foreclosure also signifies a rare chance for an aspiring homebuyer to pick up a splendid house at a terrific discount. The foreclosed homes are usually listed at prices that are between 10 percent and 50 percent less than the prevailing market prices. Besides, the reputed auctioning agencies evoke the buyers’ trust. The auction procedures are also smooth and just. The foreclosed houses involve clear titles and proper documentation. All these factors serve to draw buyers to the foreclosure auctions in huge numbers.You can attempt to buy a foreclosed house in at least the following three different stages. The first is the pre-foreclosure stage or the time that an owner gets a notice of default from the lender. Having learnt of the default notice from the newspaper, you may contact the owner and try to strike a profitable deal. The second stage is the actual auction of the property, where you can pit your bidding skills {and resources} against those of the other interested buyers. The final stage is when a home fails to get bought at the auction. You may subsequently approach the seller for a more amenable and lucrative settlement.The foreclosure auctions represent a rare chance for astute buyers to acquire magnificent properties as well as to make an investment in real estate foreclosure that is likely to reap them rich dividends in due course of time.

Here is something that I read every day that I received from my real estate coach Mike Ferry. This will keep me on track to have the best 4th Quarter of my life and start 2009 off to a great start. We all know in real estate what you do today will have an impact on tomorrows results.

1. Four times a day take 15-minutes and work on the mindset that this will be your best 4th Quarter in history. This should include three or four strong affirmations to assist you.

2. Set a higher than normal goal for listings and sales in the 4th quarter. Many agents quit because they feel they’ve already accomplished what they could for the year. Remember great agents work 11 months, not eight.

3. If for any reason you’re way off your goal for 2008…don’t mentally quit before you physically quit…keep working. It’s common for agents to give up when they’re behind and start preparing for January when you have 90 days to build your foundation and do additional deals for 2008.

4. Remember the power of momentum. Having things work inyour favor and continuing to have them work in your favor is positive momentum. Stopping working is also momentum ?just the wrong momentum.

5. Identify the source of each deal you?ve done this year (listings and sales) and see who will give you another referral or will do another deal. Remember, the key is to duplicate your business.

6.Create a schedule for the remaining three months of the year? be specific ? allow for days off for shopping, holidays

7. Everyone wants to take time off over the holidays ? the holidays are generally four days off over Thanksgiving and four to six days off over Christmas and New Year?s ? the rest of the time off is just screwing around. Remember your competition will stop working effective now and you will be the only one working, which enhances your chances. So get over taking time off.

8.Remember October 31st, Halloween, is not the beginning of the holiday season and is not a holiday you should be taking off ? nor is it the end of the year. For some reason Real Estate people like to start their holiday seasons early. Remember if you had a real job you?d be working every day except a few days that your employer would give you off. You be the employer.

9. Set a goal today for the number of listings you want to have in inventory on January 1st adn the number of closings you want to have in both January and February (remember cash flow is important). This is the easiest way to keep momentum going and give you a huge boost to start the year.

10. Decide on how much listing appointments you want to have in January. Remember the only way to get those appointments is to prospect every day, starting today.

11. We must maintain mindset that people are going to be buying and selling Real Estate in the 4th Quarter. The market always continues…only the agents stop. Remember this affirmation…”I am the best agent to handle this transaction.”

12. Make a list of all the normal holiday rejections you will receive and then start working on the answers now. The worst case scenario is that you start creating a huge lead source for January.

13.Remember if 95% of the Agents quit working by November 1st and you continue working, the business will always come to you. ?Be the last man standing.?

14. Contact your past clients and center of influence now. Ask them for 4th Quarter referrals.

15. Determine immediately the average number of hours you?ve prospected for the year and the average number of contacts per day you?ve made for the year ? then add 30% to those numbers for the 4th Quarter and you?ll win the game.

16. Start today working on the mindset that the 1st Quarter of 2009 will be your best 1st Quarter ever. It will be because you?re willing to use points 1 ? 15 of this report.

17. Since it?s harder to remain focused during October, November, and December ? but the payoff is bigger than you think. Remember also that the distractions of Christmas parties, other Agents not wanting you to work are monumental ? do not let this happen to you.

18. Write a three month wish list as to what you want for your family and yourself for Christmas ? think big.

Goa reminds us of beaches, lush forested hills, shiny sand, swaying coconut tress, and charming faces enjoying and partying. The magnificent scenic beauty coupled with the architectural splendors of temples, churches and old houses have made Goa a favorite destination of millions of travelers around the world. But then, this state is much more than just beaches and sea. Goa has a soul that is rooted deep into unique history, rich culture and some of the prettiest natural sceneries that only India can offer. Since years, Goa has been attracting tourists from all over the world but now this state a lot more to boast about. The real estate market of Goa is anticipated to grow by leaps and bounds in the coming times. Here, the market is shinning as more and more realtors are coming up with various attractive projects. Realtors are confident to get lucrative yields from this state. Undoubtedly, everyone tries to opt for sites that are situated strategically, afford scenic surroundings and possess great potential to yield high returns. And, availability of such locations provides excellent investment prospects to investors. So, a lot of investors consider Goa as the perfect choice for property investment.Everyone knows that land rates in Goa are flying high. Yet, buying a property in Goa is not as hard as it is buying in metros or other big cities. The list of the famous real estate developers developing properties in Goa includes Gera Developers, Parsvanath, DLF and many more big players, who are coming up with offices cum shopping malls in Goa. These developers aim not only to cash in on the sprawling beach attraction of the state for higher returns but also plan to target a huge market that includes both national and international buyers. These real estate developers are looking to provide a value-add on the basic amenities of everyday life-style to buyers. All those who are planning to buy a property in Goa, a whole package of attractive amenities will be thrown open to them. Real estate builders in Goa are currently looking to provide basic amenities like a good pressured central overhead tank to facilitate water supply. The focus is also on modern kitchens as well, as a good kitchen has the capacity to attract all the more buyers. These kitchens are decked with granite cooking platform with one stainless steel sink, garbage crusher below the sink and hot / cold water mixer. Kitchen cabinet, cooking range, chimney, fridge or even a microwave is an added value. With developers like Gera, Parsvnath and DLF focusing on the Goa property market, the real estate market of Goa is, undoubtedly, transforming fast.

The real estate developers in Goa not only aim at domestic buyers but also try to tap foreign and NRI buyers. Although, foreign ownership of real estate is, technically, not allowed in Goa, many foreigners have somehow managed to purchase apartments, villas, penthouses and holiday homes in the state. However, the state government is now rising to this challenge and is taking measures to intervene in such illegal activities.

Price Details of the property market of Goa

Realty prices in North Goa like Dona Paula and Miramar are around Rs 25,000-30,000 per sq m, up from Rs 15,000 a sq m a year earlier.

While, in South Goa, around the beach belt comprising Benaulim, Colva, Majorda the rate is about Rs 20,000 per square meter, more than the price band of Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 a sq m a year earlier.

Looking at the rate at which property prices are rising, it is quite likely that Goa could be going Mumbai’s way.

Prices in metros:

Prices of properties available near sea-side are not over the top.

As per a survey, built up property prices in elite locations of Mumbai and Delhi has touched Rs 2.35 lakhs and Rs 2.10 lakhs per sq m respectively.

In Bangalore and Chennai, property prices have shot up to Rs 60,000 per sq m while prices in the IT hubs of Hyderabad and Pune range around Rs 40,000 and 52,000 per sq m respectively.

If compared to other cities, buying a property in Goa is a much more practical choice. Though prices are going up in the state, they are still very much within the reach of a normal buyer.
