mark lomas: Analysis of the Santa Barbara Real Estate Market May 2012 - 05/17/12 01:28 PM
This is an analysis of the Santa Barbara Real Estate market including Carpinteria/Summerland, Montecito, Hope Ranch, downtown Santa Barbara and Goleta through the month of April 2012. For the Home Estate/PUD market April marked the second month in a row that sales were at or above 100. The median sales price fell however from $835,000 in March to about $760,000 in April. The reason for the decline in that median sales price is that 70 of the 100 sales were below $1,000,000 with 43 of those sales coming in between $450,000 and $800,000. There were about 20 sales between $1 and … (0 comments)

mark lomas: Finding that Perfect Property, or Person Online! - 03/11/12 08:30 AM
* Stop reading now if you are even remotely humor impaired or comedically challenged! Yesterday's man or woman used to think, "if I need to find someone this way, I'm already lost!" But today, someone might say, " I don't have enough time to drive around and look at all the open houses/a potential homebuyer's version of "speed dating", so maybe I can use this service!" We've all seen those ads for E-Harmony - where this scary looking guy comes out and tells us how great his dating service is, and then tries to convince us that it's all scientific, and … (0 comments)

mark lomas: Information Vultures or if American Airlines can control their data, why can't Realtors? - 12/26/10 11:03 AM
American Airlines recently dumped Orbitz, an online travel agency information vulture that has preyed on the airlines by exploiting their data . As a result, Expedia (another online travel agency information vulture) has removed fares from its search results in a show of support for it's competitor Orbitz.Falsely, Orbitz and Expedia says, "this is bad for the consumer." BS. It's bad for Orbitz and Expedia that exploit the airlines data for profit. Why can't American Airlines control their own data? How does a third party, that's exploiting this data, have any say in how a company or business conducts their business?Southwest Airlines has … (2 comments)

mark lomas: Marin's Two Real Estate Markets? Is Model - 11/19/10 12:24 PM
Earlier this week economist Leslie Appleton Young presented to the Marin Association of Realtors that, "Excessive asking prices are having an outsized effect on high cost markets such as Marin County. In the upper end are unrealistic sellers who are nostalgic for the boom years. The Marin Real Estate market may take several years to recover from it's recent slide. While demand has cooled for high end properties, there is still a strong appetite for so called "distressed" properties whose sellers are financially struggling, or have stopped paying their mortgage." Young suggests that there are two Marin Real Estate markets: Distressed properties versus … (1 comments)

mark lomas: Jumbo Loans in Marin County - 10/01/10 11:42 AM
Jumbo Loans have always played an interesting role in Marin County Real Estate. The high end of the market depends on them. A year ago, even the most creditworthy borrowers struggled to secure home loans of more that $729,750 - the cutoff for conventional conforming loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But, since this spring, the interest rate spread between conforming and jumbo loans has narrowed and the number of lenders offering the loans has jumped. As of late July, lenders were offering jumbo loans at a typical rate of 5.5 percent, down from 7 percent a year earlier … (0 comments)

A lot of people question whether blogging is Journalism? This post should help foment that debate. If you're humor impaired or comedically challenged, stop reading now. The intention of this post is to be informative, and ....
Two things you need to know about Open Houses. If you're a seller, there should be nothing of value left out in your home for showings or open houses.
