Red Carpet Winners, Short Sales and Oppenheim Law’s March Real Estate Workshop

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

Join Florida Foreclosure Defense and Short Sale Attorney Roy Oppenheim March 9th at 6 PM.

“Not a single financial executive has gone to jail”…that is how Producer Charles Ferguson rocked the Oscars by starting his acceptance speech for winning best feature documentary for ”Inside Job,” a film about the 2008 financial system meltdown. How appropriate.

Meanwhile, Florida real estate is no red carpet winner when it comes to the housing market. Oppenheim Law announces its real estate webinar streaming live Wednesday March 9th at 6 pm, designed to help Florida homeowners use today’s economic conditions to their advantage and fashion their own bailouts.

In this timely workshop, Oppenheim shares fresh insights, including:

How the rising price of oil will affect the American job market, and in turn affect the housing market.
What these trends mean for Florida foreclosure defense and how homeowners can use these events to their advantage to engineer and structure a short sale.
The impact that a sluggish start to the national “selling season” will have on a local level.
Why home prices will continue to drop in the months ahead.
And how a double dip recession could impact homeowners in the coming months.

Florida real estate is not immune to the financial system melt down or the recent world events, according to Florida Foreclosure Defense Attorney and Legal Blogger Roy Oppenheim.

As revolutionary tremors continue to spread through the Middle East and actual tremors rocked New Zealand with a 6.3 magnitude earthquake, Oppenheim Law offers insight on how these international events could impact Florida’s real estate market as well as sharing the latest legal trends in foreclosure defense and short sales strategies.

Double Dip Recession? Find out March 9th How World Events Affect Underwater Homeowners

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

As we prepare for Oppenheim Law‘s March 9th Foreclosure and Short Sale Workshop, one thing is clear: Florida real estate is not immune to world events.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting a sluggish start to selling season, typically kicked off by Super Bowl Sunday. Given the volatile international headlines this week, this news hardly comes as a surprise. From revolutionary tremors spreading throughout the Middle East to the actual tremors of Christchurch, New Zealand’s 6.3-magnitude earthquake, the global outlook seems bleak at best.

Here on the home front, rising gas prices fuel unemployment as every 2.5 cent increase in gas prices translate into 25,000 more Americans out of work. To make matters worse, the housing crash may have been even worse than initial estimates have shown.

Economists are discounting the possibility that recent buying momentum will propel GDP growth to the necessary 5-plus percent necessary to sustain job growth. Latest figures are predicting unemployment to stubbornly remain above 9% nationwide until well into 2012 as well as a continued surplus in housing inventory.

Are we seeing the beginning of a double dip recession? Join Oppenheim Law and Weston Title on March 9 to discuss the latest headlines and economic predictions as we navigate month three of the year of the short sale.

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

While the dramatic decrease in foreclosures is temporary, the equally sharp uptick of short sales is not. Why?

As reported in The Wall Street Journal this week, buyers are snapping up short sales in all-cash deals, breathing life into the crippled Florida real estate market. In our monthly real estate workshop last night, foreclosure defenseand real estate attorney Roy Oppenheim pointed out that over half of short sale buyers today pay in cash, versus 13 percent in 2006.

Didn’t make last night’s event? The replay will be available for the next ten days on Oppenheim Law TV.

In the timely workshop, Oppenheim discusses:

How global events and macro economic conditions such as unemployment and the price of gas impact the real estate outlook
How to fashion a personal bailout
How banks define financial hardship
Why banks prefer short sales
The 20-year cycle of the real estate market
Insightful Q&A from the Oppenheim Law chat room

Snow, Egypt, Super Bowl Sunday and the Real Estate Countdown

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

Share|

January is historically a sleepy month stemming from the holiday hangover. But this year the first month of the year closed with a crash of economic, political and severe-weather related events that put the world in a freeze frame.

February started with a continued roar as events continue to unfold. Super Bowl Sunday is notable for two reasons: it is a social escape and also typically marks a turning point in real estate activity.

So what should we expect? For starters, a parade of new foreclosures will flood the market in the coming months as banks get their documents in order. Next, it is safe to say the global “tweet goes on”, as political unrest in the Middle East might just be the new normal as social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook play even bigger roles on the internal stage.

At Oppenheim Law, we are watching the situation closely and sharing new strategies for buying, selling, investing or even walking away from real estate in 2011. Join us for yet another black-swan themed event on Wednesday February 9^th at 6:00 pm for the monthly Short Sale and Foreclosure Real Estate Workshop sponsored by Oppenheim Law and Weston Title via webcast or come in person.
