The last chart shows how the interest rates have fluctuated through the … (5 comments)

el dorado hills realtor deedee riley: Seller's Market or Buyer's Market Varies by Price Range - 10/08/13 02:23 PM
Seller's Market or Buyer's Market Varies by Price Range
Inventory of single family homes in El Dorado Hills has jumped 145% since January 2013 but looking at the overall picture we are still in a Seller's market with 3.9 months of inventory.  If only things were that simple. As you will see by the following charts, whether it's a seller's market where sellers have the advantage or a buyer's market where buyers tend to have the advantage, varies depending on the price range.  A couple things to remember: below 6 months of inventory is considered a seller's market, above 6 months of inventory is considered a buyer's market.  The months … (8 comments)

el dorado hills realtor deedee riley: When do we get the keys to our home? - 09/27/13 06:34 AM
When do we get the keys to our home?     There is a lot to the escrow process here in our area and I often get the question, "When do we get the keys to our home?"  Unlike other states where you basically exchange the money for the keys, a buyer here in Northern California doesn't get the keys till the new deed is recorded and the close of escrow is official.   Our escrow process starts once the purchase contract is accepted by all parties.  Escrow is opened with the title company designated and agreed upon by the buyer and seller in the contract.  In southern … (25 comments)

Fall Color in El Dorado Hills
 

 
Maple trees are a big part of the beautiful Fall Color in El Dorado Hills.  We have a variety of Maples on my street, all turning colors and losing their leaves at different times.  My neighbors up the street have Maple trees that always have a jump start on ours.  Theirs will be in full color before mine even begin to turn.  I guess that's what extends our beautiful fall season!

I love school being out because I don't have to think about what time of day it is if I am passing by the Oak Ridge High School and how to … (4 comments)

These big rock walls with native boulders are a great alternative for retaining walls here in our area.  This is in La Borgata across the street from our Lyon Real Estate - El Dorado Hills office.  We have some at our own home that Parson Brothers put in and did a great job, but I know Doug Veerkamp also does them and maybe even other companies now.

Propositions 60 and 90 - Tax Relief in El Dorado County
* Update: Proposition 90 is no longer available in El Dorado County.
All counties in California allow Proposition 60 but not all counties allow Proposition 90 which makes El Dorado County more beneficial to those considering downsizing and or relocating.  It is something other Sacramento area counties like Sacramento County itself, Placer County, Nevada County, Yolo County, or San Joaquin counties do not offer to it's 55 year old plus home buyers. Proposition 60 allows homeowners 55 and older (or if either spouse is 55 or older) to transfer the Proposition 13 assessed … (2 comments)
