short sale agent rocklin: Higher Home Inventory in Rocklin = Buyer's Market - 10/01/14 01:27 AM
Higher Home Inventory in Rocklin = Buyer's Market 
A couple of weeks ago, I got a call from a great past client looking to buy another home in Rocklin.  We had lots of homes to view in their $350K-$450K price range.  That's because inventory is up in Rocklin and homes are staying on the market longer. 
In fact, home inventory has doubled in Rocklin since the same time last year.  There are twice as many homes to choose from for you lucky buyers out there. The best thing about all these homes on the market is that it makes for … (0 comments)

short sale agent rocklin: Renegotiating the Price of a Short Sale - After Appraisal - 05/20/14 06:54 AM
 
Here's my latest SOLD short sale in Sacramento.  The bank, in this case Wells Fargo, wanted $175,000 and my clients accepted an offer at $175,000.  The short sale approval was issued, the house was now pending sale, and the buyers started their inspections.  All was going well until the appraisal.  The appraisal came back with a value of $168,000.  Now what?
The bank was originally NOT willing to take less for this home than $175,000.  Now the buyer's lender will NOT loan them all the money they need to buy at that price.  Time to renegotiate the short sale!  … (3 comments)

SOLD by Rocklin Realtor Allan Sanchez - 6305 Gold Finch Court, Rocklin 
Here's my newest SOLD home in Rocklin.  6305 Gold Finch Court was on the market less than a week before it sold for $374,000, $9K OVER the the asking price!  It's not surprising this Rocklin home got scooped up so fast.  Not only did it shine inside but it also had a built in pool and waterfall.  With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and over 2,300 sqft, it attracted a lot of interest and multiple offers. 
The timing of this Rocklin home sale couldn't have been better.  The buyers, … (1 comments)

Rocklin Condo 412 Beachcomber Dr - Sold by Rocklin Agent Allan Sanchez 
I think I'm actually jealous of the buyer who just closed on my latest sold condo in Rocklin.  412 Beachcomber Drive is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo with 1,200 square feet.  It was a short sale with Bank of America and Greentree that got approved and sold for $145,000.  That's right...3 bedrooms in Rocklin for $145K...Lucky buyer!
Rocklin short sales take some time to get approved by the lender.  When I first listed this property and opened escrow, $145,000 was the current market value.  However, in the … (0 comments)

Rocklin Short Sales Offer a Way Out - Short Sale Agent Allan Sanchez 
The Rocklin short sale process is improving by the day, becoming more streamlined, and easier to accomplish for short sale agents with experience.  Rocklin short sales offer a way out to homeowners who have a hardship, need to move, or bought at the peak of the market.  Short sales are a way to a clean slate and a faster recovery than foreclosure or waiting out the market to gain lost equity.  Some banks even offer short sale incentives (thousands of dollars to help you move.)
Many short … (0 comments)

short sale agent rocklin: Are Rocklin Short Sales Ethical? - 09/06/12 02:35 AM
Are Rocklin Short Sales Ethical? 
I often get asked this question as a Rocklin short sale agent.  Most people wonder if ethically, it's okay to sell their home for less than they owe.  After all, the mortgage was agreed upon and shouldn't all parties see it through?
I'm a real estate agent, specializing in short sales, and I see first hand the many different kinds of situations that those facing short sale and foreclosure are in. Sometimes there is an obvious hardship like job loss, death or illness of someone in the house, or divorce.  Other times, it's not so … (0 comments)

Rocklin Real Estate Agent - Did We Just See the Bottom?

We may have just seen the bottom of the real estate market with my most recent Rocklin sale.  5756 Terrace Drive was a bank owned home that just closed for $165,000.  With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,577 square feet, this home is priced just under $105 per square foot! Even considering this home was a bit of a fixer, it's a great deal.  The average price per square foot in March 2012 was $141! 
While this Rocklin home was in escrow, the inventory of homes on the … (0 comments)

Buy a House in Rocklin - Where's the Inventory?

If you've been looking to buy a house in Rocklin, you may not be having much luck.  That's because the home inventory in Rocklin is at a low!  This time last year, there was 4.8 months of inventory.  Now there is only 1.8 months.  That's a 62.5% decrease in the last 12 months. 
There is lots of speculation regarding the lack of Rocklin homes for sale.  Some think it's because the banks are holding back foreclosure inventory, trying to make the market more valuable.  Others believe because of very low interest … (1 comments)

Rocklin Short Sales Increase 50% in 2011 - Short Sale News
In 2011 Rocklin, CA has seen a major increase in short sales.  Rocklin short sales are up 50% since the same time last year.  This is a huge jump and confirms that lenders are more inclined to approve short sales than ever before.  The banks realize that the majority of short sales that are not approved, eventually become foreclosures.  Foreclosures are bad for the banks and bad for Rocklin homeowners who need to get out from under their home.  Rocklin short sales make the most sense for banks who are … (0 comments)

The Buyer Backed Out of Your Rocklin Short Sale - Now What?

Nothing is worse than getting a Rocklin short sale approval from the bank, only to have the buyer back out at the last minute.  Unfortunately, this is happening a lot lately.  A lot of buyers can't follow through with a sale because their circumstances change, they can no longer qualify for the loan, or they're scared that they are overpaying and prices are still falling.  
What happens when a buyer backs out of a Rocklin short sale?  It's important to get another offer right away.  Put it … (4 comments)

As a short sale agent in Rocklin, my favorite days are the ones when I receive a short sale approval from the bank. It takes a complete short sale package, a lot of follow-up, and quick timeframes to get a short sale approval.   Once the approval is granted, the buyers and sellers can proceed as if it's a regular real estate escrow. 
Here is my latest APPROVED Rocklin short sale.
