A bill that would allow certain home mortgages to be modified by bankruptcy judges has been introduced in the House. The Home Foreclosure Reduction Act of 2011, H.R. 1587, would, among other things, allow bankruptcy judges to adjust the amount of an underwater mortgage to the fair market value of the home. The change will encourage homeowners to make their mortgage payments and help stop the endless cycle of foreclosures further depressing home values, according to the bill's sponsor, Rep. John Conyers, Jr., D- Mich. Currently, mortgage modifications are done solely at the discretion of lenders.
Fair market value of marital home/family farm.
How does one figure the tax exclusion and cost basis for a home sold in 2010 by a resident spouse several years after the death of the first spouse? Both owned the property jointly. When a home is owned jointly by a husband and wife (a tenancy by the entirety), title to the property passes to the surviving spouse after one dies. The surviving spouse calculates the basis of the home based upon the original cost plus improvements and a "stepped- up" basis equal to fair market value for the decedent's one-half interest in the home.
Naturally, the Assessor's office is sensitive to this issue. Because, after all, state law is very clear that they should not be sending out tax bills based on more than the fair market value of a home. The Assessor does not mind taking on the individual property owner who challenges their bill because the Assessor typically has much more time and resources than the average home owner. Further, individual home owners are rarely versed in the methods of property valuation, so it is easy for the Assessor to, maybe, throw the challenging property owner a small reduction, or maybe throw them no bone whatsoever. If the home owner wants to appeal his or her assessment, the County helpfully provides a 30-page rules of procedure on their website, and the Assessor's office will turn out in full ...

Industry statistics indicate that within six months, 50 percent of all loan modifications fail to prevent foreclosure. The relief offered by lend- ers to borrowers in dis- tress is little more than Band-Aid relief instead of what's really needed: reconstructive surgery to remove and replace their loan's toxic terms with terms commensurate with the borrower's abil- ity to repay and proportionate to the home's current true value. If mortgage holders refuse to grant meaningful loan relief, let's replace them with efficient, non- profit organizations whose corporate objective is to preserve continued homeownership and work for the best interests ofthe owners. An FHA 203(k) property appraisal and inspection report would follow to confirm the home's current fair market value, as the basis fo...

The mother of accused Pittsburgh cop-killer Richard Poplawski sued Allegheny County on Wednesday, claiming that a 911 dispatcher's failure to pass along warnings that her son was armed, and the ensuing fatal gunfight and investigation, have made her home uninhabitable and of no value. In the lawsuit filed in Common Pleas Court, Margaret C. Poplawski seeks money to cover the fair-market value of her Stanton Heights home prior to the April 4, 2009, shooting as well as the cost of living elsewhere since the exchange. County records show the Fairfield Street home she bought in 1999 for $64,500 was assessed last year at $71,700 for tax purposes.
What is the fair market value of your home? The quick and easy answer is: whatever a seller can get a buyer to pay for it.
