Ottomista - PessimistaOptimist - Pessimist
What is your view on Santa Cruz Real Estate?
Do you see the current real estate market negatively or positively?
Is your glass half full or half empty?
On more than one occasion in the last two weeks I have had conversations with sellers and other Realtors in Santa Cruz. The perception during these discussions is that nothing is selling over $1,000,000. Oh what a pessimista view... By nature I do tend to be an ottomista but I will back up my view of Santa Cruz Real Estate with facts.

Short Sale Deficiencies in Santa Cruz CA - 07/17/11 07:36 PM
Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 458 yesterday which prohibits a short sale deficiency judgment whether a lender is a senior or a junior lienholder in a short sale. The previously signed bill enacted earlier this year protected the seller from first lienholders seeking short sale deficiences in short sale transactions. Any short sale consisting of one-to-four residential units closing after the signing of Senate Bill 458 will now prohibit the deficiency.
Any short sale that closed before the signing of the bill on July 15th is subject to a possible deficiency judgment by junior lienholders.
Short sale closings that occured prior to January 2011 could … (1 comments)

I am so excited to share pictures of this years organic garden. It's only the middle of July but what a harvest we are going to have! Over the last few years we have become quite good at composting and the fertilizer produced seems to be working in our home garden in Corralitos.

Our home garden consists of two 4x8 boxes and one 8x8 box. As if the original boxes weren't enough we have oozed into other areas … (2 comments)
