Florida REO Foreclosure Sales Restarted by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
REO selling agents for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been given the go ahead to restart transactions that had been suspended due to potential problems with the legal paperwork, known as the "Robo-signer" scandal. The GSEs were forced to temporarily halt the sale of certain properties two months ago when news surfaced that some of the nation’s largest servicers – including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and GMAC Mortgage – had been employing robo-signers who failed to comply with clearly defined state laws when handling foreclosure documentation.
From DSNews:
The flawed casework from servicers and legal firms has raised questions about the validity of some foreclosure actions and the legitimacy of title ownership in the sale of repossessed homes.
Now that most of the servicers at the center of the paperwork mess have completed a large chunk of their case reviews and found no evidence of improper foreclosures, Fannie and Freddie are moving to proceed with foreclosures and REO sales as customary.
In a memo last week, Fannie Mae told its REO selling agents to “proceed with scheduling and holding the closings” and to direct matters to the appropriate staff “if a title issue arises with respect to the potential defect of an affidavit used in the underlying foreclosure.”
Freddie Mac said in its own memo that agents should “resume all normal sales activity.” The GSE reaffirmed that it will “resume marketing, sales, and disposing of assets previously placed ‘on hold.’”
As of September 30, Fannie Mae’s inventory of single-family REO properties stood at 166,787. Freddie Mac’s REO inventory totaled 74,897 homes at the end of September. Together, the two GSEs hold about a quarter of all bank-owned residential properties in the United States.

October Homes Sales in Florida Down, Foreclosures and Short Sales Still Dominate the Market
October 2010 home sales are down from 2009 for most of the country. Most areas of Florida also saw decreases in home sales. A number of reasons were cited, including the boost in 2009 from the home buyer tax credit, and new stricter mortgage lending guidelines.
Interestingly, nationwide 29% of homes sold for cash and 34% were distress sales, including foreclosures and short sales, as investors line up to buyer distress properties at low prices. New Fannie Mae mortgage qualifying guidelines may keep many potential home buyers out of the market, putting further downward pressure on home prices.
If you have any questions regarding the Florida market, including the West Palm Beach area, please call Forbes Realty of South Florida at 561-337-4810 or email Rodney Forbes at Rodney@ForbesRealtyOnline.com
There is also much more on foreclosures and short sales at our South Florida Real Estate Blog.
