Banks Baiting Buyers! - 05/14/08 12:34 AM
Banks are baiting buyers.
This is from my pespective, as a REALTOR who's daily working in the Tracy, CA housing market.  The media is about 6 months behind.
Here's what is happening.... Banks are no longer waiting 3 - 6 months for a buyer to come along and offer less than asking.  Now banks are pricing thier listings so low buyers have to move IMMEDIATELY!  Prices are low, buyers are waiting for that DEAL.  What happens to these listings, they get multiple offers, well over asking and within the first 5 days.  WOW -- so the bank doesn't have to maintain … (4 comments)

How to be a TOP AGENT in My MARKET! - 05/14/08 12:07 AM

We have a SHORTAGE of HOUSES to SELL! - 05/05/08 01:00 AM
Oh my goodness -- if you are looking for a home in good condition, in a good neighborhood is getting harder and harder.  Agents in the Tracy and Mountain House area are now starting to put offers on ... hold on to your hats..... 'SHORT SALES".  WOW -- you heard it right, and you heard it here first.  While a short sale listing might have been the KISS of DEATH --agents are writing and buyers are buying Short Sales?
WHY?  Why are Short Sales selling..... because the owners are taking care of these homes.  Grass isn't dead, the home is still in … (3 comments)
