Real Estate in the Southern California bedroom communities of the Hemet - San Jacinto Valley has been red hot all year long. The community in South West Riverside County region of the Inland Empire have been dominated by Short Sale Listings and Bank Owned Sales for the entire year. It is not uncommon that once a home for sale is listed on the MLS that offers start to come in within 24 hours. Although the exception and not the rule, as an REO Listing Agent I am no longer surprised when I see offers come in on my listings in less than an hour after I publish them to the MLS. OK, maybe not surprised - but it does continue to amaze me.
With the decrease in inventory there is definitely an increase in competition for properties in the Hemet - San Jacinto, CA Valley. When we have a good house, one that hasn't been abused too badly, in a good neighborhood there won't be a lack of buyers, in this real estate market. The Excellence in Real Estate Team at Allison James Estates and Homes just recently closed a sale that generated 21 offers in the 72 hours the seller required us to keep the home listed in the MLS and on the market, before they would consider an offer.
With the competition this fierce it is critical that buyers have their financing done right the first time. I want to take this opportunity to do a "Shout Out" for one of my local lenders, Ms. Hilary Wilkinson with Patrion Mortgage, the mortgage division of Altura Credit Union.
Ms Wilkinson and her team at Patrion Mortgage bring something besides unsurpassed service to the table - they bring me confidence that when they say they can fund a loan - it gets funded. When they say they can fund a loan in 30 days, it only takes 30 days! In my business that's HUGE. Hilary does not make excuses - she doesn't have to because she produces results.
Perhaps what I like best about working with Hilary is that she doesn't just pre-qualify her borrowers she takes it the extra step and assembles their loan package for a full blown under writer pre-approval.
Hats off Hilary, and thank you for your continued dedication to your profession. It makes me proud to know you and work with you.
