valencia: Valencia & Santa Clarita, California Homes are Selling, Finally!
- 08/21/09 01:11 PM
Financial Institutions released information last Fall that was so devastating that in lead to the Stock Market crash. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell for a peak of just over 14,000 Point to a low of around 6,500 Points.
This was all predicated on the Bubble Bursting in Real Estate. Loans that had been made on properties valued as much as 50% below purchase price were unsecured. Borrowers walked away for their homes leaving financial institutions holding the bag. The consumer had to bail them out. This plummeted the stock market which hurt every American. This hurt the rest of the … (0 comments)

valencia: Santa Clarita Valley Buyers and Sellers "Jumping through hoops!"
- 07/08/09 10:13 AM
Buyers and Sellers are both discouraged for opposite reasons.
Buyers that have jumped into the real estate market are finding low inventories and having to compete for well priced homes.
Sellers are finding out that in order to sell they must price their home competitively with foreclosure, Short Sales and REO listings.
The biggest drawback for both buyers and sellers is that once a price is agreed upon it is nearly impossible to get the appraised value.
My Suggestions:
Be dedicated and committed to your success. Not buying could lead to missing out on current pricing or having to pay a … (0 comments)

There are times we give advice like "The sky is falling" and it falls of deaf ears! I have been beating the drum to buyers of something similar to this. It has been my proclamation for 6 month now that if I were in a position to buy homes I would buy and keep buying until the market turned around.
Well, "the market has turned around" and prices are so low now that "Sellers" are making the decision as to who has the honor of owning their home. Look back at my interviews and writing and you will find a message … (0 comments)
