Ken -
I’ve arranged a conference call with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Fannie’s regulator) for Tuesday, January 8th at 1pm EST to discuss Fannie Mae short sale valuation issues. Fannie Mae reached out to several state associations in acknowledgement of the issue and efforts to improve communication on the process. NAR contributed input on the development of Fannie Mae’s HomePath short sale site that includes an escalations contact form to resolve some of these issues. Though this is a good step towards a positive resolution, we’re still moving forward with other advocacy efforts.
In preparation for this meeting, I’m wondering if you could help me track down specific examples (with property addresses) that you could provide us ahead of time? If we could get specific examples to share, it will help FHFA staff do some digging and identify any problems in the process or models.

Follow up to my post.
NAR is looking for specific examples (with property addresses) of short sale transactions that have been denied due to Fannie Mae valuation issues. These cases will be shared with Fannie Mae and other agencies to determine potential issues with Fannie Mae modeling or process.

Last offer was rejected at $400,000
Bank is asking for $470,000 net
Will this help
OMG! That is terrible! I am sad for your buyers! Hard to get something sold with those kinds of tactics!
Ken, I have one right now I'm working on. I'll send it to you shortly.
Whoops..the one i'm thinking of is Freddie. I'm going back through all my files now though.
I have an huge issue with a Freddie Mac valuation. Would that help?
I will gladly send examples of properties that are over-valued. I don't think we should share property addresses publicly. May I send them directly to FNMA? Paula
Will send you property address for use in the meeting.

I have one at Nation Star that had an approval for the first buyer at $110,000 for a closing in september 2012 That buyer fell out in August and the negotiator called for the back up offer to be initiated. The back up offer was $114,000 A second BPO was ordered and supposedly came in too high. The bank countered at $150,000 The appraisal came in at $120,000 The buyers raised their offer to the appraisal price. The buyers lender contacted the appraiser who stated that was the highest price possible for this property and it was subject to $14,000 in water tanks to be installed. We put in for a value dispute, provided a BPO, the Buyers appraisal and a statement from the buyers lender that they could not loan above appraisal price, Fannie Mae still came back at $150,000 counter and requested we add a seller relocation of $3000 The seller was happy to forego the relocation, the buyers were willing to pay for the repairs and forego a septic pumping in order to make this work. Fannie Mae would not budge and the buyers walked away 3 days ago. I will send you any information and proof that you would like to have on this property in Idaho.
Ken - Any more updates?
