One of the nurseries had wisterias for sale, which are also blooming in front of commecial buildings, and on the sides of the freeways.

realestateinvestor: SoCal, Don’t Sell on Your Own Just Because It’s a Sellers’ Market - 04/06/21 09:42 AM

In a sellers’ market, some homeowners might be tempted to try to sell their house on their own (known as For Sale By Owner, or FSBO) instead of working with a trusted real estate professional. When the inventory of homes for sale is as low as it is today, buyers are eager to snatch up virtually any house that comes to market. This makes it even more tempting to FSBO. As a result, some sellers think selling their house will be a breeze and see today’s market as an opportunity to FSBO. Let’s unpack why that’s a big mistake and may actually cost you more in the long run.

realestateinvestor: SoCal, Your Tax Refund and Stimulus Savings May Help You Achieve Homeownership This Year - 04/05/21 09:41 AM

If you’re planning to buy a home this year, saving for a down payment is one of the most important steps in the process. One of the best ways to jumpstart your savings is by starting with the help of your tax refund.
Using data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), it’s estimated that Americans can expect an average refund of $2,925 when filing their taxes this year. The map below shows the average anticipated tax refund by state:Thanks to programs from the Federal Housing Authority, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae, many first-time buyers can purchase a home with as little as 3% down.

realestateinvestor: There is No Reason To Worry Over Today’s SoCal Lending Standards - 04/01/21 10:01 AM

Today, some are afraid the real estate market is starting to look a lot like it did in 2006, just prior to the housing crash. One of the factors they’re pointing to is the availability of mortgage money. Recent articles about the availability of low down payment loans and down payment assistance programs are causing fear that we’re returning to the bad habits seen 15 years ago. Let’s alleviate these concerns.
Several times a year, the Mortgage Bankers Association releases an index titled The Mortgage Credit Availability Index (MCAI). According to their website:

realestateinvestor: SoCal, Is Homeownership Still Considered Part of the American Dream? - 03/31/21 12:35 PM

Since the birth of our nation, homeownership has always been considered a major piece of the American Dream. As Frederick Peters reports in Forbes:
“The idea of a place of one’s own drives the American story. We became a nation out of a desire to slip the bonds of Europe, which was still in many respects a collection of feudal societies. Old rich families, or the church, owned all the land and, with few exceptions, everyone else was a tenant. The magic of America lay not only in its sense of opportunity, but also in the belief that life could in every way be … (0 comments)

realestateinvestor: Will a Change in SoCal Mortgages Rate Impact Your Homebuying Budget? - 03/31/21 12:28 PM

Mortgage rates are on the rise this year, but they’re still incredibly low compared to the historic average. However, anytime there’s a change in the mortgage rate, it affects what you can afford to borrow when you’re buying a home. As Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, shares:
“Since January, mortgage rates have increased half a percentage point from historic lows and home prices have risen, leaving potential homebuyers with less purchasing power.” (See graph below):
When buying a home, it’s important to determine a monthly budget so you can plan for and understand what you can afford. However, when you need to stick to your budget, even a … (2 comments)

As we were walking down the aisle at El Rancho Market in Santa Ynez, ready to check out, this brand "pull"ed us in to stop and take a photo. The price is certainly appealing as is the blessing and rating of the "Wine Enthusiast!"

We liked the label featuring two types of wine openers, one for the chardonnay, and the other for the cabernet sauvignon. It is clever and well-thought out brand. It is clear, simple and to the point.

realestateinvestor: Town of Larkspur Colorado - Market Update February 2021 - 03/30/21 11:37 AM

The Town of Larkspur is located 40 miles south of Denver and West of I-25. The town was incorporated in 1979 and today is known for the Renaissance Festival held every year in Larkspur and the Yogi Bear's Jellystone Campground. Most homes in Larkspur are on lots of one acre or more and surrounded by trees. You will see lots of wildlife - deer, mountain lions, bears (brown & black), fox, coyotes and lots of birds.

The population of Larkspur is quite low, keeping "traffic" to a minimum. Some in the neighborhood of Sage Port have … (1 comments)

realestateinvestor: SoCal This Is What It Means To Be in a Sellers’ Market - 03/29/21 10:16 AM

If you’ve given even a casual thought to selling your house in the near future, this is the time to really think seriously about making a move. Here’s why this season is the ultimate sellers’ market and the optimal time to make sure your house is available for buyers who are looking for homes to purchase.
The latest Existing Home Sales Report from The National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows the inventory of houses for sale is still astonishingly low, sitting at just a 2-month supply at the current sales pace.
Historically, a 6-month supply is necessary for a ‘normal’ or ‘neutral’ market in which there are enough homes available for active buyers (See … (0 comments)

We have all known people who live in the past. Some glorify and embellish "the good all days", some regret the choices they made, and some blame and resent others for the situation they find themselves in.

The past is alive and well in their present. The past becomes their means of justifying their self created "now" misery! This is not an "age" thing, although using age or money is a great way to justify one's inability to move on.
