An apostille is a special seal applied by an authority to certify that a document is a true copy of an original. Apostilles are available in countries, which signed the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization of Foreign Public Documents, popularly known as The Hague Convention. This convention, created in 1961, replaces the time consuming chain certification process used so far, where you had to go to four different authorities to get a document certified.

An apostille can be used whenever a copy of an official document from another country is needed. For example for international marriages, adoptions, inheritance, but also for plain contracts. The apostille is an official certification that the document is a true copy of the original. It does not certify that the original document's content is correct

Foreclosure information, sales, properties auctions.

A total of 4,991 new and resale houses and condos sold in the nine-county Bay Area last month. That was up 0.5 percent from 4,966 in January but down 0.9 percent from 5,035 in February 2010, according to San Diego-based DataQuick Information Systems.

Distressed sales – the combination of sales of foreclosed homes and “short sales” – accounted for just over half of the Bay Area’s resale market last month.

Mortgages were least likely to go into default in San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo counties. The probability was highest in Madera, San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties. Those patterns are consistent with the historical norm.

At formal foreclosure auctions held statewide last quarter, an estimated 22.1 percent of the foreclosed properties were bought by investors or others who don't appear to be lender or government entities. That was down from 22.7 percent the previous quarter and 25.0 percent a year ago, DataQuick

First-time buyers turn fussy about ‘move-in ready’ homes

First-time buyers turn fussy about ‘move-in ready’ homes
leave a comment »

Stricter loan requirements and cable TV have helped make purchasers extra picky, experts say.

Picky, picky, picky. Are today’s first-time home buyers passing up great deals because they insist on flawless “move-in ready” houses requiring little or no changes — even at the starter-home price levels at which shoppers traditionally have been willing to factor future fix-ups and renovations into their offers?

Or are they simply reflecting market realities? They see record inventories of houses sitting unsold, they have plenty to choose from, and they may not have the money, time or inclination to do fix-ups after making the purchase.

Large numbers of real estate agents see this as a significant and perplexing issue that’s having a negative effect on the housing recovery. New research suggests they may be on to something. A survey by Coldwell Banker Real Estate of 300 first-time buyers found that 87% said “finding a move-in ready home is important.” .

Zillow, the Seattle-based online real estate research and data company, suggests any shift by consumers toward greater attention to home details may be an inevitable byproduct of today’s higher down payment minimums and more stringent loan qualification requirements.
