Hello Everyone and Welcome to the end of Summer,
I hope your summer was filled with lots of family time and trips to new places:-) As school starts, it signals then end of summer and many are curious how the housing market will perform. Only time will tell. Demand on proper and competitively priced homes is very high and moving quickly. The new trend on short sales and bank owned homes is to price the home very low and have it bid up by potential buyers. Please keep this in mind when looking at these types of homes for sale. Enjoy your upcoming weekend and please keep the replies coming!
Bank Owned Detached Homes in OC on the market 7 days or less.
Bank Owned Attached Homes in OC on the market 7 days or less.
Short Sale Detached Homes in OC on the market 7 days or less.

Who do you think is helping homeowners more, Obama or the banks?
Home prices have shown a gain over the past year.
Here are 5 mistakes first time home buyers make.
Is the housing market as bad as some say it is?
Hopefully this is a sign of life for the economy?
Are we starting to see more high end foreclosures?
Is it time now for the adjustable rate mortgage (ARM)?
Paying off your mortgage in 15 years instead of 30 could be a big deal.
Russian roulette with foreclosures.
Mortgage rates still going south?
Another reason getting a loan could be difficult.
The newest Green Sheet is out and is a good read.
I have added a special page on my website to search Foreclosure Homes on a local or national level.
For those of you interested in past sales, you can check home values in almost any area.
Remember, you can view all the Orange County bank owned homes updated daily through the MLS.
You can perform your own personal custom home search.You will even be able to set up your own account and save homes in a personal folder.

Hello and Happy Friday to All,
I had some questions regarding Loan Modification this week and wanted to touch on this subject in this week’s email.
The reason Loan Mods don’t work is simple. Usually, the banks will not modify your loan, or if they do, the new modified number isn’t low enough to have enough of a positive impact on the borrowers ability to pay. Furthermore, if a home sells in the borrowers neighborhood significantly less than what the borrower paid, it will create enough anger with the borrower that they end up not wanting to continue with the new modified payment as it just doesn’t make sense to continue.
Here is an interesting article regarding loan mods and what J.D. Power has to say. Here is another article that really spells out the problems with loan mods from the eyes of agents performing them in the trenches.
My advice to borrowers looking for a loan modification is to forget about trying to modify your loan and just do a short sale and get out from under your payment. If you have been thinking of selling your home, please contact me to get a free expert property valuation of your home’s worth. Ok, let’s dig into this weeks email.

Hello Everyone and Happy Friday,
I want to share a couple of examples with you that pertain to demand in Orange County. I wrote 2 offer this past week and were out bid by other buyers on regular sale homes. One was in Irvine with an asking price over $1.0M and the all cash offer I wrote for my client was within 93% of the asking price. We got beat out on that. The other offer I wrote was in Costa Mesa on a original condition home built in the 50′s with an asking price of aprox $530,000. The offer written on that was over the asking price and we got beat out again. This is the phenomenon happening in Orange County and beyond today. Activity levels may be down for June, July and August but don’t think for a second that demand is gone.
Lets dig right into this weeks newsletter.

I’m not sure Alan Greenspan is paying attention to what is happening in California.
Is it possible that Talega and Ladera Ranch are OC’s hottest selling cities?

Hello and Happy Friday to Everyone,
Hope you are enjoying the summer time?
Because the tax credit has expired and slowed home sales, I have decided to implement my own tax credit program. If you purchase a home through me and officially close escrow no later than August 31, 2010, I will rebate you 1% of the purchase price or $3000, which ever is less. My program isn’t exactly like the governments’, but it will help you. Call or email to get started.
Lots of good reading this week, so let’s jump right in.

Hello and Happy Friday to All,
Things have slowed down for sure and they say demand is down 20% since the tax credits stopped. Now with school about to end and families taking their summer vacation, it might be time for the buyers to really keep an eye open for a good deal on a home. Let me know if I can help you.
Let’s get right into this week’s newsletter.
