HVCC Does not apply to Government Loans! - 06/29/09 09:11 PM
I just wanted to post a reminder that the madness going on right now in regards to HVCC (Home Valuation Code of Conduct) DOES NOT APPLY TO GOVERNMENT LOANS (FHA and VA)!
I know most Realtors are slightly on edge when the word APPRAISAL is mentioned these days!
So I hope this helps someone out there feel a little better! Hopefully you work with new first time home buyers who use FHA financing and you will breeze right past these nasty HVCC issues!

The deal that DID NOT CLOSE ON TIME! - What an unexpected result! - 06/24/09 04:47 PM
We just finished helping a 28 year old couple finance their first Sacramento Investment home!   Our Client's have saved their money wisely and live well below their means because the bigger picture is their priority.
They made an offer on a short sale in Sacramento and waited patiently for the bank to respond. Of course the bank came back with a short sale approval that needed to fund and record in 3 weeks! Do they know what is going on in our market? Apparently not!
We were confident we could get it done on-time because we already had a complete loan file with a pre-approval (another testiment for … (4 comments)

Could there be a silver lining to the current decline in the Sacramento Real Estate Market?
Did you know that you can request the Sacramento County Assessor's Office to reevaluate your current assessed value of your home to see if you qualify for a reduction under Proposition 8? This review could result in your Sacramento Property Tax Bill being reduced.
This decline in value may be the result of changes in the real estate market, the neighborhood, or the property itself. The assessed value will be reduced only after a review by the Assessor's Office. If the assessed value is reduced, … (0 comments)

Did you know that more fortunes were made during the 1930's Great Depression than any other time in history? - 06/02/09 02:30 PM
Did you know that more fortunes were made during the 1930's Great Depression than any other time in history?
The media has consistently reported how horrible the Sacramento real estate market is, but if you're an investor or bargain-hunter looking for a great deal, this is actually great news!  Why?  More fortunes were made during the 1930's Great Depression than at any other time in history!   The SMART money at the time was buying up real estate left and right when just about everyone else was on the sidelines.  We have a very similar opportunity today, and right now, the … (0 comments)
