March 24th, 2008 categories: Real Estate Market, Sacramento
Real Estate is all over the television and speculation of whether or not to buy now or later.
There are areas where foreclosure is prominent and other areas where there is real estate as usual.
Sacramento was hit hard with foresclosures in a few areas where new homes were built in record number.
New homes for sale saturated the real estate market and investors or should I say, those wanting to be investors, thinking they were investors bought in record amounts. This frenzy of home buying in new subdivisions only drove the builders to build more homes thinking the numbers warranted an over extended amount of homes.
This is how investors lose their shirt. They buy at the peak of the market and find they need to sell at the lowest point. The shows on T.V. and the programs that are sold to investors can not do justice to the principles of real estate. Real Estate is local, there is no one shoe fits all. Unfortunately, the programs sold to investors capitalizes on a one shoe fits all platform. This is a recipe for disaster, in my opinion.
You ask when should I buy a house? When should I buy an investment property? When should I sell my house? Is Real Estate going to bust and when? When will Real Estate Boom, again?
Great questions. In a recent article about the best time to buy Real Estate, I point out that the top, the peak of the market has already occurred. No need to worry that you will get stuck. What should be a concern is how long you plan to live in the house or condo for sale. The BOOM that we experienced is not something that we will soon see again. Prices will slowly go up and equity building will be a a much slower pace.
So, there is no BUST and there will be no BOOM in Real Estate as I see it. Everyone loves to theorize about this. No one has a crystal ball and no one has the one true answer. Its best to be cautious and steady rather than flighty and late.
Home loan mortgages are changing almost daily. If you were pre approved for a loan last month, you may need to be reevaluated. It is becoming harder to get a loan and the terms are becoming more precise in terms of down payment on a house.
This is why, in Sacramento I continually stress how important it is to get pre approved by a reputable Lender who will know if a mortgage loan program fits your needs as a home buyer. Home ownership is not for everyone. Some do better as renters. However, if you are interested in putting down some roots, staying in your house and making a home of it…then NOW is a fabulous time to buy. It’s buyer’s real estate market and that means it’s YOUR turn.
In the meantime, if you own a home and listen to all the negative information out there on television I suggest turn it off. Enjoy your home, keep it up to date and plan on living in your house for awhile and of course NEVER use your home as an ATM machine. Thats the best advice I could possibly ever give a homeowner, new or otherwise.
Do you want to weigh in on BOOM or BUST? Have any thoughts? Feel free to comment below.

Ever heard that saying? If Mama Ain’t Happy, Nobody’s Happy! The same is true with Real Estate. If Real Estate aint doin well, than nobodys doing well.
Ok, I made that up but I firmly believe it. We have seen foreclosures hit nationwide and in some areas worse than others. We have seen the homeless population go up. We have seen businesses cutting back, and others going out of business. Restaurants are hurting, and even Yahoo finds itself letting employees go. Its a trickle down effect and it all starts with Real Estate.
There is no point in listing all of the jobs that have been cut and lost you already know. Bad news always sells, but Im not here to help boost the negative. Im here to let you know that Real Estate is the key to our Nations happiness and prosperity. I am here to let you know that it is time to start thinking positive and responsibly.
That means, not only invest in Real Estate but more importantly it means to safe guard your investments by not using your home like an ATM machine. When you show respect and love to your home, it will come back to honor you. When you treat it poorly, and rob it, you end up loosing it. Real Estate is an investment to be savored and respected.
So, if you want to see a happy productive nation, I suggest that we all get back to making Real Estate happy. 
What do you think? Do you agree with my thoughts on Real Estate? Are you perhaps one of the many who refinanced your house and then lost it to foreclosure?
You will be reading and probably have read, that now is a GREAT time to buy a house since it is a Home Buyers Real Estate market.
Every bit of that is true. It is. But, if you think you want to buy and sell quickly within a year or two, then no, this is NOT the time to buy. We will be getting back to Real Estate 101 which is a time of hanging on to property and moving up in 5“7 years. That is the normal cycle of Real Estate and one of responsible home ownership.
If you are a home buyer who would like to invest time and money in a home, give me a call and lets get started finding just the right house for you. In the meantime, if you would like to look at homes for sale on your own, feel free to check out my free, no obligation search for homes for sale.

February 4th, 2008 categories: Elk Grove, Real Estate Market
Repercussions from the decline in the Real Estate market seems to come as a surprise to so many. Real Estate really is the glue that holds our economy together.
Is it any wonder that we now have professionals touting a recession in the future or that we are in one, now?
Ask those living in Elk Grove or that have a business in Elk Grove, CA if they think we are in a recession.
I have watched many businesses fold in the recent year while others are down-sizing.
As foreclosures and short sales in real estate were eminent, I foresaw a lack of property taxes leading to a lack of income for the State and Counties in Sacramento.
It seems only common sense when one considers all the jobs that are initiated by Real Estate that when Real Estate is suffering, that the rest of the economy would be suffering, as well? The moaning and continued taunting on the television only feeds this frenzy.
Todays Sacramento Bees target headline was Bubble Burst in Elk Grove with the subtitle City may become yardstick for measuring regions recession.
Elk Grove, CA was touted as being the fastest growing City not too long ago. And with out of control growth there were new homes sprouting up one after the other. A City Council who was thrilled with the growth and approved strip mall after strip mall along with the long awaited Promenade mall to be built in 2008.
Well, things changed. These strip malls seen on almost every corner are many times vacant. The vacancy rate is about 68%. Elk Grove has been hit hard. Maderia thought to be the greatest residential development was halted. Many builders have taken bankruptcy. Promenade mall may have many stores back out before ever built and over all there has been a significant influx of foreclosures in Elk Grove.
So, what does all this mean? I see it as an opportunity. Prices obviously are at a record low and for those wanting to invest, this certainly is the prime time to do so, while prices are at a record low. New home buyers now have a great opportunity to buy their first home and those thinking of downsizing from other neighborhoods will find Elk Grove home prices to be an excellent value.
By 2010, Elk Grove in my opinion will be at the top once again. This City is one to watch, there should be a great come back and the payoff will be quite the benefit for those that invest. At the same time, it is a great opportunity for large business to put down their roots in Elk Grove, CA. This is a business dream low costs and plenty of future opportunity.
For those that are savvy, Elk Grove, CA is a prime place for investment and for those wanting to buy a home it is also a dream come true with ready made equity built-in.
Thats what I see for Elk Grove, CA. What’s your opinion?
Check out the Elk Grove MLS to see what homes are for sale in Elk Grove, CA and see the exceptional prices being offered truly a home buyers real estate market in Elk Grove, CA.
Where a Bubble has burst there will be recovery

El Dorado Homes Sold from October 2006 through August 2007 is provided here by a bar chart.
Looks pretty good when you look at the chart, doesnt it?
What the chart doesnt show are the homes that were for sale during that time that didnt sell.
There were 1, 599 homes for sale in August 2007 and as you can see, only 148 homes sold in August. What does that say to you? In my opinion, if a seller, homeowner does not have to sell, you shouldnt be on the market. The old supply demand theory you remember.

September 9th, 2007 categories: Real Estate Market, Yolo County, Yolo RE Stats
This bar graph represents the Sold homes in Yolo County from October 2006 through August 2007.
The key factor here is the amount of Homes that were For sale in August 2007 (916 Homes) and the Homes Sold (98 Homes Sold).
In my opinion if you dont have to sell than you should not be on the market. There are way too many homes for sale at this time. With added homes on the market it will only drive the price down further. The old supply demand theory.
By clicking on the bar graph you will be quickly redirected to the Real Estate market home sale or stats for each of the areas in Yolo County that I service.

Have you been wondering what the Real Estate Market for Placer County looks like?
Here is a graph of the homes sold in Placer County from October 2006 through August 2007.
The bar graph as well as the stats are always residential houses sold, only. Not that far off in terms of sold houses…in fact it looks like Placer County is holding its own. Below, I will expound on the average costs of sold homes for the whole of Placer County.
Of course, when you look at the number of homes for sale (2,799) and then take a look at the number of sold homes (315), it’s petty devastating. Way too many houses on the market. Frankly, if you don’t have to sell, you shouldn’t be on the market right now, in my opinion.

So, if you are thinking of buying a home in Placer County and thinking of relocating or simply want to check as a homeowner what the stats are for your neighborhood, it is available for you each month.

However, from now on, I will give you a truer picture of just how many homes are for sale all together.
As always if you are interested in the Real Estate statistics for your specific neighborhood, just email me and I’ll get them to you.

September 7th, 2007 categories: Real Estate Market, Sacramento County, Sacramento RE Stats
August 2007 Home Sales for Sacramento County are here.
The chart to the left is a comparison of Homes Sold for the months of October 2006 through August 2007 for Sacramento County Residential Single Family Home Sales.
By clicking on the chart you will be redirected to the breakdown for each City/Community in Sacramento County where the homes for sale, the homes in pending sale and the sold homes for each City are tabulated along with the average home prices and days on the market.
As you can see from the chart above comparing October 2006 Real Estate Sales of 1,067 residential homes being sold to August of 2007 with only 775 residential homes sold in all of Sacramento County. It has been a steady slow decline in the amount of homes that have sold in Sacramento County.
However, it has been a steady incline as the the home for sale. So, when you look at the bigger picture with 10,049 homes actively for sale and only 775 homes sold…the picture doesn’t look very good. If you, as a homeowner don’t “have to” sell your house, you shouldn’t be on the market right now. It’s the old supply and demand theory. Think about it.
What it should be saying to each and everyone of the Sellers is…if you don’t have to sell you shouldn’t be on the market right now. There are way too many homes for sale, in my opinion.
In the past, my stats have been specific to that particular month and not included any homes for sale that did not sell and tagged on to the following month. In the future, my stats will include all active homes for sale not just those that came on the market for that particular month.
For general information about Sacramento County as a whole, here are the Real Estate Market Statistics for Single Family Residential Homes:
For the Month of August 2007
10,049 Homes were actively For Sale
$390,853 was the Average Price for a House
