It was 2006 when Emma Sanchez was filing paperwork to be legalized in the U.S when she had to go to an appointment with immigration authorities at the U.S Consulate in Cuidad Juarez. And what happened next may have been the worst moment of her life. “Authorities told her she would be prohibited from returning home from Vista for 10 years, despite the fact that Paulsen, 51, is a U.S citizen and a Marine veteran” (Tatiana Sanchez). Situations similar to Emma Sanchez has happened before-many times in fact. According to the article “Deported Mothers Make New Lives in Tijuana Separated families part of the debate over U.S immigration” by Tatiana Sanchez, “In the first half of 2014, U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 22,088 unauthorized

In these days of economic upheaval, rising unemployment, increasing bankruptcies, and car and credit card loan defaults, perhaps nothing is more frightening than the rising rates of home foreclosures. Owning a home has long been considered the cornerstone of the Great American Dream, and now for many that dream has turned into a nightmare, from which there seems no escape. The combination of predatory lending practices and consumers who have for to long lived beyond their means has created an escalating problem. Unfortunately, there are no easy answers.

Because of the safe environment, bucolic streets and good schools, home prices are rapidly rising in the area. In just the last year, real estate prices advanced by $72,750. Currently, home buyers can expect to pay a median price of $653,750. While a two-bedroom receives an asking price of $495,000, the median three-bedroom property fetches a sales price of $597,500. Meanwhile, a four-bedroom home receives a sales price of $675,000. In the last

The 2008 housing market meltdown in America created a ripple effect that had a negative impact on multiple real estate and stock markets throughout the world. Also, many people who were investors in the America market have never recovered from this financial disaster. So, one must contemplate how this event could have transpired in a country with such a strong economy with governmental regulations designed to protect the average investor. Nevertheless, it is simple, it took brokers, real estate appraisers, realtors, Wall Street, and mortgage companies combined unethical behavior to allow greed to be his or her guidance in pursuing wealth form unsuspecting new home purchasers who could afford his and her recent purchase, a new house.

buildings are sold, buyers often evict the existing tenants to move in themselves, combine several units, or bring in new tenants at a higher rate. When residents own their homes, they are less vulnerable, and may opt to “cash them in” and move elsewhere. Their options may be limited if there is a regional housing shortage, however, and cash does not always compensate for less tangible losses.

Affordability is a critical factor to consider when it comes to purchasing a home for the first-time. With a strong job market, a first-time home buyer can rest assured that the chances of them keeping their homes without defaulting on the loan is high. In particular, foreclosure rates have remained the same in Durham compared to last year, at only one percent. With average home prices increasing and more people coming to Durham, an unchanged foreclosure rate speaks to the strength of Durham’s economy.

The years preceding the market melt down, homeownerships were painted as an American dream in a hyped fashion instead of a responsible investment. The demand for homeownership and immediate profit drove up prices in an unhealthy rate, and fueled a competition among buyers to use real estate as a vehicle to make quick money. That silently destroyed the American dream of homeownership. The competition spread to financial institutions to creatively fit unqualified borrowers into homes and finance over leveraged investors. The biggest debt an individual ever taken on their life time came with the least amount of information, if any. The entire real estate became a pure transaction number, from how much will the buyer able to sell the home they have yet to purchase to how much can real estate professionals make on the deal, to how quickly it can be closed. We saw an enormous amount of buyers not knowing what type of loan programs they just obtained and how it’ll play out through the life of the loan. We heard buyers fascinated in how easy it is to obtain a mortgage loan and the expectation that no one should be denied. The other interesting component is the lack of qualified professional involved in the

At $236,000, the average sales price of a home in the United States is now above what it was in 2006. Prices in 14 of the 100 largest metropolitan markets in the country are now above their historical averages. Look a little deeper, however, and there are reasonable explanations for the spike in prices. Of the 14 metropolitan markets mentioned above, six are in Texas, which recently experienced a huge oil boom. Texas may serve as a microcosm for what’s happening in the rest of the country.

I believe Ms. Brock response to Angela was appropriate in the sense that she went to find her and check on her, but she may have come off a little harsh when questioning Angela about her outfit choice. I understand that Angela needed to grasp the concept that the outfit she chose to wear was inappropriate, but I believe Angela already realized this due to her peer’s reactions. I believe if Ms. Brock would have phrased her question differently it would have been more effected, and Angela may have opened up to her.

Last week we received a number of reports related to housing. The Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index for June rose to 4.50 percent as compared to May’s reading of 4.40 percent. Denver, Colorado was the only city to post double-digit year-over-year growth. The index indicated national home prices grew by five percent year-over-year in June. When comparing increases in home prices and wage increases, America has a serious problem. Wages are increasing on average at about 2.0 percent, while home pricing are over twice the rate, making home affordability harder to achieve.

Real estate offers are made to families who’ve lost everything. Plots are offered half their real market value (Letelier, 2010).

In today 's hot housing market with hundreds of new and pre-owned homes available, it is not as hard to find a dream house as it once was. The trick now is to be able to buy the house - having a good credit rating, adequate loan, and making monthly payments may not be enough. Today 's real estate sellers are looking for better deals, and savvy buyers know just how to entice them to close the deal. These five tricks are easy to implement and can help any eager buyer secure their dream home. Earnest Money For decades, realtors have required an earnest money deposit from prospective buyers to show their honest intentions when making a bid on a house as well as to demonstrate that they do, in fact, have the means to support the purchase. What many buyers don 't realize, however, is that earnest money can be an alluring carrot to lead the seller to a contract. Most home sales require a $1,000 earnest money deposit (the money will eventually make up part of the buyer 's down payment), but choosing a larger figure will catch a seller 's eye. Earnest money is legally binding - if the buyer pulls out of a contract without just cause, they forfeit that money to the seller. By being willing to literally put their money where their mouth is, buyers demonstrate their sincere desire to purchase a home and encourage a seller to accept their bid. Higher Prices Money is a universal language in the world of real estate, and offering a bid higher than the seller 's asking price is a sure
