Todd - I want to buy a Foreclosure!

2011-11-26T07:40:00.001-08:00

I can appreciate your interest in foreclosures. Unfortunately, if there are properties on the internet without the house number in the address, this generally means they are propagated by XxxxxxYyyy. This website aggregates public records data and syndicates it to many Real Estate sites. The business model is to get buyers to pay a monthly fee for the rest of the information needed to identify the houses.
As Shakespeare's work says: Therein lies the rub!
Almost always; these properties are not available for sale. For instance look at the property you mentioned on Avondale. If you click on the detail info, you will see that the transfer date was September 22, “2010”. This was the date of the Sheriff Sale on the courthouse steps. After that Sheriff Sale, the current owner has a 180 day redemption period to pay in full the mortgage and accrued fees. They can also live in the home until the redemption period expires. Generally only the bank will bid to protect their own mortgage secured by the home.
For a buyer or novice investor this is not a viable form of purchase. First – the buyer has no access to the property to preview prior to purchase or within the next 180 days. Second – the purchase can only be made in cash and must be delivered to the Courthouse by the end of the day of the Sheriff Sale. Third – there can be no mortgage placed on the property until the end of the 180 day redemption period. And just for good measure; the new buyer may have to complete the foreclosure and eviction process. Just the highlights of the process; not a complete overview!
So to make a large topic short and incomplete – these homes are not for sale and the website is misleading! This home was listed on the Multiple Listing Service on 4/1/2011 and sold 5/11/2011 for $140,000. Almost all bank owned properties now go to the local MLS marketing service to insure a true market value for the bank and its shareholders. There are currently many bank owned properties in the listings that you view on either www.hjnteam.com or www.homeviewsiouxfalls.com or www.BrandonHomeCenter.com . These are complete compilations of currently available properties.

Kind of long-winded, but I did not want to simply say – “Not an option”.

Spring for a Reliable Sump Pump

2011-02-19T12:18:00.000-08:00

This may be the year. The year for groundwater to hit levels that they have never hit before -- at least in your neighborhood. Following the Spring of 2010; we heard clients say they had lived in homes for 20 years or more and 2010 was the first year to get water in the basement. It is very likely the Spring of 2011 could be the came story.

Now is the time to check on the sump pumps, cords, water hoses and the like. A hour or so now getting these items in order may save days of drying or even pulling carpet and sheetrock. If you need a name of a reliable handyman-- Give me a call and I will get you lined up. Todd Headrick - HJNTeam Real Estate 605-359-5581

Harney Forecast of Real Estate in 2011

2011-01-18T12:47:00.000-08:00

Interesting development regarding the predicted supply of homes forecasted to increase due to more Bank Owned properties entering the market. Has the Sioux Empire seen Bank Owned properties hit the peak? I don't know for sure but we have seen pricing all over the board; from "value priced" to "it's not going to sell". If buyers are looking for properties that need a little TLC, there are plenty to be found. Sometimes these properties are priced correctly and many times too high for the work needed to bring the property to "Owner Occupied" standards.

With all that being said, I believe there is actually a shortage of clean, well cared for properties on the market. Properties that have valued features, good locations and in touch with current market pricing. These properties "still" sell quickly to discriminating buyers.

Lack of contracts stalls wind-tower production

2010-07-28T06:25:00.000-07:00

Hope to see this company up and running soon--more jobs, more families and more demand for houses in Brandon and the surrounding area.---Todd

By Jill Meier, Brandon Valley Challenger • July 28, 2010
BRANDON – Wind-tower production at the 115,000-square-foot Tower Tech Systems plant in the Corson Development Park remains on hold, a company spokesman said.

Production won’t begin until the Wisconsin-based company secures enough contracts for towers.

“Upon receipt of sufficient customer orders, the plant will become fully operational,” said John Segvich, director of investor and marketing communications for the parent company, Broadwind Energy Inc.

Dennis Olson, Brandon’s assistant city administrator, said company representatives have indicated they will be in production by the end of the year.

“They’re waiting for contracts,” Olson said. “They’re very positive that things are going to turn around.”

Olson said when Broadwind initiated its plans to build a plant, the company had a two-year contract in place with General Electric. GE later backed out, eliminating the immediate need for production at the South Dakota plant.

The Tower Tech project at the Corson park was put on hold for eight months in 2009 while Broadwind built a similar plant in Texas and waited for the wind-energy industry to improve.

Construction resumed Sept. 1, 2009, and wrapped up earlier this year, Segvich said.

“Construction of our wind turbine tower manufacturing facility in Brandon was completed,” he said.

Company officials have said they plan to employ 150 people at the facility, which would make the company one of the four largest employers in the area.

The equipment to produce wind towers is in place, but Segvich wouldn’t say when staff would be hired.

Earlier this year, Dave Hahne of North Sioux City was hired to be the plant manager.

Tower Tech specializes in fabricating large, heavy towers that support wind-turbine blades. The plant has the capacity to produce 150 of the three-section towers per year.

The Brandon plant is the company’s third manufacturing facility. The others are in Manitowoc, Wis., and Abilene, Texas.

Henry Carlson Co. was the general contractor for both the Brandon and Abilene projects. The plants are some of the biggest buildings – 1,150 feet by 100 feet – the construction company has built, said Jerry Fromm, who managed both projects.

They’re also the longest. The plant is nearly four times as long as a football field, with walls 51 feet high.

Once in production, assembly of the 200-foot-tall towers will begin at one end of the building and be completed at the other end.

The plant sits on 41 acres in the Corson Development Park on the north side of Interstate 90.

Broadwind executives said they chose the site near Brandon to produce towers near major wind and energy projects, which in turn would reduce transportation costs.

Several wind farms are under construction in western Minnesota, western Iowa and in Brookings and Deuel counties in South Dakota.
