homes in curtis park: Did a Sacramento Escrow Company Make a Mistake on Your Closing Statement? - 09/04/09 09:12 AM
Everybody knows that Sacramento service providers are cutting back on staff, due to the depressed economy. Sacramento title and escrow companies are no exception. The problem that arises is many escrow officers are handling twice, maybe three times, the workload. When you're overworked, you're bound to make errors.
I was auditing a file last night that is due to close next week, comparing the estimated closing statement to the purchase contract. The buyer's loan amount was wrong. Although we haven't yet signed loan docs, I suspect the loan documents that were submitted to escrow were incorrect. This would fall on the … (7 comments)

homes in curtis park: The Number of Home Sales in Land Park and Curtis Park Rise in July - 08/23/09 09:35 AM
Almost every home buyer I run into wants to live in either Land Park or Curtis Park. We've got tree-canopied streets, a gorgeous park, shopping, restaurants, a movie theater, friendly neighbors and we can walk to downtown or Midtown Sacramento. Who wouldn't want to live in Land Park or Curtis Park?
That sentiment is most likely reflected in the rising home sales, too. The number of homes sold in 95818 for the month of July has shot up 85.7% over a year ago. Last July, only 14 homes sold in 95818. This July, the number of sold homes is 26.
Interesting, … (6 comments)

homes in curtis park: Here's an Affordable 1926 Home in Curtis Park for $385,000: 3215 Cutter Way - 05/11/09 10:36 AM
Although this home has an outrageously beautiful remodeled mastersuite bath, there is still an opportunity for some lucky buyer to personalize and upgrade this 1926 Curtis Park charmer to build equity. The address is 3215 Cutter Way, accessible from 7th Avenue, and the location is fantastic. Cutter Way runs parallel to and is a block away from East Curtis. East Curtis is a main thoroughfare fronting the lovely William Curtis Park. Many homes on Cutter are Tudors, adding a certain amount of glamor to … (8 comments)

homes in curtis park: Here's What Happened in Curtis Park When Agents Don't Read MLS - 03/08/09 10:43 AM
Yesterday afternoon a Curtis Park buyer's agent called me to ask for the code to show one of my listings. It was hard to hear what he was saying because there was a lot of noise in the background. I immediately jumped into my spiel about the home, pointing out some of the wonderful updates the sellers have completed. He listened and then asked: Why didn't I simply put the alarm code in the lockbox instead of making agents call me?
I explained my sellers' concerns, that it was actually their decision not to put the alarm code in the lockbox. … (19 comments)

homes in curtis park: Would You Buy a Land Park or Curtis Park Short Sale at $75 a Square Foot? - 02/26/09 09:53 AM
It sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? A 4-bedroom home in the Land Park / Curtis Park area of Sacramento for $75 a square foot? Hey, it's for sale. I hate to burst your bubble, but it's a farce. How do I know it's a farce? For starters, homes in that area sell in the upper $300's -- on average about $250 a square foot.
A bank is not going to accept a short sale offer at a price dramatically below the area's comparable sales. To deliberately price a home this low is terribly misleading to consumers and reflects poorly on the credibility … (12 comments)

homes in curtis park: Better Hurry If You Want a Good Deal in Land Park - 09/12/08 08:51 PM
If you are interested in buying or selling homes in Land Park or Curtis Park, the recent statistics for these areas may astound you.
Prices per square foot are rising in Land Park / Curtis Park. Part of that may be due to the increase of home sales of lower-priced homes, but in truth, those homes under $400,000 have been flying into escrow for the past six months. So, I don't see a big change in values based on the price or size of the home, because the activity has been too constant.
Here is a chart that details the last … (3 comments)
