valencia: Freedom is Underrated - Happy 4th of July - Fireworks Shows and Events - 07/02/19 10:35 AM
America, "Land of the Free & Home of the Brave" The sacrifices made by Revolutionary Freedom Fighters, Civil War Heroes, The Greatest Generation, Vietnam Vets & Soldiers ever since is beyond comprehension.  Giving up youth, future and an opportunity to grow old to preserve Freedom for the future Americans is something that can never be fully appreciated.  Freedom is not guaranteed.  The world can easily go back to the days of Kings, Dictators, Emperors & Czars.  Terrorism is a major threat but even more dangerous is complacency.  Believing that Freedom is to be expected rather than something that needs to be … (1 comments)

valencia: Why is Homeowner-ship the American Dream to me? - 06/24/19 03:47 PM
Many of us have our own version of the American Dream.  To some it's financial, to others it's career and still others it's simply success.  To me Homeowner-ship is the true American Dream.
I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan at a time when this city was the envy of the world.  There was no luckier person in the world than me and being raise in a family in which home-ownership was our only option it was assured that I would be a homeowner as soon as financially feasible.  I tried buying my first home shortly after getting out of the Army but … (2 comments)

Happy Easter, Easter begins the unofficial start of the home selling an buying season.  This is the time of year when buyers come out of the woodwork, competition for well located homes increases and we begin to see multiple offers.  This is a great time for those of you looking to make a move to prepare your home for sale.  The least expensive improvements include landscaping, painting and cleaning or replacing the carpet.  Declutter your home as a home looks more comfortable with less furniture.  Cleanliness is essential.  No dirty clothes on the floor or dishes in the sink.  Buyers judge how … (2 comments)

valencia: When I die, I'm going to heaven, spent time in hell in the Vietnam War - 02/20/19 10:05 PM
There are many among us still suffering from the affects of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.  We honor those that gave their lives, limbs, mental health and are still enduring the remnants of the war today.
I was fortunate to be a relatively new Realtor in Santa Clarita, California in 1996 and had the good fortune to meet a couple selling their home.  The gentleman was walking through the home with an oxygen tank and apologized for his appearance.  He went on to explain that he was in the Vietnam War and had damaged his lungs from Agent Orange.  I listened intently and … (8 comments)

valencia: What's Going on with the market? also Halloween Events in 2018 - 10/13/18 05:36 PM
Family, Friends & Clients, 
This past year has brought many significant changes to our local real estate market. Interest rates have risen by nearly 1% as the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by as much as 3,800 points. Unemployment has dropped to as low as 3.7% and home prices in many areas are up as much as 10%.
Our local real estate market has taken a breather due to the rising interest rates and uncertainty with a potential trade war. The Stock Market has been turbulent and home affordability has continued to drop.
You might think that this indicates the bursting of a … (2 comments)

valencia: 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.

valencia: 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)

valencia: 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)
