Yes, that's correct, I have been working with this couple that are FHA buyers, and we have put in 35 offers and still --we can not get an offer accepted. This couple is well qualified, and have reached the point with the lender that they are pre-approved, all they need is to find a home. Unfortunately for them they are in a price point that is highly sought after. What makes this such a challenge is that many times the homes are being priced under market which causes overbids by $20,000 to $50,000. They are up against all cash deals or 30% to 50% down. I feel their frustration, each time we look at a home and they put in an offer, the home sells to a buyer that had more down or are all cash.

This particular area is driven by REO properties and short sales. When a traditional sale comes on the market it is rare. I am thankful that they have not thrown in the towel. Oh, by the way these agents that have multiple offers as a courtesy it would be nice if you could let the others that showed an interest in your properties know that the offer you presented did not get accepted. Often we submitted offers and never hear from the agent.

This is what is couple would like to find, a home that is approximately 2500SF,  4Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths. A nice yard. Price between $375,000 to 425,000.

After reading a ton of AR post on everything from agents that have a system for their success to agents that have no system. I find that it seems to boildown too mind set. It's like being on a diet they all work but the key ingredient usually is that you must apply yourself. So, it is with real estate---- success starts with the brain/mind. How often does a person think that the battle in real estate is not having the right contacts, not enough good leads. When the answer is in the person approach or mind set. To often in real estate we are quick to blame our lack of success on what ever.

So, the next time if things seem to be a bit off ---- check your mind/brain.

 As of May 1, 2009, the cost to get an appraisal done on a re-fi or for the purchase of a home will increase. Here is the "WHY" with the Home Valuation Code of Conduct which has been enacted to improve the accuracy of appraisal by eliminating pressure on appraisers from loan officers, this code pushes the lenders to use third-party appraisal management companies that contract with net-works of independent appraisers around the country who have no direct contact with retail loan officers or mortgage brokers.

 So, you might be asking what the new cost for getting an appraisal will be. The average is approximately $550.00 and now the appraisal company can tack on related charges which was not the case before. There is a no show penalties if the person ordering the appraisal does not keep the appointment, which can amount to $100.00, and then there is the addition of $150.00 for properties over $500,000.

These fee's will need to be paid up front with a credit card or debit card, since the final cost can vary--- the prospective final cost is somewhat blurred. No longer can the lender incorporate the cost of the appraisal into the loan origination fees.

Dogs required to be on-leash elsewhere

San Marcos is home to three dog parks located at San Elijo

Park, 1105 Elfin Forest Road; Hollandia Park, 12 Mission Hills

Court; and Montiel Park, 2290 Montiel Road. There is one

more under construction at the future site of Sunset Park,

located near La Mirada Drive and Poinsettia Avenue.

These parks provide a safe place for four-legged family

members to run and play; however, dogs may only be offleash

in these designated areas. Leashes must be used when

walking dogs on trails or in parks.

"Safety is our main concern," explained Community

Services Director Craig Sargent-Beach. "Dogs that run free in

parks and on trails may encounter rattlesnakes, opossum,

mountain lions or poison oak."

Keeping dogs on-leash in parks and on trails also prevents

disturbance of wildlife in habitat areas and limits personal

liability.

Perhaps most importantly, it is the law and dog owners may be cited for not complying.
