santa clarita: Easter Begins Peak Real Estate Season in California
- 04/04/23 12:21 PM
Friends, Family & Clients
Most of us have anticipated a slowdown in home sales. However there are factors that have precluded this from happening. One of the keys is many homeowners either purchased their home or refinanced it with historically low interest rates. Losing an interest rate at or below 3% and buying with a rate above 6% is uninviting to many homeowners. People that decide to put their home on the market will only do so if there is a need or opportunity that make sense to them. This has kept th ratio of buyers to sellers incredibly high.

santa clarita: Happy Thanksgiving from Tony & Dani Lewis and Paul & Tracy Dinkel
- 11/18/22 09:40 PM
Family, Friends & Clients,
The first Thanksgiving was in the fall of 1621. The Pilgrims celebrated their first successful harvest by firing guns and cannons in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The noise alarmed ancestors of the contemporary Wampanoag Nation who went to investigate. That is how native people came to be present at the first Thanksgiving. Today a traditional Thanksgiving dinner often includes turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, stuffing and sweet potatoes. Today Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday in November. The date of the first Thanksgiving remains unknown. President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving national holiday 1863.

santa clarita: Are we headed to a Recession? Thanksgiving Events 2022
- 11/05/22 06:13 PM
Dear Family, Friends & Clients,
Home Prices have risen approximately 40% over the past three years. Prices have declined about 10% since the first of the year. Rising interest rates, out of control inflation and the Russian invasion of Ukraine are key factors causing the decline in prices. The big question is "where do we go from here?" The chance of a recession or soft landing remains a mystery. A great reason for optimism is that lenders learned from past mistakes and utilized wise lending practices ever since the market crash of 2008.
Homeowners, even if behind on their mortgage, mostly have … (2 comments)

Friends, Family and Clients,
Halloween Events, Haunted House & Thing to do in California 2022
Rising Mortgage Rates continue to impose havoc on the real estate market. This is a great time to think about your financial future. The Sky may not be falling but the future is awfully cloudy. The Fed is immune from the pain they have inflicted on the average citizen as their focus remains on putting a halt to the out-of-control inflation that they have caused. There is another anticipated rate increase expected despite all of the warning of the possibility of a massive recession. Check your financial status … (1 comments)

santa clarita: Looking to buy or sell? How about a Halloween Event?
- 09/27/22 09:16 AM
Family, Friends & Clients,
Is there any reason to buy a house with the current rising interest rates?
Rising Interest Rates have adversely impacted the purchase power of those of us hoping to buy a house or investment property. This will most likely lead to an eventual drop in house prices as well as an increase in foreclosures and short sales. There is a benefit to those hoping to purchase a house in the current atmosphere. Homeowners will be less demanding and more willing to negotiate on price and repairs. There will also be much less competition for that perfect house for the … (1 comments)

santa clarita: It's a Buyer's Market but Sellers don't know it yet!
- 08/19/22 05:09 PM
Friends, Family & Clients,
Rising Interest Rates have adversely affected housing values. Home Showings have come to an abrupt stop. Price Reductions as well as cancelled listings have steadily increased over the past six weeks. However, sellers continue to make the tragic mistake of listing their homes as though it is still a seller's market. There have been two major interest rate hikes and another that is forecast for the upcoming Fed meeting. A homeowner wishing to sell at this time needs a reliable Realtor that knows the best price to list their home. Call us at 661-510-7975 to discuss the value … (4 comments)

santa clarita: 4th of July 2022 Events & Real Estate Update
- 06/26/22 11:29 AM
Dear Friends, Family & Clients,
4th of July Events in California 2022
America is at a crossroads due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, rising interest rates, out of control interest rates, skyrocketing gas prices and division due to the recent Supreme Court Ruling on Roe vs Wade. Homeowners may soon loosen their grip on the recent Seller's Market. First Time Buyers and those hoping to purchase lower priced homes are now qualified for less of a loan than just a month ago. The fewer buyers there are for the bottom rung means there will be a lower amount of move up buyers.

santa clarita: Will Rising Interest Rates Crash the Real Estate Market?
- 05/14/22 11:44 PM
Dear Clients, Family & Friends,
We are in the midst of run-away inflation. The Fed is determined to slow it down by steadily increasing interest rates. Higher rates will lower the amount of a mortgage loan a buyer will be able to borrow. This may not lower demand but increase bidding wars on lower priced homes. My experience from the past shows that it will take several months or even a year for sellers to begin to lower their list price significantly.
This is a time that a homeowner thinking of selling needs a seasoned, professional Realtor more than ever. A homeowner … (1 comments)

Friends, Family & Clients,
We haven't seen home prices rise at these unrealistic levels since back in 2004 - 2006 when home prices went up 22% 28% & 18%. Home prices in Valencia, Stevenson Ranch, Saugus and throughout the Santa Clarita Valley have risen between 20% to as much as 33% in just the past twelve months. Congress is attempting to approve a stimulus package as high as 3.5 Trillion Dollars. This is a two headed monster for homeowners and those hoping to buy a home in the future. This influx of cash to the economy could lead to inflation levels not … (4 comments)
