This extends the mortgage foreclosure moratorium the Bank &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/real-estate/bank-of-america-joins-the-foreclosure-delay-brigade/19657910/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';color:black;font-size:12pt;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none;"&gt;initiated in 23 states earlier this month&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';color:black;font-size:12pt;"&gt;. This moratorium began with other financial such as Ally Bank subsidiary GMAC Mortgage and JPMorgan Chase after it came to light that employees were signing off on foreclosure documents without verifying all the information contained in the documents that require court approval to foreclose on properties.&amp;nbsp; It is anticipated that most major financial institutions will follow suit and suspend foreclosure proceedings at least temporarily.&amp;nbsp; This may be good news for individuals in foreclosure and open a window of opportunity to continue modification or short sale transactions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illinois is among the 23 states included in the initial moratorium among these institutions.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The states include: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';color:black;font-size:12pt;"&gt;Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';color:black;font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';color:black;font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:12pt;"&gt;Ironically, a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';color:black;font-size:12pt;"&gt; bill that would make it more difficult to challenge the legality of documents related to foreclosures has passed Congress and is awaiting President Barack Obama&amp;#39;s signature. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bill was passed through Congress with minimal debate, Reuters reported. It would require courts to accept as valid document notarizations made out of state, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6955YX20101006"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';color:blue;font-size:12pt;"&gt;Reuters said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';color:black;font-size:12pt;"&gt;That would make it more difficult to challenge the authenticity of documents related to foreclosures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.smsrealestate.info/aggbug.aspx?PostID=771617" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/Real+Estate/default.aspx">Real Estate</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/illinois/default.aspx">illinois</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/bank+of+america/default.aspx">bank of america</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/moratorium/default.aspx">moratorium</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/foreclosure/default.aspx">foreclosure</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/president+obama/default.aspx">president obama</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/chase/default.aspx">chase</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/short+sale/default.aspx">short sale</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/modification/default.aspx">modification</category></item><item><title>Price Reduced on 117 E 92nd Street in West Chesterfield</title><link>http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/2010/06/03/5682e376a74b4693944c51805c79c0da.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jun 2010 11:59:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">74dc4ce4-deae-425c-b28c-73e0e70693cd:687051</guid><dc:creator>Sheila M.

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS&amp;reg; has been calling for a change in policy and today was successful!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;&amp;ldquo;We all want to enable FHA consumers to access the home buyer tax credit funds when they close on their home loans so that the cash can be used as a down payment,&amp;rdquo; Donovan says. His remarks came in an address to several thousand REALTORS&amp;reg; gathered Tuesday at &amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.realtor.org/midyear.nsf/realsummit?openpage" target="new"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';text-decoration:none;text-underline:none;"&gt;The Real Estate Summit: Advancing the U.S. Economy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;,&amp;quot; in Washington, D.C..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;He says FHA&amp;rsquo;s approved lenders will be permitted to &amp;ldquo;monetize&amp;rdquo; the tax credit through short-term low-interest rate bridge loans. This will allow eligible home buyers to access the funds immediately at the closing table.&amp;nbsp; The funds will need to be repaid when received from tax return filings in 2010.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.smsrealestate.info/aggbug.aspx?PostID=467316" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/Real+Estate/default.aspx">Real Estate</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/Market+Conditions/default.aspx">Market Conditions</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/Industry/default.aspx">Industry</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/Buyer+Information/default.aspx">Buyer Information</category><category domain="http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/tags/1st+Time+Home+buyer+Tax+Credit/default.aspx">1st Time Home buyer Tax Credit</category></item><item><title>4-Level Split For Sale in Cook County</title><link>http://www.smsrealestate.info/blogs/sheila_m_wilkinson-sanders/archive/2009/05/06/ccd45fc661104c509130464184f95467.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2009 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">74dc4ce4-deae-425c-b28c-73e0e70693cd:467305</guid><dc:creator>Sheila M.
