Crescent City Closings Are Up, so Why hasn't my Home Sold? - 06/25/09 10:31 PM
Crescent City/Del Norte County June 2009 closings are up, so far 24% over May 2009 and the month isn't over!
Since closings are generally 45 - 60 days, we can attribute the below 5% interest rates in April for this flurry of closings. 
But what about the coming months?  There are currently 33 listings pending or in contingency status, about the same as when I checked in April, so it looks as though closings will be up for awhile. Interest rates, although inching upward, are hovering around 6%, which is still very good and Crescent City/Del Norte list prices are still coming down.  … (1 comments)

Highlights of the California Foreclosure Moratorium - 06/23/09 12:48 AM
Several clients have called this week to ask about the California foreclosure moratorium that went into effect June 15, 2009, and how it will affect them. 
The bill is similar to legislation passed by the federal government in March.
Some of the highlights:
Banks can get an exemption from the moratorium by showing that they have a loan modification plan in place.  Several companies have already applied for the exemption; California Department of Corporations has 30 days to grant or refuse the request. Loan modification programs in place must have some combination of the following features: Interest rate reduction for at least … (0 comments)

Thumbs Up on Improving Your Bottom Line - 06/17/09 10:26 PM
I wrote a blog post recently on my experience at a seminar put on by realtor.com. That post struck a nerve with quite a few agents and received over 300 comments!  I was asked by someone in the comments whether I was going to renew my enhanced listing package with realtor.com when my current hitch expires in July. 
For me it's really a no brainer.  I have never been asked by a client if I use realtor.com in my marketing and I have NEVER had a sale I can attribute to realtor.com, so no, I am not going to renew.  Instead, I am going … (14 comments)

Coping with the Reality of Foreclosure? - 06/10/09 03:50 PM
How do you cope with the reality of foreclosure or imminent bankruptcy?
Someone very near and dear to me is facing foreclosure.  There is no one left to borrow from, their bankruptcy is completed and the end (foreclosure) is looming near.
My friend is overwhelmed and depressed.  She has lived in her home for over 25 years and wants very much to stay there, but the faltering economy is threatening to claim them as another victim.
I made a few suggestions to my friend and if you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate to share, please.
I've been married for 29 wonderful … (0 comments)

Crescent City Real Estate Market Report for May 2009 - 06/05/09 04:45 PM
Crescent City/Del Norte County Real Estate Market Report - Improving.
The Crescent City real estate market continues to improve as far as amount of sales, but prices continue to decline.  Prices are down 29% over May sales last year. 
I think we can thank declining prices, lower interest rates and tax incentives for maintaining sales. 
54% of May residential sales were under $200,000 (62% of all 2009 residential sales were under $200,000), with 15% of total May sales being REO/Short Sale listings, although REO/Short sale listings only comprise 6% of active listings (REO listings are continually receiving multiple offers). 
The absorption rate, … (0 comments)

Being a REALTOR isn't ALL Fun and Games - 06/02/09 10:07 PM
Yesterday I had to perform one of the more unsavory tasks of being a REALTOR that ranks right up there with having your teeth drilled on without Novocaine... informing a tenant his home is for sale.
I know many of you will say that's the owner's job, but because of the circumstances, the owner did not have contact information to do so and is out of the area. 
I had to drive to the home, knock on the door and tell the very nice man that the home is for sale, and "Oh, I would like to put it on our Board … (8 comments)
