Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:18:49 -0600

Do you live in the highly desired White Hawk Estates in Redding California? Are you wondering why your home is not selling or why it did not sell last time you had it listed? There are many reasons that properties don't sell....

Here is what has happened in "White Hawk" in the last year.....

White Hawk is a premiere West Redding Subdivision close to Downtown Redding and the legal and Medical area's.

The highest price is $695,000. The median price is $515,000. The lowest price is $450,000. The average Market Time is 135.

As we can see there has not been a lot of activity in this subdivision in the last year with only 3 closed homes on the Realtor's MLS. There may have been an additional home or two sold that is not on the MLS but we can see that the activity is fairly slow in there right now...

So how do we get homes sold in area's like this? Call me today and I am happy to discuss exactly how we can do this!

To read the chart look at the price range.Next to the price range is how many homes sold in the last year and next to that was the number of days it took to sell the home...

As we can see the majority of the action is in the $200-250k range....no surprise here!

You can also see that only 3 homes last year sold OVER a Million....

The "Average" price is $233,325.....

Are you trying to find out why your home didn't sell? Call me...we can discuss this....There is a reason....

3 Great reasons to purchase NOW and not later.....

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 14:55:02 -0600

Interest is heading UP....and according to many it will not be in the 5's again for a LONG time!

Reason number 1 to buy now-Interest rates!

Reason number 2-take advantage of the tax credit!

Reason number 3 inventories are still great to choose from!

Waiting to purchase can cost you in these three ways....Paying more per month on that payment.Not getting the current and soon to expire tax credit.Waiting may pose you to more competition as the inventories go down....more competition usually means higher prices for the most desirable homes!

Richard

New survey shows more investors are purchasing homes....

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:22:48 -0600

Foreclosures are still a hot topic in the real estate world. A recent survey shows that investors are getting back into the real estate market at a fast pace!

The survey showed that approx twice as many people are interested in investing in real estate VS. in March of this year.

On the buyers side of the equation approx 25% are after Foreclosures.

The largest age range that are interested in purchasing foreclosures is the 35-49 age range.

73% of these buyers expect their homes to appreciate at least 10% over the next 5 years.

28% of these buyers expect to have appreciation of at least 20% or more in the next 5 years!

Almost 25% think that prices are about as low as they are going to go with interest very reasonable.

Foreclosures and Short sales should make up a large part of the business for the next 1-2 years.

Richard

How does your homeowners insurance company rate? Find out here now!

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:51:54 -0600

Picking the right auto/home/life insurance company to represent you is an important decision in life.As with Realtor's there are some that are better than others and some that just do a better job.

It's the same in every industry...some stand out as great and some have a "reputation"...

Here you can check out companies that sell Home Insurance and see how many problems they have had.

Chances are your company is on this list.

To making informed choices!

Everything you and your clients ever wanted to know about the Home Buyers Tax Credits....

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:26:03 -0600

This is a great site if you or your clients have questions on the new tax credits offered and the extension of the former tax credit for first timers etc.

There is a ton of info and site out there with information on the tax credits but this site is the best one I have come across to get ALL the questions answered in one place.

The new bill will allow people that already own and want to trade up to take advantage of up to $6500 in tax credits if they purchase before the deadline date.

These credits will hopefully help spur the home buyers out there that have been sitting on the fence and waiting.

With interest rates at historic lows and inventory plentyful to choose from these factors should help to create one of the best buying times in recent history!

Regards,

Richard

What will you buy with your tax credit money?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:56:14 -0600

The senate voted to extend the first time home buyers tax credit and has offered up a move up tax credit to purchasers that have lived in their homes for 5 more years.

Here are the highlights to the new Bill-HR 3548

Trade up buyers that have owned for 5 or more years=up to $6500 credit.

First Timers or anyone that has not owned for 3 or more years=up to $8,000

Buyers MUST sign the purchase agreement by April 30th and close by June 30th 2010!

The credit is phased out for those with incomes above $125k single or $225k for joint filers.

This is a tax credit and not money back.

Looks like a GREAT time to trade up while interest is still low and inventory is high!

Redding Ca Reo's and good deals....

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:35:11 -0500

Everyone is shopping for a deal...I am no different. The fact that the majority of the deals are in Short Sales and in REO's can not be overlooked.The banks unlike many sellers want to get their properties sold Quickly!

The banks for the most part reduce the price automatically every 30-45 days if they don't have an offer...Sellers can learn from this....Sellers can also as learn from the banks that price right in the beginning and get multiple offers!!

Here are some greater Redding area REO's to check out.

Where are the deals??? IN the REO's and Short Sales is the answer!

Redding Ca Real Estate owners that need help with a loan mod can now rejoice!

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:46:06 -0500

The Senate recently passed a bill that out laws the up front fees that many attorney's and real estate people and companies have charged.

Now similar to Realtor's the client pays ONLY if there is a successful result! This is the way it has always been for real estate agents and Realtor's...no sale....no pay....now it's the same for Loan Modification.

This is a good thing.It's good because too many people hired companies off the Internet to do their loan mods and they didn't get done!! They still had to pay and got nothing for their money!

I had some clients that paid upwards of $3,000 to have a loan mod done...I begged them to do a short sale and they refused....There comes a time in the process where as a homeowner that has stopped making payments you have to go left or right at that fork in the road....if you go left and spend time on a loan mod and it doesn't work then your home may indeed go back to the bank.

It's hard to decide no doubt because many people truly want to stay in their family homes...I can relate to this...but also if and when the time comes and you are not getting anywhere at least consider a short sale...yes you have to let the home go back but it is much better than a foreclosure on your record.

With a Fannie Mae loan backed product they say you can own again in TWO years if you do a short sale...VS. 7 years if you let it go to foreclosure....it's a big difference....even if you don' t think it is right now in this moment...you may in the future Wish you had done a short sale!

To getting the job done...to getting paid after the job is done!

Richard
