california: Home Prices Dropped more dramatically than you think, see the chart!
- 03/04/13 12:44 PM
The real estate bubble created from 1997 to July 2006 was unprecedented. The current rise in prices looks to surpass this recent history. There are no simple answers. The only ways to slow down this price escalation is to either raise interest rates or stop FHA & VA Financing and require larger down payments. Congress has also suggested taking away the tax benefits. The cure is worse than the illness. (Chart provided by Case Shiller)

Higher home prices send California housing affordability lower LOS ANGELES (Feb. 25) – Higher home prices offset lower interest rates to reduce housing affordability in California during the fourth quarter of 2012, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) reported.
The percentage of home buyers who could afford to purchase a median-priced, existing single-family home in California decreased to 48 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, down from 49 percent in third-quarter 2012 and from 55 percent in fourth-quarter 2011, according to C.A.R.’s Traditional Housing Affordability … (0 comments)

california: Seller’s Market but Buyers have the most to gain!
- 01/19/13 09:09 AM
Dear Clients, Friends & Fellow Realtors, This is the time to make hard decisions that will affect your financial future. “Don’t cry over spilled milk” There is no crystal ball so timing the bottom of the market was just a guess at best. Home prices began one year ago. No one could have been sure of this until enough times had past. We are now in the midst of a full blown Seller’s Market. The reasons for the turn-around are plentiful. Jobs are coming back, banks have chosen to work with home owners in default rather than foreclose, consumer confidence is … (0 comments)
california: Don’t sell your home now unless…

Don’t sell your home now unless… Abracadabra… It’s now a Seller’s Market! One of the best tools for making a decision is called the Ben Franklin System. The scenario is you make two lists. On one side you list the positive reasons and on the second list you list the negative side. Check out the Ben Franklin List for “Whether to Sell Your home at this time” Reason to sell your home now: The Best Reason to sell now is to “Avoid a Foreclosure” A Foreclosure never leave your permanent record. Selling by Short Sale takes a lot of paperwork and … (1 comments)

california: Short Sales fail to live up to the hype! Wake up lenders!
- 07/29/10 07:47 PM
A Short Sale occurs when a home owner is unable to keep up the mortgage payments and must sell or lose their home to a foreclosure. The home owners is considered upside down. The Lender has the option to allow the home owner sell the home and the Lender will pay all of the closing costs and accept the net proceeds from the sale as payment in full. This helps the seller by allowing them to avoid a foreclosure on they record. This helps the Lender by allowing them to sell the home quicker and reinvest the proceeds sooner. This helps … (3 comments)

Many home buyers start their search for a home when they are "Ready!" The next thing many will do is start looking at homes.
