The Latest Elk Grove Real Estate News - By Agent Allan Sanchez 
The Elk Grove real estate market is always changing and last month was no exception.  The big news to report is just how MANY homes for sale there are in Elk Grove.  Home inventory went up almost 5% last month and it's up 55% since last year.  What does that mean for Elk Grove home values?  It means they won't be gaining much value anytime soon.
Let me explain what happens when there are LOTS of options for Elk Grove buyers.  Buyers are looking for the best house for … (0 comments)

So Nice Selling 9383 Soaring Oaks Drive - Elk Grove Real Estate Agent 
I've sold real estate in Elk Grove for the last 15 years.  Monday, 9383 Soaring Oaks Drive sold and it was one of the nicest sales I've maybe ever had.  It was such a pleasant experience for everyone that I have to blog about it!
The seller called me last year and after looking at her home and discussing current Elk Grove market conditions, we decided it was NOT the best time to sell.  Fast forward a year later and prices are up, inventory is steady, and … (0 comments)

The Cutest Home for Sale in Elk Grove CA - Agent Allan Sanchez 
I've been an Elk Grove real estate agent for 15 years and sold over 300 homes there.  This is the cutest little house I've ever sold in Elk Grove!

There are bamboo floors throughout and custom paint.  Everything in this home is squeaky-clean and cared for.  … (1 comments)

real estate agent elk grove: Short Sale Elk Grove with Two Loans - SOLD - 11/13/12 02:14 AM
Short Sale Elk Grove with Two Loans -SOLD 
Here's my latest SOLD Elk Grove short sale.  7200 Beja Court has two loans with two separate lenders; PNC and CHASE.  Negotiating short sales with two different lenders means twice as much negotiation and paperwork for the short sale agent but despite the work, Elk Grove short sales with two different lenders are very possible. The seller was able to sell her home with no out of pocket expenses, and move on from this financially draining home. 
Elk Grove short sales can be very complex, especially dealing with multiple banks.  It can … (0 comments)

Elk Grove Real Estate Agent - Two More Short Sales Sold
The bulk of my business has always been in Elk Grove.  I've sold hundreds of Elk Grove homes during my 15 year career as a real estate agent.  Last week I closed two more homes in Elk Grove, both short sales.  If you can sell short sales, you can sell anything!  Short sales are the toughest kind of sales because they are ever changing.  Good real estate agents need to go with the flow a bit and that's especially true for short sales!

Elk Grove Short Sales Get Approved With Allan Sanchez
It's been an awesome week for my Elk Grove short sales!  Three approvals lately with banks like Bank of America, Patelco, and even a short sale approval from CalVet.  Short sale approval day is my favorite day because that means the hard work of negotiating, paperwork, and bending over backward for the bank is behind me.  Once I get an approval, it's real estate business as usual and I can close the short sale much like a regular sale.
Short sales are very different from traditional sales.  In a short sale, … (0 comments)

Buy a House in Elk Grove - Where's the Inventory?

It's funny how many Elk Grove buyers think it's a buyer's market.  That's just not the case. Inventory is the lowest it's been in since 2004!  With just over 1 month of inventory, Elk Grove buyers are having a hard time finding a house.  My listings are getting multiple offers and selling quickly.  It's turning into a seller's market!
Does low inventory mean the bottom of the real estate market?  It's possible.  Prices in Elk Grove didn't go down this month and probably won't go down for the next couple … (0 comments)

real estate agent elk grove: Elk Grove Short Sales SOLD by Allan Sanchez - 03/08/12 01:08 AM
 
Elk Grove Short Sales SOLD by Allan Sanchez

Elk Grove short sales are very different from traditional sales.  In a short sale, the seller owes more on the home than it's currently worth.  Their lender must agree to sell the home for less than the loan and except the sales price as payment in full.  The short sale process is tedious without an experienced Elk Grove short sale agent handling the paperwork, negotiation, follow-up, and many questions that are sure to come up.
Most people choose to short sale because their home's value is substantially less than their mortgage.  … (0 comments)
