If you are paying rent every month, you may want to consider purchasing a home, while interest rates are at record lows.
But where do you start and how do you know if you are ready for home ownership?  
(Ultimately you will need to speak to a lender who can pull your credit report but just to get started here'e how to find out how much a house payment could be!)
One common sense place to begin is to analyze the components of a mortgage payment to see if you are comfortable with the amount that you will paying for home … (10 comments)

temecula homes: Bank Owned Homes - Free Search Sites For Bank Owned Homes - Are They Accurate? - 08/04/10 02:19 PM
I get this question almost every day.  Consumers call me and ask why the homes on the "Search For Homes", links on the free sites are so much less expensive than the real world listings!  - Some of them are only free for a trial period and they want you to eventually sign up and pay a monthly fee!
The public sites take information from many different sources. One of the FREE places that they get their property information is the County Recorders Offices all across the Nation. The County Recorders office has many different functions and records documents for many … (11 comments)

temecula homes: Get Rid Of The PopCorn Ceilings ~ If You Are A Serious Seller - 05/25/10 12:05 PM
We don't have a lot of older homes with the popcorn ceilings here in Temecula.  Temecula is a Newer City that has only been incorporated since December 1, 1989. 
So, when my client asked me the question about how much cost was involved to remove the acoustical ceiling of the 2000 sq. ft. ceiling, I was showing him in Starlight Ridge, I didn't know.
But here's what I found out:  In order to remove and re-texture an acoustical ceiling from a professional company who does really quality work it would be approximately $2,000 for a $2,000 square foot home.
This contractor that … (4 comments)

Another Beautiful Temecula Crowne Hill morning.   Yesterday, it was pouring down rain and I was a little relieved when I had one of my VIP clients cancel on me due to the rain.   I don't like to go out in the rain...I like to stay home and get things done in my cozy house.  Of course I would have accommodated my VIP client if they wanted to go out but since they thought it could be put off, I thought so too!!!!!!We just don't get much rain here in Temecula and when it does rain usually the very next … (2 comments)

temecula homes: Temecula Wild Life - Coyote Sighting - 01/22/10 03:17 PM
I could not belieive my eyes this morning when I saw a Coyote cross Butterfield Stage Road!
It was 8:00 a.m. and there were cars people everywhere and out of the clear blue sky a coyote crossed the road just like he owned the territory.
I know that it is the nature of the Coyote to eat small animals, so I am warning all cat owners and also the owners of small dogs to keep them in.  The Coyote population may be growing a bit.
This one that I saw looked very healthy and was not crouched down like the ones … (7 comments)

temecula homes: Temecula Wine County Living - Ponte Family Estate Winery - 12/27/09 05:47 AM
I love living and selling "homes in Temecula" and the surrounding area.  Since I live in Temecula's Crown Hill, which backs up to the wine country, one of the things that I enjoy doing is visiting one Winery per week and posting pictures and telling about our experience.  
This week's pick was Ponte Winery, South Coast Winery's neighbor.



Ponte Winery is located right next to South Coast Winery which was my Winery topic last week.  Here is the view looking at South Coast Winery Resort and spa so you can get a feel for the landscape between the Wineries. Established in 2003, Ponte … (10 comments)
