Home Buying in Rocklin CA - Is it a Seller's Market? - 05/26/11 12:58 PM
Home Buying in Rocklin CA - Is it a Seller's Market?
Rocklin home buying in this economy should be easy, right?  Believe it or not, if a home is priced well, it's getting multiple offers, creating a seller's market and sales over the original asking price. 
Last week, I wrote an offer, over asking price, on a great home in Granite Bay.  I found out yesterday that it went to another buyer who offered even more. The price range doesn't matter, only that it's a good deal. The home received multiple offers....and it was priced over $800,000!

Short Sale Agent Folsom - 1212 Newmark Way, Folsom - Short Sale Contingent
One of the first questions I usually get from short sale buyers in Folsom is "What does short sale contingent mean?" Short sale contingent means that the seller has already accepted an offer on their home but they are still waiting on their lender to approve the short sale.  While waiting for the short sale approval, the MLS listing is labeled "short sale contingent" and will not actually be "pending" until the bank issues an approval letter.

Short Sales in 95864 - Sierra Oaks, Arden Park, & Arden Oaks Short Sales - 05/24/11 12:22 PM
Short Sales in 95864 - Sierra Oaks, Arden Park, & Arden Oaks Short Sales
As a short sale agent in Sacramento, I'm often asked, "Can a short sale be successful on higher-priced homes."  The answer is, yes.  95864 is one of my favorite zip codes in Sacramento with neighborhoods like Sierra Oaks, Arden Park, and Arden Oaks.  Despite these areas having lovely homes, home values have fallen from their peak in late 2005.  This has contributed to hardships for many who own homes in 95864.

A short sale may be a good option if you live in 95864.  Take a look at this … (0 comments)

Short Sales in Elk Grove - Do Short Sales Work?
If you asked me three years ago if short sales worked, my answer would be "rarely!"  Only about 10% of the short sales in Elk Grove listed on the market, would actually close.  Buyers were afraid to write offers on short sale homes because the bank approvals took so long, if they happened at all.   During the last two years however, most banks and lenders have streamlined their short sale process.

As a top producing real estate agent in Roseville for the last 12 years, I've seen the real estate market go from down to way up, then down again.  In a down real estate market, sellers must become creative if they want, or need, to sell their home.  A short sale is one creative sales option which allows the seller to sell for less than the balance of their mortgage.
