HVCC is a Disaster! Sign Petition Today

HVCC (Home Valuation Code of Conduct) is turning out to be costing buyers hundreds of dollars in additional fees and closing costs (average of over $700) and the appraisal management companies are forcing good appraisers to leave the industry and costing thousands in home values and lost deals! I encourage each of you to view for yourself what this BAD law is producing, sign the petition and then contact your government representatives to vote yes on the House Bill.

Price Reductions Average 10.4%

Real estate research site Trulia.com says 24.6 percent of current homes on the market in the United States as of July 1, have had at least one price cut, totaling $27.1 billion in reductions.
The average price-reduced home has had a 10.4 percent reduction, down slightly from 10.6 percent as of June 1. Some areas appear to be stabilizing quickly with the overall number and percentage of price reductions declining, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.
“All real estate is local and we’re seeing glimmers of hope as price stabilization occurs in major cities across the nation, including some of the earliest hit cities that have experienced huge declines in the past few years,” says Trulia CEO Pete Flint.
The top-10 cities with the most price reductions as of July 1 are:

1. Jacksonville, Fla., 39 percent
