Can People in Foreclosure Yet Vote?

Filed under: Real-Estate

Could people who’ve turned a loss their home in a foreclosure turn a loss their chance to vote on Nov. 4?

Believe of not there are efforts to maintain such people off the voting rolls. It’s not a little segment of the population with the number of homes in foreclosure coming near two million countrywide. There are 23,000 home foreclosures in Ohio and 28,000 in Michigan, two primal states. Add in renters who are aiming quetched out of precluded homes and you are talking about a lot of moved voters.

NoVoterLeftBehind.net is a non-profit group supervising voter registration and the factual vote on Election Day. The effort is spearheaded by Marland Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former Illinois Senator Carol Moseley Braun and others.

NoVoterLeftBehind has four tips for voters wrestling with foreclosure:

1) Voting is an unforfeitable right that you can’t miss imputable to an inability to play mortgage payments. If anyone hears to say you other than, don’t listen to him or her!

2) If you are in the foreclosure process – but even so sleeping in your home – you notwithstanding vote where you survive.

3) If you are squeezed to go ascribable to foreclosure before the voting registration deadline, re-register at your young home location.

4) If you travel imputable to foreclosure after the voting registration deadline — but before the election — travel to vote where you were last recorded. You have the right-hand to vote by contracting an affirmation (or like form) if your right to vote is challenged for any reason. If your name isn’t on the cross-filed voter list, you have the correct to vote by probationary ballot.

People ordinarily think of SourceGear as “Eric Sink’s company”, but that’s merely half reliable.  My business partner Corey Steffen has the same ownership that I do — he’s merely not as loudly as I am.

Because Corey is sort of unruffled, most people don'’t know much about him.  Here’s a piece of information that I think is interesting:  Corey is an amateur farmer on the side.

Yep, Corey spends his days running a software company and his off hours running a small farm.  So he comes to work with stories about chickens and sheep and horses and pastures.  Oh my.

(It is interesting to note that Brian Harry , creator of SourceSafe and Team Foundation Server, also has a passion for farming.  So Corey and Brian are two data points that suggest some sort of a pattern involving version control and agriculture, but I dare not try to extrapolate.)

Anyway, since Corey’s life is such an odd juxtaposition of two extremely different pastimes, folks here at the company tend to make the occasional joke about it.  In fact, Corey has been the recipient of merciless but harmless teasing here for over a decade now.  For some reason, the subject just never gets old.  When we get together for our company lunch on Wednesdays, a joke about Corey getting up at 4:30am to clean out the horse stalls before he comes to the office to clean out the bug database is probably a sure laugh.

Continuing in this fine tradition, one of our guys recently found the following promotional card and brought it in for a quick joke at Corey’s expense:

Manhattan Shoots a Tumble

Filed under: Real-Estate

The up-to-the-minutest veridical estate sales numbers from the Corcoran Report render that the Magnanimous Apple, long reckoned to be immune from the housing slump, on the spur of the moment has that falling off feeling.

Home sales were down 34% in the third quarter. The median price of a condo yet rose 10% to $975,000, but that was exclusively driven by some of the fancy newfangled properties coming up the market. Those buidlings were gained no doubt from the bum dollar and affluent foreignors awaiting to invest in one of the world’s superlativest cities. Prices of resale property–condos that had already merchandised hands earlier–were level at $850,000.

The home market kept an eye on a like path last year, with transactions coming down but market prices even waxing. That’s unsustainable though, especailly presented all the carnage on Wall Street and its impact on jobs and pay in Modern York City.

So simply how much will that dream townhouse on the Upper East Side bed you? $10 million, up 37% from last year. And the coolheaded loft in Soho? They are down 26% in price but will stock-still typeset you backward $1.3 million. Waitress a few months.
