murrieta ca real estate: Menifee and Murrieta California Property Taxes - 03/28/11 03:57 AM
Tools For Understanding Murrieta and Menifee Property Taxes
Even though I have written quite a bit about Temecula property taxes (click to read on my site), I find that I get SO many questions on these topics.  So I wanted to do a quick recap and provide a link so people can get an idea between different communities.
In Menifee real estate you will find high property taxes in the communities of Tierra Shores, The Lakes, and entire tracts off of Garboni.  Just about all homes built after 2001 are going to be close to the 1.9% tax rate.  Now people … (0 comments)

murrieta ca real estate: Technology Won't Sell Your Murrieta Real Estate, You Do! - 01/20/11 02:50 AM
So many clients lately in the Murrieta real estate market believe that with all the cool hi-tech real estate tools available today that their home will sell quickly.  They search the internet (a great place btw) read all these marketing pitches about the latest and greatest technology widgets for real estate.  Finally, they interview an agent or two but unfortunately they focus on the wrong things, namely gadget programs and technology used when they should be focusing on experience, integrity, and most of all, results.
No doubt there is some great stuff available either online, within our smart phones, and rotating the earth!   Heck, as a successful Murrieta real estate … (3 comments)

murrieta ca real estate: Temecula Real Estate - Buyers Often Fail Before They Succeed - 09/21/10 01:54 PM
Trying To Buy Temecula Real Estate Right Now?
Many buyers are finding it hard going finding homes to buy in Temecula and Murrieta nowadays.  There are always a bunch on the market but with so many being short sales that are actually already in escrow or Temecula bank owned homes that have 4-7 offers in one weekend, it can be tough on buyers!
Understanding and coping with the Temecula real estate market can be very challenging.  In fact, I keep seeing, over and over again buyers having to fail before realizing success.  Often failure is a huge help because it helps … (1 comments)

FHA Changes coming for Temecula CA Home Buyers
For anyone out there looking to buy a Temecula home for sale using an FHA loan, you may want to contact your loan person.  My loan guy Mark Woelky-Temecula Home Loans gave me a heads up about this a couple weeks back and as the deadline approaches, you need to know about it.

murrieta ca real estate: Temecula and Murrieta Foreclosure and Flip Homes - 08/20/10 05:10 AM
Temecula and Murrieta real estate is pretty tense right now.  I am working with four separate buying clients and it is a real challenge to help them understand the type challenges foreclosure and flip homes offer.  Two of them are $200,000 and under which is a nuclear slice of the market.  Every house is getting 4+ offers if it is decent at all.
Then I have a client looking for a Temecula foreclosure home or bank owned since their loan program doesn't work on investment flips.  Then I have another client looking $300,000 or less with a pool and low taxes. Why am I … (3 comments)

murrieta ca real estate: Temecula vs. Murrieta - What Are The Differences? - 08/17/10 04:08 PM
As a Temecula & Murrieta real estate broker, I probably spend atleast 20 minutes answering this question with every buyer.  It comes up because everyone initially starts looking at Temecula since it has more national awareness.  But then they come out here and realize that Murrieta is pretty big, very similiar and often has better pricing.
