    Goodbye to Square Feet
    10/28/2008 1:24 AM
    I had a couple of things lined up to possibly blog about earlier today — the impending rollback of jumbo-conforming mortgage rates, national home sales and such — but instead I’m here to tell you that the Mercury News is pulling the plug on my blog, Square Feet. It’s been decided by our editors that [......Read More
     
    LIBOR: A programming language? A term of insult? Oh, a mortgage rate index, of course.
    10/23/2008 7:33 PM
    Vote for one. LIBOR stands for: 1) Lending Is Becoming Outrageously Restrictive 2) Liberty Invites Behavior Of Recklessness 3) London Inter Bank Offering Rate Alas, number three, the boring option, is correct. (But I’m really fond of the other two options — when they kick me out of the journalism business someday, maybe I can write for...Read More
     
    Uncertainty’s effect on the housing market, and a contrary example
    10/22/2008 5:49 PM
    I think it was early September that I wrote an article in which a number of real estate market-observers theorized that Silicon Valley might see pretty healthy home sales in early fall this year, thanks to fairly low interest rates, and prices that had dropped enough to attract formerly reluctant buyers. But then Wall Street [......Read More
     
    Mortgage restructuring workshops: Nationwide and effective, organizer says
    10/17/2008 8:07 PM
    The Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America is holding workshops tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 18) in 38 cities across the country to get borrowers who can’t afford their mortgages into what NACA says is an effective program to get the loans restructured with low interest rates that allow borrowers to stay in their homes. One of these works...Read More
     
    Searches for San Jose real estate up 74 percent, Realtor.com says

    Well, fewer people may be buying property in San Jose this year than last, but the number of people thinking about buying here appears to be way up, according to data about online property searches on Realtor.com. In a press release today, Realtor.com, which is the official web site of the National Association of Realtors, [......Read More
     
    Give the Treasury Department some advice on “troubled assets”
    10/15/2008 1:55 PM
    If you’ve been craving an opportunity to give the U.S. Treasury a few choice pieces of advice on how you would handle things if you were running the show, now is your moment. The government is seeking public comment on how to structure an insurance program as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. TARP, [......Read More
     
    Seeking renters who will share their observations
    10/9/2008 3:47 PM
    I am hoping to talk with a variety of renters who have either recently rented places or are still in the midst of seeking new places to rent. I want to hear about their experiences looking for new housing, how competitive they found the market, how much rent they agreed to pay or hope to [......Read More
     
    Fed rate cut didn’t help mortgage rates this time
    10/8/2008 7:38 PM
    As most of you astute Square Feet readers surely know, when the Federal Reserve suggests rate cuts for short-term interest rates, as it did today, those decreases have no direct effect on the direction of long-term mortgage rates (such as rates for the 30-year loan). But sometimes, if the rate cut comes as a surprise, [......Read More
     
    Foreclosure resources, revisited; and one LOL voice mail on property assessments (you didn’t know taxes were funny?)
    10/8/2008 3:43 PM
    Last week I worked on a piece about the many critics that say the bailout bill passed last week did not do enough to help homeowners. In the printed version, the resource box, listing numbers to call for help in avoiding foreclosure, was left out. I’ll paste in the text of it here; spread it [......Read More
     
    Will the bailout help reverse the foreclosure trend?
    10/1/2008 1:28 PM
    Many people are going to be glued to their computers, radios and TVs later today to hear how the U.S. Senate votes on the revised Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (otherwise known as the “bailout”) and to get updates on expectations about how a new vote in the House of Representatives will go. (News reports say [......Read More
