The County experienced a further decline in listings (see chart below); home sales as expected decreased (it is summer); days on the market for sold homes increased; and properties selling for $ 500,000 or less are moving the fastest. Quite unsettling are the guru's who tell us how to handle money. They are finding themselves knee deep in alligators. To view complete article go to: www.venturacountyretalk.com … (0 comments)

First (and still is ) personal ID theft. It graduated to stealing homes and now ID thieves are stealing personal medical information. This article was re-printed in both the Star Duster Newsletter and L. A. Daily News but was originally published in the The Dallas Morning News. The writer is Pamela Yip. When someone steals your identity, obtains loans in your name and then stiffs the lenders, the effects on your credit report can be devastating. It can take weeks, months or sometimes years - as well as plenty of frustration - to restore your good name. For complete article go to: … (0 comments)

Whether IndyMac is sold or not will not hampered the real estate market. In a few weeks this IndyMac problem will disappear, just like Bear Sterns. Steps will be taken to shore up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well. Real estate interest rates will continue to stay around 6% over the next serveral weeks. There will be up's and down's of from 1/4 to 3/8 point swings but on averate interest rates will remain flat. Germain to real estate is that good news is starting to ease out of the wood work. Foreclosures are still high but now there is evidence … (1 comments)

- 05/18/08 08:45 AM
When selling a home the first thing most people are told is to "paint" it. When one looks at a new home, first impressions focus on the paint. So when it comes to color, most will see the color "BROWN" or cousins of brown in a home. Color influences our emotions, actions and response to other people. In general brown (in a home) covers an array of colors: sienna, bay , sand, wood, auburn, chestnut, nut-brown, cinnamon, russet, tawny, chocolate, tan, brunette, fawn, liver-colored, oak, bronze, terra-cotta, toast, umber, cocoa, coffee, copper, ecru, ginger, hazel, khaki, ochre, puce and puce (this listing was found in … (0 comments)

- 05/12/08 02:21 PM
Do a clean bill of health. Do the minor things before listing your home and benefit. Those things are: CLEAN; POLISH; REPAIR; and INSPECT. Not necessarily in that order but do it. And yes it may take some muscle. Under the heading of clean is de-clutter both inside and outside the home. Remove as much from the walls as possible. Remove the clutter in the garage. If you have boxes stored in the garage, stack them neatly and keep them low. You do not want a high rise anything in the garage. Get rid of any piles of anything in the yard. For … (4 comments)

santa paula real estate: Baseline Has Been Set!
- 05/05/08 06:41 AM
However it does appears that $ 550,000 is the baseline. In other words the lows of the market have been set, basing is now occurring and within the next 4-6 months prices should be on the upside. Why do I think the base has been set? Simply because the list to actual sales price variance in 1999, the days on the market and actual average sales prices are similar to the price variances, days on the market and actual average sales prices that we are experiencing today.

Size Matters. Over the last few weeks we have witnessed the extra steps the Federal Reserve has undertaken to firm up the real estate market and other financial institutions. I can understand coming to the defense of Bear Sterns and its subsequent purchase by JPMorgan. The financial markets could not go into a turmoil. It would be bad for the United States and the rest of the world. (As an aside JPMorgan also assisted the United States in another financial turmoil about 100 years ago. Except in that situation JPMorgan bailed out the United States not just a company like Bear Sterns). The step was also necessary to … (0 comments)
