tony lewis: How Smart is Tesla CEO Elon Musk? - 08/09/18 12:21 PM
Have you heard the latest news from Tesla's CEO Elon Musk?  He stated that the company may be going private and would value the home at $420 per share.  The stop has fluctuated between $290 - $380 over the past six months.  The stock shot up to $30 per share to $32.50 almost immediately upon the news release.  That wasn't the genius of Elon Musk, the genius is that it is now planted in peoples head that the stock will eventually be valued at $420 so those hold the stock will not be selling and savvy buyers will be buying with this anticipation.

tony lewis: Rent Control - Good or Bad? 4th of July Events 2018 - 06/24/18 05:26 PM
Family, Friends & Clients,
There seems to be differing views of what is right or wrong when it comes to the real estate market.  Ask someone if they like rent control and the answer from home owners and investors is polar opposite from those that are not home owners.  Rent control makes owning an investment property a bad investment.  Take the career of a Realtor such as us.  We have no pension and could never survive on savings or social security so we have invested in rental properties as a way to secure our financial future.  Prices rise every year and the … (3 comments)

tony lewis: Schools Out For the Summer & Starts August 16th (Father's Day Events) - 06/13/18 07:12 PM
Homes sales are slowing down for several reasons. Prime reason is lack of inventory, followed by rising interest rates and then homes being listed at a price above what a will buyer will pay. We are now seeing price reductions often in all areas of the Santa Clarita Valley. Home prices have risen significantly since the start of 2018 and with higher prices and interest rates the average days on market has continued to fall. The Median Price with all areas of the Santa Clarita Valley included stands at $544,425. The average days on market is about three weeks or less. … (1 comments)

tony lewis: Tony Lewis CEO of NAR (in my dreams) - 06/06/18 10:36 AM
A Realtor is a member of the National Association of Realtors  the NAR.  Here are my suggestions if I were the new CEO of the NAR:
 
1. Standards – There should be a major change in the ability to become a Realtor. Teaching should be practical to what it takes to actual be a Realtor rather than information that will not make a person a better Realtor. All Realtors would need to have a Broker’s License within four years of being licensed.
2. Ethics – I would enforce ethics and make it easier for our real estate community to self-govern without making our … (6 comments)

The Easter Bunny is said to represent new life.
Easter Eggs were originally dyed red to symbolize the Blood of Christ.

tony lewis: Trick or Treat, the scariest things in real estate! - 10/30/17 02:30 PM
Dear Friends, Fanily & Clients,Halloween marks the beginning of the traditionally slowest real estate market of the year.  The slow season run through the holidays until near the end of January or up to mid-February.  This by no means indicates that it is not a good time to sell or buy a home, in fact, this could be the ideal time to be both or either. Finding a home at this time of year is beneficial to buyers as there is much less competition.  A seller may be more willing to compromise than at they might be at peak season.  This doesn't … (0 comments)

tony lewis: What you need to know before renting a home in 2017 - 07/19/17 08:35 PM
Are you thinking of signing a lease rather than buying a home?
Stop!
Read this before signing on the dotted line!
Times have changed and the fear of a 40% market crash have all but disappeared.  Fear of loss is outweighed by personal and financial benefits.
Why did the real estate market crash in 2006?
It was political and both parties were to blame.  Democrats felt as though home ownership was the right of all Americans and Republicans went along with the idea. The government forced banks and lending institutions to lend out money. Creative financing was created. First came Interest Only Loans. Then came … (28 comments)
