Happy Friday Everyone,

Lots of great articles and information, so let’s dive right in.

I wanted to post this message one more time for those of you who may have missed it last week. The results in 4 of the 5 links below are in alphabetical order starting with “A” then going through to “Z”.

Here are all the Bank Owned Detached Homes in OC on the market 7 days or less.

Here are all the Bank Owned Attached Homes in OC on the market 7 days or less.

Here are all the Bank Owned homes with a 3% or more price drop within the last 14 days.

Here are all the Short Sale Detached Homes in OC on the market 7 days or less.

Here are all the Regular Sale Detached Homes up to $800,000 on the market 7 days or less. (This report will not display the photos when it opens as it takes too long to load with this many homes). You can click on the “Media” link in each listing to view the photos of each home). If you have other parameters you would like to see, just let me know?

Home prices had a gain in February.

The I.R.S. is telling homeowners how to get tax relief.

Great idea that could potentially help stressed borrowers.

Not sure who I believe here, Bank of America or the title insurer? My money is on the title insurer:)

Check out who is fueling the surge in home sales.

Bad credit? No problem for a loan?

Looks like more foreclosures coming down the pipeline.

Will joblessness effect the real estate market?

Is this the next “Green” phenomenon?

Modified mortgages are growing.

Those who short sale their homes may now face tax consequences.

Can renting out your home cut your taxes?

Interesting peek into Forbes luxury housing index.

Ever wondered where the most expensive zip codes are?

Mortgage rates drop again? Bargain basement mortgage rates?

The second Green Sheet for February has been posted, This is a good read about short sales and how they may affect you.

For those of you interested in past sales, you can check home values here in almost any area.

Remember, you can view all the Orange County bank owned homes here updated daily through the MLS.You can perform your own personal custom home search right here.You will even be able to set up your own account and save homes in a personal folder.

If you don’t like using the mapping technology when searching for homes, you can use this friendly NON mapping search.

For those of you who want to search for homes just like an agent, please sign up for a free Listingbook account here. If you would rather have the homes come automatically to you (or you want both services), I can set up a private personal website of homes that meets your specific criteria. Just let me know what your criteria is and I’ll set it up? Both of these tools are great and will allow you to follow the current real estate market.

Please visit my Ladera Ranch website if you have an interest in this wonderful area. February home sales in Ladera Ranch have been posted.

If you buy or sell a home with me, I will donate a portion of my commission towards your local school PTA, local youth sports organization or your favorite charity.

Referrals are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the continued support and have a great weekend!

Regards,

Eric Israel
