Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Single Family Residential Market Report for April 2013.
 
By Brad Rachielles.
 
All are saying that we are past the real estate bottom and that now is a great time to buy a home. Let's take a look at what is happening in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. in April, 2013.
 
Rancho Cucamonga  has a wonderful mix of community feeling,  industry, huge entertainment venues, office and commercial properties and world class shopping. It's strength is in the community feeling, great schools, rapidly expanding shopping and access to the major metro areas through our interstates and trains.

UPLAND, CA - Single Family Residential Market Report for APRIL, 2013.
 
By Brad Rachielles.
I would guess that very few REALTORs have experienced market conditions as they exist in Upland, CA today. Inventories of homes for sale are at historic lows with only enough properties to last for 24 days at the present rate of sales. Many listings are getting double digit quantities of offers. Clearly, NOW is a fantastic selling window.  Let's take a look at what is happening in Upland, CA. in April, 2013.

J Philip Feranda IS from the other end of the country, but the concept is the same in California. Actually, the listing or the sale is the Brokers listing or sale as the broker is responsible for insuring that it complies with all aspects of real estate law etc. Thank you for allowing me to re-blog this post. Comments have been disabled so if you have comments, please click through to J. Philip's page. I'm sure it would be appreciated.
Best to All,

We also look forward to the opening of our new TJMaxx, Toys R Us / Babies R Us and the Nordstrom Rack and … (3 comments)

LOCAL Real Estate - By The Numbers - March, 2013 - My Market
- By Brad Rachielles.
"All real estate is LOCAL". This is a phrase that needs to be defined for each writer, and in my case, "LOCAL" is a compact group of ten cities surrounding Upland, CA. Sometimes called the Inland Empire, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Claremont, Ontario and Fontana are the easiest to find. The real estate numbers are different here than are being reported in the news.
A major indicator is the "Months of Inventory" of Homes for sale. Simply, this is a calculation of how many months … (0 comments)

brad rachielles: The Sword of Damocles - 03/01/13 06:33 PM
Lyn Sims has portrayed a terrible situation with truth and good humor. I'm not sure how one would gauge the severity of mishaps in a short sale, but this would seem to be on the extreme side.
Even though Lyn is thousands of miles from us, the lesson is good.  "Never let those B_______ get you down". Thanks Lyn for allowing me to share this with my readers. Your courtesy is appreciated.

Local R. E. Market Compared to a Maserati - Market Stats -

Having been energized by reading a post about test driving a Maserati and other exotic high performance cars, I found my mind bouncing between real estate, then Lamborghinis, then real estate, then Astin Martins..... It's hard to stay on track. With both of these thoughts fighting for mind share, maybe I can draw some comparisons.

The Upland Host Lions Club says "Thank You"
The 58th Annual Upland Host Lions Club Fish, Steak and Corn Feed was another great success. We could not have done it without the Wonderful Support of the Local Communities.
The food was great, but the real reason for this event is to raise funds so that we can provide needed eye exams and glasses to those in our schools who may not otherwise get this care, and to support other local charities who have seen their funds dwindle as the economy does the same.
We also thank the fifty or so local … (1 comments)
